I couldn't find it on tfw... but Seibertron says that it was an email from Hasbro to those who preordered it (in America).https://www.seibertron.com/transform...hsaurus/47420/
Starts here on TFW. Seems to be real.
I'm going to guess that the moulds were made a few years ago, and were a casualty of the failure at retail (well, the purported refusal of certain giant retailers to buy any more of them) of the battle-masters and micro-masters from Siege and Earthrise.

The message from Hasbro Pulse with that image...
“Congratulations! We’re happy to announce that the Transformers Generations Deathsaurus HasLab project has met its backing goal and will officially go into production!
We just learned that the evil Deathsaurus has kidnapped Pīpō and Boater! Good news, Transformers fans! Your overwhelming support of this HasLab saved the two members of the Autobot Rescue Patrol Team from the clutches of the Decepticons!
As a THANK YOU for your support in making the Transformers Generations Deathsaurus campaign our most successful Transformers HasLab to date, each product will include Pīpō and Boater figures seen here:”
A short video posted on youtube by Hasbro Pulse, with the designer Hisashi Yuki talking about its creation...
Something interesting - he not only designed the Haslab Star Saber toy (and Victory Leo), but also designed the Masterpiece Star Saber toy (which I think I recall him saying that he regrets not getting a chance to do a Masterpiece Victory Leo to go with it).
Just venting. The EBgames were I preordered mine is closing and my preorder got cancelled. Hope there's spare when they are released.
I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
