An interesting trivia bit about G1 OP and most other G1 tractor trucks and trailer combos: while the real trucks they were based on of course used dually wheel set-ups on all intermediate and rear axles, the TF toys almost always simplified things by only using single wheels there too, just like on the front steering axles. I looked this up to see if it were possible in real life too, and it is. It is possible to install double-wide tires instead of duallies. They're called super singles. So in my head canon, TF tractor trucks use super single rears, now. 😎
Dude, I heard a choir singing in my head as soon as I got the notification for this vid! Heads up about a voice actor script read-through and showing of the first 3x G1 Eps in Cinemark theaters next week, MAY 15-17.

Also thanks for sharing Rodimus and even though you're Asleep all I can say is: keep up the good work stay safe out there in Florida have a Happy Mother's Day have a goodnight and until next time TILL ALL ARE ONE.🙂🦸🟢💪🇺🇲🏋️🙂👍✌️🌆💯 1:16 am.
Cliffjumper was my first Transformer. Didn't get a Bumblebee until they did the Walmart reissue. Super excited to get these Missing Link versions. I'm saving up for Optimus, 'cause that price tag is a bit much right now.
I beyond ecstatic for owning Bee and Cliff, I want to see either Starscream next or Prowl because the former will lead to my favorite of the three original seekers Skywarp getting a Missing Link and the latter will do the same for Smokescreen.
10:28 The Takara Tomy Transformers C-01 Missing Link Optimus Prime with Trailer is AWESOME!!!! The tires LOOK like rubber to me, but I have heard different reviewers have conflicting statements on the tires; some saying yes, while others say that they're "rubber like".
Obviously there’s only certain ones they can give the Missing Link treatment to, ie: separated legs, no parts formers, no brick formers etc. Soundwave would work perfectly.
I’m in on these missing link figs. Diaclone Reboot made a modern rendition of Optimus Prime. Would be cool for them to keep that trend up with the other bots.
The 07 movie had rock'em sock'em like toys except a lot crazier because they needed to kick each other in the chest to completely dislodged the figure.
I really hope I can get that Cliffjumper. I have enough Bumblebees. Though I think they should make a second version with a Russian and a cartoon accurate head.
I really hope that the bumblebee and cliff jumper figures aren’t going to be in a pack together, because over the years, I’ve grown to like cliff jumper more than bumblebee.
I don't expect G1 to stick around forever or anything else that Sunbow brilliantly produced. I'm just hoping we all get another great run from creators in comics and media that grew up on thr franchise and LOVE IT to give it to us and have be more than mere "fan service". After that they can give us whatever. As long as the quality and thr love is there.
I initially passed on Missing Link Prime. However, after seeing these figures, I’ve decided to get them and try to get myself a Missing Link Prime too. I’m definitely going to see Transformers One. Not sure what to expect, but I will give it a shot…
I wonder who they’re going to get to voice Starscream, since Chris Latta is no longer with us. I’m crossing my fingers for Steve Blum, in order to get some transformers prime related voice actors in the cast of the redub.
@@RodimusPrimal in the redub? Oh well. If that’s the same guy who will be voicing him in Transformers one, I would be OK with that. Best of luck to him.
omg I was thinking it would be cool seeing these G1 throwbacks for thr 40th for the adults.I'm not buying any ONE figures.But $40??.I could see $20 for the minibots but...no .I have bills
I have ML Optimus, Flagship Optimus and ordered Megatron. And even I think this price is way overboard. These two are going to unalive the interest in the missing link line. $40, for bumblebee? If you look at Optimus, it was already expensive, but justifiable to many. This is just..... dont know what they are thinking.
$40 might be okay, if it was both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper together. But no way and you know what, if it was just one. Especially if you consider that either one of these two original items back in 1984, started out at a dollar a piece, then 2 dollars then three dollars each. I know these prices for a certainty Because back then It was bouncing around between Tulsa Oklahoma Muskogee Oklahoma Oklahoma City Oklahoma
I'll say Project Missing Link is looking very bright! I'm really impressed with Takara Tomy, because I never thought the original Diaclones would or could ever be upgraded with anymore Articulation without deviating their design. Well, I thought wrong, and I'm proud of them! Also "Transformers Rock'em Sock'em" sounds very tempting! Just imagine the original commercial from the 60s, th-cam.com/video/GILWH0sQ0vE/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared or that scene from Toy Story 2, th-cam.com/video/DhZsLdj26I0/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared but with a Autobot & Decepticon Skin! However, that would require Hasbro and Takara to have a word with Marx or whoever owns the rights the playset today.
Yes Missing Link Optimus Prime has rubber tires. Such a great figure!

