I get the homage and it's a great homage, but here's where I'm left wondering what the marketting depts of each were smoking.
Last I checked there was no Japanese release of the IDW comics, meaning that this is a figure that in terms of Japanese media and therefore the Japanese line, makes absolutely no sense.
Meanwhile, Hasbro is going all out with IDW releases and Senator Ratbat isn't getting a Hasbro release with the other IDW deluxes? What the hell????
Seems like this is a running trend. We got the Japanese exclusive character "Sky Shadow" (aka Black Shadow) whereas Japan did not, at least not yet.

Black Shadow did appear in the IDW comics (with his Generations bio reflecting that), while Senator Ratbat has yet to appear in any Manga. Better keep an eye on Transformers Allspark.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
