Acroyear X - AX-14 AcroBiom

Microman 2004 AX-14 AcroBiom was the fourth and last member of the Acroyear X series. (Acroyear X was the evil counterpart to the Microman Master Force). The designs of the new Acroyears followed the King Walder designs (enemy of Henshin Cyborg) rather than that of the Acroyears from the original 1970's Microman line. Because of this design concept, the new Acroyear-X might take some getting used to, but since the new Microman designs were more akin to the Henshin Cyborgs, having the bad guy followed the same design philosophy made a lot more sense than turning these villains into the mechanical beings from vintage Microman. However, as in Microman Master Force series, Acroyear-X had plenty of design elements that were direct homage to both Microman and Henshin Cyborg villains. AcroBiom was probably the most unconventional looking of the four Acroyears. He had a large monster head with long "pony tail"-like tail that sprout out from the top of his head. His monster head, shield and spear could be seen as a take on Microman Amazon Acroyear but of the four Biom probably had the least design elements from the old series and the most organic looking.

AcroBiom had all clear dark purple color body with blue hexagon shape cluster to look like scales. The hexagon shape reference appeared throughout the new series and probably eluded to the nano-tecnology background story of the new series. (Takara also used hexagon shape extensively for the short live MYCLONE series) The hexagon shape might represent a carbon molecule, referencing Acroyear's carbon based makeup. Also the hexagon shape with atom symbol was old Microman Zone era logo. AcroBiome also had two cutter bracelets, one on each side of the arm. He was the only one that kept parts of his chrome armor in the "naked" mode. The back part of the armor had removable piece that could form a shield while the serpent tail can be detach and became a fork weapon. The most unusual design for Biom was that his head can be remove from the body and form a separate snake (which left the Acroyear body in headless stage). The shield also used to attach to the top of AcroBiome head to gave the serpent head the cobra-like appearance.

The clear blue serpent body part was very nice (it was originally suppose to be mostly solid blue) and very poseable with the ball joints design. The serpent design and large monster head couple with blue metallic color gave AcroBiome the most fearsome and vicious appearance.

Acroyear X - AX-14 AcroBiom

AcroBiom was the most vicious and destructive of the Acroyears. The body possessed the most poisonous venom from snakes and very fatal to those that get struck by him. His head can be separated and function as an independent entity.
