Transformers Missing Link Grimlock Teased

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Jan 5, 2026 at 8:13am CST 1,926 views
Thanks to Takara, we have a teaser image for the next figure in the missing link line: Grimlock!

Missing Link has become quite a line since its humble beginnings, bringing the original G1 toys straight up to date with modern articulation while maintaining the look of their original 1980's toys. With recent figures including a re-do of Sunstreaker, a at-long-last G1 Arcee, and soon to be releasing Ultra and Delta Magnus, they are truly diving in to give us some really good updates to the classics.

Check out the teaser image below, and watch this space for the full reveal, coming soon!

Any guesses on improved articulation, materials and/or tampos application?
And price?

Takara will do anything to avoid releasing a bonafide Decepticon.

Nifty as the entire Missing Link line is, they're just too expensive....

Will Takara provide the option to have the Autobot insignia in front of the head (instead of the chest), just like on the box art?

Look, there are other sites for responsible behavior.

This Grimlock look neat. He may be as expensive as Sunstreaker at the bare minimum.

I'll try and pick up grimlock, they have fixed the head being too far back on the g1 toy. Would have been nice to get a red sword with him too since it will no doubt be pricey.
I've not even looked at picking up delta magnus yet and completely forgot about sun streaker

The sword is chrome silver because that's how it was in the toy's original Diaclone release.

Between this and all the things done to Ultra Magnus, it seems like Missing Link has a secondary objective of making these toys be like what they would have been had Hasbro not cheapened out and cut costs on the original toys back in the day with removing accessories and more premium paint applications that were present on the original Diaclone releases.

Isn't Carly already linked with ML Delta Magnus?
Hope she's getting repeat royalty fees.
A missed opportunity for Kiss Player characters...
