Just in from this month's Figure King No. 322 collectibles magazine from Japan, is the feature page scans for the Transformers Missing Link C-05 Sunstreaker gray model. What is to become the Sunstreaker, or Cordon, is a shown with all the new articulation features, as well as diecast parts. Additionally, a Diaclone rider figure that fits in the driver seat is also included. The replica Rider looks to be somewhat updated with movable limbs and waist and magnetic feet.

T-SPARK Missing Link C-05 Sunstreaker Release date and price TBA
Missing Link's latest product, Sunstreaker, which was first exhibited and exhibited as a reference at the 40th Anniversary Transformers Expo 2024 held in September this year and became a hot topic, is finally in the final stages of production!! Like other Autobots, Sunstreaker originates from "Diaclone", and he is the first Diaclone car robot item. As a Missing Link with the theme of virtual reprint, it was a subject that could not be avoided. Missing Link revives the excellent gimmick that still remains timeless in the modern era. This time, let's first take a look at the prototype in its gray state.
ROBOT MODE
The design retains the SF machine taste of early Diaclone, the cockpit movement mechanism during transformation, and the unique transformation that is different from other car robots are a reflection of the trial and error and enthusiasm of the first model. The movable mechanism is implemented while reproducing the same size, style, and texture as the original. A handheld gun from the anime image is also included.
“Worker included!!

Sunstreaker!!!!!
The latest work is a virtual reprint of "The Origin": "Missing Link"
A completely new "worker" figure that fits in the cockpit is included. It has four movable parts at the arms and waist, and the rear of the torso part is made of die-cast. Magnets are built into the legs.
CAR MODE
Car mode is electronic propulsion
Uniquely designed supercar with booster
Therefore, the sticker on the wing where the original car name was written is Omitted.
The mechanical details that were previously sealed have been sculpted into a 3D model. Because it is unpainted, you can see how the canopy parts are separated.
I saw that they are asking for $80 on these. I was really excited with the idea of a missing link Sunstreaker and it was my Holy Grail for this series, but that price is a bit steep. I don't think the added articulation is worth the price of entry versus a used G1 Sunstreaker.
