A mysterious image recently appeared on AC Toys. The image appears to be Atari Hitotonari with a mysterious figure in the background. Takara often releases images like this to tease fans with upcoming figures. The month, August is also mentioned. Could this shadowy character be the next KISS figure, due to be released this August?

Doesn't look like Kiss Players. They've got the creepy girl...but I thought the bots were meant to be Alts, and that shadow doesn't look like any Alt I've seen.

Could this new figure be connected to the KISS storyline? This was taken recently from Teletran 1's website. It mentions, Zangetsu, Angela, and Stardust, who are the Sparkbots. Could this new figure be from 1985? A reissue perhaps?

In the year 2006 or 2007, Zangetsu, Angela and Stardust suddenly appeared in the sky above the "Kiss Players" singing group at the Brave Maximus Fortress concert of their world tour. The Sparkbots introduced themselves to the performers telepathically and insisted that the three humans in the group kiss them.

When Atari Hitotonari, Shao-Shao Li and Marissa Faireborn complied, they were engulfed by a bright light and transported back to the Sherman Dam in the year 1985.

that looks suspiciously like a first wave Targetmaster figure...maybe a gun for Autolooper?

Looks like a PowerMaster, HeadMaster, or TargetMaster to me. (Animation model, that is)

my first impression was the legends of cyberton optimus (you know those little 3" ones) but after reading everyone posts, is it possible its a head/power/target master and well be getting the larger figure too? nah thats probbaly just wishful thinking...

Exactly what I was thinking.

I don't think that there is any doubt about it, that is a Targetmaster, and looks one that was released with Hot Rod, but I suppose it could have been Kupp.

Hotrod's Targetmaster:

Kupps Targetmaster. It looks exactly like this one.

Yup. It's a targetmaster repaint. Could be interesting.

Yup, definately a Targetmaster repaint or something

by **Roboto750** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 7:22 am

Targetmaster was the first thing that came to my mind too.

I think it looks like 'Power-Up', the Real Gear figure... except much much smaller...

Guys... this picture is OLD! It was shown as a teaser for the Atari and Autolooper set... you know, the Micron Autorooper figure, the small one.

by **OptimusIsHot** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 1:11 pm

I don't know if it's Autorooper because he has no doors on his sides but I do agree that this could be a mini figure like Autorooper that we might get a bigger verison of later.

I wonder what they have to do to this possible TM to make him fire....
