Remember the G1 Arcee toy that didn't end up getting made? Well Takara remembers and they are currently working on finally making it a reality. Takara Tomy’s TF40 Expo is on right now and the new reveals they ahve for us are in the Missing Link line. They displayed a prototype for Missing Link Sunstreaker along with a model for Missing Link Arcee. While the prototype for Sunstreaker does transform, the one on display for Arcee does not, it is something they are still working on.

You can check out the pics below. They were first posted by the following Twitter users:

Arcee x resident evil village coming soon. At least she is tall enough to go on all the rides at cybertron land

Sunstreaker I don't care about at all.

Arcee is interesting. The wheels on the front of the robot is a choice. But it's exciting that they're gonna do a new G1 style toy! Not sure I'm going to get it, but I'm happy we're getting it.

I wonder how retro they'll go. Will they do prototype colors or final? A part of me kinda wants prototype colors since few of the movie guys match their final colors at all, but the prototype colors are so niche there's little frame of reference.

I think there's a strong possibility that they'd want to milk this for all it's worth and do both, maybe a Paradron Medic as well. Same with Sunstreaker.

If we’re somehow getting a Sentinel Prime from Optimus, I have no doubts about a Paradron Medic. But the fact that this is being made, I literally cannot contain my excitement. I hope they don’t diverge from keeping these guys looking G1 accurate, this line has some serious chops so far. :KREMZEEK:

Ohh, so excited for Sunstreaker.

Arcee is pretty cool too if it happens.

Arcee would be awesome, but I will go wild for that Sunstreaker!

I've seen a lot of people saying this. Can't believe after all these years there's actually a tangible glimmer of hope!

Not only would we get what we never got, but the things would be improved too! I know they will be ludicrously expensive, especially Unicron, but my wallet better get ready to be sacrificed to Primus!

I'm just gonna say it. That Arcee looks awful. G1 love-letter or not, it's an eyesore and I'll leave it to other collectors who have the power to see past the robot mode and still buy it...

Oh yes indeed she does. In the pure spirit of Movie G1. And I LOVE it.

I mean ... just as awful as all the other G1 movie toys, I think. It's what G1 is. It seems pretty faithful to what we might have gotten, which is the important part.

I'm on the fence on Arcee, but I'd buy the Hell out of Unicron. Awful bot mode and all!
