Pictures are continuing to be posted by Alfes 2010. This go around we get a good look at the Arms Micron Cliffjumper. Comparisons give us a good look at the "naked" pre-sticker mode along with the applied decals. Check him out and his partner below. Also posted are some in hand pics of Arms Micron Pinpointer and fellow microns partnered with some recent United figures. Check out some images below and click any picture to view the full gallery.

Arms Micron Pinpointer

Grey and black Targetmaster Microns are where it's at. Also Vector Oracle is sexy. Dunno why but I love it. I couldn't care about the rest. I am beyond surprised that Hasbro is nailing paint and colors on the Prime stuff. It's a nice break for the wallet and an opportunity to throw more money at domestic releases for a while.

The stickers are awful. The micron does not compensate.

Absolutely right. It has never been called Slugslinger. I got reprolabels in the mail today for my G1 Slugslinger and just had it on the brain. Thanks for the heads up.

The stickers (or lack of paint) and the Micron ports are really hurting these figures which are already inferior to the First Editions. I just don't get it.

I don't understand the paint issues with Takara. If they could make the color on the ports all one color for CJ why the hell couldn't they do the same for Ratchet? Yeah if your a pro and you do your own paint mods that's all good but I'm not. C'mon Takara this laziness crap is BS!!

Arcee and Vehicon are the only exceptions to this, with their RID toys being improvements over their FE toys.

I can't speak for the Vehicon, as I don't have a deluxe version (i do have a nice troop of cyberverse Vehicons for background minions!). But the Arcee is a split decision. My opinion is they are about even. I like RID Arcee because she is little smaller, better head, cleaner arms and I dig her rifle, but the FE seems more complex, higher quality (at least with the ones I got) and doesn't have the wings.
