Was checking out Takara's site today and looking at the picture, Grapple is exceptionally orange in robot mode.... It's a shame about the TTmall exclusive shenanigans, but the Transformers section in stores has been shrinking and shrinking. Almost to the point where some stores that used to carry Transformers don't anymore.
Zoids get more advertising and shelf space here than Transformers do.

Incidentally, Takara have kept the name earth rise, which while to the average Japanese fan makes sense if you use Japanese phonetics to pronounce it, it turns into the unfortunate "ArseRise."

Americans wont get the joke though

Also, Optimus is cleverly called

"Optimus Prime with Trailer"

Catchy
