Takara-Tomy's Twitter account has provided some new images of five more campaign exclusive Microns, mostly based on recolored Power Core Combiner Mini-Cons. Of the five shown in this tweet, Autobot Peaceman is one we've seen before. The others seem to include a clear yellow and a solid gray version of Leadfoot's Pinpoint, a solid gray version of Blowpipe, and a clear green version of Universe Cyclonus' Targetmaster, Nightstick.

A further tweet confirmed that the clear yellow Pinpoint would be named "Firebolt Clear Yellow Version" and would be exclusively available at the New Generation World Hobby Fair 2012. Takara-Tomy recently updated their own website with information on this event, including details of how children would be able to vote for their favorite Transformers Prime character and would receive a Micron gift for doing so. While not named on the Takara-Tomy page, it's likely that this Firebolt Clear Yellow Edition is the exclusive Micron which they refer to.

The solid gray version of Pinpoint in itself is interesting as it was used in the Generations 2011 comic strip as a Targetmaster partner for an as-yet unmade Classics Artfire. However given its name is Firebolt it seems that logically it might actually be intended as a companion piece to the upcoming United Rodimus Prime, whose 1987 Targetmaster toy had a partner named Firebolt.
