Planet Iacon has uploaded a new picture from Cybergundam blog from Figure king number 176. Show in the scan are a new deluxe Arms Micron Thundercracker figure made from the First Edition Starscream mold. The other figure shown is of deluxe Optimus from the First Edition line, referred to by Planet Iacon as "Orion Pax". It's difficult to make out from the scan, but one would assume this figure will come with Decepticon symbols.

Check out the scan by clicking on the title bar.

I'm going to assume these are both exclusives of some caliber?

I seem to remember a rumor from months ago about these two figures that supported that theory.
Valkysas
So, they're finally getting the FE Deluxe Optimus mold. Also the first ever Decepticon Optimus Prime that's not black. Need it.
Megabattimus
Yes, Thundercracker is the FE mold. Totally getting him to go with my Starscream and Skywarp.
Deceptigtar
why did they give TC the same micron as Skywarp, ugh!

I assume you mean voyager? Edit: nevermind, forgot about that two pack.

But damn, you're right. BRB Gotta change front page.

Meh. I'll go for Thundercracker if it gets cheaper.

Yep, it's the deluxe. You can tell from the heels, the chest windows, and the micron's size compared to the figure.
hupla
Yeah Im down for my boy Tundercraker. Will get.
Megabattimus
You can also tell it's the deluxe by the arms.

I feel like TC will make lots of folks happy. Not my bag.

OP is awkward. He was only a 'con in his Optimus body, he didn't shrink or anything, but I guess collectors like smaller Optimi to be Orion. Of course he would have been an Autobot back then...lol.

damnit...i want my Seekers in voyager scale

Nice! Now when will these come out? If they're exclusives, I'm thinking at least before year's end.

From Japanese board.
Valkysas
Is Dreadwing's micron a SHARK?
FatalT 71
Pretty cool, but not sure if I want to go for them. Would probably go for Thundercracker if I had Skywarp, but since they're both non-show characters, I really don't see a need to pay more for them. If they got US releases, that would be a different story.

Orion Pax - maybe. Just to have a Prime with the Decepticon logo...
BraveMax
Thundercracker and Orion Pax are new... And both store-based exclusives!

And oh look! Dreadwing's micron turns into a shark! Not sure how I feel about that... Didn't he have a sword on the show?

Sword and gun.

But this is clever, and I'll give points to Takara Tomy. His deco is similar to Depthcharge (and Gigant Bomb, who was a Dreadwing redeco) who ALSO had a shark gun.
General Tekno
Seriously, given I don't have Dreadwing yet, I'm now very much considering the TT version on the strength of that micron.
miscreant
Great. Now i a want a bowl of froot loops.

Hm... But for show accuracy... I kind of want the sword. I may actually go US version on this one, which sucks because the TT ones are much easier for me to get...

Need closer-up pics. Plus, the microns tend to trickle out as single-pack versions sooner or later. So... I can get the micron some other way

On an unrelated note... Someone at TT is having a serious love affair with Ratchet's micron. There are like 400 versions of him coming out so far (Ok - maybe just 9 - but that's a LOT for one micron...)...
barrelks
This is good news, gonna have a whole pack of these seekers by the time all things are said and done.

Damn it, I have been thinking of dumping these damn import figures.
froggy124
Yeah the US version looks like the way to go if you want a more show accurate figure. Im in the same boat as you Bravemax
Shin Densetsu
Hmm. Wonder if Orion Pax is unmasked? I do like the FE deluxe Optimus and think it's underrated/overlooked. Looking forward to Orion Pax!

*sigh*

Hasbro store exclusives - no real trouble.
Takara exclusives - no real trouble.
Takara store exclusives. - nuisance.
MrFX
Thundercracker, and sooner than I thought! YEZZIRRRR!!! He'll go perfectly with my FE Starscream and AM Skywarp.

Well, that brought me right down. I hope there are reasonable ways (BBTS) to get ahold of him. I don't feel like playing with the 'bay waiting for someone to put him up for sale.
gunthetra
they're sure getting their mileage with Ratchet's micron.

also i want t-cracker, dammit.

Oh, never mind, then. Well, that takes it out of my hands.

They should give Orion Pax an arms micron that turns into a laptop or something like that. Haha.

This. As for TC having the same AM as SW,a simple swap with the plethora of other AMs available, will do wonders to differentiate him..
f-primusunicron
i hope we see starscream in his g1 colors
but have to say i really want that skywarp
orion...not so much since i hate the deluxe first edition optimus
sticking with the voyager one
XD
Omnius
I'll have to get that Thundercracker somehow. I love me some complete seeker sets.
Thundershot
Good news - they're not sold as a two pack.
Bad news - They're exclusives... Which means we'll be paying out the ass. They could have at least given TC a new micron to make me feel a little better about what I'm about to pay...

Ok, look Thundercraker I can see that,will be getting to finish out the 3 seekers, cool. Orion Pax?! Really?! This is a definite pass for me. It would be different if they came with a different mold with the faceless prime head, but no Takara giving us the same mold again?? PASS! Use the FOC deluxe with a different head something!
RedAlert Rescue
I hope they make an Arms Micron Deluxe Starscream sometime too !

I was expecting The Orion Pax toy to be the Deluxe Optimus - it's very odd that there's no Takara-Tomy version of that yet as an Arms Micron toy.
soundwave144
Ok, I kno orion was a little shocked when he figured out that he was armed, and could thrash some con booty and all. I'm suprised that he comes with weapons. I vote for the laptop accessory, now with free car charger!
UltimusPrime
Yay I will have a complete Prime Seekers line!
DragonPrime120
I Was Just Thinking The Other Day, That Takara Never Released A Version Of The Deluxe Optimus Mold.

Hmm, how easy to acquire were the Animated Japanese Store Exclusives? I sorta wanna gauge how hard it might be to get that Thundercracker.
Kaijumaster
Thundercracker? YES!
Stepper
How i wish the Orion Pax is of the Voyager FE mold
WoundSave
thundercracker is a win for me
Thundershot
C'mon BBTS, wake up and put up preorders!
Timesynch
W00t! Thundercracker is so bought. Really need to complete my TFP Seekers (seems rare that either Hasbro or Takara will give us all three Seekers using the same mold in a given toy line). Glad they're using Skywarp's mold with same changes made to it (the bomb/fuel tank pieces on the wings) so SW and TC match. Screamer, being the main Seeker, I have no problems with him being unique from the other two. I don't mind TC having the same Micron partner either. Even better that SW and TC match (except for colors). I dig the shuriken goat drill thing very much on SW. I can just call them the Ninja Seeker twins. XD

TC being a Japan store exclusive does complicate things, though. Hopefully he gets released within the next few weeks (before Thanksgiving). If I time things right, I can pick him up in person at Yodabashi Camera in Akihabara when I visit Tokyo with the wife anyway.

Japanese Store exclusives, you say? ah, going to ask Masabon to grab both for me, then!
