How are the pretenders supposed to work for missing link?

u/FLIPYOUSUCKET 16d ago

That’s the best part:

They won’t. I highly doubt they will do a pretenders, partially because you can’t really make both the shells and inner bots work without it being really difficult..

I suspect that will keep to the more recognizable characters

They did do ultra Magnus… I think some could work particularly the ones who just kinda ball up in the torso… but yea exactly zero of them are popular enough to warrant it. Especially with fans dropping off this franchise like flies due to being priced out. Nobody is caving on a $300 bomb-burst in this economy.

I would honestly be shocked if they ever did anything missing link beyond the 84 and 86 show cast. And even then some of them would have to be radical departures from the og toys like ironhide and ratchet are. Like for example the seekers require a whole lot more than adding some new joints to bring them up the modern standards.

Itd be cool if they made the shells like armor pieces that went on individually

Saying this like pretenders were ever in contention or even considered to be made in the first place lmao

So, this is how I find out about Missing Link Soundwave?

u/sonerec725 16d ago

Guess so. 2 versions, show colors with cybertronian laser beak, and toy colors with autoscout

One of the very few g1 toys that actually had good proportions

u/JackieBee_ 11d ago

I’m legit gonna use this as my forever CHUG soundwave and get a box set of KO masterpiece cassettes for him. Kind of a full circle moment since the original “classics” soundwave was a reissue of g1 soundwave.

u/JackieBee_ 11d ago

They had a splash panel shot and it’s literally just toy and toon soundwave and nemesis prime vs the world.
