On a more serious note, these don't look half bad. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford a Japanese exclusive, but I can dream

This really must stop. The Autobot microns are ANOTHER Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. The cons actually get something interesting and different that duplicity makes a modicum of sense.
I hope Hasbro does pick this up and sells them individually, because I'm not getting suckered into buying more goddamn primes and bees. Thank god I used BBTS, where preorder management is painless.

These are $4.00 each along with Gobu and Zado at Captured Prey. It doesn't get much more affordable than that.

I dont see a point in targetmasters that transform into mini versions of non targetmaster characters.

No, these are vending machine capsule toys. The ones coming with Optimus and BB are different ones.Mkall wrote:Are these same minicons going to be included with the Takara Prime figures, or are those going to be different minicons as well?

But, when you think about it, making them resemble iconic characters may help make them sell better with the younger audiences.
