As you know, Metroplex was released last week in Japan. Now, you can check out official pictures from Takara. Click here.
Also, noteworthy are three Universe Ultra figures, which will be released as exclusive repaints in Japan – Onslaught, Powerglide, and Silverbolt. Each image below offers a view of the Japanese repaint and the U.S. version. These figures are slated for release October 16th.
Onslaught features a greenish/blue shade that matches his G1 color more closely.
Powerglide features a red façade that fans are excited about.
And Silverbolt will have a red chest and offer a white fuselage in alt mode.

For me the only one that was worth it was Powerglide. The US release does nothing for me, and can languish on the shelves.

Yes. I also presume that these will come in the U.S. packaging like MP Starscream, US version because these three Ultras are being labeled as US version.

Indeed
I'd like a Targetmaster Cyclonus & Scourge 2 pack, personally.
It would suck if Encore ended.
