Planet Iacon has added a new picture to their Facebook feed. This time, it's of the upcoming Arms Micron Voyager Darkness Megatron. AM-15 will use the Prime Robots In Disguise voyager mold and will be outfitted with chrome pieces. He will also come with two Micron figures. Gora II, a repaint of the Micron the first Arms Micron Megatron comes with and Hades, a clear purple Micron that changes from a bat to a scythe.

Arms Micron Voyager Darkness Megatron will be available at the end of the month.

WOAH! That is some SHINE! I REALLY want that Minicon.

The chrome seems a bit too random. Makes him looked 'tricked-out' more than anything.

Also- Someone actually made Voyager Starscream look interesting.
hordeall
The chrome is only on his head chest and shoulders


The arms and legs are stickers that dont have to be applied

The chroming isn't random enough.
They should have skipped the head.
I saw a close-up a while back.
Don't remember where.
The chroming washes out all the detail in the face.
Looked like the chrome was just pored in.

Random chrome kind of ruins it, and the black makes it look odd. Shame, I really wanted to like this one.

Also, that has to be the best fanmode ever.

Darkness Megatron is shiny.

Star Saber
Ah Takara, you never fail to amaze us with your fascination with BLING

What is that "thing" next to Megs?
Robogeek28
I like shiny but this is just too much.
transformerwars
The black looks awful, and the chrome looks terribly placed. Glad I passed on it.
Soundwinder
I wanted to like it since it doesn't have the weird brown plastic of the Hasbro release.

But the chrome is just too random and doesn't really add to it. Still like it more than Hasbro's, but... that's just not enough.

This puts the Hasbro version to shame. I'll wait for some kind of sale though before I pick this up. Love the hell out of the chrome and the microns.

The arms micron looks like they took left over FE Starscream bits to make a weapon
hordeall
if your talking about the thing next to megatron that is voyager starscream in a weird configuration
GrimlockAutobot
Love Love Love this version of the mold especially the microns! I don't understand all of the hate...I think it looks fan-freaking-tastic. The best part is you don't have to apply the highlight stickers.

They went all "pimp my cybertronian ride" on the RiD Voyager Megatron mold and it looks awesome.

Doh!!
UltraPrimal
Do people seriously not realize that's Voyager Starscream next to Megatron in a RiD Galvatron-esk bird fan-mode?
Ceerad
Damn it! Now I have to go buy a Voyager Starscream for that fan mode!
Kaijumaster
boy that Megatron is Sexy and his Minicons are even sexier, but the fact he costs more than 2 Jet Vehicons....I can't justify the cost.
Shadowbreaker
Wait, so that chrome isn't stickers?

Also, loving the Starscream fan-mode.
Maverick Hunter Christian
I wonder if the chrome is supposed to be indicative of the buff work Breakdown was performing when Megatron was still comatose?
Noideaforaname
*runs off to transform Starscream*

I should probably say something about Megatron, but LaserScreamer is far more interesting.
Blitz.
oh chrome you are my weakness

Well sir, that's turkey Starscream of course!

I was highly anticipating this Megatron, but turns out I just don't like him that much. There's TOO much chrome... And yes I am aware that you do not need to apply the stickers, but even without them it's still too glaring. I like chrome when it's justified and muted (kinda like on Buster Prime) and mixed with metallic paint. Had the chest being chromed and the rest flat painted or metallic I would've loved it, there's no reason for the head and shoulders to be chromed too IMHO.
Bountyan
Dat fan mode.

The chrome looks stupid. It always looks stupid if chrome is one random place that makes no sense and nowhere else.
Gilgamesh
Um, hello there Birdscream.

Ugh, that chrome looks so... NOT right.
hordeall
Its not spectacular but its better than hasbro version
and has a much better cannon
PrimusVsUnicron
why are ppl bitchin about the chrome? Aren't they same guys who complained about the American version?

Random chrome splattered on the chest/shoulders isn't much better than really bland looking plastic everywhere.
Knightdramon
I'd like it a lot more of the head wasn't chromed, but I still love it. Best looking Megatron release across 4 lines [FE, AM, US Prime and Cyberverse].

Love the fact that the arms\legs stickers harken back to G1 Megatron's regal chest tribal stickers. The bat minicon looks SICK.

Finding it very hard to NOT buy this one right now.
Dirge121
Wow, that looks really bad. Talk about random application of chrome.
Looks like the US version is still by far the best, bland colors > this mishmash rubbish.

About the only thing this mess has going for it is the micron.
Autovolt 127
Eh I can still wait for a decent coloured Voyager Megatron.

Ok.. 1st off, that Voyager Starscream thing is disturbing. Ok, now on to the subject of Megs. I like the figure mould, and even the choice of black plastics, but the chrome accents seem crappy, since they really accent the mould streaks and scuffs.

With out the chrome, and just using silver paint, it would look better to me.
Cyber-Scream
Too chromey for my tastes. A little would be nice, but they went kinda overboard.

I think you'll be waiting quite a while.

As for Megs, I think they should have just painted him the same silver as the FE deluxe. That toy is still gorgeous, if you ask me. But the dull plastic on the Hasbro RiD Megs still beats the random chrome.

All I want is Gora.....
[Wing_Saber-X]
so nice. Darkness Megs needs a head swap thou with a regular PRID Hasbro Megs..
Stepper
The chrome on Meg sure looks good.
snoopcow
why does megs have purple tramp stamps on his calves?
LigerPrime
Looks decent but they should have chromed the legs also to give a more consistent look to the toy.
Stepper
Agree with you,do not know what is TakTomy is thinking in this case.
Timesynch
Looks kinda cool, actually. Digging the black plastic and filigree accents on the legs since it reminds me of G1 (gun) Megs. The chrome looks decent; the problem is that the overall package looks uneven since only select parts are chrome while the rest is unpainted plastic. I would have much preferred a more uniform silver paint job over most of the figure, similar to United Megatron vs. the random chrome a la Henkei Megatron. I quite dig the more show accurate arm cannon at least. And Starscream's fanmode is just too funny. XD

I want a black Shadow Blade repaint of the Voyager mold.
