Given the popularity of the Dinobots, and the loss of the original molds making ML a perfect opportunity for a do-over, I'll wait for Takara to get around to them.
Mayhem Transformers Discussion: United We Shelfwarm
- Thread starter unluckiness
- Start date
I'm sure at this point we can all safely guess the characters that we'll see sooner than the Dinobots...
there'll be a Starscream and a Prowl soon enough

They slid the robot head forward. That alone is the biggest sin this toy could do.
It’s the “GI Joe effect” all over again:
Given the unlimited restrictions of having to make molds, Hasbro (or TaKara, in this case) will go for the same old stuff they always do.
At least with Missing Link, they will be compellingly unique.
Although there we get the prospect of Tunnel Rat amongst the "Best Ofs" and callbacks.
Hmmm. Perhaps there will be a Missing Link Bludgeon?
Seekers are all but guaranteed, since they're popular AND come with plenty of repaint and remold options to milk the mold.
The Datsuns are pretty much the Autobot version of Seekers, so same deal.

Wonder how they’ll manage the Seekers. Optimus set the precedent that the fists don’t partsform but the seekers are pretty much all partsforming. If they can pull off a non partsforming transfomation that looks like the old toy inboth modes, that’d be insane.
The fists are the hard part, I think. The wings don't really need to be removed, there's plenty of space in the nose for the landing gear, and nobody will really care about the guns coming off and reattaching.
Yeah they’d have to come up with new engineering since the original transformation doesn’t leave any room for the arms.
They may have backed themselves into a corner by getting rid of the partsforming on Prime's fists. Sometimes that's just not going to be possible.
Not only are the fists smaller, but the arms as a whole are skinnier and shorter despite the folding fists trick. It was a neat trick but I can't imagine how it could work with the G1 toy proportions.
Fill out the bottom of the jet more and have them fold through the top? It would make the bottom of the jet bulkier, but the bottoms of those jets are slabs of kibble anyway.
They could get weird with it and put part of the forearms inside the guns, but that falls back into partsforming.

I assume they wouldn't want to change the jet mode that much. I wouldn't mind if they took some liberties, especially if they fixed all the weird gaps while they're at it, but that's just not Missing Link's mission.
I joined to order Omega Prime which was double the price at local channels. I have no other use of it.
I got Energon Arcee and Battle Ravage yesterday.
Weird ass design choice to only have Arcee's elbows bend inwards tbh.

It's for archery poses. Even though the bow doesn't have a string.
i mean uhh why do they give fembot toys high heels yeah that's it
I always just treated her little little flipper wrists as Also Elbows
