Holy Shit, this is the First of the Japanese Prime Line Exclusives I'd really want. Kinda cool how the Matrix becomes the Hilt of the Sword like Prima's.

Under almost any situation I would just buy the American version of these figures but I like the minicon swords on this one so I think for the first time since the Car Robots series I will buy a Japanese version.

So then is this Weaponizer Prime minus the gimmick?

No? It's Weaponizer Prime plus minicons.

This is like a bassackwards Transformers Armada only this time around it's the cartoon that kicks ass and the toys that suck. I actually got a kick out of collecting a very large amount of the Armada Mini-cons and I have to admit that some of the bigger figures weren't too bad but I am not at all impressed with the TF: Prime line one bit and these "Arms Micron" gimmicks are underwhelming. That farce of an over-sized matrix is just hideous.
For those that are happy about the line, cool. I'm glad for you and you can enjoy my share. I will be sitting out on this toy line much as I did with DotM.

More tolerable, I'd say.

I'd like to note that the Matrix is no Mini-Con at all. Rather it's just an object the R.A. Micron can combine with into the Matrix Saber
And that's certainly a surprise. You know, I'm starting to wonder why Mini-Cons make things more appealing for me...

Optimus Prime : Ratchet, I have an odd burning sensation when I lubricate.
Ratchet : Let me see ... HOLY PRIMUS! That's the worst case of Enlarged Matrix I've ever seen!

just realised that AM-21 is the one that's meant to come with 5 Microns. If the Matrix doesn't count, does that mean we might get the sword, the shield (3 parts) and the gun?

Different release. AM-21 Arms Master Optimus comes with the Matrix and R.A., while the Shield Microns and O.P. A comes with the TRU Japan Exclusive Battle Shield Optimus, a repaint of the regular Voyager.
And somehow I want both now. Nothing beats oversized swords.

Kapow toys still has a listing for AM-21 saying it comes with 5 Exclusive Arms Microns. I realise the one on show at Toyko Toy Show was the other one, but, if this one doesn't come with those, it means it should come with another 3 or 4 Microns, although I'd not be surprised if the Matrix counts as one of those.

As JelZe GoldRabbit said, the Matrix doesn't appear to be a Micron itself. Going by the amount of clear plastic on it I'm guessing it's meant to be some kind of light-up unit to create Matrix powered versions of the various Micron weapons. Now we've seen it, it bears a striking similarity to the turtle Micron from the volume 2 listings (the one with the Megatron blaster and Bulkhead fist).
The BBTS listing also still says AM-21 comes with five Microns, but it'd be a bit cheap if the Matrix counts as one.
Even if a miracle happens and Hasbro brings Arms Microns to the rest of the world I'm not sure where this Matrix would fit into things.
