That head reminds me of Nightscream from Beast Machines.

She is very feminine and nice neck down, but... yeah. Head up realy doesn't cut it. I guess I might pick her up.

So, you like to keep the wheels open. I posted a thread a few days ago on whether it should be open or closed. I guess open is the way to go, huh?

Terrific review! This figure has moved to my "buy" list. Pity about the head. I wonder how pink Energon Arcee's head would look on there? Probably too small. We'll see what the kitbashers come up with. Regardless, the review covers the details nicely. The shift in weapon is particularly welcome.

I still like her, though I do agree with the others that kinda worry about her face.

The neck piece has a standard swivel joint attaching to her back, with a ball joint at the opposite end where the head connects. It's definitely possible to swivel the neck forward or back. There are two screws holding the front and back halves of her head together, so it's probably possible to replace the head with a custom and still have it work within the transformation.
I'll try to get some more photos a bit later for size comparisons. My camera batteries need to be recharged first.

It's a great review, but that face is a total deal breaker when it comes to buying it.

I don't think the face is bad at all, Megatron looks a lot worse. As for her head being lopsided, I see that plate over her forehead as a kind of beret or hair.

Where did you find her? Was it a major retailer?

Superb review. Vehicle mode looks great. For some reason Arcee's face reminds me of Beast Machines Nightscream

She does have a nice body. Too bad her face looks like butt pudding.

The head is odd but it does fit with the movie style so that's fine. Other wise it's very nice. What are the odds that at some point Hasbro remolds the head and releases it as a classics Arcee? Maybe as a store exclusive?

That was an awesome read, and I'm glad you posted here.
Not much against TFORMERS, but for some reason, they always have the pictures cut into most of the report. It's anoying.
I was gonna get Arcee anyway upon seeing her, but she was gonna stay packaged. My friend, you have me thinking otherwise now. I love the comparison shot of her and BlackArachnia, just before I saw it I was actualy thinking how she'd look up there.
I found my rider

Actually, only the basic-class Arcee is a Target exclusive. The deluxe version should be in all retailers. I picked mine up at a small shop nearby. They tend to get certain items a bit early. That's where I buy most of my figures, so I'd rather not shell out too many details. It's one of the few places untouched by scalpers, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Um I have a request. Could you show a comparison of the vehicle modes as well like you did with the robot modes. When I first looked at that I thought I was looking at Energon Arcee.

Would you mind telling us where? US? What state? Singapore? Thanks!

I like the figure and can deal with the head/face. I just don't like that neck connecting it to her body. Looks awful, but not awful enough for me not to buy it!

She looks sexy and kickass both as a motorcycle and as a femmebot, but her head looks like it's a half-skull stuck on a spike.

True, what'd they do to her neck?
