Arms Micron is a bust.

I'd preordered Skywarp, Ratchet, and Terrorcon Cliffjumper. Cliffjumper is the only one of those purchases I'm not regretting.

Skywarp I'm still kind of on the fence about. There's a novelty factor that makes him attractive; but that's about it. I'm sympathetic to previous commenters who've noted that the First Edition Starscream mold does not lend itself readily to the personalities of other Seekers.

Ratchet I'll be reselling. I got him because of the EKG detailing that's missing from the Hasbro figure. But now that it's perfectly clear that this detailing is done with decals, I'm sure Reprolabels will fill in the blanks on the Hasbro figure.

Are these arms microns originally a Japanese idea coz I don't understand why our Prime figures don't come packaged with them. Instead, we get lame LED flip-a-mabobs for weapons.

Yep, they're TakaraTomy's idea. Hasbro isn't the only one who can get creative you know?

I actually really like the Microns and the stickers they have. The figures they come with, not so much. At least not with those ugly ports all over them. Unless they're cheap and easy to get, I'm not worried about them.
