I'd be willing to bet that is the Micron we're least likely to see get an independent release, since it appears Takara is already double-dipping it by including it with AM-15 Darkness Megatron:

Yeah, but that version of Gora is a different version. Look at how it's missing the sword blades that come with the Deluxe version.

even though a couple of the new ones look a bit vague, I totally want them all! AM 01-03 looks like a brilliant sword! 07 looks particularly good in all modes. Hope we see the rest of the partner ones in the line especially Optimus's one (in purple! or even grey) and Meg's ape-cannon.

Huh, so it is; furthermore, I don't see the connectors for them, either.

It seems kind of insane that Takara would bother doing a retool; if it turns out this is a whole new version of Gora I will conclude that PCP has become popular at corporate parties in Japan, especially since it's already been demonstrated the presently released Gora works better with the Voyager mold than the Deluxe mold it ships with....

An interesting mix of Microns. I hope we see all of the partner Microns on their own too. The combining ones look a little naff individually, as does the "shield". I mean what the hell is the first one?!? A diseased turtle? I think it's cool how the combined sword looks like the sword Grimlock has in Fall of Cybertron.

looking at the shield components, I think you could make a pretty decent big sword out of them too. even if not, well, I've plenty of bots who could rock a big shield. Might have to get a few of each of those things to stage some State Games with WFC/FOC toys. "When Optimus Prime throws his mighty shield!"

01 goes from a crab to a crossbow, and 09 is part lance, part spear, and part drill. Also, the bat and gorilla come with Megatron.

I have all of these Microns preordered along with a couple blind packs. They are pretty cool little figures I think. Megatron isn't doing it for me. I guess I'll be sticking it out with the Hasbro release. The jet vehicon is alright looking. I'll save further judgment for when we have better pictures.

Most of these are hit and miss and the ones I do like will likely stay in their respective weapon mode...FOREVER! :DEVIL:

These all look incredible! I especially like the red sword minicon and the three beast minicons that turn into the buster sword.

And I'm still a fan of Soundwave's minicon. I really hope these all come stateside at some point!
