New Motobot PE-DX01 Prototype Images

Yea, I think I have to buy this.

Thats a mighty fine rack the ladybot has going on there and look at those heels!!!
I need to set up a pot in my bank account for all these lovely up coming Transformers and 3rd party lovelies...

That... is looking pretty darn impressive, actually. I've yet to buy any 3rd party not-Arcees; perhaps this will be the one that breaks the trend.

I'm still pretty excited for the mold. Looking great! I'm hoping for lots of repaints from this. There are so many that could be done to homage femme bikebots. I'm personally hoping for Flamewar and Junkion.

Scale is perfect, looks great! Sign me up and take my cash!

Looks great. I'd buy it.

I would like to see those large gaps on her feet filled though.

looks almost... "Official". HasTak should hire some of this 3rd. party designers, they´ve nailed the "Classics" styling to perfection.

I'd buy one of those.

Gimme dat!

She looks great! I think this may be the first 3rd party Arcee I buy, depending on price

Okay so just to clarify things, this a second character for this mold yes? Cause this thing is awesome but just as awesome as the previous figure that has been posted which I am still waiting for...Perfect Effect I'm looking in your direction. Quit holding out gundam-it!!

I so want one, but now I'm worried that they might announce a Nightbird retool after I do get one.
Cause that design would work so well as Nightbird, what with the swords and stuff.

No, this is a prototype, as in this is the zeroth version of the character. First version will be pink, second version will (most likely) be blue.

I would definitely buy this in black.

Scale, proportions, sculpt... spot on perfect. I'd buy this in a rainbow of colors, though different head sculpts would cinch the deal.

If quality is up to par, this may be the most official Arcee we get. (?) Unless HasTak pulls something out of their sleeves between their larger lines.

I'm actually really sad Classics has to be the "bastard stepchild" to the Movie lines, Animated, Prime, etc. It's not just a playful little PowerCore line or Robot Heroes... I don't know why it can't get more focus — a longer run, more figures, some Voyager size bots (or larger), repaints and retools release on a timely schedule... I'd love to see more than two or four released at a time.... more like a full line of toys.

We've been crying for an Arcee for decades.

That shot of MB reaching back for those swords = sold...Pure money~!

Looking good! I'm becoming more interested, but knowing my limited budget I doubt I'll be able to get it. Still, it would make a good Classics Arcee, unless Hasbro gets off their butts and makes one of their own.

Very nice. I don't even care what the price will be. I've certainly wasted enough on other attempts that only gave me "okay" (something third parties should NEVER go near for what they charge). PE, however, has built up some good will, so I'm eager to see Motobot and her sister.

Buying!

Now just get on and make the damn thing.

So how has PE done with their other creations (quality wise)?

Quality has been really good from all I've gotten. Only complaint here has been items being a little smaller that I'd have liked... and odd alt modes. Robot modes have all been really nicely done.

Even if I have to pawn off a kidney, this will be mine. Does anybody have any info as to when preorders will start?

Gotta have this..!

I can't wait for pre-orders to open for this one. I liked the other 3rd party Arcees, but none enough to shell out the price of them. This one really has me excited though, so as soon as it is possible to pre-order it somewhere I am in. I love TF Prime Arcee, but this one will fit in with my Classics figures much better.

Dats schmexy!

I'll take one, please. In those colors, even.

Looks like she actually has some metal/steel on the sides of her legs that are unpainted. Still stoked aswell, This and Hexatron are my biggest interests right now.

She looks pretty damn good! But i'm with Blurrz and Mindwipe. i'm a little Arcee'd out and my focus seems to be on Hexatron at the moment. That thing can't be released soon enough!

But that is a really nice Arcee.

I will buy this and any and all repaints.

I'm good with Delicate Warrior. Got her, IT's Arcee, and Animated Arcee ... and before all that I even bought Energon Arcee; I have enough Arcee to last.

Now, if they recoloed her and gave her a few different headsculpts to be Eleita-1 and the other fembots, then we'll talk. Even though I don't want her as my Arcee, she still looks amazing.

She's definitely going in my Classics collection! I've been excited about this mold for months, when we were given glimpses of the 3D renders.

Wow, I never thought I'd see someone say they were tired of Arcee figures. I do think she has enough representation though. This would be good for other fembot repaints.

Same here. I am continually pleased with PE's offerings. Quality is top notch and I love the neatly organized storage trays.

Not to mention theyre top notch in articulation.

PerfectEffect have updated their blog with a few colored images of their Arcee homage figure, Motobot PE-DX01. Check them out below.

Wow, that's a hot pink! This figure is looking great though.

It's not Arcee. I like it, but I would much rather have the same body with an Elita One head. Or a female Junkion head sculpt and Junkion colors.

Looks as though this is going to be another superb PE fig. I would consider buying a second 'Junkion' version (provided there was some retooling), but no love for a blue Prime or greenish medic incarnation.

Looks great, and I agree that a Junkion version would be spectacular. That said, I also think I'll go after the pink.

IDW Arcee would like to have a word with you.

Another example of where a little literature comes in handy. IDW Arcee is a bad ass. Teaming this figure up with Hardheaded will be cool.

Headrobots Hardhead, none the less.

As a side note, I hate it when the comics do a complete 180 from established canon. Just like jumping bouncing bad-@$$ Yoda, this bitter-assassin Arcee is so far from the caring, nurturing Arcee in the movie protecting the humans. It's like the new writers and artists have to put their stamp on things, and flipping a character to a complete opposite is the way to do it.


But back to the toy, It's a little bright, but It's a definite buy. Fantastic all around. I'm in for the recolors of Paradron Medic, etc. Head changes for Elita-1 and Junkion are a must, IMO.

Wreck Gar's wife "Nancy" anyone????

I've been wanting this from the start (yes, feeding my motorcycle bot addiction), but the more pictures I see of it, the more I want it. These latest pics really have me sold. As long as the price is halfway reasonable, I expect I'll be getting at least a couple different colors, too.
Really like the design asthetic on it, too.

I think the majority does not view this fem-bot as Arcee and rightly so. I was just now thinking of the name Cyclonia... . But there is no denying the cool factor when looking at Motobot. So c'mon PE when and how much??

I really love this mold, and I plan to get any and all color variants/remold/repaints, price depending of course.

It won't be my Arcee, I already have a "Delicate Warrior" who is a perfect Arcee IMO, but these still look awesome with all of their bike-bot goodness.

Looks amazing. I wish I could afford it.

I won't be getting the pink bike, but any other repaints after, like the blue, I will be buying. And of course, I'm assuming there will be some bad ass black colored Con exclusive color by the time Botcon rolls around.
