In the Studio Series core class listings we knew we had an unkown, due to not knowing what the codename stands for, and Rise of the Beasts Arcee coming early 2023. Well now we have images of those two bots from Amazon Australia (the links themselves are not reachable at the moment). The new bot is called Terrorcon Freezer and comes from the Rise of the Beasts film. It does have some visual cues reminiscent of Movieverse Frenzy. Arcee looks similar to what we saw in the trailer, albeit with the limitations of a core class toy. We have images of both her bot mode and alt mode. Let us know what you think!

Oh, since this movie predates his death, I assumed it was Frenzy at first glance, and "Freezer" could be a cheap substitution...
...except G1 Terrorcon Frenzy became Rippersnapper, so Freezer could've died even before then, which means the first Cooler movie could fit into the 3 years they were training to fight the Androids, but not the sequel--
OH, duh! It was the Unicron Singularity affecting everyone's memory! That's why Amazom* forgot the difference between Core and Deluxe price points! Thanks 2005 Hasbro, for giving us the eternal solution to all international continuity problems!
Oh yeah, and the GunMan and Cy-Kill's sister look OK.

This is in Australian dollars, so about $15-$16 usd.

Thanks! That's still a lot more than they are right now. Is that how much they're currently charging Aussies?

I live in Australia. That's probably the higher end price. You can get core class for around $15-19 AUD depending on where you look

Imagine if he turned into a gun like the one Barricade used in DOTM, that would be perfect.

With his limbs spread out like that, he's a ninja star. Or a Cybertronian snowflake.

If he turns into a weapon that can work with the Terrorcons in alt mode, I imagine this could be used as a base for a Frenzy figure to mount on Barricade.
I think Freezer looks neat. Arcee, her not so much.

Her head likely moves out of the way and her shoulders fold into that space with her arms coming together. I like her, she has some complexity that we don't see too often at Core class. She'd also make an excellent update of Energon Omnibot Arcee, just needs a bow.
Emerje
Yeah, and I’m 90% sure that the wheels on the back of her legs aren’t pushed in all the way.

Here's one of Freezer's alt modes - the listing states that he has 3

But damn is that car tiny! Almost like SS 07 Jazz. Still great looking in both modes regardless.

It feels nice to see that the Studio Series is still trying to have the robot modes to be in scale.

Now it's up to 4? Maybe they'll go all Kronoform on us and claim he has 8 or 9 on the box.ZeroWolf wrote:Ig89ninja wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:

I still say Arcee looks like some sort of female counterpart to CyKill. Look into her eyes!

Ummm, yeah, I read the description Sabrblade. I just meant that if the random-sprawling configuration in the pic is seriously an alt, and the one they wanted to show off first, they may as well claim Freezer has a dozen by going this route:Sabrblade wrote:The listing said three altmodes.

I think they're just trying to hide how the figure interacts with larger figures until later.
I don't see a problem with the alt mode shown, it's a stationary gun like a Cybertronian howitzer.

Well, mostly because I'm finally trying to kitbash one, and just discovered the screws are so tight I might destroy it and don't want to spend $100 on a replacement, but still, t'was a fun time. I'd love a Baby-Yoda-Former today.
Now to see if he can somehow hold onto all 4 sabers in weapon mode without killing his wielder!

I also believe that the alt modes are not being shown because they are designed to interact with the other Terrorcons, Siege Battlemaster style. I am guessing scourge is the primary bot they will be shown to interact with, and he has not been revealed yet.
I will need 3 of that Freezer at least, one for each Terrorcon. That has the potential to be a really fun combination/battlemaster gimmick.

We also see shots of the alt mode properly transformed, which was not the case in the original stock images, along with images showing how she can recreate the look of using her wheels as skates. One last bit, it is confirmed that there are no plans for a deluxe ROTB Arcee in the Studio Series line. Here is the entire post:
“POWER IS PRIMAL”
Alright, lets talk core class for the upcoming Rise of the Beast film! Starting off the year right with some new reveals, we have Core Arcee in her earth scanned vehicle form. The bike used for the alt mode was Inspired by the motorcycle form used on screen. The bike in the film is a fitting nod to the bayverse alt mode, as it is the period accurate super bike variant of the alt mode that she had in ROTF.
I partnered with Koki Yamada at TT, who quickly got to work on developing a fantastic transformation that would scale this figure appropriately amongst the bots for the film. Being a motorcycle, she was naturally a much smaller character, and with the debut of the core scale in 2022, we finally had a place to release her in the detail she deserves as one of the main autobots of the film.
Arcee brings about a classically fused deco scheme that incorporates red, white and some secondary pink highlights across her bot and alt mode. Due to the complexity of some of the forms, there were some small changes that were altered in the deco plan as it went into production. Primarily with the front chest fairing changing mold colors, there were no longer the black details on the shoulder joints left over by the base color, and the mirrors on the alt form needed to be incorporated into the white portion of the livery. Regardless, I am still very happy with how she turned out.
The overall bot design is a nice evolution of her Bumblebee movie form, and I was excited to see elements like her heel wheels being able to be used as blades get incorporated into the film. Her initial scenes shared in the trailer look awesome, and I am excited to see this smaller minibot type character come to life this summer!
NOTE: I won’t be sharing full Screen to Toy asset breakdowns prior to the films release out of respect to our studio partnerships.
What are your thoughts on ROTB Arcee? Are you excited to see join the core cast of autobots? Share below in the comments!

Alt mode looks very well sculpted though, and bot mode is kinda neat. Glad they got all the faction logos on his grill!
Don't ask me why I made this:

I don't think that's his neck. I think it's supposed to be decorative chainmail around his neck.

That would definitely make more sense.
Looking at his scene in the trailer, his head doesn't stick up nearly as far as it does on the figure, which is a little weird. I agree about the shoulder pieces becoming part of the truck front, that's pretty cool!
Posted by Bumblevivisector on January 12th, 2023 @ 12:46am CST
Arm cannon looks like a cross between Omega Supreme's and Mega Man's, while the rest is like steampunk Beowulf. The neck might be my favorite part, like a part of a torch or exhaust repurposed as mail.
I could end up buying as many toys for this movie as AofE!
