TakaraTomy have updated their Transformers website with new official images of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from the TF: Prime Arms Micron line. These are the same RID molds that we are currently getting domestically, but newly molded Micron ports and of course the new Arms Microns themselves.

They have also announced two new campaign Microns, Vector Oracle and Firebolt. Vector Oracle is a limited (4000 units) translucent green version of Nightstick that will given away at Toys"R"Us locations in Japan for customers who spend 3000 Yen on Transformers products starting February 25th. Firebolt is a G1-ish redeco of PCC Pinpoint that can be acquired by pre-ordering TF: Prime Arms Micron Optimus Prime.

Lastly, the special TF: Prime character videos have been added for TF: Prime Arcee and Starscream.

I am appalled at how much I want Vector Oracle. The others look nice too.

Not sure how I feel about the Arms Microns not being silver like in the show, plain silver Microns would look kinda boring, so I guess it's alright, kinda disappointed that they didn't give Optimus any red on his chest and forearms though, other than the shiny-ish, dark-ish red plastic they gave him, he's exactly the same as Hasbro's Optimus, as far as I can tell.

Looking for:
Actionmaster Prime's Armored Convoy, just the cab and trailer with it's smokestacks, add in anything else if you want <=D.
ROTF Skystalker's right wing piece (Left axe)and Star Convoy(Encore).

The green nightstick is cool, but I dont have any matching green figures to give him too.

As far as the PCC mold, kind of lame. Remember Mastershooter Creations targetmasters are coming. Takara, burn the mini-con molds and move on...

Just wanting those minicons that Prime and BB have. But I'll wait for the (hopefully) Hasbro release. Are there pics of the bot modes anywhere that I may have missed?

*edit*
Nevermind, I found them.

It would have been great if Takomy would have shot for better paint apps especially Prime, but oh well. :VEHI:

It's very annoying how much I want Firebolt knowing I'll never own him.

I was really looking forward to getting some of Takara's PRIME figures but seeing that they're covered in horrible growths/Micron ports has soured them to me slightly.
