Courtesy of Toy-World we have the Transformers related scans from Figure King 174. Seen below:

• MP-12 Lambor/Sideswipe
• MP-13 Soundwave
• MP-14 Red Alert
• Alternity Banzai-Tron
• Alternity Galvatron
• AM-17 Swerve
• AM-18 Airachnid
• AMW-07 - 09
• Arms Micron Capsule Toys Wave 2
• AM Terrorcon Bumblebee
• Toys"R"Us Japan Exclusive AM Battleshield Optimus Prime
• Hell Flame Campaign Microns

Seeing all that yummy candy really makes me loathe the direction Hasbro went with Prime's toy line.

Man, i really want those Masterpiece toys. The illustrations of Soundwave show that the gun will attach to the back, not store like G1 Soundwave, interesting.

Also, check out the spider mode for Airachnid, wish it didn't look like a helicopter with legs.

Looks like they've attempted to try and make a pseudo-spider mode for Airachnid.

So the AM Airachnid actually has extra legs? Or am I misunderstanding something here? Not that it fixes most of the problems with that mold, but I may just have to shell out for her after all.

And damn, those Masterpieces get better with each new photo. I usually brush off complaints that, "HasTak needs to COMPETE with 3rd Party stuff instead of taking legal action", since it's more about different niches, but I never thought I'd see a Laserbeak that show-accurate from an official source; I keep having to remind myself that it's not a prototype from Fansproject or Impossible Toys. Hell, I'm almost ready to believe that even if Takara can't reproduce those dino-combiner cassettes because their molds are missing/damaged, they'll just plain 1-up the proud legacy of KOTOYS by doing entirely new and better sculpts of them! Hey, if the price of plastic ends up making legions of tiny Masterpieces economically viable, ya' never know.
Come on, Masterpiece Slamdance...

They took a second rotor from another Airachnid figure and stuck it on her copter's side.

Well then... Looks like I'll be buying another Airachnid...

And we have new names for the Microns:

Airachnid's: Ida from "spider", or in Japanese supaida.
Swerve's: Sou, they were probably going for "SaW" given his weapon mode and Swerve's name.

And the turtle in the AMW series has his final name: Dado, from "turtle" or tatoru.

Battle Shield Optimus, a Toys 'R Us Japan exclusive. A repaint of the Arms Micron Voyager, he not only comes with the three G1-themed shield Microns, but also a cardboard trailer.

No no no, the one next to that! The illustration, rather than the photo.

Ah, thank you. I can stop overthinking it now.
