Takara Tomy has updated with new official images of Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-17 Swerve and AM-18 Airachnid with their respective Arms Microns. Images mirrored below.

Thank Goodness Swerve is terrible and his Micron is poorly designed.



Wait, what's that? Swerve is awesome and so is his Micron? Darn. There goes my money.

And can I just buy those gold stickers on Airachnid's knees? Like, I don't want any of that except the stickers.

Airachind looks good and Swerve is very intimidating looking.

Not feeling the love for Swerve. His head keeps reminding me of DOTM Leadfoot. Not crazy about his arms micron either; always preferred the 'Con ones with their animal forms than the humanoid Autobot microns. IMO, animal microns can still look decent even with the limited articulation of these basic model kits, but the humanoid ones look too stiff.

As for Airachnid, not even an arms micron and stickers can save this mold. That said, I do like her arms micron. Not putting down any cash on the main figure just to get the micron, though. These Takara versions aren't exactly cheap.

Someone wake me up when Breakdown's Silas version pops up.

I may be giving Swerve's Arms Micron to Knockout .

Airachnid definitely looks better through the power of stickers. I'm still hoping for a new mold though.

Swerve! Y U SO SUCK?!

He's an unfortunate redeco/remold. That mold will ALWAYS belong to Breakdown. You can tell it's Breakdown with a new head, whereas some redos have pwned the mold. Not so with this poor guy.

It's a shame, really, because the mold itself is awesome, just not in those colors and his Micron KICKS ASS.

All of it. Not just a little bit of it, but every danged inch of it.

Airachnid...eh...Hasbro did a better job, and her Micron is just unwieldy...

[Autobot Genocide]

Still not a fan of the Airachnid mold but just those four little stickers help a lot especially on her face and i like the spider micron .

Swerve again another repaint that i just don't get but his micron is cool looking also more like the g1 target masters.

[Doubledealer93]

am i the only one who thinks his micron looks like the auto axe from fallout 3 the Pitt?
i think both look terrible.

[Sabrblade]

Swerve looks just as I expected him to, so no really issues there.

Not even TakaraTomy can save the Airachnid mold.

Swerve.

He's like the granny-undies of the TF universe.
