Mackatron stages

Does anyone have the different stages of the evolution of Mackatrons yet?
I suspect my concept design was stolen and used for it back when the job applications opened. It was released a while after my submission was rejected. And a Kiwi type pet was released in the same time, which also seemed to rip off a concept I submitted in the application. But I gave the benefit of the doubt for that one since it was a Kiwi bird...

I don't have any screencaps but I've seen it around and it looks like a whispy canine-creature?

It's a dragon looking critter

This is last stage:

This is 1st:

Don't have one evolved at 2nd stage at the moment

The Kiwi one is the Keekee which is supposed to be a kiwi bird

I highly doubt eggcave would purposefully copy it though since they're usually on the ball about not doing so

Egg Cave creatures may look similar to some of the suggestions contained in this forum. However, this does not mean that our artists have used your original design to create the creature.

If you are not credited in the Archives entry for a creature, our artists did NOT use or consult your creature suggestion. Artists are required to inform us when they have used a user suggestion so that we can, of course, give credit where credit is due. However, any similarity in concept does not allow you to lay claim to a creature.

We do admit that we're capable of making mistakes. You can always submit a ticket if you believe it's more than coincidence. But it's likely that, if you aren't credited in the Archives at a creature's release it's because we didn't use your suggestion.

From the examples of the dog dragon thing it does look very similar. And the kiwi even had the same number of feathers on it.
Maybe it was a coincidence, but I just don't feel comfortable with the timing. And I've seen uncredited designs several times. Maybe it's not a big a problem now as it was when I first joined.
Any who, I hope it was a coincidence, but I'm leaving the site after trading off all the pets. Not only has this soured my experience, but I don't have the time to use it and my internet doesn't like this site to run. Internet Explorer as a heads up if this is a problem for anyone else.
Best of luck with the future of this site, it has potential to hit it big.
