Some of these look really sweet. It looks like a pretty cool throwback to the good ol' days of G1 Targetmasters. I think I will be buying most of these :).

My Japanese is rustier than the Titanic so I'm going to have to go with the pictures, where it looks like probably all but Soundwave have 1 Minicon, that has 2 modes. Soundwave has the Laserbeak "minicon" as part of him anyway, so with his Micron Arms partner, that's 2 you'll get with him.

I will be a little surprised if Hasbro ever releases this mold again.

And, frankly, I'd be more disappointed if Skywarp made an appearance on the show and then didn't get the Voyager treatment that Starscream is getting.

But my guess is that Skywarp/Thundercracker never appear on the show and these just are just easy recolors that TakaraTomy is putting out there for the die-hard Seeker collectors. It looks like the head hasn't even been remolded. (If it has, the difference is subtle.) As someone who's collected more than one set of seekers and as someone who's very fond of the Transformers: Prime characterizations, I'm still having a hard time getting excited about these recolors.

I might feel differently if they do appear in the show and these TarakaTomy renditions turn out to be the only figures of them made. But I doubt that will turn out to be the case.

Considering that Skywarp is a retool, Hasbro MAY release him, I think. I'm having a hard time justifying not getting Terrorcon Cliffjumper. I love the idea of a zombie Cliff.

I'm anxious to see the specifics of which molds will be used for the Takara Arms Micron releases, especially Optimus and Bulkhead.


I have the Takara First Edition Bulkhead and hae the Takara First Edition Optimus on the way; I wonder if they'll be made redundant by the Arms Micron releases....

You can see that that silhouette is Powerizer Optimus and considering we know a new mold Bulkhead is on the way, I think it's safe to assume that it'll be Arms Micron Bulkhead.
