Takara Prime Arms Micron Breakdown, Knock Out, and Voyager Starscream pics

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Wooh pics, thanks seibertron.com! (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-images-of-takara-transformers-prime-arms-micron-am07-starscream-am12-breakdown-am13-knock-out/24948/)
Knock Out looks much better...apart from the frigging Minicon ports. Breakdown looks nice, but after Spundwave's stickers not being very sticky I'm inclined hold out for the Hasbro version - if we get one.

Quite happy with FE Screamer, so Voyager 'scream doesn't do much for me.

Breakdown must be mine. I barely notice any out of place ports which is awesome. And the hammer is among one of the more show accurate weapons as far as minicons go (which means a lot to me coz I'm definitely not digging the whole minicon gimmick. Or minicons at all for that matter.) I'm not going to hold out for Hasbro. I can't imagine what POS Mech Tech Hammer they're going to give him as his weapon.

As for knock out:

WHAT.
IS WITH.
THOSE PORTS?

Ugly as hell IMO. And rims STILL aren't painted? Pass.

SS - I'm with Grasshoppa. FE SS all the way.

The Breakdown mold is fantastic. It's just a shame that the finish on the final product will look nothing like those pictures.

I find Takara's promotional photos are pretty close to what the toys look like IRL. They don't heavily doctor them like Hasbro does, rather they rely more on good photography. :) Most of the doctoring is done to add more "realistic" effects, like glowing eyes or explosions etc. - but there's a text disclaimer down the bottom.

Aww, Knock-out isn't shiny red after all. I was hoping they'd give him a white face too... they didn't do that either.

That IS disappointing. I was almost planning to buy the JP version because of how the shiny deco suited the character... now I wont worry about it.
