Takara Missing Link G1 Series

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Hate Plague Ultra Magnus confirmed.

 

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Are the red eyes indicative of anything or is it just for contrast?

It's not Ultra Magnus, it's Ultra Nemesis.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

There's a good chance this'll be the first missing link I miss. Not because I don't like Magnus but this feels likely to be Expensive.

I mean they've all been pricey but Magnus feels like he's like to be a step more given size and complexity.


Grimlock I would need, Magnus isn't as important to me. I can probably let him go, maybe put him on a wishlist for the holidays if he stays available.

Do you think it would be possible to use the upcoming multipack Magnus (the mini ML version) with SS86 Magnus, perhaps with a bit of modding and/or an upgrade kit?

If they picked an eye color to give him (and didn't just leave the sockets empty like the G1 version), maybe they chose red because of the vintage commercial?

Or it's just contrast.

 

[unluckiness]

I figured they’d either go white to represent the part of the inner robot head peeking through the eyeholes or black to represent the endless depths of his empty soul. Guess there’s precedent for red after all.

I've generally been priced out of Missing Link, but I am excited to see (from afar) how they manage Ultra Magnus.

I've only bought the KO version. It was the same with their Diaclone toys but even the recent KO Battle Convoy was far too expensive for me.

I am concerned that it will be too pricey, plus the tarrifs making it even more so....

 

[Sabrblade]

Word has it this version will even come with a blue recolor of the Powered Buggy drone that the original Diaclone figure had but which was omitted from the Transformers releases. And the drone's new name is "Deerstalker", because he's a detective.

 

[Sciflyer]

Yeah, I have always liked G1 Ultra Magnus, but I just don't "Missing Link Prices" like him.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

The price is going to suck, but I don't have a lot of confidence that waiting for something less expensive will ever pay off. Kingdom is just not adequate. I'd be satisfied with the Legacy Deluxe with a trailer, but they just sold the cab on its own. I expect they'll call it done and never make a trailer.

I don't want it to be the ONLY thing available, but I would not at all mind Hasbro having a multi-year line of literal G1 with knees (and elbows and shoulders and ankles, etc.) running alongside of the main line. I don't need the deep dives, but if they hit all the big names from the first few years of the brand, I'd be ecstatic. Megatron would have to be a tank that turns into a robot that looks like it turns into a gun, but as long as the robot mode was right, I'd be happy.
