My theory is Haslab Missing Link Unicron next year for a 2026 release (and a SS86 titan class Unicron also released in 2026 that or an Autobot City/ Metroplex/ Fortress Maximus)
Arcee will get us a g1 Nightbird and or Paradon Medic.
Sticking with the movie there's that super sized hot rod prototype. Arblus and the quintessons never got g1 toys.

Cliffjumper’s sniper bazooka from the pilot episode was rubbish. It couldn’t hit a large non-moving target.
In issue #1 of the Marvel comic, Cliffjumper shot down two high-speed jets who were shooting at him on the ground with two simultaneous shots from his glass-gas gun.

I'm not excited by the prospect of ML Unicron. While it has acquired its cult appeal for many, it is still ridiculous looking and I'd be disappointed to see a slot wasted on it (even Haslab) and worried some completist tendency would creep in and make spend a lot of money on something I don't really want.
The current offerings are good, especially Sunstreaker.
I ordered yellow Prime on Omegalock the other week - he was £10 less than ID are currently asking (if he's still available there).

Same, mostly because of 'Dinobot Hunt' and his tech-spec. -Ralph "You'll be the envy of your all your friends with a boat made entirely of glass! Bought to you courtesy of my all-purpose Glass Gas gun.." I've often wondered what happened to that boat! -Ralph |

I also have no desire for that prototype unicron to become a real toy. The unobtainable Super 7 Re:Action version scratches that itch of a curiosity piece perfectly. I might be interested in BWN Unicron, though. |

As much as us olds are into the Missing Link line, I don't see it generating much interest from newer fans, and a Haslab needs a wider appeal. |

Have ordered the orange Optimus missing link, finally good to have a g1 Jugger Morph. Kapow still have preorder slots available.

If pre-orders are still available when I get paid I may cave. I may not. Who knows!

I've no interest in Sunstreaker or Arcee myself, but very well-done Missing Link! Great to see this line growing.

He's here. Looks AMAZING in packaging. I'm going to enjoy him like this a bit before opening.

I’ve become increasingly torn on this since seeing the in-package images! The contrast with the B&W packaging looks so great.

The contrast of colours really does look fantastic. I suspect it will hold its value - at least that's what I told myself when I questioned buying a yellow Prime- so might be a relatively risk free purchase??

I can't get excited by the yellow Prime.
But the possibility of Sunstreaker recolours...

But the possibility of Sunstreaker recolours... They are going to ruin us aren't they? Pissing Link Prime is here and he does look fantastic in the packaging. Will open him later. |

Arcee!
I wasn't enthused with the updated articulation but I'd love it if Missing Link also brought us unreleased concepts and prototypes. The original Unicron, Arcee, that G2 GoBot stunt lorry... Please!

And the other gobot moulds that disappeared before they could be used in the RID/Armada era.

I may have red hazed and ordered Missing Link Jugger Morph (Sentinel Prime) from Omegalock. Looking forward to it.
2024 is the year of mad Optimus/Convoy toys!

I felt fear when the courier dropped it off. The parcel box had been smashed to bits as if it had been used as a football/had heavy weights dropped on it.
Somehow, only one corner of the ML box was caved in and the styrofoam within had prevented the toy being damaged. Thankfully, it survived unscathed.
It is AMAZING!!!! The orange really pops in-hand and I love the green Matrix.
So glad to have this artefact (previously only documented by Ecosse Comics) back in the wild.
