2. The new release has a new box with a Marvel comic artwork cover

5. The other accessories from the normal release have been dropped

SGCollect member Sparkplug has posted over on their message board that he received confirmation the Masterpiece Grimlock will be released in March 2009 in Japan at a cost of 130,000 Yen. He then later posted that Alternity Megatron will be released in two colours (blue and silver) with the car based on the Nissan Fairlady Z.
Treat both as rumours at this stage, but no doubt more will follow in the coming weeks.

AcToys member æ— ç¿¼å¤©ä½¿ has posted a magazine scan of an image of a blacked out G1 Grimlock boxart with Masterpiece Series in Katakana (
マスターピース　シリーズ - Masuta-pi-su Shiri-zu)
The Allspark state that the text next to the toy is about Gundam, probably from an article next to the advert. Japanese Transformers expert Buster Hydra also states the following in The Allspark's discussion thread.
I'm almost certain this is true, I heard it months back from a Japanese dealer whose information I trust a lot.
We can always wait and see though.
