Should KEE make a new Wrath?

Greetings! it has been a while since I have posted here. I just fixed my Wrath after 4 years of it sitting with a blown lp hose. Just got a new one and boy does it take me back. Anyway, I may not be the first to suggest this but... new Wrath! Since the wrath was discontinued, KEE has come out with simple, reliable, and effective markers. Lets be honest, the Wrath is a great marker, but if you do not do your research it can be very complicated.

However, with KEE's new patents and such, why not an improved wrath? Less /no hoses or wires, improved solenoid, etc. Give it more room for the hands, sexy anno, idiot proof design. Thoughts? Ideas? You are a wasting your time OP ect. What do you all think? It is about time KEE came out with another marker to mimic the Ego's and the way they feel. Or maybe I am just a dreamer.

Somewhat but the main thing is the price. The new Wrath would be cheaper IMO. Im not saying it has to be exactly like the wrath, just not Axe and Mini that have an internal bolt.

I highly doubt KEE will make a new wrath. I imagine they'll stick to their empire line of markers because the JT impulse sales weren't great. If they were going to release a new wrath, they would completely rebrand it anyway.

Bit of a necro, but...

If a company does a throwback, it's usually to a product people really connected with, and feel a nice bit of nostalgia when they see/use it. The Wrath was a headache, in every aspect. There were very few reliable FASOR setups, and the Wrath was not among them.

Did I enjoy the Wrath? Yes(when it worked). Would I buy one again? No.

One way of looking at it is that KEE never actually made the Wrath- Marcasite Industrial (which was who Michael Spurlock was working with at the time) did.

The Wrath's lineage was actually continued in the Dangerous Power line of markers. In fact, remember that the Wrath's LCD circuit board displays the line "BD-5" when it boots up. "BD" stands for Black Dragun, the electronic Spyder clone that Spurlock introduced. The various Dangerous Power stacked-tube electropneumatic markers continued the same numeration, with the "Fusion" series of markers like the F8. The FX, "X" standing in for 10, is basically the latest version of the Wrath, which continues the Black Dragun lineage.

I'd buy one if it had the Wrath name just out of nostalgia. Wrath was my first electro, upgraded everything on that marker. That's what carried me into speedball.
