Unfortunately, some of the alt rotations are borked and I don't think any of the admin staff now possess access to the HMW code/toggles to be able to effect any changes.

I'm starting to guess that's why I never see the Hun-Grrr alt :(

I do wish it were at least possible to see what alt-modes were currently available without needing to either reset a character or create a new one. I knew it was very unlikely that the (rare) Futuristic Motorbike that Alacrity used would be available, but I am disappointed that the original alt-mode he used back in the early '00s (Lancia Stratos Turbo) is unavailable.

Is it so broken that even Ryan doesn't have the access required to fix the problem?

He'd have access, but given the forums are barely a priority (except when the database really craps on itself) then I wouldn't be expecting any HMW fixes.

Do you not have an "Alt-Mode" link on your registry page, as this *should* show you the alts currently available despite the broken and unbroken parts of the cycle?

Yes, I do. I just assumed it was a list overall and not what was available. :o)

This site has priorities?
Oh! Right! Trying to siphon money from shmucks.
I've been away so long I forgot how things work around here.
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.
