In addition to the images of Takara Tomy's Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-30 Rumble, AM-31 Frenzy, and AM-28 Leo Prime we now have images of AM-27 Ultra Magnus and AM-29 Shockwave courtesy of site sponsor Robotkingdom. It appears that Shockwave will indeed be a reuse of the Generations FOC Deluxe Shockwave with a new Arms Micron to replace his blaster attachment. Many had speculated FOC Shockwave was just being used a placeholder until the figure's full reveal, but apparently that is not the case. Ultra Magnus uses his Transformers Prime RID mold of course, with a new Arms Micron that transforms into a hammer. Images mirrored below.

That arms micron hammer is bad ass!

Meh, on Shockwave.

Hard to tell but it looks like Shockwave will gwt that G1 cartoon accurate purple we need. And a free mini-con to guard my parts box...Not bad for $29.99 (BBTS)

Huh, a Rhinoceros Beetle for Shockwave? I already have the FoC version coming my way soon, so he's skipped, despite my love for Mini-Cons. TakaraTomy, please release more AMW, onegai.

I wouldn't count on it. The lighting in these kinds of images are usually over-saturated, giving the colors a bright neon tint from how they really look.

The color looks more G1-accurate in the picture, but you know you can't always trust the color in these images.

I love SW's micron. It reminds me of the microns for Vehicon and Jet Vehicon.

Looks like shockwave has more color on him but I think it sucks they are using the same mold as FOC because when they showed him in the show he was a lot bulkier

You could be right. But Im gonna go off the fact that this image is missing the redish tint that you would get if you blasted the Hasbro version with excess light. This one seems to have a bluish tint instead. And if they go for the chrome like the other Takara FOC figures have, the mix of silver and purple paint would only lighten the purple. If not ill be sure to cancel my pre-order.

On the mini-con - I dont hate the little guys, but Im planning on using this as a classics Shockwave with the wings flipped down. Not as FOC/TF Prime or whatever Has/Tak intended this mold to be used for. No mini-cons needed for a classics shelf.

What will you use as his arm/hand cannon?

O right! The cannon itself is a separate piece.
