Following the Missing Link teaser from Ratchet, Takara TOMY Transformers Missing Link D-01 Soundwave & Scout Robot Toy Type has been officially announced for the next new release. This is another figure that will be interesting to see how they re-engineer the classic Micro Change design with modern updates.
