They had to make one from scratch, since they no longer had the tooling. (Unless "lazy" means "most effort spent on a reissue to date," then sure.) Devastator was so not lazily reissued.

I kind of wish they would reissue the other rare targetmasters or at least Artfire. But Takara's probably saw Stepper as a failure, so we never got any more TMs reissued. Their idea of "success" is rather confusing. If anyone is interested interacting directly (or indirectly?) with Takara-Tomy some dude on TFW2005 that goes by the name of Tcracker claims to work for the company. Hit up the forum and harrass him to release more diverse vintage era product and not just lazily reissue Devastator as encore in response to 3rd party Bootlegs. There's also a rumored armored Ultra Magnus Masterpiece remake, a resized MP Megatron remake and a rumored MP Galvatron. They can also do much better than Alternity. Stepper’s cool.

No, nothing for Stepper just yet, but you can submit messages. If you really want something, might be worth your time to check it out. http://www.shapeways.com/shops/sunlink

And no, whatever you do, don't update those flames. They are tacky retro perfection. Sooooo tempting, but soooooo e’spensive. And no, whatever you do, don’t update those flames.

Sounds like something that a Maker Bot could do easy. (That plastic printer thing.). Admittedly, you'd likely have to find a college or something to have this made.

Not nearly enough white helmets in TFdom. His color scheme has always been really nice, but I think what I love about it the most is that white helmet. Not nearly enough white helmets in TFdom.
