Looks like its the PRID mold sans translucent plastic, plus OP and the three upcoming Microns that form the shield.

1) Man, there are a TON of reveals today.

B) Man, this is getting expensive.

You could always...not get every deco a mold gets released in.

(It's not even a good re-deco, it's just the old stand-by 'paint it in gold'.)

Okay, molded, but it still looks kinda boring to me regardless.

(Points for molding them in different shades of gold, at least.)

I think you underestimate how much I like Mini-Cons, and the Arms Microns in particular.

At any rate... looks like we have confirmed names for the shield trio! Prowl, Sais(?) and Jazz. Huh.

For me, it's a question of whether or not OP is worth the $20 that he'd contribute to the price since I can get Prime for $20 pretty much anywhere and the shield Mini-Cons for $24 at the most.

The answer to that question is: probably not.

Hold on... looks like there's more! He comes with a papercraft trailer that hooks up to the vehicle mode, can carry Microns and was apparently designed to also carry Bumblebee in alt-mode.

And the shield mode is indeed called the Cosmotector, which was the Japanese name for the Skyboom Shield.

.. wait. No. It's not "Prowl" and "Jazz".

Their names, phonetically, are "Pral" and "Jayz". The kana is very definitely different from "Prowl" and "Jazz".

Well. That makes things easier as far as the wiki goes, at least.

Actually, he DOES have translucent plastic. It's just black.
