The description that I read indicated that the gimmick will include some type of scanning feature.

Gah, something tells me that those of us desperately hoping for a G1 colored version of Megatron are in for a world of disappointment once these Classics are released in Japan. I have a feeling that these figures were licensed merely to fill some manufacturing space, especially since all 4 of them also happen to be characters from the movie. I'm starting to seriously doubt that they will be anything more than Hasbro's versions just with a TakTom sticker on the packages. I *really* hope I'm wrong.

i wish there'd be a cap-less Classics Megs, but it seems that the orange caps are part of the toy design, safety law or not...

Wonder which version of Arcee will be painted Black? I'd assume the Movie Deluxe, but you never know...

Some of them have slightly modified packaging for two packs. Such as Grimlock & Jetfire.
