I know it probably isn't meant to be but I'd like to imagine all those Movie characters behind Arcee are there as a wink to the future ML versions....
ML Ultra Magnus..!
ML Rodimis Prime! (Quite likely actually..?
ML Wheelie??!

Well that's absolute rubbish. Where's the pink and white Chromedome that we were promised..?!
Ah, who am I kidding...
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
I HAVE ASCENDED!
And now we have this. Can I dream... can I dare to dream... of a future reissue... from The Rebirth..?
(No, because that wasn't in Japan at all.)

A G1-esque Arcee would be EVERYTHING. I'm never doubting your predictions again. |

Hate to be that guy, but the Arcee does nothing for me. But Sunstreaker now... Oh, the bastards knew how to get me...

That is certainly an advanced looking mock up of a non-transformable Arcee...
Not sure if either of these are for me, but they are quite impressive.

Important to note that I don't think Sunstreakers legs are fully extended. They're shorter than the original and I see no knees.

Missing Link Arcee and Sunstreaker revealed. Yes please. Amazing - just as you forsaw. She looks suitably brickish. |

Man I'm super excited by this line. What other unreleased prototypes from G1 do we know about? I'd just about die if they released the Unicron one.

Double Pretenders? I think there was a grey prototype of Monkey Optimus or am I thinking of the Botcon toy?

I think Spin Out is a shoe-in as an update to the very first Car Robot. Hopefully in Diaclone packaging with a Dianaut!

Why does every single Cliffjumper toy have to have that damn bazooka? I am sick to death of that stupid bazooka.
He used it one time, in one scene, in one episode. It was a throw away prop that was fabricated just for that scene an has no relevance to the character. It wasn't an iconic image, like the OptiAxe or MegaMace, it didn't matter. It wasn't even on screen for 20 seconds.
But we are now stuck with it forever, and as demonstrated with ER, if Cliffjumper is the original mold, then it is baked in and used for every single character repaint and retool going forward.
I hate that damn bazooka.

Probably cos it's the only other tool or weapon anyone can remember him using!
I'm fed up with it too, but there's some parts in the Earthrise one that do have some uses. Not got on to hand but IIRC there's one bit that acts as a gender changer between pegs and holes

I hate awkward accessories. Particularly guns and swords that cannot be properly held or are too big. Siege Ironhide's hammer gun is my most hated accessory of recent times. Followed by both (seige and er) Megatron swords.
ER CJ's bazooka has a redeeming value that it breaks down jnto actual (if unremarkably boring) normal guns. But you're still left with a ton of losable bits.
The redeeming value in ML CJ's bazooka will be in that I won't get rid of this package and can just leave it in the box. Like 90% of the accessories that comes with any MPs or 3Ps that I buy.

I remember Cliffjumper's glass gas gun more than the bazooka thing.
