WHERE THE HELL IS MY 3PC A3?!?!?!?!?! We have such weird toys straight out of leftfield (Jaegertron anyone?) but nothing even remotely resembling a transformable A3, who is such an iconic figure. Fuuuuuuu...I fear Titanium Saint is dead as well. Anyone else want an IDW A3 besides me? I will go cry alone in the fetal position now...

Btw an older Cheetor wanna-be who becomes an A3 pirate wanna-be won't do for me.

Feel your pain, As I wanted to see a certain one or Two figures as well and they were, no shows.

Sadly when a newer 3rd party company is announced with newer products. The chances of them fading away and releasing nothing is incredibly high.

To answer your question, NO, not at 3rd party prices. Might be slightly interested in a Alpha Trion toy at the Hasbro USA retail stores prices.

In agreeance, That the Botcon Alpha Cheetor Trizer was a terrible toy.

Yea,Tsutsukakushi, I would ideally prefer an official A3, which has the potential to be an awesome figure given that he doesn't have any cumbersome gimmick such as triple-changing. Plus, official prices are much easier on the wallet and I won't feel as though I am handling a glass figure. The only downside is that Hasbro makes piecemeal concessions to fans, which would take an eternity for us to get an official A3. Thankfully Titanium Saint is still alive and moving along.

So which characters were you hoping to see?

BTS Nova Lord, MMC Carnifex. Both toys were update toys for the 1988 MasterForce OverLord character toy.

BTS Nova Lord jet mode was based off a G.I Joe vehicle mode. MMC was basing the OverLord designs off his IDW TF comics appearances.

Word on the street is that Nova Lord has been cancelled...??? In any case, I am actually looking forward to MMC Carnifex. However, I sort of feel as though his announcement was a premature knee-jerk reaction to Nova Lord. As it stands, Carnifex is pretty low on the list of MMC priorities at the moment... :-(

Carnifex wasn't really officially announced by MMC though. There's that teaser and him being shown at "NO PHOTOS!" events, but that's it. He'll probably come after MMC NovaPrime and the DJD, though.

Pretty sure Nova Lord is dead, especially when it's way past its release date and there had been no update from BTS Toys.
