5/14/13: Toy Review: Arms Micron Nemesis Prime with Giza

When the evil organization known as M.E.C.H. wanted to create a Transformer of their own, they picked the form that would deliver the highest psychological impact: that of Autobot leader Optimus Prime! Armed with his Micron partner Giza, Nemesis Prime is a type of evil the Autobots have never faced before. Check out my review of this newest iteration of an "evil Optimus Prime"! (1 comment)


5/12/13: Toy Review: Arms Micron Frenzy with Dago

Frenzy is one of the most loyal Decepticons out there but that doesn't mean he isn't prone to rages whenever someone questions his strength or bravery. He'll use his sonic powers or Dago as his weaponry and take down any Autobot who dares to challenge him! Today's second "Arms Micron" review is for Frenzy with Dago. (0 comments)


5/12/13: Toy Review: Arms Micron Rumble with Dago

Rumble may not be the biggest or most powerful Decepticon around, but what he lacks in size and strength he more than makes up for with his ill temper and attitude. He backs this up with Dago who transforms into a blaster and a piledriver! Today's review takes a look at the Japanese exclusive Arms Micron Rumble with Dago. (0 comments)
