I was reading the wiki's page on toy swapping, and I saw this:
QUOTE(TFWiki) The most bizarre report thus far was a painted piece of wood in a Transformers packaging. Does anyone have any more information on this? It jalmost sounds too strange to be true. |

This was added by me ages ago, and I read about it, I think, on Seibertron, who have a tendency to purge their forum archives, so I'm afraid the source is lost to the sands of time.
Other stories I read about were "Armada Jetfire with nothing but the chest plate inside the packaging" and "a broken up half of RID Ultra Magnus inside an Armada packaging". -------------------- |

The block of wood supposedly replaced a Cybertron Mudflap in his packaging.
His vehicle mode is remarkably similar to a blue block of wood (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif) -------------------- |

 I love this thread. Group: Citizen Posts: 20,180 Joined: 22-March 02 Member No.: 731 Faction: Autobot |
Yes, I heard it was Mudflap as well. Epic as he was, his presentation in the box was nothing short of epically bad. And thus, epic toy swap.

Sorry about that guiz, I really wanted that toy but all I had to trade was a hive of live hornets.
I thought it was fair. -------------------- |

Ah, ok, Universe. It's hard for me to think that Universe 2.0 came out last June already.

Now that I say it out loud OPTIMUS PINE sounds like a Transformers themed car air freshener.
