Japan based toy blogger Alfes 2010 has posted in-hand images of Takara Tomy's exclusive Transformers Prime Arms Micron Orion Pax. The figure is a slight repaint of the First Edition Deluxe Optimus Prime mold featuring a more washed out color scheme and stickers to make him a Decepticon. The figure also comes with a gold chromed version of the R.A. Arms Micron. We've mirrored some of this images below, his full galleries can be found at the following links:

I am starting to like the Deluxe over the Voyager

I'm intrigued that this toy includes the regular weapon instead of just replacing it with a Micron.

Okay, so there's not much Orion about him and he's a con.
I think they should've stopped making Primes right after First Edition voyager.
Hope they repaint the weaponizer into Scourge.

I never cared for the open mouth on Optimus Prime in the movies or seeing it (as oppose to watching it since I don't care for the show) in the Prime series but why not have the same head sculpt with mouth on the figure as on the damn package...? Well for those that picked up those Dr.Wu up-grades will definitely have an improved Orion Pax. :VEHI:

Ok, why are R.A.'s instructions calling him "Silver Metal R.A."? :-?

Looks pretty decent, but I'm skipping him in favor of the Hasbro one. Besides, I'd be scared of the chrome on the little guy.

Could anyone put a mouthplate less head for the Creative Roundup?

Interesting to see what they done to his head.

Why would they not give him an open-mouth? Orion Pax never used his faceplate.

A good question. Is there an open-mouth head for this mold that we know of? Would it be that hard to sculpt one? Clearly not if a third party can make a dead ringer.

This is just such a lazy attemp, whats the point? You might as well get the retail version (which has better paint) and stick con' stickers on him.

But for the Japanese our version costs a fortune

Oh, the irony.

Since FE Deluxe Prime was never released over there to begin with...
