    at some point i wonder if some other company just gonna step in and make their own GT limb bot compatible torso/hot spot just to capitalize on GT's SLOW forever rollout.

    Would be a gangster move. Would put all kinds of pressure on 3P companies to not dilly dally with their combiners (or, more realistically, to hold off on releasing any of them until they’re 100% completed in design/testing/molds as a collective). But it’s unrealistic. The original companies would have such a massive head start in concept/design/engineering/tolerances that anyone trying to catch up and sneak past them would be no doubt releasing an inferior product.

    Not really an accurate analogy, is it? They're not going for the same market and they know it. GT is going for a CHUG/voyager-scaled updated aesthetic, not MP. It's more like saying football is better than rugby... maybe it is, maybe it isn't... they're too completely different games, and which you prefer will decide which you think is better... but it's purely subjective as they don't compete against each other (lucky for footballer players ;) ).

    And as far as the scenario where HasTak, FT, XTB and MMC all released MP versions... I don't think it would affect GT's sales very much, as they're doing their own thing, and those of us into that scale and aesthetic won't be swayed by options that aren't competing in the same arena. I'm getting XTB's Van Guard for my MP shelf, but I'm still looking forward to Foo Fighter for my Defensor.

    What about when I can finally afford the limb-bots?

    Can I post goofy pics of what they're up to while they're waiting for their captain?

    Daimchoc is this confirmed? Man, GT needs to sell this render to a factory if they don't plan on continuing with this.

    They are not longer active on weibo due to some toxic "fans"
