    I love the fact that the Arms Microns can be combined into larger weapons.

    The only issue I have these is that once combined, the weapons are too heavy for the figures to hold.

    More Arms Microns? Ooooo.

    Seriously, I am completely hooked on the modelbuilding aspect of them. They're compact/simple enough that I can build them while watching TV or doing other stuff, and can fit in a knapsack for easy transport to be assembled elsewhere.

    I do like the colors on the Decepticon microns (a bit less the Autobot versions). Looking forward to picking these up at month's end.

    Oh yeah, it's the one big issue with these things! As cool as huge guns are it's like that bit in the Simpsons where Hans Moleman pulls out the huge knife "uh-oh, down I go"

    Overcompensating much? :p 

    Reminds me of the Armada Minicon Weapons. The Star Saber, Skyboom Shield and the Requiem Blaser.

    Japan sure does like their ugly crap that combines with other ugly crap, to form a giant mess.

    I have most of these moulds, except for three, but.... I'm so going to buy more of these. They're awesome. Plus, I can finally get another Micron for Ironhide, so he can have two canons (and I prefer them over Kup's regular canons, although to be fair, they can't attached to the truck bed in vehicle mode in the same way as Kup's can, but oh well). But then again, I kinda want Ironhide to have two canons of the same colour.... Damn you, TakaraTomy. Your marketing isn't Bandai levels of evil.... yet.... but it's still bad enough.

    Not too keen on the Advanced Star Saber, but the Gravity Planet Bow is kind of neat. I'm more interested in these to have the individual Microns, as there are a number of these I don't have versions of yet, and to have some more fodder for my own weapon combinations.

    The Bow looks pretty cool.

    The Star Saber looks okay, but looks more like one sword placed on top of another. But hey, we can call it ASS! :p  (Advanced Star Saber)

    I can't guarantee that two will fit side by side due to how wide they are but judging by one they do fit fine you just plug them into the circle part his foot hinges on and not the post hole in his actual foot - if you find it's a bit loose just put a little dip of varnish on the inside lip of the hole his foot attaches too.

    I think two of them will fit side by side but they might have to splay out a little bit.

    I'd strongly suggest everyone ignore the Starscream's Micron's weapon mode it's silly - - you can look on it as a storage mode or claw I suppose - but it seems to be better suited as a bow than a claw to me.

    Change the year from 2013 to 2012. Soundwave is the only thing coming out in 2013 that they have on their page at this time.
