Re: PE-DX02 Aranea Motobot (BlackArachnia)

Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

Considering that the original two Motobots didn't get under $70 on clearance, I guess you're not getting this one. I think with the substantial changes done to the mold, and that cool spider pack, it's worth a bit more than the originals. Really not a bad toy, if just a little delicate to transform.

Had to drop the pre-order awhile back as there's other priorities, but I'd like to add her to my collection at some point.

Well, they now have to contend with MMC's fembots... Though not really the same (motobot vs cybetronian flight pod of sorts), people will likely not buy DX02 until much later. OF course, that's just my opinion/speculation.

I don't see MMC's fembots coming out until at least early 2014, whereas this product looks like it could be released any day now (I know, it was originally scheduled as a March 2013 release). So, 6 month gap between BlackArachnia and an Arcee isn't really a good comparison. However, there are detractors of the PerfectEffect mold so it's not really an issue for them as they've made up their minds.

Either way, I don't think MMC's plans will affect how DX02 sells.

I agree.

The different takes on the characters allow them to easily coexist on a lot of shelves.

I'll be buying both the MMC and PE fembots.

Yeah I had bought the blue version to be my classics Chromia when it was $99.00. S I was pissed when I saw them dropped to $70.00. The damn figure is so complex, I couldn't even transform it, giving up at the halfway even with the most informative youtube review for help. For this one, I'm thinking e-bay, maybe a year later when someone's cleaning house. Like I said 50 bucks, maybe sixty with free shipping, lol.

I had a few issues as well, and had to use some force at points to get pieces to move. Finally I got her the way she was supposed to be and I'm happy with her.

On to the big news, the folks over at TFW are saying this is a limited production run with only BBTS($99.99) and RobotKingdom ($89.90) selling her. After a few mins ago, BBTS only has 13 left to preorder and speculation at about 60 - 70 for RK. So... might be time to decide soon. I hope there aren't any QC issues on it, but the paint and the extra tooling on this have swayed me to jump back on the wagon. A lot sooner than I thought.

going by the new MMC Arcee, I can pass on the pink Motobot, which does leave this one as a nice unique toy for my collection. And I do love Blackarachnia, but, nice as it is, I think the price is maybe a little much considering all the other stuff I'll be getting soon.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Kept procrastinating on getting this one, but finally bit the bullet and preordered from RobotKingdom. I don't get it, is this thing not coming out until like December now? I thought she was supposed to be out back in May or June.

I get the impression you approve. ;)

I caved and pre-ordered this figure. It's is a little pricey, but when it looks that good I can just about accept it.

Just realized something, while looking at the pics trying to figure out how they managed to retool the figure to give it a spider-mode. It's not a spider-mode, it's just all her kibble combined to form a spider.

Less impressed than I was before, but it's still cool as hell.

Mine came in last week, and finally picked it up from the post office this past weekend. Very very impressed by this figure. I'm honestly shocked at just how many new parts they made for it, too. There's almost equal amount new accessories and parts on the main figure as there are remolding from the original.

The comic also hints at the next figure:

*POSSIBLE SPOILER, IF ANYONE ACTUALLY CARES*


Looks like the next remold will be someone... male. My guess from the art? It actually looks like it might be Wheelie. If someone has a better guess, let me know.
