So I was checking some upcoming 3rd party TFs... then I remembered one I REALLY wanted and realized last pictures we had dated back 2011... WTH happened to them? I'm sure you can think of many more, feel free to post them here...
So What ever happened to the MMC Heart of Steel Insecticons?
There were a lot of photos about their prototypes:
Heart of Steel was IMO one of the best serie of the TF I ever seen, the comics were Awesome, Mastermind Creations did superb jobs on all Prime locomotive, Shockwave boat and Seekers... I was so hyped for the insecticons train... and I believe that in the Seekers comic books there was an image of an upcoming Hound Heart of Steel figure:

And all of this just... disappeared?
Went on the back burner?
Again MMC teased us a figure of Arcee called Azalea which looks super nice, I'm guessing she should come out soon after MMC finishes putting out their Predacons
But no news on the release window? :-(
Who can forget Bendway? The Robot Autobus that I had on preorder for 3 years at BBTS and we never gotten any news (BBTS Says "sold out" but my preorder got cancelled after 3yrs of waiting):

Then there was Xtransbots that were suppose to put out in October 2012 their versions of "MP" Ironhide & Ratchet:

I know he doesnt hold a candle to the IGear's versions... but the reason I only gotten one iGear's iteration of Ratchet was because I wanted to buy that XTransbot's Ironhide to have at least a set of different robot that scaled good with the MP class. Never heard from them... instead they are coming up with Huffer that should be releasing soon. (which looks sweet and I really want him but still on the fence).
Speaking of Huffer, CUBEX were suppose to come up with their versions:
Personally I love Cubex a bit more than XTransbot's, Cubex seems a bit more intricate, while XTransbot seems way too simple... but its my personal taste. Problem is after Cubex announced their Huffer, we never heard anything more... while XTransbot is coming out in a few weeks
I know there was also TFC's Dinobots combiner... dunno what is happening with this one:
And apparently TFC is coming up next with their protectobots but I'm not too impressed with it I'm tired of seeing the "clearly they are legs as forearms" on the late combiners... only Giant & Hercules succeded in not getting this syndrome:
You guys know of more? Maybe you got news about them? Please share! ;-)
