    There are clearly some typos/mistranslations on here, eg 'blest', and 'gross black' instead of 'gloss black'.

    So I assume that Grimlock's name is one too, and he's actually 'black knight grimlock'.

    Battle command optimus prime sounds interesting..

    Thanks! This is GREAT news! I already have that AD01 Optimus preordered so I'm gonna have to try and get these new ADs on this list. They all sound amazing compared to the Hasbro versions.

    Did I see a Deluxe Lockdown too? Hopes for some pictures of him too?

    Now I don't know which Grimlock to buy, Hasbro gold or Takara black?

    Oh Jeez Louise, for the first time I really, really wan to get all the Takara versions and I know that it's going to cost me twice as much than it would just popping down to TRU and getting them (which in the UK is already more expensive than they are in the US) :cry

    I wouldn't blame Hasbro - they are just trying to make toys that will sell by adding much-needed colour to them, even if they aren't movie accurate.

    I'd blame Bay and the movie people for making a bunch of grey characters that Hasbro knows are too bland to sell toys.

    Sounds like not all Japanese Dinobots are going to get movie accurate colorschemes - just metallic (perhaps darker) paint. :-/

    I love the colours Hasbro is using on the Dinobots, but I might pick up some of the Tarkara cars.

    The electronic prime sounds interesting, maybe some kind of more elaborate cyberverse kinda thing.
    Yay for confirmation of a deluxe lockdown finally.

    Takara is doing a Camo Hound?! OHH YISS. Is it too much to hope for that they'll include the "Oh daddy" decal, too? :p
