For all those biting their nails Youtube reviewer Peaugh, now offers you a look at this piece of TF history and lore:

Transformers Animated Arcee.

She looks good. More poseable than I originally though. The swords protude a little too much from the back of the car mod. Had the gone in a little deeper they could pass as break lights better.

Other than she looks pretty cool.

And Ratchet too. Both definite must-buys for me.

Arcee especially looks great, probably the best version of her so far. Really love the cybertronian car aesthetic. Without the wings, it even looks quite a bit more like her G1 rendition. Looks like a fun transformation sequence too. Articulation definitely looks better than expected. And TFs with swords are pretty much always cool. The only flaws I can spot are perhaps the hollows on the shins (necessary for due to the transformation), and the shade of pink is a little dark. But nothing can be perfect, right? They definitely did well with this one.

As for Ratchet, nothing new to mention, but I wonder what I'm going to do with my other Ratchet now... can't display them together, at least in my current display.

Yes, finally! I'm loving the figure more and more. The alt mode looks great and while the bot mode has flaws, I think they're understandable compromises and not arbitrary design choices. Sweet, glorious, lightpiping!

I really like how she seems to be appropriately scaled in comparison to Deluxe Ratchet.

Cybertron Ratchet looks cool too. I've got a soft spot for the character and its visual design. I really like the alt mode. I'm not too keen on what looks like a fairly spotty underside of the alt mode. I'd rather see kibble than hollow spots. The raised tread/legs are neat. I'm really liking the transformation design for its arms. Not so keen on the punch arm gimmick.

I'm looking forward to these two figures!
