If you were thinking "Man, I hope that the upcoming third party Insectitrain is made by Mastermind Creations", then think no more! Our partners in crime Mastermind Creations have updated their facebook, and we get a little glimpse at their upcoming products for this year, 2011. We had a rumor that they'd be making Hearts of Steel Shockwave, and that is correct as he'll be under the moniker, KM03 Cyclops. That Shrapnel prototype that you saw at the end of December is going to be a product of MMC as well, as they'll be releasing him together with the rest of the Hearts of Steel Insecticons as KM04 Assassin Squad. See for yourself below!

Those were 3rd party items I passed on due to price. So I did not follow their release closely. I'm guessing they must have been pretty cryptic. But I am STOKED about these. I love HOS and got my KM for xmas from my awesome wife. I want these and a HOS Megs bad! Need more info.

Yummy HOS goodness. Looks like Mastermind Creations is going to be big this year. Very awesome news. Many points for them for not going the predictable route with the character selection.

I might have to pick up Knight Morpher now, but probably on it's second go around since Vengelus said the Black Version fixed some problems so hopefully they will do a re-release.
I'm a bit bummed that they aren't going to do Megatron though. I seriously want that badass Cannon Concept on my shelf!

Nobody said that they aren't going to do Megatron. Just have some patients, I am sure he will come eventually.

So much for the back box art of Annihilator vs. Ultra fighting scene. Darn it, I was hoping the release of Ultra, LOL, before Cyclops.

These look great. I love my Knight Morpher, so I'm confident Shockwave and the Insectitrain will be good, too.

Are the doing a second release of the KMC?
The insecticons look great. I cannot wait to get my hands on them. I'm on the fence with Shockwave. I may have to pick him up to fill the spot on my shelf but I'm still hoping a third party compand and/or Hasbro gives us a Neo-G1 version of him.

Very intrigued. Just from the preview of the Shrapnel mold this is a set I really want, but have doubts. My wallet screams in abject terror when I go near a grocery store. I wonder what else they have up their sleeves.

HOS Shockwave could be very awesome. I hope they keep expanding the 3rd party HOS Transformers line, because I really want to see a HOS Starscream toy, his design for that comic series was amazing.

Fantastic!!! I'm very glad Mastermind Creations are doing these figures.
I don't think it's a coincidence that neither have had Classics versions though.

If I remember proper, last year I saw a re-release of the Insecticons at my local TRU Xpress. While not in the Classics line I do recall seeing them.

They do. I was hoping during the Animated series that after the introduction of the Dinbots we would get the 3 real insecticons.
