The Energon Pub

I've been wanting to do a non-bike Arcee for a while now but haven't found a feminine enough mold for it to work. But looking at movie 08 Camaro Bumblebee I saw alot of feminine features. Still it wasn't feminine enough so I had to make some modifications to make the mold more feminine looking.

Modifications I made:
1. cut off tab on the side front fenders to allow it to rotate all the way up in bot mode. This made the chest more narrow (therefore more feminine I think).
2. Narrowed the hip joints
3. Cut a tab in the side back fenders to allow it to rotate more and this allowed the leg to be straightened out more making the leg longer and more slim looking.
4. Removed Bumblebee's "toes" and attached Deluxe Movie Arcee's high heel boots. Again, to give her more length in the leg. She is now about 3 cm taller than Bumblebee.
5. Replaced BB's head with a Hydrospaned Energon Arcee's head.
6. The guns are "sawed off" Classics Astrotrain's rifle (and these can be placed in between the legs in car mode like Bumblebee's gun)

BTW, I don't like pink stripes or pink anything (although the license plate is) in car mode. It looks plain but I prefer that than pink stripes. I think there is enough pink in bot mode.

First off, thank you for not uglying up a perfectly good car with pink. The plate is good enough.
The robot you did great with as well. The effect the legs and slimer body give make the figure look less BB than it is. Crerative ideas for the parts too.
My only gripe is that the white looks like primer.

I prefer this figure to both the movie Arcee and the movie Bumblebee toys! I think it's mostly because of the head, but it's still an all round excellent custom. Very nice work.

Umm, wow! I came in here thinking "yeahhh, riiiight ..."

I'm now leaving with the though "holy ^&**, that was awesome!"

Putting those front pcs up on her shoulders in bot mode really sets it off. She would look masculine if transformed the other way. Very creative!

Wow, she looks damn goos tigh the headlights flipped way back, even tho they would look like boobs if left as they were.

Nice work on the legs. Damn nice job.

Nice work on giving Arcee a non-bike alt mode. it is an inspired decision on your part. Awesome.

I think you have every right to send a few of those pics to Hasbro with a note attached saying "Pay attention. This is how it SHOULD have been done!" Damn nice job and creative use of the parts from the other Arcees'. I'm almost curious to see if a similar treatment could be done to the '74 without being hideous but the style of car itself was designed with testoserone in mind so it would probably be blasphemous to even attempt it.

Great work on this.

by **Thundercracker Prime** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 2:19 pm

great, but the head looks weird.

by **Primus22** » Fri Jan 22, 2010 7:05 pm

She turned out great. I think that its great with just the pink plate, but maybe you could paint the grills pink. And the white does look like primer.

One of the last characters I thought could be pulled off with that mold. Fantastic work... definitely original and something I want to try myself!

That is extremely awesome! Great job on it, looks like a much better Arcee toy then what actually came out, I love the little mods to the robot mode, they really make a difference!

Now normally I dont like the TFTM/ROTF figures, but that is one sweet looking Arcee. To bad she didn't look more that in the movie instead of the self propelled unicycle she was.

LOL so true

Great Custom. I like that the figure looks feminine without taking away from the vehicle mode. Most repaints made into Arcee seem to be too masculine. I think the white was a great choice, keeps the car looking realistic.

by **DarkJesterCyn** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 2:25 pm

hmmm.....now that, is so badass words cannot even describe. Kind of a shame I don't have any extra astrotrain guns layin around. I wonder what she would look like with an ROTF Arcee head

by **Heckfire** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 10:57 pm

Guess my post got eaten by the hardware probs with the site...no big.

If you did want to do something about her alt mode looking plain, there's a decal set at Reprolabels.com originally to give the movie '08 Cliffjumper repaint details based off of the Thunderhawk from M.A.S.K. that might work with her without making the car pink.

Otherwise, this is an awesome custom!

Having Just seen the new Camaro IN Hawt-Pink (or was it barbie?) as a stock color, doint Arcee in such wouldn't be that much of a stretch, If you ever feel like "revisiting" this project may I suggest repainting her such a color, Maybe using your light pink as an accent color or even the white, either way Arcee NEEDS more pink in her alt mode... Its ARCEE!
