Apparently, Down Force is the second member of the
Intimidator group to be released, not Last Chance, to correct a previous
mistake. No matter; regardless of release order, Down Force is the FansProject
stand-in for Dragstrip, the loveable psychotic six-wheeled race car member of
the Stunticons.

FansProject Intimidator: Last Chance
Last Chance is the second installment in the very first set
of Third Party Stunticons, now that apparently they and their Aerialbot nemesis
are the hot 3P focus, and is the Dead End stand in. We covered the basics of this
figure, in terms of size and build and all of that, a few months back with Car Crash, before shelving the set until the new year in order to try and finish
off a bunch of other Coffin articles.
Last Chance, right away, is a gorgeous figure, with that
Dead End maroon color just bursting out at you. The robot mode is very
interesting, unconventional in places, and it and vehicle mode are nicely
stylized in a way that makes the Intimidator team similar to the Warbotron team
in that three of the figures are realistic and accurate, while the other two
take some risks and wind up being cooler for it. The transformation is real
simple, not unusual for a figure of this size, or from this particular set of
figures.

FansProject Intimidator: Car Crash
It’s time to start looking at a new Third Party combiner
team, one of two new ones before 2018 comes to a close, in the midst
of Warbotron and Quantron and at the end of the Poseidon articles. But, you
know, it’s Coffin style to dive in to a new thing when there are still old
things in progress. So, let’s look at Car Crash, first of the FansProject
Stunticons.
