Arms Micron Gatling Bumblebee which is the Takara Tomy release of Weaponizer Bumblebee first showed his metallic gold deco at the Dengeki Festival. Ever since, fans have been wondering if it was an exclusive release. That question has been answered as Toys "R" Us Japan has listed the figure on its website along with official images. They have been mirrored below.

It is listed for 7,999 yen with a release date of November 19, 2012

Forget the paint job for a moment, here's someone who knows how to make a toy look good in a photo!

Wish the packaging shots could look as good for other figures.

Wait, Bumblebee has how many tires now?

Wait, Bumblebee has how many tires now?

He has 8. For extra traction.

The Micron looks great in gun mode. Robot mode...

Or they know how to use Photoshop well. Those don't look like virgin untouched photos.

A golden chariot from the heavens, wheels within wheels... OMG, is this what Ezekial describes in The Bible? Did Bumblebee visit Earth thousands of years ago?

Now that is a decent looking BB.

AW man. I want the micron, but not a $100 Bumblebee. Sighhhhh.

[Sabrblade]

Compared to the Deluxe figure, B.2 A scales really well with this figure.

Not even a shiny Takara paint job and a Micron can redeem this figure.
