Takara Tomy Transformers Missing Link C-08 Arcee

Lost dreams link across time! The Arcee in Animation Colors joins the virtual revival "Missing Link" series, which might have existed in that era. What if an unreleased Arcee had been marketed with full poseability? This product imagines exactly that, maintaining the sizing, texture, and nostalgia of the era in a completely new design!

In 1986, a non-transformable styrofoam prototype of the phantom Arcee had gotten as far as product development but never reached release. What if the product development had continued? Under this concept, the basic structure using size and some die-cast alloy is newly equipped with a transformation mechanism tailored to 1986 toys. The ideal Arcee toy is finally here, incorporating joint movement for posing and gimmicks from the anime. The missing piece that Transformers fans around the world have long awaited is finally here. This product is based on the C-07 Arcee (prototype), recreating pink/white colors familiar from the anime. The head design is based on mid-preparation drafts depicted in some anime episodes and overseas comics, differing in shape from C-07. While thoroughly pursuing styling interpreted from existing materials, each joint is constructed in a modern fashion, allowing freedom in posing. A small laser gun from "2010" is included, different in shape from C-07, which can be mounted on the rear in vehicle mode. The robot body comes with the familiar "Secret Emblem" that reveals a faction mark when warmed with a finger. This product includes foil decals inspired by period designs. The back is equipped with a joint hole for a separately sold stand, enabling display in action poses. The package illustration is newly drawn with a period-style image, also featured on the included collection card. The homage to period style extends to the package and styrofoam tray, reigniting the excitement of opening a Transformers product in the 1980s.
