The Energon Pub

Site sponsor Robotkingdom has shared some in-package images of Takara's Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-10 Bulkhead, AM-11 Arcee, EZ-10 Star Hammer with Wheeljack, EZ-11 Ironhide, and EZ-12 Dreadwing. They will beginning shipping these items out on May 26th. Images mirrored below.

If this Bulkhead is any indication, Takara's Voyager Megatron will have less paint app's than the Hasbro release... and probably covered in ugly "Arms Micron" ports, too. Waiting for the Japanese versions just doesn't make sense any more. This Arms Micron plague is worse than MechTech.

Targetmasters and sticker sheets? It's like 1987 has come back to haunt us... -_-

AM Voyager Megatron will likely have less paint apps, yes, but he does appear to be a nice shiny metal colour. Weapons are looking pretty nice too. I already have the PRID one so probably won't get the AM one, but it looks like a good toy.

I like the packaging on the Japan release.

Wha's with the packaging variants:

At this rate, I'll be getting Takara Bulkhead before I get a Hasbro version. HLJ sent my shipping confirmation last night.

Stickers and Microns, with more stickers...

I also hope the blue used in Takara's Arcee is a darker shade than Hasbro's version.

I think Takara Arcee's particular shade of blue (regardless of accuracy) is largely overshadowed by those giant pink nipples on her wings... @_@;

Everything is largely overshadowed by that... but still fun to look at.
