T-Spark Event Shows off Nucleon Quest Super Convoy, Macross7 Basara Prime, AM Predaking, ML Arcee

Takara Tomy held a special T-Spark Zone 2025 event this week, revealing a number of upcoming releases that have been previously teased.

The biggest of the reveals is Adamas Machina AMT-2 Predaking. Things are still early, only revealing a gray model and photos, but what we can see is interesting. It's hard to gauge size, but it is next to AMT-1 Rodimus who stands at 9 inches so he may be in that new standard 12 inch range. It appears we're going for a classic "Deluxe and Voyager" type setup rather than trying to keep all of the members at the same general height. It's an interesting take for sure. Side note, a clear Rodimus was shown, but that was likely just to show off the die cast content.

Then we've got our first look at Missing Link Arcee! We were teased previously by Takara Tomy asking if fans were interested in seeing her get made and the reaction must have been positive because here she is. The placard next to her specifically points out this is the prototype version so perhaps a pink movie version is also in our future.

Then there's our first ever actual Macross crossover with Macross 7 Basara Prime. Basara is a Japanese word that, in the case of the anime, means "acting without restraint, self indulgence", but it's also the name of the main character, Basara Nekki, properly fitting for a rock star. So yes, if you were sure we were getting another Prime as a crossover from Takara Tomy, pat yourself on the back. Once again we're treated to a gray model, but we can at least confirm the alt mode is based on the VF-19 "Fire" Valkyrie so expect a very orange Prime this time. Most importantly he has a guitar!

Finally we've got the no so surprising Nucleon Quest Super Convoy repaint of the recently released MPG Super Ginrai. Not much to say here, it sure does look cool, though!

None of these new figures have release info or prices, but Nucleon Quest Super Convoy and Missing Link Arcee will likely go up for pre-order soon enough.

At first I was disappointed by no Jetfire and yet another Prime, but I have to say, that guitar really sells it. I really need to watch Macross again. It's been ages.

Arcee ... that face. Geez. Still tempting. I hope we see other Arcees with this color scheme, though. I'll pretend they're other characters.

Predaking looks great, but probably too rich for my blood.

Metal Valkyrie Prime looks pretty cool. Wonder how expensive it will be.

EDIT:
Interestingly, I just noticed Prime is using Last Knight Megatron's Wing / Leg transformation so it does not get a wing pack like a traditional Valkyrie.

Preview of Studio Series TLK Megs? You be the judge.

Wasn't in the market for the Valkyrie Prime until I saw that guitar, and now I pretty much need it.

Arcee, on the other hand, was always an instant pick-up. I would have no issue getting both colour schemes, either.

Still awaiting that Rodimus. I am content with POTP Predaking, but my brother might get this one for his collection, so I may still get to experience it.

With the next Haslab on the Horizon, 2025 is off to a great but expensive start!

It's on Hulu starting this week, including Macross 7.

That Macross Optimus better be wary of pineapple salad.

Predaking is awesome but what in the name of Temu are they thinking with that Arcee? I realize that was a proposed figure back in the day, but it was killed off for a reason. It needs to stay dead.

The only reason they never made it was because "boy would never want to buy a toy of a girl", forgetting that GI Joe had them for years.

Nucleon Quest Convoy is definitely a purchase. So can we expect Fire Guts as well?

People sick of getting yet another OP can just consider this TF x Macross7 crossover as Starscream instead.

This figure rocks and pulling my heart strings pretty hard. Hope I can afford it.

I watched the OG Macross & Frontier and nothing in between or after, but the Valkyries have alway been cool in every series (unlike Gundam).

Yep, which means there's no nostalgia factor for that hideous thing.

And Star Wars before that.

As for nostalgia factor, it's finally an Arcee in the same aesthetic as the rest of the 86 movie toys, we haven't had that yet. She's a missing link in more ways than one, she'll look great on your vintage shelf or a Missing Link collection.

I also love the very vintage look.

Predaking himself looks amazing, really curious to see more of him.

Guitar riff Convoy also looks super neat, I like it

I had a thought today about maybe using VW Bee for Herbie, Being that Hasbro already has a close relationship with Disney it probably wouldn't be too difficult to do.

I wonder how Hasbro even approaches ideas on what characters to base them on, do they go to the licensor first or does the company that holds it IP come to them?

I think it's most likely Hasbro doing the scouring of the properties to do the crossovers - it is a Hasbro line of TF figures afterall - but for those that have "anniversary synergies" it could be the other way around.

But the Hasbro x Mattel is a much deeper collaboration though. The all die-cast limited edition HW OP is done by the Hot Wheels team, not Hasbro. And there will be other IP corssing over with Mattel, not limited to just TF & HW.
