Also from Alfes 2010, we have a images of the recently released Takara Tomy campaign Shining R.A. Microns. Four translucent reissues of the Ratchet's R.A., which can combine into the Rainbow Shield. Images mirrored below, more can be found by clicking here.

The pics of First Edition Shining Optimus Prime wielding the Shining R.A.-comprised Rainbow Shield seems rather appropriate.

R.A. is so versatile.

Slash the rainbow, taste the rainbow.

You just had to say that, didn't you I have Shining Optimus Prime, as I have a thing for translucent figures. But the Rainbow Shield may be overkill... Maybe I should think up names for the four little clones. Cyclone, Heat, Luna, Joker...

By the by, would the Rainbow Shield be a regular Combo Weapon, a Super Combo Weapon, or neither? It doesn't meet all of the requirements:

- 3 Microns
- 1 of each shape of crystal (circle, trapezoid, hexagon)
V same crystal color for Super Combo

You got that right, and it also looks like a ghostly Super Sentai/Power Rangers finisher.

I sort of disapprove, then again I'm the one with sextuplets of Micron molds, and was even tempted to get those Clear Animated Legends Class Seeker clones at full MSRP.

I'm surprise at you guys! Don't you know that atop of you buying them, these AMs want to know if you want a Fanta?!

I don't have the holes in my collection (or cash on hand) to get them all, but I got R.A. Yellow with Ironhide and Green with Gaia Unicron. I think Green was supposed to be free with Weaponizer Optimus but Aeon had him taped to Unicron's box and I wasn't about to correct them. The department store employees tend to be in the dark on the exclusives.

This puts me at 3 translucent RA's along with Shadow from a few months back. Before too long, my Autobots will all have matching weaponry! They look quite nice as the business end of an otherwise opaque Star Saber, too.
