New images have been released of the upcoming Japanese versions of the Transformers Prime mainline toys, including the (for now) Japan only Skywarp. A recolored version of the First Edition Starscream, Skywarp also appears to come with new accessories.

Also shown in the new images are Japan's gimmick for the new line - unlike the US series emphasis on MechTech on the bigger toys and standard accessories on the Deluxes, Japan's releases all feature Arms Microns, small partner figures that transform into the weapons of the main characters - so Ratchet has a laser scalpel Arms Micron, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have partners that becomes their arm cannons, etc.

This is a real departure - it is the first time a Japanese mainline has featured this extent of different toolings for many years.
