JP TFPrime toys to have Targetmasters (plus new Skywarp)

[Hursticon]

im tempted to buy that case of 300 and just resell to everyone here >_>

You'd get the business man, I'd damn grab a few! - Might be worth holding off until more is known though huh?

Did anyone else notice what's going on in the top right pic of liegeprime's RK link? All the Microns shown in this cell are the ones that come with the PRIDE toys. Further to this observation, what looks like Prime, Ratchet and Bee's Microns combine to form some kind of mega bayonet/blaster thing. Freakin' bad ass!!

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

And the Kanji slapped over each toy image says "Do not circulate"

Anyway... we previously saw the "Arms Micron" title being used for the store exclusive Mini-Cons (repaints of PCC Mini-Cons) that came out with the First Edition toys in Japan. Damn... I've been putting Aimless on my Classicsverse shelf... I guess this definitely makes him a TF Prime toy. :/

Undecided about whether I'll get these toys. Probably get Skywarp... definitely not going to get repeats of FE moulds (not worth it just to get a Mini-Con IMO). New moulds... I'll think about it.

HLJ is very unreliable, so I think I shall have to pre order all of these somewhere else (though I have missed ordering from my favourite supplier). Loving the idea of the extra Micron/Targetmaster compared with a stupid oversized weapon (Cliffjumper and Prime ..). May even break down and order the figures that I don't really want (like Bee, Prime, Cliffjumper and Voyager Starscream just to get the weapons)

Hopefully some final releases show up soon and hope the rumor of less paint apps not true.

Indeed. There's this too which shows an individual Optimus Prime blaster Micron for pre-order. Then, read this:

Takara is supplemetning their Transformers: Prime mainline with brand new Micron (Mini-Con) figures, each of which transforms into a weapon for the character! In addition, unique new Microns are being issued as capsule toys! Four styles are available in the first assortment, with the Autobot Microns transforming between robot mode and weapon mode, and the Decepticon Microns transforming from beasts to weapons!

So if this is to be believed, you need to buy the Takara PRIDE toys if you want their supplementary Micron eg. Soundwave's Scorponok partner but you won't be able to buy Scorponok separately as the capsule toys are 'unique'.

after watching peaugh's reviews I've preordered skywarp and the takara RID cliffjumper. Although I do hope Hasbro sees the potential in the capsule toys and releases them too.

It'd be really awesome if they did, just don't expect to see them in AU though.
I'm really digging these Microns; I too am thinking that going Takara is the better move... Funds permitting.
