No? It's Weaponizer Prime plus minicons.

Even worse.

More tolerable, I'd say.

I'd like to note that the Matrix is no Mini-Con at all. Rather it's just an object the R.A. Micron can combine with into the Matrix Saber

And that's certainly a surprise. You know, I'm starting to wonder why Mini-Cons make things more appealing for me...

Optimus Prime : Ratchet, I have an odd burning sensation when I lubricate.

Ratchet : Let me see ... HOLY PRIMUS! That's the worst case of Enlarged Matrix I've ever seen! :shock:

just realised that AM-21 is the one that's meant to come with 5 Microns. If the Matrix doesn't count, does that mean we might get the sword, the shield (3 parts) and the gun?

Different release. AM-21 Arms Master Optimus comes with the Matrix and R.A., while the Shield Microns and O.P. A comes with the TRU Japan Exclusive Battle Shield Optimus, a repaint of the regular Voyager.

And somehow I want both now. Nothing beats oversized swords.

Kapow toys still has a listing for AM-21 saying it comes with 5 Exclusive Arms Microns. I realise the one on show at Toyko Toy Show was the other one, but, if this one doesn't come with those, it means it should come with another 3 or 4 Microns, although I'd not be surprised if the Matrix counts as one of those.

As JelZe GoldRabbit said, the Matrix doesn't appear to be a Micron itself. Going by the amount of clear plastic on it I'm guessing it's meant to be some kind of light-up unit to create Matrix powered versions of the various Micron weapons. Now we've seen it, it bears a striking similarity to the turtle Micron from the volume 2 listings (the one with the Megatron blaster and Bulkhead fist).

The BBTS listing also still says AM-21 comes with five Microns, but it'd be a bit cheap if the Matrix counts as one.

Even if a miracle happens and Hasbro brings Arms Microns to the rest of the world I'm not sure where this Matrix would fit into things.
