This is basically a spit in the face for those who bought the Asian limited edition Grimlock (white box) as this has so much more for the money.

Agreed. I have no problem with HasTak "daring" to add new bonus features to subsequent versions of a toy. Why not? I think it's a pretty cool idea.

How would they make him a new brain? He's already has the transfer device on the regular version.
