We now have official images for the previously glimpsed Missing Link Optimus Prime. As expected there are two versions, one exclusively toy based and one with a cartoon inspired deco. Check them out.
Translated product description:
Lost dreams link beyond time!
The virtual reprint “Missing Link” series that may have existed in that era will be launched to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the birth of Transformers! What if the
original Convoy was fully poseable? The size, texture, and nostalgia of that time have been recreated with a completely new design!
The size, deformation pattern, and part of the die-cast alloy are used in the basic configuration of the original Convoy toy, while the joints for posing are also included. Introducing the ideal convoy commander toy that updates the gimmicks drawn in animation and animation.
Even the packaging and accessories are thoroughly tributed to those days, and more than the reprint version, the impression when opening the Transformers product in the 80’s is revived.
It is possible to completely transform the fist by reconsidering the replacement of the fist when transforming, which was a regret with the product at the time, and storing it inside without removing it. In addition, it is possible to change each joint, which was limited to posing at that time, to a movable type and pose it freely.
The matrix can be stored in the chest as a reproduction from the anime scene. The newly designed fist has movable fingers, so you can remove the matrix and hold it in your hand. The anti-aircraft gun in the container can be separated from the container and rolled to run, just like in the anime. The reconnaissance buggy “Roller” has a warning light drawn in the anime by reversing the rear part.
The laser rifle has been changed to a specification where the original grip part is inserted into the fist. The weapon “Energy Ax”, which is impressive in the opening video of the anime, is also included and can be attached to the fist.
In addition, a red transparent “secret film” is included, and the play that can be deciphered by overlaying it on the spec chart printed on the back of the package is also restored.
The familiar “secret emblem” is also attached to the robot body, and when you warm it with your finger, the corps mark will appear.
The robot body was sculpted into a three-dimensional form, which was a two-dimensional expression with stickers at the time.
An optional joint hole for a stand can be added to the back of the convoy, allowing you to decorate it with an action pose.
Two types of license plate user stickers that can reproduce the Japanese box art and overseas box art of the time are added, and a newly designed collection card is also included.
[Contents of set] Robot body (1), container part (1), energy ax (1), laser rifle (1), hose (1), energy supply pump (1), energy supply adapter (1), roller (1) ), roller tire (runner) (1), missile (runner) (1), matrix (1), seal (1), secret film (1), collection card (1), instruction manual (1), leaflet ( 1),
C-01 Convoy is Yen or $121.37.
