Mattel beginning to address issues with the new TrackMaster?

As we all know, the new Trackmaster engines all have the same chassis, with the only difference being the wheel color and some of them having a wheel molded into the chassis; the universal chassis is what I consider to be the only real problem with the new range. Anyway, it appears that Mattel has realized that we have been complaining, and they are slowly fixing this problem! Here's basically what's happening: The new wave of Greatest Moments has been released, consisting of Samson, Flynn, and Scruff. Samson and Scruff are nothing special, in that they still have the same chassis as all of the other locos. However, upon seeing TrackMaster Village's review of Flynn, I was pleasantly surprised: he has a (slightly) different chassis! The chassis itself has no front wheels or axles, which are instead attached to the loco's shell. This results in an odd-looking 2-wheel chassis:

What do you think? Is Mattel becoming less lazy? Do you think this change will be made to other engines? Lemme know!
