Well this is a surprise! We've gotten word of an until-now unknown 2-pack that was sighted at a Canadian GameStop store, consisting of two characters from the G1 episode War Dawn, those of Ariel and Dion, Orion Pax's girlfriend and best friend, respectively. These two figures look to be remolds and recolors of Legacy Prime Arcee and Studio Series 86 Kup. Ariel's name is spelled "Erial" here, likely as to not conflict with a certain trademarked mermaid.

These were found at GameStop in Canada, and posted by @id_armed on Twitter. As the set was street-dated for early April, it wasn't able to be purchased, but we do have images of both the front and back of the box.





So what do you all make of this? When it's released, do you plan on picking it up? Let us know your thoughts below.

Thanks to our own D-Maximal_Primal, we've been alerted to a post from Autobase Aichi on Facebook. A reliable source in the past, they revealed a single picture each of Masterpiece figures, those of Crosscut (a redeco of MP Reboost), and Nightbird,a retool and redeco of MP Arcee.

Crosscut was originally released as a redeco and retool of G1 Skids in 2002, in a set with G1 Road Rage. This reveal shows him to be a faithful update to that figure, with the Diaclone style head that Reboost has.




We also have a clearer image of the upcoming MP-55 Nightbird. She's wielding a sword which has its origin with Generations Arcee from 2014. Takara did their own version of Nightbird from that mold, and while including its own sai weapons, it also included yellow versions of Generations Arcee's swords, which this Masterpiece version recreates here.



While there's no word on when they're going to be released, it's nice to see more images of these figures, especially Crosscut, who most people figured would be the natural first retool of MP Skids.

So what do you think of these two, Seibertronians? Excited to add another couple of Masterpiece figures to your collection? Let us know what you think of these two below, and stay tuned for all the latest news and reviews!

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Powered Convoy and Fires_of_Inferno, has tipped us off that Flame Toys have just revealed another new entry into their Furai model kit line up! This time it's Arcee!



Arcee shares the same designer as their recently shown off Windblade figure, and you can certainly see the same design cues when looking at them. While recent Arcee transforming toys have caused a debate amongst fans, this figure (while not screen accurate) won't have that issue being a non-transforming model kit! So no worrying about her being a shell former with a bulky backpack!

No doubt Flame Toys will keep us updated when Arcee will be available to preorder!

What do you think of this version of Arcee? Will you be getting her? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Good news, Masterpiece fans! MP-51 Arcee is now shipping, and in some cases, has already shown up! I got a shipping notice Sunday, and a scant 36 hours later, she was at my door, thanks to Amazon Japan.

One Seibertronian, -Kanrabat-, got his even earlier, and was gracious enough to send us a fantastic and thorough pictorial review of the latest Masterpiece figure, the second fembot in the line (after Road Rage). Check out what he has to say and show us below!

GOT HER!

So here's my review and lots of linked pictures!

The box is your standard MP box. Small yet effective.




She come packed in vehicle mode with her accessories. Obligatory card and manual.




The vehicle is absolutely PERFECT. All the details are there.




Despite the arms hanging a bit low, the car roll flawlessly.



This beautiful BLURRY picture show that this Arcee manage to actually have the rear of the car.



The interior is perfectly detailled, down to even a painted dashboard!




You can see how everything tuck under the car.



Here's a comparison shot with all the previous G1 inspired Arcees (Except Animated whom I forgot.)



The "tire blow" weapon attach firmly and is pretty menacing looking.



Other guns can attach to the car as well but that look daff.



Transformation is long and hard, but surprisignly not frustrating. Also, everything felt SOLID in hand with nothing seeming fragile or about to break. The instructions have large pictures but sometime, some details are hard to make out. The magority of the transformation is to compress the panels festival that is the car shell in the most compact backpack scientifically manageable.

In the end, we end up with a pretty nice fembot with a backpack that is not too bad in person, considering that the car mode have NO sacrifices. Obviously, Arcee is back heavy and it limit some poses.







The visor is inside her helmet and it's easy enough to put in place. The faces are easy to change but you must mind the alignment of the face inside the head. It's easy to misplace it. But if you do well, the result is pretty nice!



The gun is very easy to place in her hand and it's SOLID. Also, her jointed hands are VERY appreciated. She have the thumb, the index, and the 3 other fingers as a single unit that can move.



Yeas, she have a high collac and "realistic" sagging "breasts". That's an odd design choice but it's not too bad. This Arcee is not the naive young girl, but an hardenned veteran. So it work.

Also....


"Haters gonna hate!"


Yup. She can ballance pretty well. I think her legs may have diecast so it help.

She can snipe.




Compared to the previous Arcees.




Arcee have blast effects compatible with her guns.



And a tiny gun that may reffer to a single episode. Complete with it's dedicated blast effect that can't go to any other gun.



Overall, was she worth the 180$CAN total, shipping and taxes included?
I have to admit, YES. Totally. Contrary to my previous purchase with MPM Starscream, I feel that here, I got the best deal and she's worth every single cents that I paid.

Could this Arcee be better? Maybe yes, but some choices had to be made. Here, it's the vehicle mode that got priority so the robot is a bit compromised with her backpack. As for the saggy chest, it may have been avoided, but still, I love that "older" Arcee.

I highly recommend the official MP. Especially for the Arcee lover who have all the official figures and even some Third Party.

If any of you are into high end collectible licensed Transformers figures, well we have some news for you. While with the advent of brand unification, the Figure King magazine isn't as revealing as it used to be, it did give us some surprises this time. Mondo is a toy company that makes licensed collectible figures. In Figure King 259, courtesy of Loopaza, we can see an early version of their upcoming Soundwave figure along with their plans for a Bumblebee and an Arcee figure, which is a departure from her more typical feminine look. You'll let us know what you think about those.

The issue also has nice images of MP 48 Lio Convoy, upcoming Siege figures like Rumble and Ratbat, a gray scale image of Piranacon, many cyberverse figures already being found at retail in many parts of the world and the super 7 figures which show you what is going on inside Megaron and Optimus. There are also Japan exclusive Keshi blind bag figures that seem like a rebirth of the G1 decoy figures.

Enjoy!
