Weapon: Gattling Gun

Thanks to the Autobase Aichi facebook page we have some in-hand images of Takara Tomy's Transformers Prime Toys"R"Us Japan Exclusive Battle Shield Optimus Prime. This figure is a redeco of AM-01 with redecos of AMW-07 Pral, AMW-08 Sais, and AMW-09 Jayz that combine to form the Battle Shield. The set also features a cardboard trailer that's capable of hauling a Deluxe sized car and mounting the various Arms Microns.

Wait a tick... I thought Arms Micron Optimus Prime didn't come with a sword? Yet the Battle Shield release seems to have one. Perfect!

Speaking of swords:


Star Saber + Cosmotector (Skyboom Shield) = Awesomesauce

This Prime don't look bad though his forearms are still transparent they look way better than that blue crap! Now I must hold fast for the release of Arms Master OP and decide between the 2 and I hope it's not just Weaponizer Prime with microns.

If I did get this Prime I'm definitely trading the shield microns for better microns IMO!

Prepare yourself for disappointment.

"It is as speculated a Takara-Tomy release of Weaponizer Optimus Prime, with some modifications to the mold "

Okay after looking at the video review of said OP I can say without doubt "I'm sold" on this. The pics just were not enough for me to decide on getting at least 1 OP from the Prime/AM line. The only minor flaws IMO are the translucent parts, I feel they could have gone a bit darker and the possible stress marks shown in the video. No offence to the reviewer but I hope it was just his misfortune and not the world like AM-Breakdown and the mark on his chest...'nuff said!
