Er, i think its more that people found delicate warrior kind of lackluster (and simple compared to all the other classics figures). For the price point, I did. I'd love to have had an arcee that looked like the toon, but didn't also look kind of bland and lacking some panel lines and attitude in the face. The alt. mode for Delicate warrior is pretty crappy to me too, since the back wheels seem so akward, and the front end is so much wider than the rear.

Of course, arcee is probably the most humanoid G1 TF, so its not an easy task. Still, I woulda preferred more of this sort of vehicle mode:

And this sort of detail on the bot mode... perhaps scaled back a bit on complexity for the sake of size:

Or maybe I'm just a crazy guy who doesn't know what he wants.

Mind, I'm right there with on thinking about a true Classics Arcee. As it is currently looks like the pink Motobot is a little scarce, and therefore, getting more expensive. Should have pre-ordered I suppose, but wanted to hear reviews so I knew what I was getting into.

I'd say that I'll see if I can still get one in a couple weeks when I get paid, but honestly, I've not even ordered Giant yet, and there's a ton of other stuff, mostly official, even, that I want to get my hands on too. Arg! More moneys!

Seems like PE will do extra runs for products that are sold out, so if I were in your situation I wouldn't worry too much about an initial sell out. I waited awhile for the shadow warrior w/backpack and the wait finally paid off without spending more than suggested retail. I'm actually very cautious about these two Arcees (I'd pre-ordered the first day it was available) after hearing how delicate they can be. But, I'll be glad to have them in my collection, and can only hope that the problems aren't too widespread. Will PE become the next company to issue replacement pieces once these figures are finally shipped to the customer?

IT Arcee is a POS and I will never buy another figure made by them, ever.

PE DX 01 is not necessary, Arcee isn't blue and Chromia isn't a bike. Fem bikes are Movie, Energon and Prime, not G1/Classics. I have no right to say what people should spend their money on but I really feel like $100 is a steep price to fiddle with a new TF mold, and if it's fixing your Sniper Recon Transformers/Robot fix, there's alternatives.

All in all this character just needs a bloody break, every Autobot doesn't need a gf.

I beg to differ. New TF moulds are always welcome, with the loads of repaints we get from hasbro.
Fembots are rare enough that I don't think any attempt on one should be responded with negative feedback (just saying).
Arcee really didn't get a decent figure (except the igear), so 2 really isn't pushing it when there are many different megatrons, starscreams, primes, hell even the microns/3rd party targetmasters can't escape looking like the same old main characters.
But hey, if you don't think its classics/G1, up to you. I don't think the figure matches the looks of prime, the movie, maybe energon, but the engineering is so beyond that, that it really only feels right calling it classics.

Its not my sniper recon itch that PE scratches, its the amazing figure, combined with a lack of a good Arcee, and the fact that she has a bike mode that actually fits with the other fembots we have gotten. Cars for the femmes would probably make them look too fat and ugly anyway. Rather than have ugly TFs that are true G1, i don't mind sexy ones with a minor change in alt mode.

(not trying to sound hostile, just want you to reconsider the awesomness that is pe motobot)

Okay, got them on my desk. Took a little bit of fiddling but they're standing. I did some work with moving bits around. Chromia has her visor, Arcee doesn't. Arcee has the twin pistols while Chromia has the rifle. The wings are also different. All in all, classics Arcee and Chromis for me!
