    Yes, it does.... This will also start selling tomorrow in brick and mortal retail outlets here in HK, though, so we should be able to see more pics and maybe reviews over the weekend. Too bad my dealer is only available on Monday.

    Looks like most of the paint survived, but wow, those are some dull pictures. Can someone please get these retailers a real camera?

    Otherwise, I am super psyched about getting him. I will say though that the head sculpt leaves a little something to be desired IMHO.

    That is a strange looking tail. Still too cool to pass up though.

    Yeah, there's that. But I have already accepted that as given with these mainline releases, and I will take whatever goodness I can get.

    It will be interesting to see the the Takara treatment of this guy. For my money I'm good with the domestic release.

    Oh man! He looks so dope in these underlit, crappy phone pics, imagine how awesome he is in real life! I'm so glad he's huge, and the light effect is so well integrated. And he's 3 per case. I think I'm having heart palpitations!

    GLORIOUS! And he's huge! (helps that Optimus is puny haha)

    This has got to be one of my most anticipated figures in a longggg time. I'll probably get two.

    Oh hell yes! I need him badly. Shame they took of the lightning strike coalition logo off him. But still, he looks great. And BIG too!!! I'll probably get 2 along with the Takara repaint. : )))

    Proportions are all messed up.
    Their is a huge hollow section at the bottom of the mouth and neck.
    Tail is incredibly short.

    However, it is a grimlock figure and is worth buying.

    Haha, damn. I'm getting this guy but he has a pretty fat, huge looking tail. I suppose that's where Grimlock stores all of his fat for winter hybernation? :lol

    he's looking very bland. i will definitely wait for a takara version. they also need to have an on/off feature for the light, not push to light up. seriously hasbro, get it together.

    also, why do you think it's highly unlikely for them to release more dinobots?
