Site sponsor BigBadToyStore has listed a pre-order for a new Takara Transformers Arms Micron figure, AM-21 Arms Master Optimus Prime. Anonymous sources have informed us that this is Takara's version of Hasbro's Leader sized Weaponizer Optimus Prime that will come with a Arms Micron Matrix that can combine with other Arms Micron figures, though these details should be considered rumors until officially confirmed. The BBTS product description indicates this will be a limited edition and may include bonus Microns. It's priced at $119.99 and scheduled to arrive in October. Click here to visit the pre-order page.

This limited edition may include 5 extra micron arms figures. We are waiting for confirmation back from Japan on the microns - the site will be updated once we have received final info.

No image of the actual product, but here's a couple of images of Hasbro's Weaponizer Optimus Prime from BotCon:

I just am not digging this, with having first ediiton Prime locked in his box it is tempting to get a filler and have posed in a display box but Mehhhhh???? I have the two silver dual Prime rifles from Dr. Wu and would like to get them in action. Ohhh well have to wait for the Clear Version First Edition. Overkill Yes........warranted YES...need more TF's LOL. I can't wait for MasterMind Creations Cyclops anyone know what's up with the delay?

Makes sense for it to be the Weaponizer, but 5 Microns? That's a bit much.

So for the weaponizer Prime... are those just shoulder accessories, like the USA mechtech, or are there microns involved? Anybody have an idea? A bit out of the loop.

It's a whole backpack. It's the gimmick, here's a review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1dIRGI_d7w

Thanks for that! Nice, thorough review. Cheers!

I don't want this figure (if it is indeed the Weaponizer figure) but the lure of Microns has pre-ordered it for me. Curse my weakness!

[gothsaurus]

Gads. I do hope it's not the weaponizer one. You can tell it's definitely more of a kids-toy version of Prime. Mind you, I DO want the minicons.

the price for this thing is a joke

[gothsaurus]

Yeah, if you break it down at $15 a micron (total $75) and $45 for Prime, it's a little easier to stomach. But still. Friggin' ouch!
