Big flat stickers across Ratchet's entire grille and Cliffjumper's headlights in both modes. Wonder whether they're sitting over 3D details (especially on Cliff) or if they went and flattened out those sections of the molds when they added the Mini-con ports.

Ratchet's gained some extra red in front of his side-mirrors and has quite a few other changes. Megatron's got his purple calves back since the last version we saw, but his vehicle mode has almost no deco, painted or stickered. The fact that Bumblebee has lost the top half of his yellow waist detailing makes me think those bits are stickers on him, too.

Interesting stuff!

Does Optimus have a Shockwave minicon?

Animated Shockwave, no less. Compare the elongated head and the chest design. Weird.

And Megatron's cannon turns into Lugnut, which is hilarious and awesome.

I think that's just coincidence. It looks like all of the Microns are cyclopes.

That's no coincidence. At least not on Megatron's cannon.

I would like to agree, but I do not. It's a monoptic gorilla-bot in Megatron's signature secondary color of purple. It's gonna look like Lugnut.

Ratchet is pretty interesting. Not sure yet if the slight differences will be enough to warrant the import price, but I may just bite.

I see an ape, not Lugnut. I'm also not sure if that thing is his eye.

I don't see what else that thing at the top part of his face could be.

Also, it's not simply the cyclops... it's that "jaw" with the raised very-center section. That, to me, heavily resembles Lugnut.

And he's using a chromed-up version of United Lugnut's colors as opposed to, well, the colors Megatron's cannon actually is.
