Japanese new toys for April to June

The minicon battle packs are cool. But I prefer the minicons as decepticons
Also interesting the minicons got repainted from their individual releases to match the colour of their partners (eg Bali Thunder was Yellow in the Sideswipe battle/armour pack but is red in the double pack with sideswipe and bumblebee)
The extra paint is fantastic on everyone!
But I really love how much better Crazybolt looks. Just a shame it comes with what I am guessing is Ransack instead of Scorch Strike Hammer or better yet an actual toy of Slicedice.

Some official images of the Hyper Surge Optimus, which is the Japanese version of the big gimmick/electronic RID Power Surge Optimus... with more of the Optimus red/blue colours (the RID version is mostly white)

Does anyone know if there are sound effects (speech) or just lights. I prefer the Takara version, but if it's not going to be English then I would pass. My Japanese translation skills suck.

Pretty certain it was advertised as having the Japanese phrases in some magazine blurb somewhere.
