Toys

Prime

The Arms Microns were only released in Japan. Due to the... interesting variety of Arms Microns, they will be tackled here as groups.

Promotional campaign Arms Microns

The first Arms Microns made available were released as giveaway exclusives, usually with the purchase of larger toys. All of these Microns are redecos of prior toys.


Gashapon Arms Microns

A completely new set of molds were created for a set of Arms Microns distributed mainly through Gashapon "capsule toy" machines. A ten-piece "Arms Micron Box" containing all four molds was released on March 21, 2012.

Pack-in Arms Microns

For the Japanese Prime line proper, all Deluxe and Voyager-scale releases came with their own Arms Micron, replacing the accessories from the Hasbro versions. Each Micron transforms into a weapon modeled after the character's in-show weapon (with a few exceptions for non-show and repeat characters). These Microns were unpainted and unassembled, coming attached to plastic runners and requiring customer-applied stickers for deco. Each one of the pack-in Microns also has a removable clear-plastic "gem"; these gems are part of an as-of-yet-explained game/play-pattern.

The Autobot Microns all transform from weapons to humanoid robots. Their names are (mostly) initials based on the first two English letters of their partner's name.


The Decepticon Microns, however, all transform from weapons to animalistic robots, and are given names based on their animal-form.
