Overtime is in the first set which is 100% a FG product. Overtime also left in 2124 and was training for something. So he would make sense and I would love seeing Overtime, Payback, Tristan and the Betrayer in a heel Titans group.

Anyone have thoughts about the last 2 cards? I'm thinking they'll be updates... we've got a fair amount of new guys already... though I'm thinking there will be a couple people gone, too. I"m thinking Phantasy for sure, and maybe Shann-Ra, too. Hard to tell with the mid card, since the IC challenge was so open ended, but I'd think Stars and Stripes, Tanck, and Tristan are all pretty close to the end of their shelf life.
I have to say this year's lead up is alot nicer than usual... lots of information without 'spoiling' things... I think it's a much better balance than has been the case in the past.
I think I'm most looking forward to see if the infinity challenge progresses in a meaningful way... that's definitely my favorite part of the current story.
I'm kinda meh about Monolith returning... I like parity more than having guys that good in my feds.. I'd love to see the Sly-Hector thing come to a head at last, though.

I assume the art in the promoter is Dialectus and Abroz. Kind of lukewarm on the art if it is them, but it could just be art from somewhere else in the handbook. I liked that envisioning Werner did for someone's fed for D & A.
Kind of lukewarm on the PSI art as well, but I'm very interested in seeing his mechanic.
I think one of the two remaining guys will be a newcomer. Just because of a little inside info (unless the info I was tipped off about is a character in the book only).
THis set looks to be great. I can't wait to get back to it. Have some storylines I want to continue from last year!

Ugh... that'll be disappointing if that's Abroz and Dilectas. (I hadn't looked at the promoter cover until you said)
I was picturing them as being.. Cosmic.

I was hoping to see a revised card for Coven Black especially since 3 of the new characters involve him. I dont mind the vampire character it's just that the card stinks. I was also hoping that Tristan would stink around and maybe form an official tag team with the Betrayer. Overall I think this set is going to be pretty good though

I had kind of imagined them as weird energy like beings with humanoid shapes.
Anyways, I loved 2125 but I'm really lukewarm to 2126 at best. I find the Star Warrior thing kind of interesting and Monolith looks interesting but other than that nothing is really catching me so far.

I had kind of imagined them as weird energy like beings with humanoid shapes. I wish I could find that picture Werner did for someone for Abroz & Dialectus. It was pretty great. It had the 'Watcher' from Marvel comics feel. They were hovering over a galaxy. It was the closest thing to what I was picturing them looking like. Elderly cosmic beings.

If these "guys" are cosmic beings they can assume any form they want right ?

Yeah, that's much better... maybe I'd differentiate them just a bit more (though color could do that, too) but that's more like I pictured.

Yeah, I had a picture in mind with a cross between the Green Lantern Guargians and the Watcher pointing down to a galaxy near you...
Needless to say, Werner hit it out of the ballpark this time around! (well, he does that everytime anymore it seems) ;D
Thanks for the props toasterboy!
