    Given that Zeta allegedly left them with nothing, the more accurate appellation would be "has beens". :p 

    I'm sure they'll resurrect themselves. Whatever happened with them and Zeta aside, there's probably a better than zero chance that we don't know the whole story. They likely have more than a few connections left to pull from and get back up again. If they're truly horrible people that don't pay their designers, history will repeat itself. If they aren't, then hey - new Predaking that might be able to replace MMC's robot diaper with full on robot pants. Or not. Who knows? The fun's in the waiting.

    That is something I still wonder about. Did Zeta design them with the deviation due to their own intent, or did they do it to fulfill the order they received from TW. It could literally be either one, or both, at fault and we haven't seen any new designs from either side since the split to know for sure what they would do without the influence of the other.

    Zeta has "re-issued" a number of things. But not Constructor.
    I wonder what that means.

    Okay, so "nothing" is a little hyperbole on my part. That being said, I think that's about all Toyworld has been doing lately - flogging the heck out of the yellow version of Constructor. Nothing new has come from them in a while. Again - I'm sure they'll come back at some point assuming there's more to the story than them being jerks and not paying people.

    I’ll be really disappointed if this turns out to be just a regular MP-ish Predaking. Something that actually resembles that artwork would be really fresh.

    Well then they should've showed proper G1-style art not some chibi-horizon zero dawn Predacon artwork that's rad as hell. These are what they teased me with; These are what I want.

    Sorry, I should have Blue texted the number.
    I was being somewhat facetious based on board activity, online reviews, and such.
    I personally prefer GT Gravity Builder, but I suspect I'm in the minority.

    I actually think that number could be not that far off in 'our' MP-dominated 3P community; I mean this would equate to a TW to GT ratio of roughly 2:1, preference wise.

    I'd be surprised if there is anything (possibly more teasers will happen) before TFCon in a couple of weeks. Of course there is no guarantee there will be anything there either.
