There are exactly 0 black light (UV light) reactive paint apps on him. That is a sin for any Beast Wars repaint. At the very least the beast mode eyes should have been done in a black light reactive paint (I noted the eyes are red, but not that black light reactive glowy red).
Now that said, I'm still quite happy with the figure, but his eyes do not glow like Big Convoy's do (Beast Wars Neo's Big Convoy has glowing green eyes in beast mode).

Or mine isn't anyway. I was afraid of stressing his leg trying to get the shin cannons (yep, cannons, on his legs. Badaft.)to slide across, and this is the first of the figs I own to get the gatling tonfas to actually fit in his pegholes. my spinal slide joint was tight too. whoever engineered this mold waaaayyy back did an excellent job on the specs, and they've done a brilliant job in clean casting or something, because my first thought was "Did soemone reconstruct new molds for him?"
Or, maybe I'm losing it, and got the only lucky release... I also didn't notice the paint scuffs in my TFSS 1.0 figs, so I could just be lucky.

I styripped and subsequently lost the kibble to Nemesis Primal, but I don't think his eyes glowed either.

Got my Mammoth today. Still torn about the figure. Teh Chrome silver shiny matrix is aweesome. The alt mode is still a brick, and the bot mode is still encumbered by shell. But the figure is a cool repaint, and I have a hard time believing I'd let myself part with it... so we'll see.

It would have been even better if they bothered to paint them.
