To those of you with Cybertron Lugnutz in hand:
Anyone else notice the strange glitch in the pic of Lugnutz in bot mode on the back of the card? If you look closely at his right side (our left), you can see what appears to be one of his handlebars and only one on his left side (our right) where both should be since they can't be split apart (at least, mine don't). Any ideas about this? Might this be a photoshopping error or is the image culled directly from a possible prototype? Or am I just crazy? Could be the latter.....Comparison photos are available from Seibertron.com here: http://seibertron.com/toys/fullsize....ize=1&image=10
and here: http://seibertron.com/toys/fullsize....ize=1&image=50
Many thanks to kjeevahh for the sweet sig.!!

It's not like there haven't been physical differences in the pictured toys before, beyond just the decoes. In recent memory, we have Alt. Sideswipe, who sports a molded insignia in the photos, tampoed on the toy. Cruellock sports extra molded details on his legs or hips that aren't present in the photographs. Energon Scorponok has different hip guns. Most recently, it's been discovered that Cybertron Defense Scattorshot also had some changes along the way, since the back-of-box photos show a much more condensed tank mode. | |

On the back of his card, the engine is MIA. Instead, that section is molded into the shape of the hood. Personally, I'd have rather had him that way. But oh well. Quote:
