Takara Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-12 Voyager Breakdown Images

No size comparisons? I would love to see how he stacks up to Bulkhead. The 1st Edition one.

Indeed. What would his weapon be?

Speaking of weapons, anybody know what his Micron's name, "Zamu", actually means? I know the Japanese word for rhino is sai, anything else?

a hammer(or is it a mace) like in the show would be my guess......and hope

He looks amazing.

I seriously hope he does get a European release.

The near-complete lack of any translucent plastic in his arms tells me that this mold was made without the light up gimmick that EVERY American Prime RID Voyager mold has, which further tells me that this was made especially by TakaraTomy on their own without Hasbro, further adding to the mystery as to whether or not Hasbro will release this figure domestically.

While I do like this mold, it just looks odd without the paint it deserves or sufficient stickers for that matter. I can't really be sure, but the quality of the plastic looks a little cheap. Regardless I don't want to break bank so come on Hasbro!

There are always a few oddballs that don't fit the line's gimmick.
Of course, there have also been a few major recurring characters that didn't get toys for whatever reasons...


Would there be a way to check if this was Takara-only? Like, only their names stamped on it or something?

I got this ordered right before BBTS sold out. I would have preferred paint apps to stickers, but I am good at decals so I can live with applying them if it means having this cool ass figure. I didn't want to take the chance that we don't get this figure in the U.S....What Up Wit-Dat??

Well for others hoping for a domestic release, hopefully they will say something at SDCC.

i swear by the spark of primus he better get a US release.

I have designed a show accurate hammer and shoulder cannon just waiting on my figure to get here so I can make last minute adjustments before I submit it to shapeways.

Call me a hysteric, panic monger, or conspiracy theorist, but I can almost taste a 1990 TF crash headed to the states. Japan and Europe continued to get new designs like Overlord, the Brainmasters and Breastforce while the US kept getting lower and lower quality crap and soon after nothing. Hasbro might be in the process of setting up a complete abandonment of the American market "for the foreseeable future" as they would say.

They have through gross incompetence and a complete lack of understanding of the market engineered a second crash of the brand. Just look at all the Bumblebees clogging the pegs.

Just a hunch. I hope to Primus I'm wrong.
