....well I can, but in the time between that screenshot being taken (which was on the 25th by a person on a different site) and now, said user has removed the "Rodimus Unicronus" option from their offerings:

and the exact same listing that Magnificus first came from, the review the first pictures of Magnificus came from is even still there on page 22 of reviews.

I get what he means, he is saying that the person doesn't really know what line his new toys is from. So while he may think it's Rodimus Unicronus, and lists it as such, it might actually be Shaterred Glass Hot Rod.
Exactly. This particular individual has not only sold stolen factory samples multiple times before (so they're not getting the packaging or instructions to get accurate names from), but we have a specific example of them getting a figure that technically could be released under 1 of 2 names, guessing which name is correct to use for the listing, and using an older existing picture as their stock photo instead of an actual picture of the new figure (for Magnificus they used a picture of him/SG Perceptor from one of the comics). This is literally Magnificus Leak 2: Rodimus Boogaloo.
Plus Hasbro themselves said when SG Grimlock went up for preorder that Grim was their "first SG figure of the year", which inherently implies the existence of more releases, and Rodimus does fit with their other SG releases all being the popular/evergreen characters, characters that were important in the original SG fiction, and/or characters who can double as updates to other more-obscure characters. Pretty sure he was in the recent MotG cards that got SG versions too.
