Yeah, yeah. I know. I'm on mobile (obviously) so limited resorces. I cropped it and cleaned it up, but that version didn't work. This was the only one that did.

I personally am a fan of them doing minicons that become weapons. I will buy both since they make nice weapons

Yes, the functionality helps in giving you a reason to buy them >:oP

I am a fan of that as well. And if it's 5 mm ports then we can give them to anyone. Like the arms microns:

Yeah the exclusivity of the current ones limits their use, these are much better.

That is a mean looking Blades there!

Just Won CotT Optimus and Grimlock on ebay for very good prices and they should be coming on Saturday right after Steeljaw. Really excited to get these guys! All I have left to do is get Jazz and I'll be caught up and ready for all the cons to come out. And I will get him when I get Thundercracker sometime next month.

BTW: Anyone reorder super Bee from robotkingdom and receive a shipping notification yet?

As he should be. Blades is a psychopath, after all.

I was always bemused that so many accessories specifically stated to be for Prime Bulkhead do not actually fit him - the 3rd party hammer's handle was to thick for him to have it in his hand and the Bulkfists posts were to large to got in either the 1st edition or the RID-12's Bulkheads hands without having to force them in so tightly you risk snapping the bulkfist's posts to get them out again (the only way they do fit is from the underside a little bit better). bit odd that was I always thought.

I wouldn't mind to see some more repaints of the main-character Microns though that would be nice to see some time... there is quite a few options there such as Thundercracker & Skywarp, Dark blue Bulkhead, Pink Arcee or the colours of the Botcon girls, Opaque Blue Wheeljack, Opaque Blue Bumblebee blades, Black Megatron (or even purple or silver), Black or Green Ratchet, also a Black Optimus would be pretty terrific to have too.

The thing I like about the Arms Microns in general both the kits and the pre-assembled ones is that they often prove to have a use years after the original intended use (this applies to all sorts of 5mm related items though I supposed).

But yes the Arms Microns are neat.

The fist works on first edition bulkhead quite well but my problem with it is that it doesnt seem large enough for him. It just looks like his fist and doesnt have the same effect as putting it on a deluxe.

Overload would look a lot more nice if he had some details. Also, what if Overload is just some random toy character based from a generic Transformer from the show. It's been plenty of times where toys have been based on a minor, background character. And I believe these are one of those times. But I could be wrong. :-?

Probably the case here.

Shame, considering how many preexisting Decepticons there are in the show and how few of them actually have toys.

They are working on it though. We are getting several new cons coming out in several size classes, so it's balancing out some

That is true. Really excited about the second wave of Cons, even the out of nowhere Quillfire (who reminds me pleasantly of Blot). I do wish they'd make a 3-step Underbite or a Warrior Clampdown to properly fill out Steeljaw's Pack.

I think they actually look quite good and fit well on the Weaponizer Optimus Prime (the blue ones I mean), I would like to have those fists in a couple of other colours though like dark grey for example or even red. the former to suit other colours better the latter to increase the resemblance to boxing gloves.

I'll have to try some of these add ons on RID-15 toys - I've yet to do the likes of testing the Bumblebee blade Micron on RID-15 Bumblebee for example - let alone trying the Wheeljack one with MP Wheeljack.

So you guys got me a thinking and that's usually dangerous. So with all the talk about Bulkhead and some sweet arms micron fists I was thinking about a 3rd party add on I have. I've posted several pics of these elsewhere, but one more won't hurt... will it?

And then this happened....

Bulk's one of my favorite characters/figures so I'm always up for a little play time.

OK, That is awesome. Bulk was my favorite TF Prime character and that right there is pretty darn cool.

Not sure where best to put this, but did y'all see this commercial yet? (I'm hoping a better version will be available on YouTube eventually. This looks to be recorded on a phone...)

[Edit] Found the better video...
