Weapon: Fusion Cannon
You can tell by Bumblebee that Arcee is just off camera :P

On a more serious note, these don't look half bad. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford a Japanese exclusive, but I can dream ;)
PLEASE contact me if you have any of the following, or know where I can find them:
[list]
[*]Cybertron Leader Class Optimus Prime's wings
[*]RTS Deluxe Optimus Prime's sword
[*]Cybertron Voyager Vector Prime's sword

Thank you.

Of for pete's sake...

This really must stop. The Autobot microns are ANOTHER Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. The cons actually get something interesting and different that duplicity makes a modicum of sense.

I hope Hasbro does pick this up and sells them individually, because I'm not getting suckered into buying more goddamn primes and bees. Thank god I used BBTS, where preorder management is painless.

Why must they be Prime and Bee ??? Why cant they be Caliburst, Blowpipe, Aimless ??? I glad I pre-ordered all the "real" targetmasters made by Mastershooter Creations.

These are $4.00 each along with Gobu and Zado at Captured Prey. It doesn't get much more affordable than that.

Endless waves of Optimus and Bumblebee toys aside, am I the only one who finds it ironic how, Optimus turns into the blaster when Bumblebee turns into the sword? shouldn't it be the other way around? Image

Are these same minicons going to be included with the Takara Prime figures, or are those going to be different minicons as well?

I dont see a point in targetmasters that transform into mini versions of non targetmaster characters.

No, these are vending machine capsule toys. The ones coming with Optimus and BB are different ones.

I was joking.

But, when you think about it, making them resemble iconic characters may help make them sell better with the younger audiences. ;)
