Considering they've just recently been released I doubt there'd be knockofs doing the rounds.

BBTS has cases of the Arms Microns for sale if you wan them though:

Just remember they are model kits, they come in sprues, and you need to put them together yourself, and apply some stickers.

Alternatively, you could hit ebay to find old Weapon Minicons to use.

If you want the Arms Microns that come with the larger figures however, you're out of luck. The BBTS listing is for four different Microns, namely Gob, Zad, Optimus Prime Blaster and Bumblebee Sword.

There are however campaign/promo Arms Microns, that are fairly easy to find on eBay. They are all repiants of PCC figures (with one exception!). So far there are seven in total;

Happy hunting..

Indeed, if you want targetmaster-esque minicons, the PCC ones are the way to go. Frankly, it's probably worth just picking up the PCC editions from ebay on the boards here and getting the 2-packs rather than buying the minicons individually. You're going to pay about 6$x_ + 7$ shipping US, it seems for the Arms Microns alone, while you'll pay around $12 shipped on average for the PCC Scout-Commanders.

The likes of Sledge and Icepick are great and good on their own, but their partners Throttler (the drill, who got a solid purple redeco for the AM line) and Chainclaw (a multi-missile rack that can be held like a pistol for good measure!) really seal the deal.

The Chopster mold (got a solid orange AM redeco) is another worthwhile pickup. The original version came with Smoulder, whose mold was used for the Hot Spot 5-pack, and the translucent blue redeco which came with Darkstream.

Sorry about the mini-rant, haha. The long and short of it is that I'm a big fan of the PCC line and basically all of the minicon molds from it. They work very well in both robot and weapon modes and a few of them even work in a very good armor mode (honorable mention goes to the Backwind mold).

But you're not much of a mini-con collector if you only own one variation of each mold... >:oP

It's sad that I like Smokescreen's minicon more than the bulk itself. =_=; Moreover, that's a LOT of Minicons.

You haven't seen half of it. I just sent a friend of mine an Excel list detailing every single repaint to date. Yes, he's opened a can of worms.

Hmmm... Guess I'll hold off on AM-01 Optimus to see how the Optimus Prime Blaster Micron looks.
