Courtesy of HK-TF we have an image of four new Transformers Prime Arms Microns. The figures seem to be divided along faction lines with the Autobot Microns having humanoid robot modes with gun alt modes and the Decepticon Microns having beast robot modes with melee weapon alt modes. Unlike the Arms Microns we've been getting lately these do not appear to be exclusives, but capsule toys. Image mirrored below.

Looks more like a Cobra

So they're Gachapon toys? Interesting, I have a small collection of those.

Actually, that one LOOOOOKs like Prime. Are they following suit after the 3rd party companies with leaders into targetmasters, and animals into masters?

Capsule toys, eh? I might actually be halfway interested! No doubt these will make it West in one form or another. Likely packed-in with larger figures. Although probably in ugly transparent plastic. Haha well if they end up looking more like Targetmasters than PCC Minicons, I'm interested.

I like these are they meant to be guns for Arcee and other figures that didn't come with guns

This! This is the kind of stuff I've been wanting to see for minicons! I always thought they'd make good prizes in boxes of cereal as well.

might be worth it, assuming two things: they are affordable to the general masses, and they are NOT see through!!

Yea, the humanoid on the left looks like Prime, while the one on the right looks like Megatron with a sword on each of his arms.

These are pretty cool.

The ones on top seem to be tagged as Autobots in the background, so I doubt the one on the left is supposed t be Megatron.

Oh, didn't notice that, was probably distracted by the idea of having targetmasters of them both. :lol:

ya know these are pretty damn cool.

But seriously, though. I don't know why they don't put out a full run of these in non-transparent colors, assuming they're main line and affordable. I'd get an assortment of colors for various bots. I'd get a BOX of em.

Purple, gray, blue, green black for the Deceps.

Red, orange, blue, white, yellow for the Autobots.

Silver and gold and copper for to decimate my wallet.

I am so biting on these. I pre-ordered the entire line on BBTS last night.

These are awesome. Any word on BBTS having them in the future?

Clockwise from top-left: Optimus Prime Blaster, Bumblebee Sword, Gob, and Zad.

The latter two of which are pronounced like "Gohb" or "Gobe" (silent E) and "Zahd" or "Zod" (as in "Kneel before Zod!")
