    Yes...

    US MP Grimlock - 2xLR44 I

    That means that it has two button batteries, and they were included with the toy.

    It is for the best you don't open them
    I was a purely MISB collector but moving to OZ forced me to open most of the stuff...anyway just checked my FoC Grimlock battery dead and starting to leak. Will have to check it again as i dont have fresh button cells atm

    So its the weapons that contain batteries?

    I ask as I have an MP grim, but I got it loose with no weapons years ago. Never saw any chamber on his hand for batteries?

    If it is inside the HAND... and not the weapon - please clarify as I remove all batteries.

    Um, batteries still leak inside or outside of anything with time. Even ones that have never been used. Some brands are worse than others.

    These were all clean when I put them in there like six months ago. they removed the battery bin from our shops and now there is nowhere to take them that is less than 10km away.
    And no 9for anyone who follows this thread *please don't throw them in the trash* - it's caustic/chemical waste and should not go in the bin. They have special bins in most shires (locations listed online by suburb/postcode on your local council website) or otherwise keep in a seperate container and take to the local dump once or twice a year (where they will have a special spot, not just chucking them in with everything). I keep my ones in an old coffee glass jar. I don't WANT to keep them, but yeah stupid things keep happening here like the battery bin going away.

    IKEA and Officeworks also accept certain battery types for recycling.

    Battery World is a chain so might be in other states... but that's where I drop off all my dead batteries (I put them in a double plastic bags and drop them off every few years, along with other batteries like camera, phone and computer).


    On topic, I'm not sure how I missed them, but tonight I found (button cell) batteries in one of my "Armada" Unicrons... and they had both leaked. Hopefully they didn't corrode the electronics too much.
