    Hah, Parco. I guess that's where the Autobots have their clothes and shoes on sale. :D  That's the equivalent of having Macy's branded on Metroplex somewhere. :lol  (My wife loves Parco and shops there often.)

    I absolutely love the multi-levels in the chest and mounted shoulder cannons. The lower head reminds me of Armada Overload.

    Looks like the Daedalus from Macross. So Transformers biting off of other franchises didn't start with Armada I see. :D 

    I wonder who this would've been? It looks like it could be right at home in Headmasters.

    The big ramp at the back which goes from the left the the right side looks like a bit like a large handle.

    If 3rd party companies REALLY loved us they would make that Ark playset for our G1 figures.

    That Ark playset is pretty damn cool. It would've been interesting seeing something that originated in the media getting a G1 toy. Did that ever happen? I guess one might count the Action Masters being more accurate to the character models.

    Was there something similar that came out for Micromasters? Design looks very familiar

    Or Legends or WST. Would have loved something like that as a kid for the Micromasters; of course then I would have wanted Micromasters based on S1 and S2 characters.

    I wish Takara had run their WST just a few more waves . . .

    You and me both, honestly I feel they could've done more than just a few more waves with the available characters.

    They were probably working on it when they were still picking up things from Bandai (like Jetfire), but probably dropped due to the license expiring?

    The carrier looks like a very early Sky Garry.

    I want both of those....for CHUG or vintage G1, I'd take either if not both. Disappointed now they never saw release.

    Yeah, Dirge, Ramjet, Smokescreen and the unreleased Skids & Tracks would have been a wave by themselves. Plus the Bumblebee engineering would have translated easliy into a Cliffjumper/Hubcap.

    And most minibots would have been easy to release.

    That Ark playset would be sweet. I wonder if a 3p will tackle it.

    That Ark play set would have been amazing!

    The armored vehicle looks really intriguing too.
