Don't ask about the name of the combined weapon, I gave up on kanji with the Sanjouhaouken.

Fingers crossed I'll be in a position to participate more then, this house move and renovation has become more labour intensive than previously thought. I haven't bought a TF since August; let alone posted here....
Still the thought of some new campaign Microns fills me with both joy and fear for my wallet in equal measure!

The original Predaking was released without mold changes in Japan, so no mold changes for the Ultimate one either.
Right, I *think* I have the name of the weapon down... It's another doozy:
Go-Jou-Fuu-Gi-A-Hou
Which kinda means something like "Five-jointed Sub-Cannon of Honorary Winds". Anybody who actually knows Japanese, feel free to correct me.

The helmet looks the same... The face doesn't... Hm.

Also, notice that the combined weapon is in a different configuration from the one we saw in the magazine scans.

It has two combined modes it seems: long range and melee. We've seen the long range as the "GoJouFuugiAhou" (is that even correct?) and the melee weapon is called "GojouGoudenjin". And the meaning is a little simpler this time: "Pentuple Blade of Roaring Lightning". I actually know the kanji this time.
O, silly me, for you Japan folks, the venues:
Geki: Joshin Kid's Land, Bic Camera
Sen: AEON
Shou: Ideon, Yamada, Yodobashi Camera
Go: all Japanese toy stores
Ex: Toys 'R Us

As noted before, the combined form of the Arms Micron weapon seen here is a different one from the magazine scans.

He looks red to me. Either it's you, or it's the lighting in the photos.

I'm thinking it's the latter since he looks a lot more red in these pics - http://transformerskorea.com/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=664388&special=3Manterax Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Ugh, why does Guren Dragotron look so orange when he's supposed to be red?

I'm gonna wait until the Hasbro one goes on sale, which undoubtedly will happen here. Then, you're mine, Guren Dragotron

I guess they kinda have some translucent qualities to them, but... I dunno.
