Japanese Transformers fan and blogger has posted the first in-hand images of upcoming Takara Transformers Prime Arms Micron AMW07, AMW08 and AMW09.

These 3 Arms Microns are capable to combine and form a Battle Shield for the Transformers Prime figures.

We have mirrored some the images below for your viewing here. To view the full gallery, click any of the below images:

arnt those the versions that come with optimus?

I like the combined sword form, but as individual Microns, those suck. The gold one appears to be some sort of axe, but the shape would make it pretty ineffective. The other two... I'm not sure what they're supposed to be. A cone and a rod?

Yes, well repaints, done in gold.

They're described as a javelin, an axe and a lance. Here are the names:

red javelin: Pral (based on Prowl)
grey axe: Sais (based on Seaspray)
blue lance: Jayz (based on Jazz)

The "Battle Shield" is called Cosmotector, which happens to be the Japanese name for the Skyboom Shield.

That's one U.S. patriotic-looking Cosmotector.

Please Primus WHY?

These look pretty shoddy really, like something youd find in Poundland or similar store?

I guess someone may enjoy them, for what they are?

Actually they remind me of the stuff you get out of a Kinder Surprise chocolate egg!

Really? Looks like Fat Megatron to me. It's got Megatron's head and shoulder-mounted cannon.

Yeah, these just aren't doing it for me. I could never think of displaying these with any other Microns/Minicons.

We're not too happy paying $15 for a Hasbro deluxe these days given the quality. It's ludicrous to think of paying in some cases half that for one of these.

I'm afraid those three are possibly neon (if formed together). But I am in more interest on the TRU exclusive Optimus versions, since they may have a more better color scheme.

I just got the first six Microns come in and I was a bit skeptical at first. But I had a lot of fun putting together. There were times when I was scared I was going to break them (Gundam never had joints like these) but I had a blast.

These are way better than the capsule ones as well! Those joints kept popping off.

To put it simply, for only 8 bucks a piece I basically cancelled my pre-orders on the capsule toys and went and bought duplicates of the ones I would totally use in uncombined form.

Finding new ways to combine these guys is also part of the fun. I can't wait to see the Arms Microns they will have for the Weaponizer Optimus (2 known, 3 to go!)

If you like putting stuff together or improving on things (Thanks Reprolabels!) This is what you need, total 80's fun!

Arms Master Optimus Prime (as Takara's calling him) comes with Shining R.A. and a Matrix of Leadership accessory. When you combine the two, they form the Matrix Saber.

Yes, but the listings say he'll come with five Microns. The two you mentioned are the ones we already know about.

The Matrix of Leadership is not an Arms Micron. It's just an accessory piece.

And that listing could have been mistaken.

Could have? I say it was. We have 5 Microns total, but distributed over two Optimus Prime toys:

- O.P. A
- Pral G
- Sais G
- Jayz G
- Shining R.A.
