So...yeah. MaRo released this response on his blog.
My condolences to those who desperately wanted it to happen but we must remember that the demand only started to really occur at least a year ago, and they only just now see the demand behind it.

Well.... I am really, really dissapointed, I loved thopters, they were my first archtype. Please, please let this be a joke that contributes to the "wanting to revolt" theme of Aether Revolt.

I wanted it too, but I'm lucky that I didn't get the remaining pieces for it now. Instead, I put my deckbuilding energy towards an R/G deck centered around artifacts.
Honestly, I don't mind so much but what irks me most is that they literally just learned about the demand today.

Theu create sets years in advance, MaRo has even said that he just assumed that they created a artificer commander. He also said Saheeli Rai took the spot for the big (rare and up) card related to artifacts, and they made her a Planeswalker because they are making planeswalkers more diverse, that central characters need to be walkers, and further story telling opportunities rely on walkers. I don't personally agree with a large portion of their reasons but that's what MaRo has said in many blog posts.

Honestly I want a life gain commander (has all the colours for good life gain, it just has to have some synergy) before another artificer commander.

I would like something in that can be built in creative ways so that not one deck is the same. Difficult, but I would love for it to happen.
Oh well, the lesson learned here is that instant gratification is not always the answer. :/

is my favourite colour combination for commander and has been pushing my favourite colour combination for a while. I love Riku, I love Surrak, I love Maelstrom Wanderer, I love Intet, and Animar is not a commander I like. I do not love how everyone who doesn't know me assumes I'm running a generic broken build, but it's a worthy price for my dumb splashy-ness.

Guys, you have a U/R artifact commander.

@DarkLaw no, a strictly izzet commander based around artifacts.
Also, if we got a izzet artifact commander, it would probably be like an ulrich.

SwaggyMcSwagglepants It's a joke, though it does technically fill the requirements that most people list. Scarecrows are artifacts, after all.

Someone post a picture of Anakin burning on Mustafar, telling Obi-Wan through his teeth that he hates him... That's how I feel about this.
