This isn't an early April Fool's, right?

Because I'll be upset if it is. MP Erector is up there on my list of redos/updates I'd love to see (alongside a new TFcon Nightbird).

(Irony upon ironies, I was just chatting with someone last night and we were trying to figure out what the exclusive's base mold would be - didn't expect you guys to put out an MP Erector so soon after the original!)

Not an April Fools joke, no.

How do you know it's not an April Fool's joke, like the one from MMC?

Trust me, he knows.

I just posted this in the TFW2005 forums, but thought it should be here too:

If this X-Transbot Shafter is true, then it should not have been posted around April Fools date, especially when it's already April's Fool in China today, from a 3rd party based in asia. It is better to wait a few more days, or have announced it a week or two earlier, just not to get fans confused like this, or if it is the 3rd party's fault, let them know for next time.

Thanks
