Two new Takara Tomy Transformers Prime Arms Micron store exclusives have been listed for pre-order by Japanese retailer Yodobashi Camera. The figures are listed as
"Dark Guard Optimus Prime" and
"Unicron Darkness", but no images are currently available. One would assume these will be repaints of AM-01 Optimus Prime and AM-19 Gaia Unicron. Dark Guard Optimus Prime is scheduled to release on December 1st and Unicron Darkness scheduled for a March 23rd release.

First Megatron Darkness and now Unicron Darkness.
Wonder what Dark Guard OP will look like.

Please don't let it be based on Energon Unicron...

IMO, that would actually be kinda cool, as I liked that color scheme and wouldn't mind seeing it again.

That's why, I wouldn't know what to do with that one if that was the case.

Wait, am I the only one seeing that image of a blue translucent Unicron on the main news page?

That's just a photo of the regular Gaia Unicron with the colors inverted to negative. It's being used as a placeholder until we get a real image of the figure.

I smell a hint of black repaint for Unicron...
...but not for Optimus. We already got Nemesis on the way. So that's gunna be the baffler.

Doesn't need to be a black Prime. Could be in Nightwatch Prime's deco.

I rarely regret buying any given TF, but I do regret buying Gaia Unicron. It's easily the worst Unicron mold ever produced (I think I was even more satified with McUnicron). No matter the color scheme, it just can't make up for Unicron's suckiness.

Would be funny if the Prime swapped places for the red and blue. Not sure if they've done that gimmick before.

These two are the closest we've gotten to such a deco:
The combined Energon Wing Saber & Optimus Prime in the top left corner
and Movie Legends Optimus

I'm still waiting on images of Jet Vehicon General, have we gotten any yet? Optimus might be interesting at least.

Not yet.

No, these have separate pre-orders and those didn't appear to be repaints just repacks.

I dislike the concept of the Prime (Gaia) Unicron as a whole. It's a shame that they didn't design a more "machine based" Unicron instead of one made out of rocks IMO.
