    Make toys/ fanproject is now pumping them out like hotcakes! I like the lazer optimus prime, the sea spray, and the power glide. Way to go, and now soon they will sell more than igear. Lol!

    Seaspray and Powerglide are brought. The G2 prime trailer, I might bite depending on price. Also I agree with others said: Ok we got two Devs. Lets get a updated Menasor. Defensor. Like gotdamn. Those gestalt are vastly overlooked and underrated. I support the Devs in hope that soon they will be making updated Stunticons and Protectobots.

    Ya I'm pretty sure, but I have no proof, that FP has had the highest sale numbers of all the groups.

    There is still the rumour that FP would be making Menasor early next year. Seeing how the G2 prime trailer and Seaspray/Powerglide is not FP, that means they actually have time to do the rumour Menasor next year. Here's to hoping.

    I think the Stunicons are coming out this year. If they are Crossfire set 3, they have them listed as a 2011 product.

    Depends on what part of 2011 they were aiming for. If they were aiming for say, December, then...

    I think they're already a month off from their original target dates for the Insecticons.

    The sooner the release date, the better. I'm hoping that they are released 2 at a time with Motormaster last. Since MM will probably cost more due to size and accessories.

    Back on topic. Maketoys hasn't even released any products yet but they have already made an impact. If their quality and prices are as good as Fansproject, they might become the #2 3rd party company.

    Well the Prime add on is just so going to be picked up the minute a pre order is up. I don't know why exactly but I get a very big convoy vibe from that full on super mode.

    PG and seaspray... just pass I actually like hasbro's better, cybervers for PG that is.

    Then we come to devi, hummm its okay it new and different to the current one out there but at the moment I like the style of TFC alot more, it looks more solid and less parts forming and I like the reimagening instead of the straight updates but I'm opening to being proved wrong and this being awsome.

    Slag! :(  I went out looking for RtS G2 Prime (& another figure, which had more priority), having passed at least 8 roughly 10 days ago (wasn't interested until this Trailer & Polenicus showed off his & I noticed it's got more engineering than I thought), & there were none to be found! :cry  :banghead: 

    I really like this trailer & it's multifuntionality... But I don't like how G2 went from abundant to scarce in under 2 weeks!

    It's because people who wouldn't give the time of day to a new interpretation of G2 Laser Optimus as a posable Deluxe class swordsman really like the idea of making him really close to the original G2 Prime. I guess.

    I couldn't ever see myself paying top dollar for this set. Laser Optimus has been used in fiction once to my knowledge, and that as a body for Optimus Primal. It certainly looks amazing, but it's a rendition of a thing that I don't want that much.

    I wonder if this Devastator is really why Venksta said that FansProject wouldn't be doing an upgrade for Classics Devs after all back when Hercules was first being talked about on here.
