TransformersAsia has posted official images and information on the Transformers Prime CNY Optimus Prime and Gaia Unicron Combo Pack. The set is joint release from Takara Tomy and Hasbro for the Chinese New Year. Both figures feature slightly tweaked decos with extra metallic paint applications. The set is scheduled to release in the Asian market excluding Japan on December 28th.

Count me in for one

Are there any differences between these and normal figures, or are they just the same as the AM-01 and AM-19 figures?

Looks to me like the "extra" paint apps on Unicron are the paint apps we assumed the AM version was going to have in the first place based on the promotional photos.

Paint instead of stickers, I reckon. Don't know about the Microns though.

Red forearms! Finally!

A few more pics.

The Asians have a higher difficulty of transformation then north americans.
We have 4 levels to the asian's 5 levels of difficulty.

Hmm.... No transparent forearms on Optimus. Could this be the version of the RiD Optimus mold that Counterpunch will actually fork out for?

I'd happily take that Unicron. I can't stand the green paint on the standard version.
