Planet Iacon has updated their Facebook page with an image of the first set of Arms Micron capsule figures in color. These capsule sets feature Micron versions of Optimus and Bumblebee that turn into weapons. The other two molds available are two beast microns; a cobra that turns into a staff and a lizard/gecko that turns into an axe with saw blades. The Micron figures have a tentative release date for this month. Available in the first wave are:
  • Bumblebee Sword
  • Optimus Prime Blaster
  • Gob
  • Zod
  • Gob (Purple version)
  • Zod (Purple version)

Note, the new picture shows the purple versions of Gob and Zod to actually appear to be more pink. We'll keep you posted as more info on these Microns become available.

Oh for the love of... WHY DO THEY GET AWESOME CAPSULE TOYS AND WE GET MOTHER FUCKING STICKY HANDS.

These are bought. Great concept, nice execution, looks like fully integrated transformation with no parts-forming, which you sometimes see with this size of release.
Blitz.
first one looks very prime ish in the chest area and what looks like faux wheels on the legs.

personally I'm game for this I love target masters so these are right up my street

Where do you plan to buy these from?
RandomFactor
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.
General Tekno
How can we acquire these?

You are right. As far as I can tell, the names are:

Optimus Prime Blaster
Bumblebee Sword
Zado (literal katakana transliteration. Probably "Zard")
Cobu (like Cobra without the final "ra")

So we have a gun, a claw, a chain-axe and a back scratcher?

It's a shoulder massager for Hot Shot.
Coaxial
These look hella nifty.
Fort Max
Very nice, love the cobra/power saw... thing...
shibamura_prime
The Targetmaster fan in me heartily approves of these, especially the cobra dude.

HaHa. Nice.


So, are these some kinda campaign retailer-exclusives, or are they gonna have a bit wider release over there?

These are mass release figures in Japan. They are capsule toys like you find at the exit of TRU.

Cool. Thanks for the info.
(I wasn't clear on the "capsule toys" part at first.)
Grimlock_13
Those look AWESOME! I definitely want to get them!
Lbsammills51
Swwwweeeeet.

I want all four.
kiyoshioni
I want these, I shall hunt them down.

They should do G1 Cassette Recolor Capsule Toys. Hmmmmmm.
Autovolt 127
Wait are these new?

Man they look sweet.
bigkid24
Forgot to mention that the release is set for May.
SouthtownKid
At a couple bucks Japanese price, I'll be interested to see what they go for when retailers here (anime shops, import toy shops, etc.) offer them.
astrakhan
Between these, the Gobusters mecha, the Defensor kits and the Deathsaurus wave, I'm getting a ton of candy toys this year.
juxtapose519
Great. More awesome toys that Hasbro won't release.
Aernaroth
Neat! I get a definite Headmaster Animals vibe off these guys, especially the unproduced ones.
Soundwinder
Despite my knee-jerk pessimism, I wonder if they will come out here.

Sure, Takara has released dozens of Minicons that never saw the light of day in the West, but to my knowledge no complete molds have been Takara-exclusive Hasbro's made no attempt to bring the Takara redecos over, but they may reconsider complete molds. I'd definitely buy the four in a Deluxe-sized four pack, or possibly in a blind bag for about $5 that seems to be all the rage with the kiddos.

Even if they come out here, I don't foresee these being in capsule machines, though. The nicest TF merch I've seen in those were the TF07 phone tags, which are several magnitudes simpler than even the most rudimentary of TFs.

The chameleon and the cobra WILL BE MINE.
Robogeek28
Hmmmm, interesting, I may hafta try and acquire these somehow.
flywheels
Nice! Adding these to my want list.

I'm almost positive Hasbro won't release a version of these. I can't imagine any reason they'd even consider it. But that doesn't mean you won't be able to get them here.
soymonk
Love these, especially the world's deadliest pair of tweezers.
SydneyY
I love gashapons, and it's easy to get a complete set (once preorders up, of course) I hope these won't be cancelled like gashapon TFA Legends.
BraveMax
Anyone else notice that the prime and bumblebee ones are actually prime and bumblebee figures that turn into their weapons?
rxlthunder
Aw man, no sword.
RedAlert Rescue
Looks more like a Gecko to me.

Neat, good for Japan...not so good for us.
protostar8
So what's the best way to get these (and the other weapons that were shown previously)???
amd098
gun guy looks nice, ill pass on the rest
only want moar targetmasters!
wm10k
i'm not diggin on these too much, especially the ones that resemble prime and bee....

but if the ones we saw previously that looked like the weapons from TF: Prime are also going to be released in this way count me in for those.
JR3X
Need more pics pls!!
theestampede
I'd love to get these.

If these came out in america, they'd likely be some crazy colored clear plastic like they always love to do.
GetterRobo
I like the targetmaster, and be inclined to get the claw/tweezer thing. Not to keen on a cobra mace, and a geckoesque-chainsaw-backscratcher-thingie.
gothsaurus
Hey. My band opened for gecko chainsaw backscratcher!
