Build Megatron's mighty Fusion Cannon, then put stickers on it, and then reenact your favourite King Kong scene!
These Arms Microns also come at a cost though, they are designed to resemble the characters weaponry in atl-mode and as such replace the weapons that come with the Hasbro releases, the figures themselves also feature new Mini-Con ports on the alt and bot-modes, these can be rather annoying to some.
Another difference are the paint-apps, or rather the lack thereof. Contrary to TakraTomys usual reputation amongst the fandom, these figures feature even less paint than the Hasbro releases and instead rely on stickers you have to apply yourself just like with G1 toys - from the 80s. Best or worst example which ever you prefer is Ratchet, who without stickers is just a mass of white plastic, some gray plastic and a teeny tiny bit of paint.
"Who says stickers are an obsolete technology?"
The galleries each feature a few images of the figures the way they look out of the box, and without their stickers applied.
"Photographer not included!"
Of special interest in this line is Skywarp, a repaint of the First Edition deluxe class Starscream. It's not the fact that the Mini-Con ports make him look even more different from Starscream, no it's the fact that he's as of yet a Japanese exclusive character and may not be released by Hasbro. We're also glad to report that even without stickers he looks rather excellent.
