Courtesy of Takara Tomy's official Transformers Prime Arms Micron page we finally have official images of thier AM-24 Silas Breakdown, AM-25 Nemesis Prime, and AM-26 Smokescreen. Check out the images mirrored below. All are repaints, but Smokescreen has received a new head mold, and each has a new Arms Micron weapon.

Additional updates include:
Lucky draw Arcee
November campaign Microns translucent blue B.2. and Gra
Gatling Bumblebee (aka AM version of Weaponizer BB)
Campaign Matrix Keychains
EZ-Collection Autobot and Decepticon Sets

Smokescreen looks awesome, as does his Micron. I never bought Knockout because I hate the paint job it got, but THIS I WANT.

[Depthcharge27]

These look awesome!! I def want!

[GuyIncognito]

Do we know if Hasbro is releasing Smokescreen in the U.S.? If not, I'm importing the AM version.

[Rhinox23]

Can anyone tell if Silas Breakdown has an eye patch? I can't see one, but the picture is too small. Either way, I've preordered him and am very excited to get him!

Smokescreen on the other hand... This remold simply does not work for him. While his vehicle mold looks pretty good (and so does his head mold), I really can't stand his robot mode. If Hasbro doesn't release a new mold version of him then I guess I just won't have a Smokescreen in my TFP collection.

I was trying to collect every show character (and a few others because TFP Rumble seems awesome) but I gave up on that after seeing how crappy Airachnid is. Oh well, I can still get all of the good show characters!

Nothing of this interests me, except that last picture.
Anyone know what size that matrix on a chain is? I'm suspecting it's a red duplicate of MP-10's matrix.

[PrymeStriker]

I'm convinced Smokescreen has a new head, but it doesn't fit without his wings and proper arms.

Do we know if Hasbro is releasing Smokescreen in the U.S.? If not, I'm importing the AM version.

We're getting a Cyberverse figure, and they teased and hinted at us with a Deluxe Smokescreen. Hoping for a new mold.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Smokescreen I'm considering, if only for the Micron. It's good to see new names:

- Maki, from カマキリ kamakiri, or mantis.
- Giza, from ノコギリザメ Nokogiri-zame, or sawshark
- S.2, who steals B.2's naming gimmick.

And MORE CLEAR MICRONS!

[Hypershock]

Is it just me, or does Smokescreen's micron look like Devcon?

[chuckdawg1999]

Three thoughts on this:

1) as always the best part about these figures are the microns.
2) smokescreen looks nothing like his animation model and I'm afraid to see how much of that detail is stickers.
3) that sword for nemesis prime, my God, that sword.

still disappointed with smokescreen but if this mold is brought to the states i will buy it. i still really hope for a new mold but i doubt we will get one.

[Doubledealer93]

sorry double post.

[Mindmaster]

Not quite sure if I like the way Breakdown's new Micron looks...

Smokescreen, as usual, is a "meh".

Apathy has taken over my views for the rest of it.

[IronhidesGhost]

That does look like a slightly retooled head on Smokescreen. No? The helmet doesn't appear to have the exaggerated side crests, or does the paint job just make them look less pronounced?

[chuckdawg1999]

still disappointed with smokescreen but if this mold is brought to the states i will buy it. i still really hope for a new mold but i doubt we will get one.

Well the Cyberverse figure will be new. I'm disappointed that his micron doesn't look like any weapon he's used thus far.

What is the name of the Matrix Saber-like weapon pictured beneath Pure Energon B.2, and which Microns all combine into it?

[dedcat]

oh look... more repaints.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

What is the name of the Matrix Saber-like weapon pictured beneath Pure Energon B.2, and which Microns all combine into it?

The "Pure Energon Super Star Saber". It's like the regular Super Star Saber, but consists of:

- Matrix
- Shining R.A.
- Pure Energon O.P. (upcoming release, or Shining O.P.?)
- Pure Energon B.2

Nothing special, O.P. and B.2 simply attach to the sides.

The weapon shown next to it is the Solar Ion Arrow, consisting of:

- Hellflame Gul
- Terrorcon Zori
- Shining Gra B

All have the Ion Energon Crystal, exclusive to AEON stores. Yes, pun intended.

Those are the microns that come with the Japanese Weaponizer Prime. The only one I recognize is a retool of Ratchets Micron with clear plastic.

[Sabrblade]

- Pure Energon O.P. (upcoming release, or Shining O.P.?)

Yeah, Shining O.P., which BBTS has a bunch of.

Yeah, Shining O.P., which BBTS has a bunch of.

How much do you wanna bet it was because of Arms Master Optimus?

[gothsaurus]

Aw. That mantis is kinda awesome. I can't justify buying ANOTHER of that mold just for that mantis though. Maybe they'll issue it in green as a capsule micron. Crossing my fingers.

[Slashercon]

LOGICALLY, with Smokescreen's appearance in the show and Prowl's supposed appearance in the upcoming Jagex game, you would think they would create an entirely new mold just for them. But nope, this is Hasbro and Takara, where logic is tossed out of the window. Repaint from Knockout, WHO LOOKS NOTHING LIKE SMOKESCREEN!! What are the odds. Honestly the cyberverse figures are more accurate than what's in the main line, AND THEY'RE SMALLER!! (Ironhide, Megatron, Dreadwing, Smokescreen as prime examples.) And we're not even getting Breakdown over in other countries, let alone in the states. Heck, we don't even get his repaint of Swerve!! Instead we get Kup, but not Ironhide. (Wow, this turned into a rant). ANYWAY, I 'm just STRUGGLING to fathom how certain figures aren't even the right color/mold. (Black Breakdown does not equal dark blue Breakdown)

[griftimus prime]

all repaints. booooooooo

[Megatron Wolf]

Knock Out looks like crap but Smokcreen looks pretty good, sometimes all you need is a bit of paint and a slight remold to make a figure good. To bad the figure is small as hell, seen knock out in the store the other day and was appalled at how small it is, little over a year ago that would've been classified as a scout class figure. But that keychain & Arcee are awesome, why the hell cant hasbro do that stuff? No when ever they do something its either a figure thats mass produced elsewhere or so easy to get that theres really no point.
