Takara-Tomy have updated their Transformers Prime site with new high-res official images of Arms Micron AM-10 Bulkhead with B.H. and AM-11 Arcee with A.R.C.
The Arms Micron series toys each feature new Micron posts to attach their Arms Microns to – they also feature the “build it yourself” Arms Micron model kits and decal sheets. According to the new pages, B.H. and A.R.C. can be combined with Cliffjumper’s C.L. to form a “Super Galaxy Launcher”
Read on to check out our mirror of the images.

Am so glad that the rims are painted,Bulkhead sure look great with stickers on

Reprolabels NEEDS to get on this and make stickers for the PRID line like Bulkhead here and his windows. Shows it CAN make the more basic paint apps Hasbro version look even better. Come on Repro…

Bulkhead looks better than the Hasbro version IMO, but not sure if I'm going to bite yet.

I think Arms Microns are able to be combined any number of ways with awesome results. that was the plan from the start. very nifty and worthwhile to get most of them, IMHO.

Strictly speaking you can connect any of the weapons with anyone. So that means you can also combine Airachnid, Arcee and Starscream's weapons.
But according to the pages the Arms Microns for Arcee and Bulkhead get a canonical combination with Cliffjumper's one.

^This. Or to put it only a little more mildly, this Bulkhead looks a bit better to me with each update on it so far, particularly in robot mode. Reiterating any general comments about the Arms Micron ports would sound like blubbering at this point, and for what they are, those on the sides look well integrated for what they are. Only the sunroof turned AM port looks a bit out of place. That and being festooned with presumably three Autobot symbols in vehicle mode, but that'll take me down the topic of what is and isn't show accurate, which again, has probably already been ably discussed for both figures here.

Gotta admit, these are the first pics that make RID Bulkhead look pretty decent – not as show-accurate as the FE, obviously, but a decent looking toy in of itself. A few paint apps (or failing that, sharpie pen effects) on the Hasbro version that replicate the sticker details like on the windows should make all the difference. Also, Hasbro REALLY need to take notes on how to make stock photography look good.

Is it me or does Bulkheads micron resemble the Rock Lord Nugget?
Sumner Sturgeon
Such a worthwhile contribution to the conversation.
Anyway…I'm liking the window stickers and painted rims on Bulkhead (assuming the photo depicts the final version– we weren't sure as to Terrorcon Cliff's actual colours for a while due to conflicting photos), but the typical cost of importing a Takara Voyager probably still puts it out of my range. I'm gonna stick with plan A and grab the Micron once it becomes available individually, and just give it to Hasbro Bulkhead.
Mewtwo
I agree. The window stickers really make a difference compared to the RID one. Also the wheel rims being painted.
Cheebs
Bulkhead's window stickers work abolute wonders in both modes.
The stupid grill sticker…not so much.
Cheebs
They gave Arcee giant puffy pink nipples.
But they put them in the wrong place.

Stickers are tacky Takara! Unless they're reprolabels…

Arcee, Cliffjumper and Bulkhead's weapons connect?
Must resist joke…

Arcee's micron reminds me of Elita-1.

I think Bulkhead looks really cool.
