    Yep, working perfectly. It's a battle game. Interesting. Prizes are: XM Radio, 2 tickets to the movie on the Fourth or 2 tickets to the Premier.

    I don't think it's working right either. I created my Autobot (Brawn, Silverado) but it wouldn't let me change his paintscheme or anything, and then on the 'main' page he didn't show up at the top left of the screen and it said nobody was online, even though I'm pretty sure there were people from Jalopnik & 2005 online at the same time I was. *shrug*

    Probably not all of the functionality is there yet, I registered but then it told me I chose not to sign up for prizes (which I did) then it wouldn't let me log back into it.

    Yea, it does not appear to be working... just get a blank white screen with 'loading' ... will keep an eye on the site though. Cool idea!

    Wonder if the other car companies are like "Damn, we missed this marketing opportunity."
