Arms Microns aka Minicon/Targetmasters

These are Arms Microns, The Japanese call them Arms Microns and we call them Minicons. These are small Transformers that turn in to weapons as a power-up for other Transformer figures. Very thoughtful of Takara to do this. And The possibilities of combining them with each other to create bigger weapons is just amazing indeed.

The pictures speak louder than words for these Minicons, first I'll show how they look by themselves & then towards the end of this post will be the combinations and weapon modes.


2 of each eh?


Robot mode and weapon mode see? Triple barreled canons!


Little blades!



Shurikens! and well the robot mode is a weird 4 legged insect?


If you thought their robot mode sucked well they pack 2 more modes, charging blasters on the right and drills on the left!


Scorpions that turn in to Blasters and tentacles, In TF Prime show Soundwave uses tentacles a couple times to hack in to systems such n such. These comes in handy.


Little Fat guys that turn in to Blasters and that's not all the next few pics will show you what else they turn in to! Separate the little piece and it can be held as a chained mace. 


Look at the pic on the right it can also be pegged in to the hand slot and used as if the weapon came out of the hand. And then well....just smash your enemies to bits?


"LET'S BLAST SOME DECEPTICONS!!!!!!"


These little guys are amazing at how versatile they are!


These 2 pics show another pair of Minicons that turn in to a Sword and a Claw/Canon.



A Closer look at them. The next pics will show them being used with other figures and some combinations.



I call this one "The Macer!" What? I can't think of a better name...or may be Smasher Basher!!!!!


This one is the uh.......Slicer Dicer?


 Ultra Bazoookaaasss!!!!!!!


BAZOOOOOKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!


EH?


This is what I meant when I said "POWER-UP!"


Better look....


*spin, charge and...........*


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

Darkside Megatron

Another Megatron figure except it's Dark and gives a very Tough feel for the Decepticon leader.


Done done!

Arms Master Optimus Prime

Here we have Takara Arms Master Prime One of the BEST figures ever made for Optimus Prime. This is the MOST accurate figure you can get for the TF Prime Optimus Prime. Yes many collectors will say that "No it's the First Edition Prime and woof woof woof woof and woof" But let me tell you, you would say that if you didn't own this version of the mold. There's a Hasbro version of this mold which sucks ass so people who don't have the Takara version like me hands on will always make these assumptions. Anyway Takara also did something very nice for this figure they made a Sword a Matrix Sword that can transform in to his show accurate Matrix and the Star Saber sword from the show. While this Star Saber sword is not accurate to the show, little matters as it's very original and something that Hasbro didn't even attempt. It looks AMAZING as a sword and works very well with this figure so Kudos to Takara! Now On to the pictures:




In box, very shiny and with his Gatling Guns open & ready to be freed from his prison.


Well "THAT'S JUST PRIME!"



The Matrix on the left and the Minicon that combines with the matrix to become the sword on the right.


A Weapon worthy of a Prime!


*Play majestic music here" 
Ratchet: "Optimus?"
Optimus: "I am receiving a message........"


"Now who was it that made those awful movies with idiotic script and stuff? Just so I know what it feels like when I swing this sword......"


Enjoy and Here goes the next post!
