The saw weapon for Swerve's pretty neat... the color on it though... ugh...

Still, neat find.
Arashistorm
Airachnid looks somehow better than the Hasbro release, but not good enough to be considered decent and be wanted =[. Hope hasbro triesher at least ONE MORE TIME before the series ends--or a third party makes one of her @>@ a boy can dream
megatroptimus
Is Swerve in the show? Still watching season 1 here...

Nope. I think it's a Takara exclusive repaint.
phoenix88
ok. swerve looks awesome.
Steroid Prime
arachnid AM is a lot better than hasbro version

hasbro forgot to paint her up
Deceptigtar
wow wtf, why add those hideous off colored ports to airachnid, the holes already there were fine, ugh.

the new stickers do not save that figure at all, and those added ports to an already limited movable figure sucks.

sadly i need to get it lol.
unlimited02
hmmm i dont know about swerve colors hahaha and his face geez.... i'll still get him but i think breakdown is the better version haha...
Thundershot
Anyone want to translate Swerve's bio?
Kylehudson14
Ooh, the colors IMPROVED Airachnid, keep in mind I dont mind the US ver, but the darker proppellers & nthe gold highlights make it even better! Me like
soymonk
Man. I love that Micron. Too bad it comes with that crappy helicopter accessory.
Heavynova
I really want to know why Hasbro said the Breakdown mold wouldn't work in the states... it's beautiful.
CardboardRobot
Is it weird I think these pictures make airachnid dare i say, desirable

They have been releasing Micron redecos separate from the mainline figures. Unfortunately getting specific ones can be 6-9 bucks each, but it's far less than winding up with a figure you don't like.
charsdc2
Breakdown is still better! Airachnid still looks horrible!

I think you missed the point of my joke

I've been keeping an eye out for specific Microns. Still waiting for an individual release of Airachnid's.
Robogeek28
Liking Swerve more and more.


Airachnid is still crap though.
gunthetra
quite like swerve. wish I was quick enough to preorder it from one of my usual Japanese sites.

Airachnid still looks putrid. That micron's okay but if anything, I'll wait for it to get a recolored release.
Rod
Just swung by TRU and got Swerve... this chunky little bastard is so cool! Still waiting on Reprolabels to come out with replacement stickers though
Arashistorm
Are those Dark Energon stickers that come with Swerve? Anyone know why?

Heheheheh. That's how I've been approaching that purchase.
Tranzilla
I actually like those little Microns over the figs themselves. First look at Swerve's though and I swear if they molded that in purple with a yellow/gold chest it would look Insecticon-ish. Will have to pick them up separately as I already have the US Airachnid.

Swerve's colors just don't inspire me enough to get him over Breakdown. The head looks pretty good, though.
Feralstorm
I want to call Swerve 'Mr. Angry Sunglasses".

Gotta hand it to the photographer - managed to mask a surprising amount of suck out of the Airachnid toy.
agentofprime
Swerve looks good I can't wait to get him.
scypris115
Not really liking swerves head.. seems a bit simplistic
[Wing_Saber-X]
meh for Swerve, and a pretty huh- wtf - Arachnia/ Airrachnid looks decent somehow..
snoopcow
tsk , wuts wrong wif youse boyz, RED GOES FASTAAAA!

Can I be forgiven for thinking of Ironhide when looking at Swerve's vehicle form?

What's all this about the Breakdown mold isn't comming stateside?

I've got my Prime Wheeljack already,,, but the rest of the entire Prime line is looking like a pass for me. Even Optimus is a yawner. (I got to play with my nephew's, admittedly broken, toy. It seemed rather fragile and monochromatic)
RatTrap1985
Neither figure is a must have. I did check BBTS and the preorder for swerve is already sold out so some people must love the look.
Jerrymiru
Great, now Airachnid comes with a little Dung Beetle.
But oddly I like the engines on the Alt mode though.

Swerve looks good though.

Well, her mold is shit, after all. He was probably drawn to it naturally.

You're not alone. I'm surprised they didn't try to make this into Ironhide instead of Swerve.
Galva12
This could make a perfectly serviceable Ironhide, Perfect dare I say it! Oh well....

I think you mean "A little Dung Beetle comes with a piece of shit call Airachnid"

Airachnid should take the name Shitpiece.
TrueNomadSkies
Can't put my finger on who that Swerve head reminds me of, but I'm sure it'll come to me sooner or later...

Because they already made a Prime Ironhide design. Takara will be releasing Ironhide later on.

I just Ordered Swerve

More pics of airachnid, showing that having two of her, and using the arms micron ports, you can make a fairly decent spider-leg mode.

Steroid Prime
YAY AM wins over Hasbro for once

spider leg mode makes this figure half way decent but you need to buy two of them

Hasbro and AM airachnid have different colored legs also
Galaxy Convoy
I like the added gold details on the Airachnid. Too bad they're friggin' stickers.
Stepper
If only Airachnid can transform into Spider

Cheetimus Prime in the Radicons forum did something like this, but it's good to see that it'd be easier to do with the AM version since the ports are already there. It's a shame the rest of the figure is still so...bleh or I might actually want a second one to try that

Is the micron on the back stopping the legs from moving/spinning and the figure from falling over when in 'spider' mode?
