Impossible Toys, the company who paved the way for other 3rd party add-on companies to create and sell their products, has updated their website, and teased a new fall project that they say that we've been waiting for, for a long time.

This company is responsible for the Quints, the only high quality figures that we have representing the Autobots and Decepticons alien nemesis/creators. They also created Spike and Sparkplug, Kremzeek, Energon cubes, and Transformers Animated Sari, Captain Fanzone, and Professor Sumdac. And of course, some of us are also waiting for them to complete their Nightbird figures...

But on to the present! Coming this fall TRNS-01 (Transitional Robot Neural Soldier)...

Impossible Toys Teases Their Fall Project

Impossible Toys Teases Their Fall Project

Impossible Toys claims 'The Wait Ends' with this toy. We're not saying it's a G1 Arcee. Neither are they, but what do the pictures say?

Watch as they tease us with these Arcee-looking pics, and then release it in green as a Paradron medic instead.

If this turns out to be Arcee, I'm all over it. Finally!

I am guessing this will be available for preorder at places like TFSource?

Nope. G1 Arcee has never been represented in toy form before. Animated is changing that of course.. and Impossible Toys as well.

They should have done this sooner. Now that Animated Arcee is coming, some of us might be using that as a G1 Arcee. At least in a Classics line sense. Even so, I am eager to see how this pans out. I'm sure it will be quite awhile before it comes to market, since that picture looks like an early prototype. I also hope it isn't too small!

Posted by ultra_magus on August 3rd, 2009 @ 7:25pm CDT

I've seen a few pics of G1 ARCEE around the place as well, but I think they were mostly kitbashes, and didn't look nealy as good as this one. Too bad there's no way I'll be able to afford it...

Re: Impossible Toys Teases Their Fall Project TRNS-01...G1 Arcee! (967395)
Posted by JediTray on August 3rd, 2009 @ 7:26pm CDT

Indeed. There are a lot of hopes pinned on this. I HATE Animated, so I didn't know about an Arcee being in that line. Are there any pics of it someone could link me to? I too hope that the colors, size, and quality on this (if indeed it IS Arcee) are the best IT can muster. She has been ignored WAY too long.

What happened to Nightbird, the Quint Baliff, Alpha trion, and Daniel and Spike?

IF they pull thi off it might be neat. But I'd like to see a robot mode first. Plus, the joints on my Quint Excecutioner were stiff because of paint leaking into them, so ... hm.

But if the price is right and the TF solid ...

Yup, Rabid squirrel did a great one some years back but they were very, very pricey.

Not quite 2 or 3, but 1.

Someone attempted one seen at BotCon Japan about 10 years back, but the level of detail was a bit off.
One was produced by the guy over Rabid Squirrel Productions, and it went by the name A.R.C. (I forget what the acrnonym stood for, but it was clearly NOT billed as a Transformer, nor named "Arcee" -- despite having a headmaster driver in a movie-style exo-suit called "D-Man" -- not "Daniel".) In a (1987) Headmaster style, A.R.C. came with 2 of her movie handgun, as well as rubber tires in a size similar to Hot Rod, Springer, and 5 of the 1984-85 Autobot Cars.

Due to the lack of resources (as compared to a large or even moderate sized toy company), each completed piece (or the parts to build one) proved very costly. Of course, collector demand would have easily jacked the prices up into 3 figures anyway.

If I ran Takara's Transformer division, I would have bought the designs for mass production, bar none. I'd love to do the same for Hasbro, but toy safety regulations would have "de-masculated" the already feminine toy.

I look forward to Rabid Squirrel's next big project.

The Quintesson Baliff was finished and selling, or so I think. I am loving my Quintesson Judge, but wish he came with a yellow-ish LED. I also like Spike and Sparkplug, but wonder if they're too small, as compared to the Diaclone seat wells they slide back and forth in.
I've really got to get me some more Enargon Cubes. (I want to fill up at least 1 Lionel O-27 Scale "9100 Series" gondola, which takes about 9 cubes.) You won't believe how useful those things are in a blackout!!!

