Ben doesn't seem to be aware yet that Swindle has Trailbreaker's head. The rest is nice as usual, aside from the fact that Doug evidently changed the spelling of "Lord Chumleigh" (from the translation of MP Convoy's booklet) to "Lord Chumley". Personally, I didn't identify the Lunar Colony in Fan to Fan's translation, since I didn't pay it the proper attention. Note to self: Never underestimate Ichikawa again.

 

Now I'm really curious who these "Unleashers" from Grimlock's story chapter are supposed to be...

arg i was just about to post this topic damb

 

basicly he got into BT-09 body with a little help and then did a runner after the all clear form the team that built his new body thats soooo swindle

 

ok so 2 gesalts are out of action now bruticus and menisor talk about a bad idea

did you catch the comment that Ultra Magnus is leader of the BT autobots? Is this accurate? New info? I can't believe that that will follow through to the movie. O Prime will be the leader in that for sure nless their is some bizzarre plot twist that revives him half way through the movie.

According to chapter 7 from Grimlock's booklet, Prime is busy fighting on Cybertron at the time the BT story takes place.

And just in case anyone makes a point about Swindle's head not looking like Trailbreaker at all:

Anyone who insists this is not supposed to be the same head might get a new pair of glasses.

Youre absolutely right. But it does resemble the dreamwave style MUCH more than the 'toon version. The 'toon version wasnt nearly as detailed and made him look a lot older. Bottom line is, who cares. Its a good-looking head mold, so no matter who it resembles as long as the proportions and sculpting are right and it goes with the rest of the tf, thats all that matters to me.

Man they do look alike. I like Jeeps, but I wont get him.

Dude, do you even collect Transformers?

 

Anyhow..yeah..its Trailbreaker...And who is afraid that the BT story will state Magnus' armor was destroyed by the plague, but the white cab survived, creating the need for MP-02?

well seeing as master peace and BT are differant lines i dont think they will
