Yeah, I was honestly waiting for an E-Hobby Metrotitan as well, but it never materialized. I think the bootleg version scared Takara off, which is a crying shame. I'm half hoping that the recently released Encore Bruticus will yield a Battle Gaia E-Hobby, but it seems unlikely.
And yeah, Victory Saber is a friggen beast... someday when I have a bigger set of shelves and more room, I'd like to be able to display Victory Saber in jet mode alongside Big Powered and the Return of Convoy convoy setup.