I wonder if the Missing Link line will be an excuse to recast some of the lost molds. Like the G1 Dinobots.
$40 per figure for the missing link BB and CJ?? Dang man that's a bit pricey!! Might pass at that price point as much as I'd love to have em

8:10 - Well not just that, but the toy manufacturing technology was far from being able to handle that.
I beyond ecstatic for owning Bee and Cliff, I want to see either Starscream next or Prowl because the former will lead to my favorite of the three original seekers Skywarp getting a Missing Link and the latter will do the same for Smokescreen.
I'd lose it completely if they do Prowl in this style. He was my favorite, and I lost my original in the 80s...
my son loves smokescreen to missing link is making sun streaker in 2025
Congrats on 100k, Rodimus!
Definitely picking up Bubblebee and Cliffjumper
They should both do missing link Megatron, animated leader class Megatron and WFC video game Arcee.
Don't forget slipstream and demolisher
@@blueraccoon1088 that too.
Thank you
Adding to my list. I already have missing link Optimus w/trailer.
Happy Anniversary to the Marvel Comics. I'm spending today playing with my Legacy Jhiaxus figure to celebrate.

How have I not seen the plushes before, Shockwave looks absurd and I must have one 😂

Yes the missing link prime has rubber wheels and die cast in pretty much the same areas as the original but oddly a updated ion rifle.
The Hot Rod plush is so tempting
The 07 movie had rock'em sock'em like toys except a lot crazier because they needed to kick each other in the chest to completely dislodged the figure.
I want bumblebee and cliffjumper.
I have the toon version of ML Prime. I can confirm that C-01 and C-02 have rubber tires.
You know what the tires on the hands remind me of? The activator mini cons from RID 2015.
Bumblebee Wheeljack looked right too. Watch, when he gets an Earth mode, Transformers One Wheeljack is going to turn into Urkel.
I really hope I can get that Cliffjumper.
I have enough Bumblebees.
Though I think they should make a second version with a Russian and a cartoon accurate head.
Rock 'em Sock' em Transformers!
I realized that towards the end.
@@RodimusPrimalhow do I sponsor one of your videos on patreon?
This is Really Missing Link Bee and Cliff

I don't know what I'll do if they do Grimlock.
I got my cartoon accurate version of Missing Link Optimus he does have rubber tires still waiting on the one with the trailer

Frank Todaro.

@@RodimusPrimalWho is doing Jazz?
Missing link. Cliffjumper!
That’s what I tried to do with starting up Power Rangers related conversations with people who may not know what that is.
I skipped the missing Link prime but I think I'll get Bee and Cliffjumper, but it's really expensive for so small figures.
Movieverse One Optimus Prime, is Point Break.
Looks cool thanks for the info
$40 is asking way too much for 3-inch-tall toy.
No amount of nostalgia would make me pay more than $20.
Those plushies are kind of cool.
They would look a lot cooler inside of a claw machine. ✌️
@@varkadegames A Transformers claw machine? You may have something there.
omg I was thinking it would be cool seeing these G1 throwbacks for thr 40th for the adults.I'm not buying any ONE figures.But $40??.I could see $20 for the minibots but...no .I have bills
Go look up on eBay how much G1 Bumblebee goes for.
I have ML Optimus, Flagship Optimus and ordered Megatron. And even I think this price is way overboard. These two are going to unalive the interest in the missing link line. $40, for bumblebee? If you look at Optimus, it was already expensive, but justifiable to many. This is just..... dont know what they are thinking.
Cool.
There are plans for a missing link megatron but I am afraid because of the gun laws! 😢. But no problem if you can buy it online😂!!! 😊
My 1st g1 fig (going way back) was Skywarp back in 84'. PLEASE make me some Missing link seekers Takara/Tomy! And g1 Megs... is that even possible?
If I get a chance I will be getting both Bots they look good enough thanks
I was hoping for a $60 2-pack of the missing link Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. $40 is too much IMO.
Yeah, I don’t care how articulated they are, or what accessories they have, I’m not paying $40 for something the size of a mini bot!
rodimusprimal are you getting these i just preorder bumblebee?
2:59 no offense rodimus but i wouldn't get gimmicks as a undercase to kids just saying my opinion

Considering what G1 Bumblebee is going for now, I'd say it's a fair price.
Do you own the missing link prime?
Not yet unfortunately. I've heard GREAT things about him.
@@RodimusPrimal i have it, and all the great things are true

Can u please do a retrospective on unicron
#FIBRIR 😜
My son wants to buy cliffjumper but is bumblebee better?
@@jeffbrothers it's a matter of which character you like Better. Both toys are similar
@@RodimusPrimal is bumblebee more popular than cliffjumper?
@@jeffbrothers he is.
@@RodimusPrimal is the original g1 bumblebee more valuable than g1 cliffjumper?
I do want both of these but $40 a piece even all things considered is really pushing it for two tiny figures.
Cost of materials is the reason for the price.
I mean I get it but still...the price on Optimus was an easier pill to swallow...I'll probably still give in.
@@RodimusPrimal They are minis though. $40 for a mini is a cash grab.
Go look up how much G1 Bumblebee goes for on ebay. Less articulation for a vintage figure and it goes for more than these.
First!😊
FORTY BUCKS FOR THAT?
Get out of here. I mean, $20 is stiff for a 2" figure, $40 is ludicrous. My money is better spent elsewhere.
A vintage G1 Bumblebee goes for $70 and up. It's less for the Missing Link with more articulation.
How much does a vintage cliffjumper go for my son wants to buy one of these?@@RodimusPrimal
