Talk:Generation 1 (toyline)
1986, Unicron and Arcee
Do we want to include the Unreleased Arcee and Unicron toys in the 1986 list? Unlike other Prototypes, these 2 got cast in final colors and had painted detail, so they were probably almost as close to release as the G2 Stunticons and Protectobots --FortMax 16:48, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Do those unreleased G2 toys appear in a toyline list someplace? I think they shouldn't, except perhaps in a seperate "unreleased" section.
Regardless... As far as I know, the Unicron and Arcee toys were not that far along... there are supposedly only two of the large Unicron toy in existence, for example, so it's not like there were production molds for him made. And the only picture of Arcee I've ever seen (aside from the Chromedome repaint) is this one. It doesn't look very final to me.

Started restructuring the toy list similar to the Euro G1 list. I think it makes more sense breaking the toys from a year up into product ranges instead of mindlessly listing all Autobots and all Decepticons from a year without any sort of distinction or details about availability aside from the occasional "mail order only". After all, this is supposed to be a "list of available toys", not a "list of characters available in toy form", right? LMK if this is okay with you.
BTW, were the Omnibots first available in 1985 or 1986? My notes say "1986", and as far as I recall, I tried to track down solid confirmation the last time I was confronted with this question, but unfortunately I don't rememeber the source. Anyone? - Nevermore
