The strange winged lizard toy from Cybertron has surfaced once again, this time in his packaging on eBay. The toy will apparently not be a part of Galaxy Force and is exclusive to Hasbro.
This confirms the name "Wreckloose" for the toy.
Take a peek at the auction and images
here.
UPDATE: Thanks to
XGrimlock2002 who e-mailed the seller to get this
image of the back of Wreckloose's card including pictures of both modes and his bio.

Mike of
The 2005 Boards has discovered some changes that have been made to the Transformers Cybertron Deluxe packaging. From his images it appears the blister no longer wraps around the card backing but is glued to the card in the more tarditional way, there are also a few minor changes to the graphics on the card itself. Check out images of these changes

Seibertron's very own Burn has posted some rather unfortunate news for those who are waiting for Binaltech Wild Rider (known here as Alternator Decepticharge):
Thank you very much for your order. Unfortunately we have received word from the manufacture for the following product that the release of this item(s) has been indefinitely postponed. No new release date has been set at this time.
Item: Takara BT-16 Wild Rider feat Honda S2000 (TAK64265)
As result of this, we are taking the step of cancelling all customers orders for this that have been placed at this time. Should the manufacturer announce at firm release date for this item again in the future, we will once again begin accepting orders for it.
Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience and disappointment. We look forward to your continued support of HLJ.
Best regards

According to Prime Nova, one of our fellow Seibertronians, "Hasbro has finally secured the rights to the name Bumblebee!
"Minicon Sparkplug will be released under that name in the first or second wave of Minicon Battle Packs to secure the name on store shelves. Hasbro is also looking into releasing the G1 toy somewhere. I'm told there are also designs for TWO new Bumblebee toys as well. One for the Alternators and a second for the tail end of Cybertron.
"I think they're serious about keeping the name this time. :)"
Thanks for the information Prime Nova! Keep the rumors coming!!!
EDIT BY SEIBERTRON:
Thanks to Nevermore, we've found out that there's some additional information regarding whether or not "BUMBLEBEE" is an official name. Apparently this has been part of some long standing debates at the other TF sites.
Some information from the United States Patent and Trademark Office:
http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=76634431
A thread has been started at Transfandom.com by Aerosurge regarding this back on July 20th, 2005:
http://forums.transfandom.com/invboard/index.php?showtopic=30197 and a thread was started by Nevermore at TFArchive.com back on April 7th, 2005:
http://www.tfarchive.com/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29877.
The reason this is in the Sludge Report and not in the News section is because it's a rumor - plain and simple. Please keep that in mind when reading this page. When Hasbro or the Government says "no dice" on this name or someone says the name can apply to our favorite yellow Autobot, then it's news. Until then, it's a rumor which has been posted purely for entertainment purposes. Please remember that a rumor is a piece of
unverified information to which we make no claim to the validity of this information. Is this information about the "Bumblebee" name fact or fiction? We provide this entertaining rumor so that YOU can decide ...
Since the writers have included Bumblebee in the story for the 2007 Transformers movie from Dreamworks, I don't doubt for a moment that Hasbro and/or Dreamworks are actively trying to secure this name especially if Volkswagen happens to come around and decide that they'd like the Beetle (new or old) featured in the movie. If they want the name "bumblebee" badly enough, Hasbro and Dreamworks might just get it. Just about anything's possible when money is involved.
Keep your fingers crossed ... we might just yet have a BUMBLEBEE once again just around the corner.
