Amazon Japan has updated their order pages for the May release Transformers Animated toys from Takara-Tomy with official photos. May will see the release of Grimlock, Snarl, Swoop and Blackout in Japan, and these new images give us a better look at the changes being made to each toy for its Japanese release. We have already had a very extensive comparison of Blackout with his (as yet unreleased) US version, but for those wondering how Takara-Tomy would handle the Dinobots, the principle differences to all three seem to be as follows:

For Grimlock, more vibrant red in the Beast mode, shiny gold finish on all his gold sections including the robot chest, and shiny silver finish on most of his dinosaur panels.
For Snarl, his clear orange parts are now a deeper shade of red, with a shiny finish on his gold sections and also on the silver crest around his dinosaur head and on his shoulders.
Swoop likewise has a shiny finish on his few gold parts, and also on his robot mode face, but he is the least changed of the three.

Check out our mirror of all the images by clicking on the title of this story, or alternatively click on the links above to visit Amazon.jp and check out the original images, which you can zoom in on for a better look at all those lovely details.
