Takara Missing Link G1 Series

I have asked before for a G1 "reissue" Arcee for a long while to complete the '86 movie/S3 Crew, so I'm watching the development of this figure hopefully!

That said, my '86 Bots are mostly the Targetmaster versions, so now I am kind of hoping for a Missing Link Headmaster Arcee, too? lol

Considering Chromedome was a far bigger deal in Japan, being the “star” of Headmasters, I feel a ML Headmaster Arcee is a higher possibility than I would have placed getting the original prototype made into toy form.

It also begs the question: Why have we never got a modern Arcee toy redecoed in G1 prototype colors? We occasionally get Lifeline and Nightbird decos, but little else. Seems like a good opportunity for a future Selects release.

Because Hasbro are cowards who don't have the strength to make the right choices 😛

And likely because, if they had, it would have been the janky Earthrise Arcee mold.

Yep, along with Mirage, Wheeljack, and the Dinobots

Makes me wonder if they're all on the "short list" of characters they're wanting to do; since honestly I'm surprised we're getting Sunstreaker next and not a more higher profile character; but if they us ML to make new "reissues" of the lost molds... they might have my attention.

Same, as iirc it's basically the T30 one, which was good. Earthrise Arcee is hilariously half done, and I'd like a Lifeline out of the SS86 mold please.

It's because he was Takaras first Transforming car toy ever. So he gets pride of place in a line like this.

-ZacWilliam, I'm sure his mold being long lost didn't hurt either

I am very tempted by both of these. The G1 cars are neat-looking cars in general, and Sunstreaker's very specific look makes for a great toy car. It'll look sharp regardless.

But I'm still hoping for a Hot Rod, or ffs a Rodimus Prime -- the latter could REALLY use some damn leg articulation (the rest, too) after all these years.

Arcee is the must buy for me, so hope she gets made. Sunstreaker is a probably yes also.

I believe there is some convention or show going on in Japan, and some of the first reveals have been two new Missing Link projects:
Sunstreaker and Arcee (based on the original prototype). I believe the 86 crew is there to show how a ML Arcee could "fit in" with the original toys.


Still got my little candle over here for Transtech...one day...maybe...
Front Paged!
