I really really hate, how much accepted the arms micron concept was.
They don't appear in the show, the robot mode is ugly and the stickers are cheap.
Plus, because of them, the characters have those horrible holes all over.

On the contrary, Transformers Prime episodes in Japan added the Arms Micron Theater segment which includes these little guys getting into wacky shenanigans.

Then buy the Hasbro releases. I don't see why your complaining about that.

So far I've kept quiet about the AM figures just because I find them laughable at best but I have to admit that, were I to do some mixing with the figures from the sets that make up the Gravity Bow, I would actually not mind having that set. Otherwise, the whole concept is something I would pass on. I'll just tolerate (some of) the Hasbro figures for now.

Note to self: check for spelling errors more thoroughly: it's Gora II E, not Bora... Especially when the News Team starts quoting you. #-o

>:oP IMO Arms Microns are better as stand alone weapons and sometimes alt-modes. Looking at everything all lumped together they look like a hunka-hunka burnin' crap...'nuff said! :VEHI:

Agreed with those who think it looks like crap when combined into larger weapons. Just looks like a mess of garbage that REALLY diminish the figure itself. Even just one micron is already pushing it with how much they stick out like a sore thumb.

Not to mention that the dialogue of the episodes themselves sometimes give reference to them. Most commonly is the new phrase of "Arms Up!" spoken whenever one deploys their weapons.

And in the Shadowzone episode, when Starscream loses his arm and has Knock Out try to replace it, instead of Knock Out suggesting a new weapon like in the English version, the Japanese version has Medic Knock Out suggest that Starsream get a new Arms Micron. ;)

Fixed. I just accept that you have greater knowledge and interest in these things than I do, which is why I used your list.

Interestingly enough, I am intrigued by the Gravity Planet Blowgun more than the Advanced Star Saber. I guess the Advance Star Saber looks like a Big Stick that has a few items added to it.

That, and I am also starting to wonder if I am still into the Micron (Mini-Con) scene.

I already have Black-air-achnia's spider and Soundwave's scorpion.

When/if-ever I get the AWESOMAGE AMW 13 and 14, I'll be sure to sell the unopened kits for both of 'em. ;)

Very true. :lol: And I hope that child grows up to do something that involves giant robots. :D

Very nice! I am currently seeking the means to live in Japan, hoping to either get employment or an education. So seeing how I might tone down or halt my Transformers collecting, I should remember that if anything good comes out. :D
