Sorry, not really much of a discussion, but I just finished reading through FUTURE SHOCK 2130 and I can't help myself.
The Future Shock trio of Chaos Supreme, Prime Colonizer, & Minister of War is awesome
Love Colby's return as the alternate Magnus the Magnanimous. Feels like an extension of Colby-centric editions Mega Tournament and the CPC Fed War editions.
So cool.

Lope might end up becoming my favorite though. The GWF's next 'classic hardcore headbanger'.
Looks like some really cool developments in the current game. Glad I decided to catch up.

Lope is clearly Tom's desire to have Wolf in the game even if it's not the original Wolf. I won't spoil anything else.

Yeah this set was awesome. Prime Colonizer was my personal favorite. So much fun to write for.

Lope is clearly Tom's desire to have Wolf in the game even if it's not the original Wolf. I won't spoil anything else. I marked when I read what Lope did when he came out of the Transevolver. This alternate GWF opens up all sorts of new possibilities for new sets and characters. I imagine at some point we may get a GWF Classics set featuring this alternate federation. Its actually a really interesting concept using THE END as a jumping off point in that universe to have talent from that universe start showing up in the current game. The only problems is all of the classic imiposters running around. That creates a bit of confusion, so I'm hoping in the following sets Tom clears that up. I plan on reading through 2131 after work tonight/this morning and flipping through 2132 and 2133. Excited to see how it all plays out. C'mon Tom, you have me hooked, don't let me down!

And the time travel stuff allows for all sorts of things on the promoters end. Maybe in my universe in 2098 Wolf goes into the Transevolver and becomes Lope. Who knows! The possibilities are limitless. It really is up to me!

Love the FUTURE SHOCK series. Sort of feel as though Future Shock could of been a massive 9-part saga on its own instead of just one piece of a greater Universe Shattered whole. Either way, Future Shock is a really cool concept and is perfect in that it opens up all sorts of new doors for the future of the GWF and the game.

@ DMKII - I so wanted more lol.
That is so far my favorite - I guess cause I am an older player. Another good kick for me would be sons of the legends.

I think that while Future Shock could have gone for a while, it A: might have felt like a crutch bringing back old favorites and not developing anyone new really and B: would put a lot of old guys in the fed (Guys like Chaos and Traitor were really aging at that point) as well, you'd have to keep going with excuses why these guys kept turning up. Still, it's Tom, there's a chance he'll revisit the concept at some point.
