Courtesy of a post on the Planet Iacon facebook page we have a new color images of Takara's upcoming Transformers Prime Arms Micron capsule toys wave 1. Image mirrored below.

• Optimus Prime Blaster
• Bumblebee Sword
• Gob (Cobra, Black & Pink)
• Zad (Lizard, Black & Pink)

Those are kinda Kitsch, but okay I suppose, you know for those lil' Capsule toys .

I'm glad I preordered them early. They look groovy.

Gonna get the others now and create a mini army of weaponformers.

I really like weapon-formers, but these aren't doing it for me.

I may cancel my preorder.

So I take it the bubblegum colored ones are chase figures?

Also is it safe to assume that these will be model kits like the AM-X ones?

Actually, I'd say the animal ones come in two colors, equal ratio. So no chase pieces. I've yet to see chase pieces advertised on a Capsule Toy dispenser. Also, I have a feeling they need assembling, but the parts are already off their sprues.

Do you know Kinder Surprise eggs? Same principle.

Does anyone know where one can buy these?

got mine on preorder from Captured Prey
thought this would be a cost effective way to upgrade my FE/PRiD figs

Cool, but starting to feel that this is getting a little ridiculous with how many of these there will be.

The only ridiculous thing is that Hasbro shows no sign of releasing them themselves.

Optimus and Bumblebee look interesting. The rest... meh.

I agree, and I already have cancelled mine. They'd be a cool little add-on line for the FE/RiD, but it's just too much money for what they are.

I'm the opposite. I've a set of 5 on order, and am hoping that I get at least one of both the snake and lizard. Ideally it'd be one of each in each colour and maybe an Optimus. I'll probably see about repainting BB if I get him.

I preordered that set, plus these:
