    I hope someday I can go into a store and buy a figure in a box that says" More Than Meets Teh Eye: Auotbot Grappel."
    It would be especially cool if he came in the same wave with an "Autobot Jizz." I'd buy 3.

    Grab some glue and scissors, merge the MP-01 box with this one, and your wish can be true.

    This could be a stretch, but could they have called him Solar Storm Grapple because of the G1 episode where he made that sun device?

    Upon learning of the Autobot Grapple's solar power tower design, Scrapper and the Constructicons pretended to have defected from the Decepticons in order to help him and Hoist construct it. But upon its completion, they turned it and the two Autobots over to Megatron. In a demonstration of Scrapper's motto, Grapple and Hoist were imprisoned in the very structure of their tower.

    Considering that everything else in that listing is in French, that's a fairly safe bet. :) 

    It could certainly be the French word for "grapple". I'm not fluent enough to know that word. But then, neither is Babelfish.

    Au moins, maintenant il y a quelqu'un qui peut parler avec Cybertron Mudflap.

    Has that G2 vibe to me. Despite the Grappel wtf, this figure pleases me very much, yes.

    And suddenly the Solar Storm prefix makes sense! The sun gives him an extra boost of energy.
