There are probably more of auctions like this.

I also want you guy to tell us about your opinions on the mold.

I think it's like the perfect mold. Just awesome.
But also probably easy for reshelling.

The thing about this mold is (as pointed out by the auction listing) it could work in both the movie and classics lines. I haven't heard of any plans to release it, but if they ever want to pad out future waves of Movie or Universe/Classics lines, it'd certainly be a very welcome addition as Swerve or some other minor character.

My thoughts on the design? Pretty good, seems like quality work, though ultimately a rather generic car bot, and a relatively dull choice of alt mode. - Almost like a smaller version of an alternator.

Actually guys, we already know about that toy. You know about the partnership between Hasbro and General Motors for the movie, right? Well, Hasbro made a figure of the GM Aveo car (2,000 piece if I may add) and sent them to dealers as a give-away. It's a Classics 2.0/Universe figure as the instructions indicate so. Here's a review:

With that, the auction has false advertising

Actually, you are wrong. The advertiser states this is a movie/universe swerve. He is right because this promotion in China conincided with the movie and secondly this is not classics 2.0, it's regular Universe. If you notice the instructions use the old Univesere logo and the Classics 2.0 logo uses a different font as show on Hasbro's new Classics 2.0 website. He also never stated it was news, just showing the auction for one.
