It would appear that the Minibots release has been delayed, pushing their actual release to the end of July. This later release has meant that they have had their Encore number switched with Omega Supreme, meaning that Omega will now be Encore 09, with Encore 10 to be the Minibots set.
Binaltech BT20 Meister has had his name slightly altered to "Agento Meister", which does not mean agent. According to TakaraTomy, Agento comes from the chemical composition "Ag", which means "Argentum" for silver. It is probable that the name change is due to the new colour that the BT20 Meister figure will be receiving.

"Argent Meister?" Is he going to be in Argetina colors or something?

I would believe silver since 'argent' is french for silver. From the looks of this pic I believe that I am right:

Unless it is misspelled and it is actually agent and not argent.

Thanks for the update Stormrider.
Although I do find it somewhat amusing that the figures name is coming from a translation from French.

Yeah it does seem strange since the Japanese people call silver "gin". But I am always surprised that my Japanese students can rattle off periodic chart compositions very easily. Instead of saying "silver" or "gold" in English, they call it Ag or Au and expect foreigners to understand.
For instance they might say - "My boyfriend bought me an AU ring, last weekend". I think it's one of those Japanglish words. Another good example is KISS Players Autorooper, which is a play on words for Autotrooper.

Sorry, I am on Japanese time. Like most people - I like to sleep in the middle of the night. We also seem to be the only site that has the correct and full English translation.

But I need to ask, whats this "sleep in the middle of the night" that you mention?
Isn't sleep what you do to avoid the bright burny thing in the sky?
I hate that thing.
