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!

What I would like to see is the statue from a few years released.

Not sure about Arcee just yet, so I'll wait until images of the prototype drop. I would have preferred them doing Nautica though.

If they do Nautica, they had better do her in IDW style and not in this style. I don't like it, and I do not want to see Nautica done this way before she gets a proper IDW accurate form

Those Twitteratti can sit on a dildo made out of broken glass for all I care. The more attention you give those parasites, the more powerful they become.
Ignore them and see them wither away like vampires under the sun.

Nautica would be kinda neat, I'm not a big IDW fan but I like her design and I know lots of peopple are big fans of her. I'd like her to get an actually good figure based directly on her IDW appearance first, but as these are niche figures I think it's hardly the worst thing in the world if they take creative liberties- nobody's going to be buying these instead of actually transforming Transformers after all.

As many as 4 decades of asking for her can satisfy.

Until we have just as much Arcees as we do Bumblebees. Hasbro needs to balance out their sins.
Also what really bothers me is how people can get so upset at what other people spend their money on. If you think THIS is bad then don't think about what some anime fans have bought.
But what bothers me MORE is that the news credit went to someone else? Where was it posted before my post? BAH!

First off, I edited the news item to include you as well as Powered Convoy. Secondly, Powered Convoy got the actual news credit itself because he'd sent the email to us before you posted on the boards

Not actually upset, but thanks for clearing it up! I was unaware that sending an email was required. Good to know!

What makes this even worse, is that this image is just the design done by the artist, and not the final product that Flame Toys will release, even if it is their declaration of intent.

As long as they avoid the "super model" poses,everything should be fine.

Don't get your hopes up. The outrage mob WILL find something be outraged at.
Anything to get attention.

Right now the outrage seems to be over them drawing her like she's wearing a bikini, even though she's basically been like that since 1986. There was another complaint about her being drawn with a bellybutton, but...

Lio Convoy looks...phwoooooar! that's the noise he makes too as a roar just wouldn't be good enough. The primal looked better in color but I still wasnt sold on it. this however.

That's not all though, they've also announced open preorders for two more entries in their model kit range: IDW Rodimus, and Shattered Glass Drift!
While no price has been given for Leo Convoy, both the model kits are set to retail for $40.
What do you think of these? Will you get getting any of them, let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Drift is yet another Gundam. Meh.
But that Lio Convoy... HOLY SEXY MOFO!
Too bad that Lio is not a kit.
Posted by ThunderThruster on January 18th, 2021 @ 5:57pm CST
Much like Kanrabat, I also wish Lio Convoy was a kit.

Lio is a kit though, that's what the Furai line is. The Kuro Kara Kuri line is the obscenely priced figures.

Nope, Lio is "Furai Action", the action figure line in the same style as Furai Model. They aren't priced like the model line, though. IDW Optimus Prime from last year was $75, but Optimus Primal coming in April in nearly $200. Lio will probably be somewhere in between I'm guessing.
Lio and Primal kits are coming, though.

Rodimus is so obscenely IDW and perfect I will get him.
SG Drift is good, I am trying to sell my regular Drift kit (still sealed) because I have the Generations one and the kit was entirely redundant and a bad buy, but SG for the SG shelf is much better.
BTW, if anyone wants a Starscream or Drift kit, HMU, I'm getting rid of those 2.
Posted by blackeyedprime on January 19th, 2021 @ 12:35pm CST
I kinda like the Rodimus, to my eyes his legs would have to be a bit longer for a Guyver/Phantom 2040 look. Drift looks okay but he's not really my thing with me not owning a single Drift figure yet -though the SS copter was tempting.

This is a redeco of one of the earliest entries in the ever-growing line, Shattered Glass Prime looks suitably menacing in his purple colour scheme. The character debuted in Fun Pubs Shattered Glass 2008 Botcon set (where the toy was a redeco'ed Classics Voyager Class Optimus Prime), and he's remained in the famdoms popular consciousness.
Here is what Flame Toys said:

So I'll wait and see.

Windblade was announced some time ago but has gone under several redesigns since the initial concepts. The character was created through the first fan poll that Hasbro ran, having fans choose different aspects of the design. She also recieved several IDW miniseries in the old run, and featured in several cartoon series since then such as RiD2015 and Cyberverse.
What do you think of this model? Will you be adding her to your collections?

Shattered Glass Drift is based from the Shattered Glass concept, popularised by the Mirror Universe from the Star Trek franchise and introduced to Transformers via the BotCon 2008 set. Drift here is depicted as being part of the Villainous Autobots.
Will you be building Drift up? Have you got his regular colour version?
