Takara Tomy's Hisashi Yuki has tweeted a trio of images of their soon to be released Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-33 Final Battle Megatron and AM-34 Jet Vehicon General. Megatron features a repainted right arm to resemble his appearance from the last few episodes of Transformers Prime Season 2. He acquired the arm from the tomb of previous Prime and had it attached so he could wield the Forge of Solus Prime. He also comes packed with the Dark Calibur arms Microns repainted as the Dark Star Saber. Jet Vehicon General comes redecoed in silver as seen in the season finale of Season 2. Both are scheduled to released on February 23rd. Images mirrored below.

That is a fine paint job on Megatron.

That'll do, Takara... That'll do.

Nope.....

already bought one of the Generals from Ebay, but didn't **** realize that it's not out til the end of the month, at the time of purchase

Shoot, if I had known he was coming with the Dark Saber I wouldn't have ordered the Dark Calibur Saber the other day

But I don't think anyone would object to Megatron have TWO giant evil swords!

Jet Vehicon General

Don't think the Autobots would be cool with that...

On a side note, the only thing I have to gripe on is that the Jet Vehicon General's head still isn't painted black like it should be.

Both very nice releases.

Hmmm... nah, better not. Damn good, though. Here's hoping we get something similar should Megatron be released in Beast Hunters.

I hate Megatron's Prime hand fingers. They should be black or reddish like the rest of his gauntlet, not gray like his other hand.

Jet General looks great. Glad I'm getting two.

getting one of the Jet Vehicon Generals, but gonna pass on another Megatron. I love the paintjob, except for the Prime arm. If he had 2 normal arms in that color scheme, I'd be all over it though.

Usually I'm not too bothered bout differences between hasbro and Tamara versions, actually preferring hasbro schemes due to Takara's overuse of chrome, but I must admit that these two paint jobs are excellent. I have a poweriser Meg's and he already looked bland, this guy puts him to shame. Tho I can't waste money buying the same figure... I don't have a vehicon yet... Yet...

There's the Megatron I've been wanting since the start of PRIME! It's a damn shame about the Prime arm though. Guess it won't be too hard to paint that little bit, and if I mess it up I'll use the RiD for a spare. Also handy that that arm will be mostly covered by his cannon.

yeah it's rather lazy of them just to go with a repaint of the same arm for Megs rather than a new mold

are you sure that that's the right date pal? coz the blurb on the Ebay sellers page that I bought the General from just says end of February. but i'll prob still have to wait another fecking 10 days after that, for it to arrive, if it's coming from Hong Kong.

also.....it says Vehicon General B! is there an A & C by any chance? plus I think the AM alt mode is some kind of lizard.

The katakana on the box read "Jet Vehicon General", no roman letters. His Micron however, does have one. It's an iguana called Igu S, the "S" means "silver". The regular Car Vehicon has a boar Micron called Noji, and is basically Igu turned around with a new main piece.

He probably had multiple auctions of the same thing going at once. i.e. Auction A, Auction B, Auction C.

plus I hope I don't have to wait too long for the fecking thing to arrive, after the end of the month, coz i'd like to know what i'm getting other than just the photographs of it that we're being fed on here.

That's what it's called on the packaging, but I don't watch the Japanese dub, so...
