It's shaping up to be a good week for Japanese fans. The Takara Transformers Prime "First Edition" figures have been released, the Campaign Arm Microns became available, and now Million Publishing's exclusive Stepper has started to arrive. TFW2005's GENgoraw has posted some in-hand images of the new Microns and Stepper with Nightstick. We've mirrored a few of the images below, more are available for viewing by click the following: Microns - Stepper

Magnificent. I cannot wait for Stepper. Now someone make me an Artfire!

[griftimus prime]

i have jazz. i dont need this poser

[MGrotusque]

I really like that little purple micron dude. He's pretty sweet.

I generally don't like gold very much but when black and gold are used together properly like in Steppers instance it is almost irresistible to me.

Why must you be so expensive Stepper WHY?

[Swindle01]

there was talk of a ko of it in the works so dont worry. just wait alittle while and get the ko of it like what happened to clear starscream ect

[Stockade]

Not only do i have RTS Jazz, but i have United Jazz as well! Stepper is cool but not that cool.

[gothsaurus]

yeah, this turned out so well. Too bad we can't see a mainstream release of this state-side. Seems like a black sportscar would sell like hotcakes.

And Artfire and Hauler while they're at it.... in fact all the construction vehicles in lime green. (Mudflap, Power Core set, Grapple...)

*Hasbro sees a great idea and jumps to do it and makes lots of money*

I know the transformation isn't precisely right, but I wouldn't mind seeing the RTS Jazz mold repainted into G1 Overdrive....

[gothsaurus]

wow. All things considered, that's a pretty decent match for the transformation AND head sculpt. Not bad.

[gothsaurus]

I may have to pick up an extra Stepper to repaint into Overdrive. ROTFL.

[Blurrz]

Ughhhhhhhhhh I need those minicons like white on rice. funny how I'll probably be rocking more $ for them than Ricochet. Ricochet's gold is rather stunning, and the white is vibrant.. what white should really be on all Classics toys.

[alexison]

I'm not a huge fan of the Minicons as I believe they should have been solid painted plastic from the start. I'd love to see some Targetmasters/Powermasters show up in the Prime cartoon though!

Stepper looks excellent. I can't wait to get him.

[DMSL]

Did they add a peghole somewhere on the carmode to attach the targetmaster?

[Vibrance]

oh dear... 2011 ends expensive. I need Stepper.

[RhA]

Stepper is as Stepper does. I can't cough up the cash for that one.

[Flux Convoy]

Stepper is as Stepper does. I can't cough up the cash for that one.

Cough harder.

[Kibble]

Now in stock at BBTS. And now to watch closely how it's selling...

[Prime Evil]

Just paid for mine and now I get to finally ship my POL!

Headrobots Butcher
MakeToys Battletanker
Stepper

[gothsaurus]

oh, that's a nice haul! I just shipped the first two, but have my Stepper ordered through a friend. Gonna have to wait...

Maybe someone can address my missing Classics Artfire in the mean time... Hasbro? Takara? Botcon? KOToys.... aw wait. KOToys RIP.

[Prime Evil]

At this point, I think Artfire would be a hotter sell then Stepper. I don't think he has ever been re released or even had an homage done. Somebody get a move on that cash cow...STAT!
