Robot Kingdom has posted up some in-package images of Prime Arms Micron Wheeljack and Dreadwing, which have just recently been released in Japan. There’s not a whole lot else to see with these, as Dreadwing is largely the same as his US release – only his wing stripes are stickers, the rest is painted / tampo’ed details. Wheeljack got a couple more ports added to his design for attaching Arms Microns to, and almost all his paint details are now stickers, leaving the base robot pure white. The box backs show a couple of new Arms Micron combo weapons – Wheeljack tries to out-sword Road Caesar in the “stick three swords together to make a bigger sword” department, while Dreadwing combines his own Arms Micron with those of Knock Out and Airachnid to form a truly monstrous giant bazooka cannon.

That is why i am disappointed man.

Is there a chance the head on Dreadwing is solid plastic? Instead of rubber which I have heard Hasbro used I mean.

Fixed for you…

Erm, not much difference in the blue plastic used, eh? Glad I passed on AM Dreadwing. I'll stick to my repainted Hasbro one, thanks. Although the Shark Gun Micron is SO BW Depthcharge-centric, I'll be getting that separately as soon s it goes on sale by itself.

Wait, Dreadwing's head is black on the toy, but blue on the packaging.
DPrime
Me too – what's the verdict here? Which one's better?
Usually that's pretty easy to tell, but I can't.

the beast wars depthcharge hommage with dreadwing is so obvious with this minicon weapon now, cant unsee it

Given that Wheeljack's all white… Easy Battlecharger non-repaint…? >_>
Also… want the microns… not the figures. Got the Hasbro version and am satisfied by them for the moment. Bring on the AMW packs!

Except I don't think it's meant to be the giant gun. I think it's meant to be Dreadwing's pistol which you see him loading up some ammo in at the start of Crossfire, right before Megatron summons him to go on the mission

I'd love to see a side by side of AM Dreadwing with PRID

Yup. I guess they didn't want to do another Scout-sized minicon like Hades to approximate Dreadwing's giant gun. Too bad the minicon at least didn't reference his sword (since the Hasbro version isn't included either). I do like the shark minicon on its own though.
I keep waiting for some announcement that Dr. Wu has a gun/sword upgrade coming for Dreadwing and Skyquake.

Chest "windshield", head, wheels, all that's painted.

None of the AM voyagers do. They come with an approximation of their guns…and Dreadwing's is the poorest of them all.

Seems like Dreadwing does not comes with its big machine gun as per in the show
Deceptigtar
dont think so which sucks, wheeljack still comes with his two swords though which is weird then.

Loving that Dreadwing. Does it come with the sword?

Unstickered Wheeljack with ears shaved off = easy Prime Downshift?
