Rediscover the magic of Generation 1 with Takara Tomy’s Missing Link Series—a premium collector line that re-engineers classic G1 Transformers with modern articulation and poseability while preserving their original look and transformation style. This innovative line “fills the gap” between vintage design and modern standards, giving fans the ultimate evolution of the toys that started it all.

Figures in the Missing Link series are nearly identical in appearance to the original 1980s toys, but feature hidden joints, articulated limbs, improved durability, and other upgrades that don’t disrupt their nostalgic aesthetic. It’s the perfect blend of authenticity and functionality for collectors who want the G1 experience without the limitations.

Why collectors choose the Missing Link Series:

• G1-Accurate Styling – Retro look with updated internal engineering.

• Modern Articulation – Elbows, knees, waist swivels, and more for dynamic posing.

• Preserves Classic Transformations – Transforms nearly identically to original G1 releases.

• Official Takara Tomy Collector Line – Designed to honor and evolve the original series.
