Uhm...

1) Where's the official announcement for Grimlock and Swindle? :confused:

2) What happened to that funky gun barrel we've seen on the various protos and test shots? :confused:

That is a strange point. If Grimlock and Swindle are supposedly coming out sooner, why haven't they been announced?

Though I wonder how much anything has to do with their webmaster apparently updating once a month...

Exactly. If he doesn't have it, I might as well say "crap on that," unless they make his decepticon version really good.

After Jon Hartman reported spotting a "Honda S2000" in Wal*Marts computers on August 14, it was only a few days before charle5! posted his proto gallery, and the first protos hit eBay around the same time. Ever since then, fans were debating about whose head that's supposed to be.

On September 24, Ken's Collection (an eBay proto dealer) then informed TFormers about the existence of a test shot with a license plate that says "WNDCGR".

a) Meister was the only Alternator so far who had three different prototype/test shot stages showing up on eBay, with the first one having opaque windows. All the other Altenrators made their eBay debut as protos/test shots with translucent windows in the first place.
b) The reason fans knew about the existence of Meister so far in advance was due to a certain Flash animation Mazda themselves originally featured on their site back January.
