Not many pictures of Motormaster, so far. Wonder if that is a sign of delays and or areas.

Just wait until TFCon this coming weekend.

I'll still eat a Wheelie if this prediction is incorrect.

Good point.

On a sidenote, something wacky with either this site or my internet connection. This is the my third post that either posted pre-emptively or double posted. Hmmm...

Mkall! Mkall! Mkall!

I'm hoping there's some juicy FP news this coming weekend. I remember how awesome all the announcements were from last year, and how a lot of us were sobbing over our soon to be depleted wallets/bank accounts.

I'd love to see a "final" Motormaster, and maybe news of a repaint gift set. Also to hear some updates on the rest of the Function X line. I dunno if it's the need to produce more revenue first, or priorites with other items. Just want to get a better idea of when I can expect these guys.

I'm waiting on Hexatron which should come in this week. Then it's a matter of waiting on Paladin/Chaos or not to ship my POL...

Now, bring on TFCon! I'm happy whether or not Motormaster is revealed.

Hmm, yeah. Sixshot.

So, for me, G1 combiner-wise...

Menasor is almost complete, thanks to Fansproject.

Devastator is complete, thanks to TFC.

Bruticus is complete, thanks to Hasbro and Fansproject.

Superion is... getting there, thanks to TFC. :-?

That leaves Predaking via Mastermind Creations... and waiting on the others. *Sigh* More G1 combiners, please!

so My last chance and Hexatron is processed as well. I'm going to wait for the Paladin/Chaos, and the generations case and the Skystalker/Jetfire thing before I ship =X and by that time Maybe Motomaster will be here and bang get all them at once. haha

I can't ship my loot now even if I want to. way too much stuff coming to my place right now that I won't have proper time to mess with everything

First review seen on Youtube... I haven't seen posts from our usual suspects as most of them are off to TFCon. For now.

This truck is either gonna make or break the set. Fansproject has lost their edge. lets see if they can at least keep up with MMC, TFC, and Toyworld.

Darn it! I wanted to see Mkall eat his Wheelies...

If the truck is going to make or break the set, shouldn't you wait until it's released before declaring that FP has lost their edge?

:-?

I don't think they've lost their edge. This looks like classic FP to me. Everything starting with the not-Insecticons has been really lackluster in my opinion, and this set is no exception. I still believe that these were designed a long long time ago though, and that's why the combiner aspect of it isn't quite as cool as some of the other third party combiners out there. FP kept it simple, and while I'm not the biggest fan of some of the design choices, I'm still buying them all because they do look decent combined.

From TFCon 2013:

Fansproject's M3 (MotorMaster) is now named Diesel. Will also have an MSRP of $120USD.

Ouch, $120 is kinda steep, though understandable given the price points of the smaller figures plus the fact that Diesel is going to have to include all of the combiner kibble. Hopefully he'll be up for preorder and released soon.

Kinda steep! This should've been $100 max... Committed now, so not much I can do about it.
