YouTuber Baltmatrix has posted a video review of the Transformers Prime Arms Micron AM-17 Jet Vehicon onto the video sharing website.
We actually picked up this figure outselves from Kapow-Toys at Auto Assembly 2012 and we must say that he is a great addition to the Transformers Prime line. You'll need to make sure you attach the stickers though or the toy does look a little dull. We expect this figure, along with the normal Vehicon to become future Botcon army builders.
You can view the video review below.
