Toys

Prime

• Ratchet (Deluxe, March 21 2012)
  • Set ID number: AM-04
  • Micron ID number: M-04
  • Energon Crystal: HP Pure

Available only with the Japanese release of Ratchet, R.A. transforms into a blade-weapon modeled after Ratchet's scalpel-swords (which were omitted from the Japanese toy). Like all pack-in Arms Microns, he is an unpainted, unassembled "kit" figure. He has a removable clear-plastic gem, which is part of an as-of-yet-explained game/play feature.

While he can be combined with other Arms Microns to form any number of outlandish weapons, he is specifically called out as forming the blade-tip of the Star Saber with O.P. and B.2.

• Shadow R.A. (Promotional Micron, 4-28-2012)
  • Energon Crystal: HP Fake Dark

A transparent-black version of R.A. with a red Energon Crystal was made available on April 28 at participating Aeon stores with the purchase of AM-01 Optimus Prime. Just like the pack-in version, Shadow R.A. comes as an unassembled kit.
