Ultra Mech:

I keep hearing references to Sunstorm being a G1 Seeker, but outside of that E-hobby release with Hauler (I remember where he came from) where exactly does this guy come from? I dont remember ever seeing him in the comic or on TV. And speaking of Hauler, wonder if he was a sneak peek at Grapple, and they just changed the name? Anyone?

anyone figure out what to do with those 4 clear plastic pannels that he came with taped to the box?

Who is Hound, Side Swipe, Smokescream, Tracks?!? Who the heck are they & why isn't there a Rodimus Prime alternator figure?

I noticed that on Unicrons wings when you transform him into a planet that one of the ends has a notch in it. Do you all put the notched end in the front or back. I'm asking here because for me the instructions are kinda vague. On another thought is it just me or are transformers instructions today really crappy compared to G1 and such. One more thing, you guys that have made comments about Unicron needing an engineering degree to remove from his box were right, JEEZ.

When and where will this TF Generation guide be avail?

One from the rumor mill, but the upcoming release of "Defensor" lends some credibility to it. Rumor has it that 2 other micromaster sets will be reissued as classic combiner sets. Sixbuilder will be given decepticon symbols and released as Devastator, Sixwing will be given autobot symbols and be reissued as Superion. If these get released, they'll probably be given repaints, though I doubt they will keep the green-and-purple color scheme for devastator since they already did that with the chase figures in japan.

I've been told (haven't checked on mine yet, not @ headquarters) that Masterpiece Prime's Matrix was designed specifically to also hold in place in original Prime's cab, using either a groove/slot combo or something similar. Can someone verify this? ...or make fun of me for not knowing this already?
