Too bad it won't last, though. The only other one gettign the metallic treatment that we know of is Blitzwing. The others are merely identical to their U.S. toys, save for the correctly colored insignia.

Though; Lockdown, Arcee, Grimlock and lugnut will be a little different from their U.S. versions. Lockdown is getting additional show-accurate paint apps, Arcee will be a different shade of pink, Lugnut a different shadeof violet, and Grimlock will have brighter colors overall.

not really, for first wave - prime, bee, ratchet, ironhide (bulkhead) are significantly different due to metallic paint work.
I saw ironhide personally couple weeks ago, quite diff compare to hasbro version.

Um, that's what I said. The metallic paint schemes won't last long until as the only other metallic figure beyond their wave will be Blitzwing. The others will either be identical to the the Hasbro versions, or some will have different non-metallic paint jobs.

Saw these guys today at the Hikone Toys'r'us while on vacation with my wife. Due to suitcase constraints I only picked up Bumblebee (or in my lineup, Goldbug) but I was really impressed with the look of the metallic paintjobs. I'd been underwhelmed by the photos but they really do look better in person.
