Seibertron.com is pleased to present four new galleries featuring Takara's exclusive campaign Arms Microns. Peaceman, Blowpipe, and Aimless are redecos of the Power Core Combiners Minicons Chopster, Groundspike, and Throttler meant to homage the G1 Targetmasters Peacemaker, Aimless, and Blowpipe. Vector Oracle, a redeco of Universe 2.0 Nightsick, on the other hand seems to be new character. Galleries can be found below.

Welcome to the game of collecting exclusives

It's a shame that my Aimless arrived without a pin keeping his leg together. Anyone have any ides where I can find a substitute?

It's not (just) the mold that entices them, it's the fact they're Japanese, and exclusive giveaways to boot. That's a surefire winner. Not me to me though, they're not different enough from their original release. They're just opaque instead of translucent.

also, many of the people complaining about the PCC 2pack Minicons were not against them in principle, but just unhappy that they were translucent, and not opaque. I've got the purple translucent drill guy stuck on Voyager Megs free arm, and it looks pretty nice with all the other purple light-piping going on there.

I'm sorry that yours isn't right. If you are comfortable with modifying the TFs, you can find a clearances core combiner somewhere and destroy the leg of another minicon to reuse the shaped pin from that one. Alternatively, a less accurate way would be to use a large paperclip and file down one side slightly to shape it like the pins.

If you were willing to wreck a regular (extra) minicon from a CC you'd be better off though. Just my 2 cents

It's a claw. He's Blowpipe in name only, for he's no gun. ;)
