While the Assassin Force in M.I.C.R. are out to eradicate the Resistance Microman that oppose the rule of Hidou and his gang. This new Assassins Force is a vigilante group that operate outside the law and they works only for the average Microman who are suffering under the violence, oppression of the new tyranny power that disguises as "justice".

MICROMAN 2006 - ASSASSINS VS XADO

Takara begin 2006 for the core Microman line with two new series in April. There are total of six new figures, three for Microman side and three for Acroyear side. Microman series are called the Assassins Force and are based on last year Microman Falcon Assassin Force concept. Acroyear series are called XADO (in keeping with the letter "x" theme). XADO is a pun on Japanese word "jado" which roughly translates to evil way or evil path. Both XADO and Assassins Force are the first Microman 200X to have all Japanese names and are heavily influenced by Japanese theme and designs.

ASSASSIN FORCE MICROMAN

The new Assassin Force Microman consist of AF-11 Shouma, AF-12 Kyoushiro and AF-13 Yume - a lone Microlady in the group. Unlike Acroyear side, Microlady use the same designation as the male team members. Assassins Force theme is darkness and light, the dual nature of these new Microman. On the surface they are just like any ordinary Microman, but secretly they are assassins that hunt down the Acroyears and oppose the XADO.

Microman Shouma

Shouma is a clear bluish-gray Microman Full Action Body type with silver and white trims. Like the other Assassin Force, Shouma comes with minimal armors and a single weapon - the double-necks guitar call "Dark Beat". Dark Beat has hidden sword inside the top part and a dagger tip claw-weapon in the lower neck. The guitar come attached to metal chain and is another "borrow" design from a popular anime. The armor and weapon set for Shouma fit well and the figure has nice joints and free of defects that plague many of the last year series.
