AMExchange

AM Exchange was a top secret Pentagon-funded media project designed by former Clinton Communications Director George Stephanopoulos and British expatriate Paul Gallagher. 

After its declassification in 2015, the project came under scrutiny for its use of controversial cloning techniques. Using extracted DNA from hair clippings of MTV’s Jordan Catalano genetic engineers grafted laboratory-grown skin onto first iterations of the original RoboCop suit to create what they hoped would be a biomechanical masterpiece.

Instead scientists were met with multiple roadblocks as various renderings of Frontman 2.0 were continually below average height, prone to acne outbreaks and susceptible to seasonal allergies.

These unforeseen circumstances delayed the widespread public release of the project slated for the summer of 1997 and the project was ultimately abandoned as Halliburton's “Nu-Metal Project” gained widespread popularity in the early 2000s.
