Courtesy of the Tagoal Blog we have an extensive gallery of the Transformers Prime Arms Micron capsule toys wave one. This wave consist of the following:

Optimus Prime Blaster
Bumblebee Sword
Gob (Cobra, Black & Pink)
Zad (Lizard, Black & Pink)

This one comes from a creative 2Chan post, not sure if it's intended.

Zob and Gad could have used some paint or something, but they do look pretty cool. I'm even coming around to the idea of the BB one, and Optimus looks ok too.

Wonder if they're shipping yet. These guys are neat.

I don't know about any of the other guys, lord knows what those salamander thingies are supposed to be, but damn, that Shockwave looks awesome.

I liked them to begin with (well, except the bright pink decos), but these pictures make me kind of want them... Damn you Hasbro, bring these here!

Scrolling through the pics I was about ready to write this lot off.

Then I hit the 2Chan combination. I'm very tempted.

gun prime looks so much better than the RID thing we got with optimus. the animal microns look pretty good to. the weakest link seems to be bumblebee. if only he used swords in the show those might look more interesting

Didn't Hasbro already state that they were planning on bringing these to the states eventually? Maybe I have selective hearing though lol!

If they did, that'd be news to me, though I don't keep up on interviews and such. I'd be more than happy to be wrong on this matter, lol.

I hope you're right. I just picked up PRID Bulkhead and, GEEZ...I mean, how could Hasbro mess up "wrecking ball hand" so BADLY?

i guess i just don't understand the appeal for these.

neither the robot modes nor the weapon modes are all that great. and not only that, the look of them just doesn't fit in with the aesthetics of the figures they're being used for.

that being said. i do hope hasbro figures out a way to bring these over (that statement never made sense to me.. hasbro's a big company, it'd be super easy for them to say "we're bringing these over as a little set" anyways) because some people like them.. and they should be given a fair shake to get them.

but hasbro is in the business of making money, not making their fans happy. and if they don't care for these, and don't think they'll sell.. then hey, it's their fault for not listening to you guys.

Transforms from lizard with long tale:

to lizard with long dick:

(or lizard humping a stick)

I always at least kind of liked the Arms Micron idea, but now I REALLY want multiples of that snake, in a wide variety of colors. It's almost perfect as is to be the Cobra Breast for a custom Breastmaster Deathcobra, even better than the Headrobots Cobra.

Does "capsule" mean these guys come unassembled, possibly still on parts trees? If so, casting kit and green dye, here I come!

Of course I still have to actually make that Deathcobra to attach it to someday...

Cannot unsee! :lol:

Really, this made me laugh so hard... The toy might be worth buying just to do that! But really, all these are pretty weak. The Prime blaster and snake staff are decent, there rest are just a turd transforming into another turd. They seem like random plastic toy animals... especially the long d*ck lizard and the snake.

no-one seems to be telling. the way Prime and Bee are painted, I'd suspect not, but we can hope. Kinda looking forward to putting them together.

I've been trying to figure out how to turn them into this ... and finally realized that the only way you can do this is by disassembling and flipping around a few pieces on the Decepticon Microns, which I'm not going to do because of the fragility of the Arms Micron Microns.

Seibertron.com galleries will be posted in a little bit.
