    It’s in the prototype stage, so optimistically it could be by the end of the year. Realistically, probably next year. Worst case scenario is in 2021. So probably not in 3 years.

    this is Thomas as in Thomas the tank Engine, not Tom as in Tom and Jerry.

    But... maybe a FT Rattrap? :D

    Not to be a downer but technically I think the worst case scenario is that it gets taken back to formula and held in perpetual limbo ala FT Blitzwing or the plans fall behind dalianjj's filing cabinet and are never seen again ala FT Trailbreaker.

    Personally, I think THIS is why Blitzwing was taken back to the drawing board.

    Hopefully they release some of the backlogged figures to clear the way for Thomas. Jabber, for example.

    Considering Hasbro has lost the trademark for Octane, could FT actually use Octane?

    Welcome aboard newbie ;) 
    Typically until there's news,the only thread activity will you be asking about thread activity..and that's usually the response you'll get. Blitzing was at last update being completely redesigned. I wouldn't expect anything on this guy until they're further along on Menasor and Superion sadly.

    The rest of us are waiting on updates as well. When you ask "any news?" the rest of us get an email notice that someone has replied to the thread. I open the link in the email hoping for an update and I see nothing new. See how that can get irritating 20 times a day? Welcome to tfw2005 btw:D
