They were the dream -- mechanical beings able to transform their bodies in vehicles, machinery, and animals; a last line against the chaos bringer, Unicron! They are at war, heroic Autobot and Maximal pitted against evil Decepticon and Predacon, both on their homeworld, the metal planet called Cybertron, and here on our Earth. They are the galaxy's last hope, they are--TRANSFORMERS!

Car Brothers spotted, and more!
See this Allspark thread to see their techspecs and biographies, courtesy of Bonebot. He got them at the same place he got the Spychangers last week (what a lucky guy!)-- The Toy House on Mechanic Street in Jackson, MI
ALSO: Sightings Master Dave reports that Spychangers, Megatron AND Car Brothers are at Toys R Us in Wichita Kansas.

Predacon Trio and Skybyte on ebay.
The trio are named Slapper (frog) Darkscream (Flying Squirrel) and Gas Skunk (Skunk). Gelshark is now officially named Skybyte.
Interesting that Gas Skunk retained his name. Too bad about Side Burn though...

Megabolt in limbo
He still hasn't been cancelled, but a general release now isn't likely. Ben Yee suggests a store exclusive like Supreme Optimus Primal has gotten.

Unicron.com's cancelled prototype.
The Lukis Brothers had planned, but had to cancel, this massive undertaking of a Diagnostic Drone. The cost was just too great, and they were afriad of how it would sell.
A shame, a Diagnostic Drone would have been a neat addition to the BM line.
However this does clue us in that they are working on something other than BM exclusives for this year. RiD is likely, but nothing will be available by Botcon. Keep an eye on their site for the release.
