FP may enjoy making these things, but at the end of the day, they're a company that's only viable if they make money. Between the Causality, Function X, and Retro Future lines, they have a lot on their plates, and I doubt they're just deliberately dragging out the release to frustrate the people who give them money.

I agree, Megatronus. What makes you think that, Shadowstream? I haven't seen anything from FP to indicate this sort of action at all.

I'm not sure I'd say that it felt like FP had no idea about the last guy in the set. I'm pretty sure they'll have their stuff planned out well, I just don't think they were quick enough in telling us potential consumers. I suppose part of that might be that they've got a lot of projects going on at the moment and maybe didn't want to overload us with info on stuff that might not be coming out for a long while.

They're probably only able to get the factories to make these things at a certain speed and for a certain time. FP might be one of the more established and larger third parties but a factory is still going to take guaranteed (probably already contracted) projects from a Hasbro or Mattel or whoever over some rinky dink outfit like them.

I'd still have preferred to have seen all of the team and the combined form before having to pull the trigger on the set. Some of the recent 3rd party combiners have looked a lot different than we might have initially thought from the first member.

I'm in no rush to get Diesel. I know it's coming soon because we've seen on-line box pics.

FP probably took more time to release Diesel because it's a big toy. The delay for Diesel is also due to FP releasing other items simultaneously.
Points to the Headsmasters and Glacialbots.

I love the combiners Scale & Sculpts That FP creates. I'm just Hoping FP creates more TF combiners like Abonimus & Superion.

It's quite annoying that some guy in China has at least 4 Motormasters to mess around with but I don't even have one. What's the god damn hold up ? If Peaugh, TJ Duckett, and the rest of the "insiders" got theirs in hand weeks ago, why are they not in stock at retailers yet ? Are they at the bottom of the sea with the Glacialbots shipment ?

Oddly enough, I'm not sure where I'll be putting this Menasor in relation to my Classics shelves. In front is where I have my big guys, but I'm not sure he's big enough to go there, or can go on the shelves proper like Crossfire II Bruticus and MMC's Sixshot. Decisions, decisions...

it was a joke. although there are worse things FP could do than repaint these guys into Autobot colours. They could say it's a Masquerade homage.
