Transformers Prime has made its Japanese debut! The show is accompanied in Japan by an intro made up of clips from the series, accompanied by a wonderfully out of place theme song. According to 2005 Boards member Sprocket the Arms Micron theatre segments are low budget CGI, with basically the three weapons floating around for the whole sequence, so probably your typical omake segment. In terms of voices, Starscream is less Steve Blum menacing and more flamboyant, Bumblebee is the same as ever, and Arcee likes to say "this is / you are the worst" a whole lot.

All the characters also say "Arms Up" when deploying their weapons, and "TRANSFORMMMM!" when transforming, even the Vehicons, which you might arguably have expected from previous Japanese Transformers dubs.

Check out the intro and ending credits videos below - notice also the ending credits show a "next time" segment in the credits themselves, a nice touch but not as seamlessly integrated as other examples of the style, such as the Tales of the Abyss anime.
