Arms Microns FTW.

Seriously loving this from TT, just wish I'd been able to buy AM exclusivley over PRID, but at twice the price...

On the contrary, Transformers Prime episodes in Japan added the Arms Micron Theater segment which includes these little guys getting into wacky shenanigans.

Plus, because of them, the characters have those horrible holes all over.

Then buy the Hasbro releases. I don't see why your complaining about that.

junk

So far I've kept quiet about the AM figures just because I find them laughable at best but I have to admit that, were I to do some mixing with the figures from the sets that make up the Gravity Bow, I would actually not mind having that set. Otherwise, the whole concept is something I would pass on. I'll just tolerate (some of) the Hasbro figures for now.

IMO Arms Microns are better as stand alone weapons and sometimes alt-modes. Looking at everything all lumped together they look like a hunka-hunka burnin' crap...'nuff said!

Not to mention that the dialogue of the episodes themselves sometimes give reference to them. Most commonly is the new phrase of "Arms Up!" spoken whenever one deploys their weapons.

And in the Shadowzone episode, when Starscream loses his arm and has Knock Out try to replace it, instead of Knock Out suggesting a new weapon like in the English version, the Japanese version has Medic Knock Out suggest that Starsream get a new Arms Micron.

Interestingly enough, I am intrigued by the Gravity Planet Blowgun more than the Advanced Star Saber. I guess the Advance Star Saber looks like a Big Stick that has a few items added to it.

That, and I am also starting to wonder if I am still into the Micron (Mini-Con) scene.

Just curious: What qualifies this as junk?
