Hyakurai's added 5mm peg
  • Hyakurai (Caliber Micron, July 2005)
Hyakurai is a redeco and retool of the Armada Air Military Team Mini-Con Gunbarrel, transforming into a bomber plane, with a third six-barreled cannon mode. A 5mm peg was added to the underside of the mold's plane cockpit, allowing him to be used as a hand-held weapon as well as one mounted on a Powerlinx plug. (The Cybertron version of Wing Saber does not have standard 5mm-hole hands, and instead has to mount Hyakurai on his wrist.)
He and the other Caliber Microns were only available in July of 2005 from select stores in Japan as special promotional giveaways. Hyakurai could be obtained with the purchase of any Transformers item from either Ito Yokaido or any store that had purchased a "TF Station" affiliation.
The same mold (without the extra peg) is used by Combusta, Effect, and Sky Lynx.

Notes

  • Hirofumi Ichikawa explains that Hyakurai comes from Hyakurai-jutsu (百雷術, "The Art of Hundred Thunders"), a ninja trick employing gunpowder.
