We have some new details regarding Takara's Transformers Prime Arms Micron line from the latest issue of Figure King by way of Autobase Aichi.
First, the Microns will come unassembled on sprues and feature translucent pieces that will somehow tie into a game to be revealed later. We also have the names of the Microns that come with the first six figures from the line:
Next, the figures will feature less paint than is normally associated with Takara releases, but will come with stickers to add detail. Each figure will also feature multiple newly sculpted ports for the Microns to attach (we already some of these from the official images of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee that we posted this morning).
Update: Toy-World has uploaded the scans from this issue of Figure King. We get another look at AM-01 Optimus Prime and AM-02 Bumblebee, but more importantly we get our first shots of AM-03 Cliffjumper, AM-04 Ratchet, AM-05 Megatron, and AM-06 Skywarp. We also get some ideas on how the Microns can be combined into larger weapons. Also seen new images of MP-11 Coronation Starscream, the recently revealed Vector Oracle and Firebolt campaign Microns, Transformers Prime Cyberverse, and images from the Asahikawa Winter Festival.
Update 2: Cybergundam has added a scan of MP-11 Starscream V2.0 and Vector Oracle from Dengeki Hobby.
First, the Microns will come unassembled on sprues and feature translucent pieces that will somehow tie into a game to be revealed later. We also have the names of the Microns that come with the first six figures from the line:

Thank you.
Now that I got these, their names Romanize out to being:
Ōpī
Bītsū
Shieru
Arue
Gora
Baro
Not quite sure how to transliterate these names correctly, though I'm leaning towards "Bits" and "Shiel" for the Bītsū and Shieru, but those elongated vowels on Bītsū hold me back.
We may have to have someone better familiar with the Japanese language to properly transliterate them.

Looks like someone on TFWiki is already working on transliterating the names. Thus far, Ōpī is "O.P.", and Bītsū is "Beetwo". I'll keep an eye out for the rest and let you know.El Duque wrote:Sabrblade wrote:For the meantime, you might wanna amend the news post with these Romaji names since one can't always be certain with Google Translate.El Duque wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Thank you.

Optimus's Micron is called Opie? Does Megatron come with Anthony? lol
I like that they gave the lifelines to Ratchet but he also has those ugly holes on him too. Sticking with Hasbro and hoping Reprolabels makes some stickers for him

So, is MP-11 Starscream still a work in progress? Doesn't look any different from the last pics they released. The "side panels" they used in place of the hip kibble is white instead of red.
BTW, I'll make a guess as to what some of the Microns' names are.
Bumblebee's Bitsu = Bits?
Cliffjumper's Shieru = Shell?
Skywarp's Baro = Burrow? [it's a drill, after all]
Megatron's Gora = Gorer?
Optimus' Opie = no idea
Ratchet's Arue = no idea

Sounds like their partner Micron's names have something to do with the name of the partner:
Optimus Prime: O.P. (initials)
Bumblebee: B-2 (two B's, BumbleBee)
Cliffjumper: C.L. (remember, "shi" can also be "si" as it's grouped with the "s" kana)
Ratchet: R.A.
Megatron: Golla (gorilla)
Skywarp: Burro (it's a drill, so I'm using the Beast Machines Mol repaint's proposed name)

Actually, they don't look that great now. The figures have a very similar paintjob, with extra holes that make it uglier. The minicons all seems either too squat or thin.
Only the minicons seems to have the nice metallic paint, while the figs are stuck with G1-stlyed chrome stickers.
MP-11 does not seem to have improved much over the previous MP-2 (was it?). Well, i have it on preo-order and i don't own the previous starscream so i'll take it.

Glad I held out to see if Takara would release a Voyager Megatron with silver paint; definitely getting that guy. I'm a little on the fence about Takara Ratchet though. On the one hand, he has the little heart beat lines on his side. On the other, he has those fugly grey holes...

That's the same FE DLX Megatron, I hope Takara won't disappoint with Voyager Megs.
Paint apps really sucks but was getting it for the Micron Arms so a bit disappointed but will still choose Takara over Hasbro this time around.

So we've got the option to pay a premium for the same figures with the slightest of paint adjustments, covered in connection ports, and that come with (admittedly cool) unpainted and unassembled Mini-Cons. Do I go for option A- Hasbro or option B- Takara?
Erm... option C me thinks: Pass.

Skywarp: Cant wait to see the uproar next year if the line gets discontinued before a Thundercracker gets produced.
MP Starscream: They did a nice job, but not $150 nice.
Minicons/Microns: Whatever they are called, they just dont pass for Targetmasters. As a freebee theyre ok I guess. But I cant understand why US collectors would pay $50 and up for them from asian scalpers.

Doesn't matter for transcribing the kana (romaji is the transcribed text with the Roman alphabet if you must know). If a pun in English was intended, like Beetwo for Beetle, then I'll accept that as the official transcription. But none are given, so it's all up for interpretation.

wow, im surprised at how much i like the microns. Bee's and cliff's especially, but they all look pretty cool. I do NOT dig the extra pegholes molded onto the figs however
long story short, if these ever come to the US il get one maybe two cliffs for sure cuz of his current lack of triple blasters, then maybe some others.

DOTM voyager Ironhide had horribly obvious plugs on his alt mode's roof and sides. Not only were they not covered, there's a raised rim around them as if they weren't enough of an eyesore.
But...DotM Voyager Ironhide was a hot steaming pile of dog crap...

Preorders cancelled..
I was expecting a little more out of these. They seem too similar to the hasbro ones with just minor paint jobs but with holes all over. The microns are awesome but not worth the mark up IMO. The only one id be interested in is skywarp..
MP 11 is a must have for me since i missed him twice already.

Is this the real life?

I'm in the same boat of liking the microns but not the extra-holy vehicles. might yet see about getting a couple of these guys but I'm primarily hoping for the targetmaster guys to get individual releases, or a box set release, from Hasbro.

long story short, if these ever come to the US il get one maybe two cliffs for sure cuz of his current lack of triple blasters, then maybe some others.

Hrm... I dunno. :/ I was considering Ratchet... I like the added paint detail, but I don't care for the extra vehicle nubs and they didn't paint his chest windows. I guess if I get the Hasbro version and Reprolabels I'd still be saving money...
Yaaay, Skywarp, another Japanese exclusive. Count me out.

Because it's easy come, easy go
On topic. not 100% sold on the Takara Prime stuff anymore. Will probably stick with Hasbro. Skywarp could be the exception. Definitly not getting MP11. i don't like the large points on the wings and it definitly not paying out for a plastic pink cape. i have a crown and cape on my Hasbro MP Starscream.

Why worry about ports on your vehicle modes when they never get transformed to vehicle mode?
I think they are worth trying a couple for sure.

gonna get Megatron since i missed out on the first edition one, wish they went with the voyager version of him though. i truly hole they make these new targetmasters/minicons in the states though. they could be sold in 3 packs like the Armada days
