i remember seein official pics from toy fair or somethin like that with those symbols on them. they're supposed to be there. probably to capitalize on some of the scenes set in China
*shrug*
*edit* found the pic
i'll pass
the "premium" version is still good enough for me   |

for exmaple,Mandarin Spawn II,there are some chinese on his body,means "doom soldier",but the hand writing was terrible,just like a 5-6 ages child write. My blog My Twitter |

If Optimus adds them by himself,I have to say he made a wrong choice.....because these words will makes him ridiculous and more outstanding.... My blog My Twitter |
