Artist Marcelo Matere, who works on multiple incarnations of the Transformers franchise, from comics to games to package art, has updated his Facebook page with a couple more pieces of original art used on some boxes you might be holding in hand! Check out below for his take on two Platinum Edition figures: Predaking and Grimlock (note, this last one was reversed on the final package).

So awesome!

So is the year of the horse Bruticus the same as the one at TRU with Grimlock included?

No silly, that's the original art used for that set, it's no new release. The "Year of the Horse" refers to Optimus Prime only.

The correct term is "mirrored", and you're right in that aspect.
