I'd like to share an objective description of the set and a subjective what's missing.

Content:

#1 Titan Class Metroplex triple changer
#1 Legend Class Scamper
#1 Scamper weapon
#2 Anti- matter projectors
#2 gray/black missiles
#2 shoulder missiles
#1 robotic crane/arm
#1 decal sheet
#1 instruction manual (black and white in Japanese)

Cost: SRP Y 14900 +

thanks to amiami.

What to expect:

Box is bigger, wider and the right arm is assembled already

Difference from USA version,SDCC and the HK version? Paint apps (G1 figure color pattern), minifigures (not included), promo items (got a Metroplex head clip/strap).

HK and SDCC besides box art(and Japanese characters) have chrome hips. same chromed face plate

Reports have it that there are no voice clips for UK version (regular non painted face plate)

No batteries included (need confirmation if Hasbro version had it included)

Tomy has a total of 75 decals as opposed to standard release of 100 printed on a metallic sheet

Scamper Autobot sigil slightly changed.

Understandable what was not included( but it would have been more awesome if included)

No Sixgun and Slammer

Thanks to Jackstraw ad Mkall for pointing the use of the clawed robotic arm.

Availability: Now and worth every penny (I'm now broke :HEADHURTS: )

Good stuff, great pics fenrir72! I'm 99% sure that none of them come with batteries. I was surprised to find out that the HK version does not have the metallic stickers that the SDCC version has.

I'd like to correct that there are 75 numbered sticker groups (i.e. 6 light-decals are all under one number). I just did a count and there's 96 separate decals. I'm not sure if it's done similarly on the US version.

That's correct Mkall. My bad. The "arrow" decal for the runway counts around 20+ under 1 decal set number so still...............2 hours worth of decal setting :BOOM:

Oh man, I'd forgotten those. Man that was painful.
