Enjoy guys!!

Seibertron.com member optibotimus has posted his video review of Transformers Prime "Robots in Disguise" Deluxe Class Arcee. See his thoughts on the figure in the embedded video below.

I'm buying this thing. It's better scale and looks more articulated. Only two problems:
*The paint slightly bugs me
*The backpack

And that Ion Blaster is totally going to Prime.

Her face is great!
Hey, has anyone got an "ugh" answer on your comments by Optibotimus? That really bums me cause you´re this guy´s fan, follower, etc. he asks for support and subs and stuff and then he tells you off in your innocent comment? Or a "talk to the hand" response? Not trying to start a war or anything but I just wanted to get this off of my chest That´s the only thing I don´t like about Optibotimus

Optibotimus kind of reminds me of Kanye West. He's REALLY good at what he does, but he's just a total arrogant ass. Similarly, I love watching Optibotimus's reviews because he really shows off articulation, gives great comparisons, and nails the transformations (forwards and reversed) every time. As a person, however, he's a dick.

Also, to stay on topic about the toy, I really don't care for the backpack. I could live with the color (which is a pretty nice shade of blue in its own right). But that huge ass backpack just kills it for me. I'll stick to my FE Arcee. Sure she's a bit too tall, but I've come to accept that my Prime collection won't be perfectly in scale.

Sadly, the blaster won't fit exactly in Optimus Prime. He can hold it...but the handle that is kinda hidden, to make it look like it's coming out of their arm, won't work with Optimus' hand Sorry

First off, i don't ask anyone to support me, subscribe to me or anything else like that. People do that of their own free will. I'm grateful of the support, but i don't exactly ask for it as you suggest.

I'm not saying you're starting a war, but i hope you realize i'll defend myself. Now, if you could be more specific with what comment it was you posted that i gave that impression...i can address my reaction to it more specifically.

I do have to kinda laugh at the Kanye West comparison, but i do thank you for saying i'm good at what i do. But i'm sorry, you do NOT know me in person. So saying i'm an arrogant ass or a dick, as a matter of fact...as if you do know me in person, isn't something you should do. I do fully admit i have a level of arrogance. But the fact is, i get asked the same things time and time again. Most of the time, and i mean most of the time...i'm generally pretty nice with my replies. That being said, i'm one of the few "big" reviewers that takes a lot of time to interact with his "fans" and replies to their comments. Not to drag other people into this, but compare the number of times i reply to comments in my videos with the number of times Sean Long or Peaugh does. I do concede the fact that i have a short fuse with things. But i live by the rules that if you ask a stupid question, expect a stupid answer.

All that being said, if i've ever offended anyone, i apologize. And i do greatly appreciate your compliment about my work. I'm very happy you enjoy watching my stuff for the reasons you listed as those are the reasons why i pride myself on the stuff i do put out.

Hope that clears things up.

I wonder if that big gun will show up in the series, considerign there's artwork of her with it...

I like her much better than the FE and am glad I waited until I saw this one before buying. Alongside buying Bumblebee, Starscream, Optimus and Bulkhead on eBay and getting the Takara Terrorcon Cliffjumper, I'm feeling like the cancellation of FE didn't burn me much.

Optibotimus might come off as a dick (even though he's probably not) but there's a reason there's the saying "You can't please all of the people all of the time". We should be grateful of their reviews. Sure some have traits that others don't like, i.e. Optibotimus' "arrogance" or peaugh's kamen rider stuff, but they decide how they do their reviews.

That being said, this review was definitely the decider for me. I was iffy on it because of the back kibble, but the whole scale/transformation/arm movement sold it.
