[edit]
Hyakurai's added 5mm peg
  • Caliber Hyakurai (Promotional Micron, July 2005)
Galaxy Force 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 5 mm post 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 5 mm-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 Galaxy Force 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.
