Impulse purchase. Will kids go for it? Collectors may pass. Why get these tiny things when you can have a REAL figure?

Micro Legends for 99 cents? This is the most cheapest Transformers toy I've ever seen. >:oP

Since it's Prime, all I see are more Arms Microns Hasbro's not giving us.

Woah, a deluxe Airachnid?! In the greater Livonia MI area, she's even long gone from the 5 Belows. (There might still be a Sgt. Kup in the Novi store...) Maybe I'm just lucky to live in an area where even the worst pegwarmers don't really overstay their welcome.

Isn't that the Cyberverse Airachnid? The name of the weapon gives it away. It would also make more sense as it is a toy that should be on pegs currently.

while i have no interest in either these or arms microns.. this would've been a GREAT way to sell arms micron figures.. and i'm sure that they'd sell a hell of a lot better than these.. not only are those things transformers to begin with, but they're also accessories to figures you already have.. but we know that hasbro isn't in the business of making great decisions.

Because a REAL figure is no longer a "real" figure now that Hasbro has shrunk the figures and inflated the prices. Not to mention the fact that there are some of us collectors that have very little in the way of "disposable" income and don't mind picking up little nick-knacks like these. Unfortunately I have no love for the TFP line so even at 99 cents I'll be passing on these things.

Well, this will make making custom Transformers Heroclix a LOT easier.

Yeah, it is kind of weird that they're using this for TF Prime when they gave up on the show and it's toys earlier this year...
