Site sponsor Robotkingdom dropped by with new in-hand images of Takara's Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-08 Terrorcon Cliffjumper and AM-09 Soundwave. The images include comparison shots with "First Edition" Cliffjumper and "Robots in Disguise" Soundwave. Check them out below:
These look awesome, can't wait til they arrive in my POL !
I notice Soundwave's antennae are slightly different on Takara's mold. I wonder why that is.
Terrorcon Cliff looks better each and every time I see it. Something about transluscent purple just gets my motor going and I think his Arms Micron ports actually make him look better in vehicle mode, and the same goes for Soundwave. On Cliff they look like the engine popping out of the hood like an oldschool muscle car and on the back, they look like some kind of nifty spoiler.
On Soundwave, I love how they made them into blasters on his wings. I also like how Takara colored the fins on the back of Soundwave blue instead of black like Hasbro's, that was one inconsistency that always bugged me about the RiD version.
Those Micron ports...*sighs* I won't cancel my preorder for the aerial Vehicon, because we don't know if we'll receive it in the states, but I'd rather have the Hasbro version, if possible.
C'mon Hasbro, make this happen. Those ports darn near ruin a figure.
Cant wait for my cliff to come in but I don't think I'm putting the black window stickers on they look like shit and it's not the micron ports killing the figures it's the stickers. I'd rather have shitty mechtech weapons and paint instead of armsmicrons and stickers I gotta give it to hasbro for not going that route. I can't lie I do like some of the arms micron figures but not enuf to pay $40 for a figure I own already
For the price it's going to cost to import this figure, it might be a better idea to order an FE Cliffjumper from Canada, and replace the head with the upcoming Dr. Wu Zombie Head.
Loving that Zombie cliff, possibly even more than the cancelled the FE one, got it on pre-order with Kapow, hopefully I'll be able to post in the hauls thread soon!
