Priced at 49.99 CDN$, it appears to come with French included on the box, meaning that its distribution will not be limited to the Anglophone areas! Expected shipping date is October 17, and can be found here.

This is a very interesting picture....you can't really tell from my picture, but I'm positive that the Optimus in the Evolution pack I spotted did NOT have the faceplate shown on TRU's Canadian listing. Odd.

I really wish they wouldn't cast those parts in clear. Would've been great to have the option to go either Movie-accurate grey or toy-accurate colors, but translucent looks terrible.
Galvatron reminds me of this guy:

"He's really showing us what a man with a cannon in his chest can do."

Is that really a new head sculpt? It does not appear to have the faceplate, which was first hinted at with an in hands image of these figures. This pic almost confirms that to me. And that means that the stock pic showing the faceplate is not correct.

And Bounti76 has confirmed that it did not have one.

No faceplate, unfortunately. Someone posted a bunch of pix on w2005.
Wish the "Classic" mold was decoed like Henkei, and EMOP like in the 5-pack.
The back of the box looks nice. With illustrations of MP-10 and the new movie body.

I can assure you the news staff member in question has good vision, the pictures were blurry, we have always been told and shown that it should have a faceplate. As the stock photo from the Canadian TRU also claims.

But as I said above, this appears to no longer be the case.

To be fair, we posted that same batch of images too, but I still managed to miss the lack of faceplate. Though I did I call it headsculpt instead.

In any case, I do apologise for the confusion, and encourage any further sightings to be notified in the Sightings section and forums - faceplate notwithstanding.

The set consists of Scorn, Slug, Strafe, Slog (oddly enough) and Grimlock (of course). This deco is as close as possible to the one seen in this summer's film, Age Of Extinction. The figures even include what looks to be a "mossy" paint application, to replicate the look the Dinobots had in the film.
Most of the paint apps consist of the aforementioned mossy look, with a few splashes of color thrown in here and there, with the majority of each figure being covered in a dip of shiny chrome, head to toe.
This is our first look at the figures themselves and in their packaging. A price and release date have not been set yet, but as soon as we find out, you will.
The images have been mirrored below:

Yes, but that was a sighting at Canadian retail. This was a sighting at U.S. retail.

It would be even better if they did leader Grimlock with deluxe Snarl and Slash like this in another set next year. Along with leader Grimlock with deluxe Scorn and Slash in the SDCC "G1" colors. All eight Dinobots in three different color schemes.
