TakaraTomy has updated their website listings for three future Arms Micron releases: AM-27 Ultra Magnus (a redeco of the recently release Voyager Ultra Magnus with a new Arms Micron hammer), AM-28 Leo Prime (a redeco of Thundertron in colors resembling those of Lio Convoy from Beast Wars II, with a Micron companion resembling Moon, from the same show.) and AM-29 Shockwave (Who is, oddly enough, the Takara release of Generations/Fall of Cybertron Shockwave, with a new Micron in place of his pre-existing cannon). All three are due for release in December of this year.

My Powerizer Ultra Magnus' hammer is too heavy for his ball jointed shoulders to carry. I might try getting the AM version after all.

You know what. Forget Thundertron. I'd rather have Prime Alpha Trion from that even though he's not a beast. I can't believe that hadn't thought of that.
Holy Crap. I did not catch that….man Takara is on a role with these Micron homages.
Spiderus Prime
Leo Prime's Minicron is Moon,and it's awesome.
PoweredConvoy
This is what he's referring to.

The listing had both Arms Micron and a United Shockwave on it. So it might be an Asia only release of the FoC figure with more detailing or something.

I have seen somewhere,i think from TakTomy website or forgotten where is it. TakTomy is announcing the upcoming UNITED toy,including the Classic Henkei Ultra Magnus,there is 1 listing which include "Shockwave",i will try to go & find out more.
Thundershot
Link to proof? We've seen no evidence so far…
Maybe you need to find out more…
Stepper
You might want to go and find out more about the upcoming United toy?? It is because they are coming out a Shockwave under the United series.
Shatterpoint
As of now, there is no United or TG Shockwave.
Stepper
If am not wrong,they will be coming out a Shockwave too under the UNITED series ,are they using same mold or??

AM UMagnus' hammer is definitely a wanting item. Hopefully he gets to release separately. As for UM himself, I'll be picking the Hasbro version due to paint app and tampograph. Also, love the hammer gun conversion as well.

Magnus and Shockwave are now on the Want list…
RedAlert Rescue
The other colour scheme is from a videogame. I do wonder if that might be Optimus Colours or perhaps the grey & green of the book one – but I also realised with him having a facial hair look perhaps they should make him as Alpha Trion ?
(Remember the Alpha Trion made from Beast Machines Snarl ?)
Hosta
the magnus hammer one looks cool
Sprocket
Not until I get a hilt for my Thundertron's awesome blade, dammit!
Autovolt 127
I don't think that at all. Again I'm just thinking they needed a Shockwave figure to be out in time for his Japanese debut.
Infosaur
Gah, these colors make the versions we get here stateside look so bland!
CommandoNinja13
Shockwave looks awesome.
RayTheSun
Damn, no new head for Lio Convoy/Leo Prime.
Kamijou Touma
I want that Leo Prime to go with my Lio Convoy. I love the color scheme on him.
GrimlockAutobot
So basically it's a figure that should have a head that looks somewhat like Optimus Prime but, instead looks like a pirate head with an Optimus Prime paint scheme.
FAIL.
They really should've remolded the head on Leo Prime.
Is there a 3rd party company out there that may be reading this?
