Articulation is what you would expe t from a Deluxe, although the ankle tilts are SUPER tight. The heel spurs help to balance the figure well, which is good, because...



*sigh*

I guess it could be worse. It does have a bit of an insect body look to it, which is kind of cool.



Compared to her sisters, she stands up well. Less, um, curvy than Generations Arcee, but not as buff as TR Arcee. A slim, athletic look.



Some backpack shots with other female bots.

Get it together, Hasbro.





Transformation is pretty good, although getting the hood and windscreen lined up can be a pain. Love the tiny, body car mode!



Really, what did you expect?



Some comparison shots with her sisters. More shellformer-y than Gen Arcee, but less egregious than the Earthrise version.









Bottom line is that it's not a perfect figure, but it's fun and incredibly cute. I'd definitely go for this over Earthrise Arcee unless you're looking for a more G1 look.

I say that as someone who owns the T30 figure which feels... spindly? Like it could break if I let my god kids hold it. TR Arcee's head is a great rendition of her face while looking more like a transformer than a fembot. The partsforming, which I have no problem with, gives her a functional shield that looks pretty cool. The only way to make it better would have been to include a sword that sheathes into the shield piece since the accessories with the T30 mold are not 5mm compatible.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Oh, that's hardly fair Kanrabat. TR Arcee is made from the most slender TR mold (one that even basically has high heels because of the foot design), was retooled to have more slender upper arms, and was allowed to have Arcee's actual face and be pink. And hey, it makes Headmaster Arcee (supported by canon before the Legends comic) a reality.

Hasbro. Guys. It's okay to integrate car parts into Arcee's robot mold. She can have car shins or car part arms. Even Hot Rod has car parts on his shins most of the time.

*looks at photo*

Huh?

*enlarges photo for a closer look*

Oh. OOOH! It's a starship.

That's a very bad publicity photo. We're seeing the ship from behind with a view of the thrusters in the back.

So the knees are a dual cockpit?

That memo was lost in the mail since at least 35 years!

Nah, the catalog photos from the '80s look good and they had it at least as recently as 2009. They extra had it in 2005 - remember how dressed-up the Cybertron publicity pics were?

It's especially annoying when, unlike T30 Arcee, this Arcee has big square legs and big square forearms ideal for integration. Hasbro simply took the easy way out and made one of the purest shellformers we've seen since Age of Extinction.

I would imagine it would be someone in the show who doesn't have a toy yet, who couldn't be made from simply redecoing/retooling an existing mold, and who isn't too big to scale with the rest of the normal-sized bots (as in, not Croaton).

Alphastrike would be a cool option, and would give us another fembot. Though, while not gigantic, she still might be too big.

Astrotrain would probably be too big, too.

Or, hey, maybe it's the Quintesson Scientist! He'd be doable as a BAF.

Are we certain there is a BAF component this time around?
