I can see one of two things happening – 1) Takara decides to keep going, in which case, its obvious we’ll get a Golden Blitzwing (another major player in the episode) out of the Titans Return toy, a Golden MP Megatron would be incredible, but also very pricey. There are a LOT of characters that appear in The Golden Lagoon. There’s a lot to say here – this line is risky. It seems odd to me though, that they wouldn’t just do MP Soundwave. This was an interesting choice seems it’s clear they wanted a Decepticon toy to match the height of MP Optimus, and seems MP-10 is pretty much Leader-class sized, it makes sense. I’m a big fan of all four molds and having Beachcomber in gold is something that makes me very happy to say the least.įinally, and most recently, we received Soundwave, using his Titans Return mold. These two sets pair up pretty well, and the bold collector could triple down on Starscream to represent all three seekers (all three of which do appear in the episode). A single pack – Unite Warriors Ghost Starscream, and a three-pack of Perceptor, Seaspray and Beachcomber, the three main Autobots in the episode. Next came two sets, sort of on each other’s heels. I gave Optimus the blue energon axe from Year of the Horse MP Optimus, as I think it works. The light has to be just right in order for the tone and sheen of the gold plating to look right. Still, he’s super pretty –įull disclosure though – these toys are super hard to photograph. While I love this design and do really like this toy, Takara has milked the crap out of it. Thus we get the Golden Lagoon Transformers – So decades later, Takara realizes it can churn out another MP-10 toy in gold plating and decide to create a sub-line. At the end Beachcomber somberly reflects on the cost of war while the other Autobots cheer their victory. Naturally, a battle and arms race ensues and in the midst the oasis is destroyed and the wildlife runs off. In the center is a pool of Electrum a substance that augments the Transformers, turning them gold and nearly invincible.

Beachcomber finds cover and discovers a hidden oasis full of wildlife. This episode is unique for two reasons: 1) It spotlights one of the lesser focused on Autobots (and a personal favorite of mine), Beachcomber and 2) the episode carries with it a very somber and depressing message about the collateral damage of war, something the cartoon tends to gloss over for the rest of the series.Īs a brief synapsis – Beachcomber and a few other Autobots are on patrol and get attacked by the Decepticons. Back during the G1 Cartoon, there was a particularly interesting episode titled: The Golden Lagoon.
