Autobase Aichi on Facebook has posted a selection of photos of a new display in Bic Camera stores advertising various Transformers releases from Takara-Tomy for the remaining part of the year. On display we have various releases including:
  • Masterpiece Convoy Version 2 (Out Now)
  • Masterpiece Lambor (Sideswipe)
  • Masterpiece Red Alert
  • Transformers United EX Grim Master Prime Mode
  • Transformers Prime Arms Micron Wheeljack
  • Transformers Prime Arms Master Optimus Prime
  • Transformers Prime Arms Micron Orion Pax (a Bic Camera exclusive)

This new display reveals a few things we did not know about these releases, such as the fact that Arms Micron Wheeljack will come with both an Arms Micron sword and one of the normal swords from the Hasbro release. We've also got a clear look at the Bic Camera exclusive Orion Pax, the Takara-Tomy release of the Deluxe class Optimus Prime from the First Edition two pack. These pictures reveal that Orion will feature the regular "masked" Optimus head rather than a retooled head, and Decepticon symbols.

Check out all the pictures by opening the link above or read on with this story to check out our mirror.

what the hell are those things on Red Alert's ears?

That sucks. The only thing I want is Sideswipe. Something about Red Alert just seems... off.

It's meant to be electric shocks, like the ones he had in 'Auto Beserk'.

So arms micron Jackie will have 3 swords, that makes no sense if the micron is suppose to be the actual weapon of their user.
TigerBlade
I'm loving the cartoon nod with Red....that's awesome

Guess Soundwave had to go to the bathroom along with his cassettrons...

Yeah it's a nice touch although not sure if I'd display him with them on. Shame they don't show RA in lambo mode. All in all looking good.

Is the second one shown? I figured maybe he's getting one and one - so he has two swords but only one is his Arms Micron.

I'm guessing there is going to be a second display - probably in whichever store it was getting Thundercracker - that will have a Decepticon bias and show off something like Thundercracker, United EX Constructicons, Gaia Unicron, Soundwave, Nemesis Prime and CyLAS Breakdown.

Part of me wants to pre-order Sideswipe and Red Alert, but the other part of me says these will hit U.S. shores for $44.99 each as store exclusives somewhere down the road. TRU or Walmart, perhaps?

The second regular sword is plugged onto his right shoulder. So 3 swords - 2 regular (RID) swords, 1 arm micron sword

Awesome Welles
All I can say is that AM Wheeljack, being plain white w/o stickers, is crying out for a Diaclone Marlboor reprolabels set!

Not that cyberverse Lightspeed Wheeljack wasn't an awesome enough Diaclone homage, I just fancy a deluxe...
Transbot90210
Loving the MP's, all pre ordered and now we just wait.

I hate falling for weapons but it is so easy to do when they are a mcguffin in a show. I want that Star Saber but have no need for another Prime figure.

This ... Why is it so hard to properly transform him??
UltimusPrime
Wouldn't be cheaper to just buy a SDCC Optimus Prime and stick Decepticon stickers on him to make Orion Pax?

Hey, it adds to the esteem of Masterpieces that the transformation's too much for the merchandise/display crew! Ah, all kidding aside, they're probably battling the clock and just maybe aren't as passionate about Transformers as some of us here are.

Still, I find it funny how - from the camera angle at least - it looks like they've gone to the trouble of dynamically posing Lambor/Sideswipe but the gesture is capped off by the weapon kind of drooping out of his hand, so it loks like he's shooting around a corner or at Frenzy/Rumble. So it ends u looking about as dynamic as someone fencing... with a bananna, haha.

Cool figures though, the mistransformations and so on don't bother me.
Koolimus Prime
*sees that Orion Pax is getting a toy* AWSOME!
Sees that it's just Optimus with Decepticon stickers*
bignick1693
When I think of Orion pax I think of young Optimus not when he lost his memory and turned to the decepticons.
grayman
I have a question for everyone. Are the only differences between Red Alert's head and Sideswipes head the color and ears or is there some other remolding that I am not seeing in these pictures?
dare
Damn. I might be in Japan when Orion hits but if that's the final product I'll pass. Would have gotten him if he were that off-purple color from the Figure King scan.
Grimwing


This pic makes me So much happier I preordered red alert. Nice that they dedicated some special parts to it.
Obviously I'm also getting sideswipe.
Stepper
A bit sad that Orion Pax is not of Voyager FE mold.
SpiderVenom13
The Masterpiece figs turned out great!

That's one positive to these horrible Arms Micron figures, they're extremely reprolabel friendly.

The top part of the head is different. I'm thinking the front of their head might be the same though. They look very similar, but yes the antennae are different and the top of the their head at the very least.

Wow, so for Orion Pax they just slapped two Con symbols on the deluxe mold? That's disappointing on several levels.
Brave Magnus
So I am guessing that big ass sword is the Star Saber. Looks cool!

Wait, what?

Orion Pax's deco is obviously based Cybertron Galaxy Force Optimus Prime's which also was the inspiration for TFA Elite Guard Optimus Prime.

But is that Arm Micron supposed to be the Star Saber Sword?
Timesynch
Masterpieces are looking nice (mistransformations notwithstanding XD). That Takara Weaponizer OP looks great with that neat Star Saber contraption he has. I'm kinda hoping Reprolabels makes an 539 Aitalia sticker set for TFP Wheeljack. I'd pick up another of him (I have 2 already) just for that and keep him in alt mode. XD Neat that his AM version has both swords and the sword Micron (though I might have preferred it turned into his arm cannon instead).
Sol Fury
I can sort of see where they might be coming from. You've got a show accurate red head, but toy accurate red legs. In effect the deco ends up being accurate to neither version. It's possible the legs might be fixed by release though.

Not something that bothers me (I doubt I'm getting Red Alert right away anyway) but I can see why if you are passionate about having one exactly as it is on the cartoon why it would be a bit of an issue.
Sideways77
Orion Pax looks like a waste of money. It's just FE deluxe Prime with two tiny Con Logos.

Was hoping for at least a new head sculpt, but yeah. The only thing he has going for him is the blinged out golden arms micron sword. The Deluxe OP mold is pretty meh compared to the FE Voyager.
SydneyY
Since I don't own dlx Optimus Prime mould, Orion Pax might be a nice oddity for me. I must, MUST resist getting Arms Master OP for the sake of minicons >_<
leov36
Im still hoping that when I open my Sideswipe box he has rubber wheels. -fingers crossed-
Optimus1116
Can anyone confirm Sideswipe's release date? I heard that it was initially Sept-Oct, but it says on TFSource that it's November, and on BBTS it's December.
REMINATOR
Sideswipe looks awesome, can't wait to have him. As for Red Alert, still disappointed by his red thigh. Looks like I'll be picking Red Alert when Hasbro release him at much cheaper price and hopefully they'll correct his color as well.
Hicks_Royel
You know, now I want a second bot mode Red Alert so I can display one with a black helmet.
gokuz23
Is that Predicus i see? or someone else
helli0n
So does anybody know if that big thing at the bottom of Arms Micron Weaponizer Optimus Prime a new Micron or just a weapon? I saw it referred to as a Matrix on TFWiki, but no explanation as to whether it was just a weapon, a matrix of leadership or a micron. Just curious.
