What about an ALpha Trion review + gallery? I wrote hotrod about that.

Arcee = AWFUL!
Bumblebee = GREAT.

I do not like the '74 version because of the yellow missles, un-transparant windows and ugly legs and feet. The 2008 version is better in so many ways.

I don't care what anybody says. I love that Arcee figure. and the BB is badass too.

The links seem to be broken.

BB is awesome, judging by other pics. Too bad that the links are broken.

It seems the site is having trouble.

If anyone saved the pics, could they post them here for all to see?

by **qwailo** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 9:54 am

I can't seem to veiw them, but I have to agree with Rodimus Sucks(great name by the way).

oh and Rikkomba, a Alpha Trion Gallery has been posted already.

I do greatly look forward to a more bulked up BB than the twiggy one that just came out, and for once I have to tip my hat by making the upgrades BB truely an upgraded BB instead of a repaint with a new grill.

And Takara, please fix here before you send her here!

I don't know about fixing the links, but if you go here you can then click on Arcee, `08 BB, and lots of other toy reviews.

thanks man, thats great. Can't wait for 08BB

Why isn't it working for me?

by **lrahaman** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 10:15 am

wow... '08 BB is so much better than '74... i was totally dissapointed when i saw '74 BB on the shelf... when can i see '08 in stores?

by **Jaz-Zen** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 10:19 am

As for Arcee, I like her. Yes, she has both a subtle female vibe as well as a bird vibe, but I really like her. She's alien, yes, but...don't most people like birds?? Aren't birds cute or pretty, or whatever? Well, that's what I think of Arcee: Alien, but familiar too.

And as for `08 BB, well, I think we've all already agreed that he is "made of win" so I imagine he will sell VERY well when he hits the stores.

by **jonusjaxon** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 10:20 am

'08 Bumblebee is the best of the toys I've seen so far.

by **Jaz-Zen** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 10:28 am

Forgot one thing: Oh my goodness! The BB car pic with `74 BB next to `08 makes `74 BB look like a knock-off! I realize the car designs are seperated by 30 years, but come on, `74 BB doesn't even look like he's made by TakaraTomy / Hasbro, he looks like a cheap knock-off! I can't believe how bad he looks next to `08 BB. Man!

by **Saya** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 10:28 am

I think they're both great!

by **Roboto750** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 10:35 am

The pics don't work for me, but based on what I've seen in the past, I can't wait to add these two to my collection!

Actually, I kind of like Arcee. She looks good as a movie design.

Pity, though, that it would be hard to have a holo-driver for her if she was in a sequel. I still think Arcee could've been Mikaela's Guardian Transformer, like Bumblebee is to Sam.

Thanks for finding the alternate links Jaz-Zen, I changed the news post and even credited you.

Hmm.. That review made me think differently about getting an Arcee, I was on the fence but now I guess I'll get it.

'74 BB looks like ass compared to '08, it is sad really but at least I know which one I might consider buying.

i couldn't agree more!

...but if you think about product placement, it makes sense. Chevrolet isn't making money off sales of a '74 model car. They wanna push the '08 model as hard as they can b/c that's where the money is gonna come from ...even if that means making the old car look like poop on a stick.

The link is fixed and I say thanks, The side by side BBs truely confirms my original statement.

Still, my first car was a '81 Camaro, and '74 BB's car sculpt is pretty much dead on to my old car.

with that said, I will have to get a couple and some white and blur paint for some kitbashing(I wonder who's head I can get to fit on him). Yes white and blue to homage my old car.

Then black with blue highlights to commorate the paint job I wanted that car to have. I wonder how it would effect this toy to have the roof removed? I always dreamed of making him a convertible.

the reviews and pics are great and all, but someone needs to tell him/her how to transform his transformers, since both arcee and the wave1 BB arent fully transformed.
