Arms Micron

[Philip Ayres]

One is loving the new Arms Microns and is glad some will be available individually.

I was trying to work out which of the Arms Microns were which and which were repaints..... Here with a little help from TF Wiki is everything I know and lots of nice images. Some of the names may be a tad dodgy due to slightly different translations being used by different sites but....

Arms Up Mission Game

[shadowynne]

very cool man thanks for taking time out to organize the links.

yeah i am really looking forward to these guys as well some of them look amazing and im liking the combination super weapon thing.

do you think there will be a western release? for some reason i just dont see them releasing in the USA/UK.

[Philip Ayres]

Glad someone else finds it useful. It was doing my head in trying to keep track of what was repainted where and what was new.

No, I can't see any of these getting a western release. The Prime toys here don't have the sockets.

I'm just hoping that the earlier Microns that haven't ended up in the boxes get an individual release. I need several of that B2 micron that BB has.

[glaug]

Thanks for the breakdown; personally I'm only interested in the guns.

[Jim]

Thanks for this. I did not know about the campaign exclusives until now, they look quite nice.

Still haven't got round to putting together my BB and Ratchet microns, hopefully this weekend.

[The Doctor]

I am waiting for the Legs Microns.

-Ralph

[Philip Ayres]

If you had Arms Microns and Legs Microns would you then have Energon combining Microns?

[glaug]

Thinking about it? I REALLY want the three-barrelled guy in some form to give to Generations Thunderwing!

[Philip Ayres]

[glaug]

Cheers for the direct link. Not sure I can justify a fiver a pop + postage for these guys though; I regret not preordering the box from hlj before they stopped.

EDIT: Now I feel silly, didn't realise the blindpacked ones were only Bumblebee/Prime/Zad/Gob.

[Philip Ayres]

Is it just me or is OP actually Micron Shockwave? Head, Chest, Colour, Alt Mode?

[primenova]

Why is this line mainly just targetmaster weapons for TFPrime line? do they work with other lines? [only seen images with them with tfp toys so don't know if anyones mixed them up]

[Philip Ayres]

Yes they do. 5mm posts and 5mm holes so most modern TF toys can hold & use them.

It's not just guns, there's swords & shurikens in there too. Some of them don't have robot modes but beast modes instead so are more Action Mastery.

Fantastic idea, I hope we see them in the west. This is what Hasbro should have been doing since day 1 with the minicons

[glaug]

Hmm. Since we have to pay Yankee postage anyway from BBTS, Robotkingdom seems like a better deal with their $3.99 Microns. Not used them before though.

[Philip Ayres]

I did for EZ Collection v2. Got the stuff, no CUTA action.

Not really doing much importing of Transformers at the moment, but I do have to say that some of these do look rather nice.

[Philip Ayres]

Give me a preorder NOW! Need multiples of Megatron!

[glaug]

Screw Megatron, I need multiple Hulk Hands sets!

[Philip Ayres]

Yeah but we need opposing left hands now!

[glaug]

Noooooooo I hadn't considered this!

[kayevcee]

If the arm forms the thumb he may be able to transform into either left or right!

[Jim]

When assembling a Micron it is wise to read the instructions through in advance, as certain steps may be irreversible.

*sob*

My poor, poor Zori...

[glaug]

...Dare we ask?

[Jim]

I didn't attach the legs to the lower base before attaching it to the main body. Those two pieces do not come apart again easily, and I broke the lower bit in two while forcing it. At least it's on the underside.

[Philip Ayres]

I'll bear that in mind when mine comes in the individual boxes
