A mockup for a Generation One Micromaster has been listed on ebay by renound prototype Transformers seller senuseret72. The mockup is of Whisper (painted silver).
This auction is for a rare, vintage Transformers mock-up prototype.
This piece was created by a Hasbro designer and presented at a line
meeting as consideration for a production toy during the early years of
the Transformers toy line.
Apparently the designer glued this item and
painted it silver as needed for whatever purpose was intended. Entirely
hand painted and glued together, this piece represents and early mock
up for the vintage Transformers line.
Protoypes and samples for the G1
line rarely surface, Skywarp prototypes and mock-ups surface even less
often. This is an excellent opportunity to add a genuine Gen1 prototype
to your collection.
