    Default JP TFPrime toys to have Targetmasters (plus new Skywarp)

    Those already upset over the FE line being cut prematurely are going to LOVE this. It looks like the Takara PRID toys are coming out with awesome Targetmasters whereas we get a gun that can be held on its side to represent a club. Uh oh spaghettios!

    Conformation that FE Cliffjumper is also going to be available again as 'Zombie' Cliffjumper and not only comes with a Micron, but is also cheaper than the regular First Editions.

    I thought I read that the minicons would be capsule toys. I assumed they are just meant for certain figures not that they actually come with the figures.

    (copied posts to here)
    So does that mean each toy is packaged with a Targetmaster, or they will be extra items to chase up separately? I'd be guessing that they are being shown paired up instead of just revealing the different Targetmasters, that they do come packaged with them.
    If so, that is going to create a huge demand for the JP versions, and even bigger demand for just the weapons, as some of them look really good.

    I decided to check out HLJ, and it seems they've got their pre-orders up too. The interesting thing I noticed was the price on AM-07 Starscream of 4000yen. So it looks like we're getting a Voyager-sized version of him

    They actually look quite fun. Anyone able to translate the names?

    There aren't any names shown in the pics The katakana above each one just says "Arms Micron"

    Oh, damn. I'm sure we'll get names soon enough. Something has to cheer the Prime fans up

    Indeed, this makes the most sense to me. I'm assuming (hoping?) the Voyager toys will be rid of the clear plastic parts too.

    On that note, I've read on various sites rumours that

    a) The clear parts remain on the voyagers and

    b) That while they come with an additional Micron Targetmaster, the AM figures have less paint apps than the Western releases and have stickers applied in lieu of this.

    Unsure how to feel about that.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.
