I was just tooling around on RobotKingdom and came across these. Looks like they're doing a black one to go with the iGear "Nemesis" trailer, which is odd because that comes with it's own Roller if I'm not mistaken. And a more traditional blue variant. I've had a few G1 Primes in my life and each had a Blue Roller so for me, this is more natural, if not a little bright. It looks like they're also gonna do a solo Magnus gun as well just in black.