There was a gen 1 takara arcee transforming toy prototype which was shown on the tf movie laser disk.

It was a modified blur which never went in to production. I also remember 2 transforming kits. So it was 2/3 :-p

That looks like a blatant rip off of the Rabid Squirrel design. I don't think I'll be buying the Impossible Toys one since I'm going to be getting one of the RSP kits when I get back.

There's a booth at TFcon that sells IT toys every years and I have never seen the balif toy. I've gotten all the other Quints, but that one's still listed as "preorder". Ditto Daniel and Spike (not the Sparkplug and Spike set; these are animated movie-based).

Impossible Toy's version seems to be influenced by a japanese custom done years before the RSP design was done. If anything, RSP is also ripping off this Japanese custom, if you think the Impossible Toys version is a rip off. :lol:

Take a look at the images below to compare.

I don't care who makes it. I have no loyalties. Whoever makes the best one at a reasonable price gets my purchase.

I own a pink and white A.R.C. They are NOTHING close to how pretty this model would be. Two of these will be sold soon as they are out. I have been waiting 20 years for the only figure i have ever really wanted. Yes I said it, ARCEE is one of my top four favorites. Number one as toys go.

And if you read the Rabid Squirrel history page, they actually admit that they ripped off 2 or 3 custom guys that came before them!

Gauntlet -- to add to what the other guy said the Quint Bailiff was finished I believe. At Botcon, Bigbadtoystore had all four quint toys, I think that was included. I just got the judge -@ $20 no tax, no shipping, I couldn't resist. It rests on my desk now, the death face turned closest to me atm.

if the rumor is G1 Arcee - i definitely want one. The animated one looks cool, but she needs to be done up in proper G1 form. GeeeeeeWuuuuuunnnnnn!!!!!!

Meh... they could have been doing this a long time ago, and yet they have been surpassed by 2 other companies in quality and design.. I hope the final product looks better then that prototype.. and the cost to buy one of these I hope is less then the others they sold..

or was that a different company that produced the fembot?

That was a different company.
These guys have been in the business for maybe 2 years and this is the first transforming figure they made, if you don't count the simple Spike and Daniel Exosuits.

Hopefully this is better quality than the previous figures released from Impossible Toys. The original Quintesson figure was pretty good except for the easy to break antennaes, but from there on it's been downhill. The Animated humans had great potential until they were painted so poorly.

Excited about the possibility of a mass released Arcee custom figure, but disappointed that it's not coming from Hasbro. One day ...

They actually have been around since 2005. About a three year head start before Fansproject showed up.

Cyberfembot.com has nothing to do with Impossible Toys. Cyberfembot makes the ARC kit, which has been available for many years now. But it hasn't been affordable for most fans. Its also comes unassembled, or you have the option to order it assembled. This Impossible Toys arcee will be fully assembled and painted, basically ready to play with once out of the box. Should be alot cheaper. Compared to the upcoming Master Mind Creation(MMC) Knight Morpher Commander figure, which is around $90. I would say Arcee will probably be cheaper than that.

Yea I just read his new frontpage :lol:

It's like back when some guy wanted to sell a custom Quinteson, he got from someone, on ebay and Rabbit Squirrels insisted it was a KO of his copyrighted kit although it clearly had different detailing and was taller than his. :lol:

What's awesome about that guy is, he copies other people's work and ideas and troughs a fit whenever somebody creates something based on the same TF character. :lol:

Must see painted pics. Like said above, I was not impressed with the paintjobs on the Animated humans. If it look s great however, I will be all over this. I wonder if she will fit better in the Universe line? Proto pics look more like a TFU fig than a G1. (Unless they just mean g1 format as far as aesthetics go.) We shall see...

This figure seems like she is meant to go with G1. But I'm sure she'll have at least more pose-ability than the average G1 figure did.
