First look at new ROTF Arcee bike

It's too complex for a FAB but it looks to me like it could be a scout. It looks very similar the Arcee delux.

It is as ugly as the rest bike figures from the ROTF toy line.
It's a pity that a character like Arcee gets such a bad figure.The one from the first movie line was much better looking.....

Still want to see thier combine mode if it has one, other then that I'll pass on this one.

These dsigns seemed hideous at first to me but I'm starting to like them.. The fact that they are so different somehows appeals to me.. Much Like demolisher who without a doubt is a different character. I just bought chromia and I was blown away by how cool she is.. I don't know how a combined mode would work but it would be interesting to see..

One thing I have noticed, Chromia has a large gun on as her left arm, and this arcee has a large weapon on her right arm.. Would make sense if a combined form is possible...

Compared to the other bikes, it looks awesome.
I like it.

Did you see the movie? They don't combine. The three bikes/robots all share one personality. So they're combined mentally, not physically.

I'm thinkin' this is the Arcee that comes with the Human Alliance Skids/Mikaela set.

True but at some point they were rumoured to combine. Chances are that Hasbro has not changed the toys so there is a chance that they still combine.

Looks cool. I first thought it could be a Scout, but judging by the detail and the size, maybe a Legends figure? That'd work. I'm going to pick up all the Legends anyway, so this would be a nice addition to the line. I want to see the purple bike's deluxe figure revealed, named and shown combined with Arcee and Chromia, since we missed out in the movie and had the three of them called the Arcee twins.

I know people are not keen on some of the transformations. But Bay is taking cues from all past shows, i.e. Beast Machines. BM Thrust is and ALWAYS will be one of my top 5 favorite Transformers. So the nod to his design is nice.

Yea, movies and toys dont always correspond. Like Jazz's "telescoping sword", blackout's tail rotor, or ratchets axe.

It depends on when the combined form idea was dropped.

The purple bike is called Moonracer.

Well, at least this one has feet!

All I can say is: I'm glad I bought the 2007 Movie Arcee. I love that figure more than ever after seeing the ROTF bikes.

The purple bike is rumored to be called Moonracer.

Fixed that for you.

Until we see something from Hasbro, she's still "Purple Bike, tenatively named Moonracer, or Elita-1, or ?"

But, I really suspect this is Human Alliance Arcee, like D-340 said above.

She's got legs?

Dwarfcee?

FAB!

I agree 110%. I don't understand why they didn't go with the design from the 1st film for Arcee. That toy contained much more awesome.

That sounds like a pretty good guess to me. It's either that or the third "Moonracer" bike, but it's the wrong color for that.

I like this one much better than the other two bikes released so far. It has legs and arms, so it's at least identifiable as a robot of some sort. The others all look like they're transformed wrong or something.

Of course, the best scenario would be movie 1 Arcee with this one's head.

I really don't think this is the third sister. The third one is based on an MV Agusta F4, which has a single headlight. This has the double, and looks to be a new version of the second sister, Arcee.
I don't think it's the Human Alliance Arcee, since the box pictures from that one show it being this bike, but the robot mode shows that it is EXACTLY the same transformation as Chromia, so this can't be it either.
While it does look a little complex to be Fast Action Battler Arcee, I think that's the best bet.

They weren't called the Arcee twins - when Arcee AND the Twins were sent to chase down Sideways, they were called upon as "Arcee, Twins"; not Arcee twins.

I'm going with a Legends figure.

Hi! Welcome to the site!

That doesn't look like a deluxe. That's probably a scout. I can't wait for combined images!

She knows how to use them.


I bet this is the Arcee that comes in the Human Alliance Skids set. It's supposed to include an Arcee for the little Megan Fox figure to ride, so it would have to be smaller than Deluxe. I bet this is it.

There are pictures already up on this site of the Human Alliance set, and this isn't it.

I agree with others...this is not a deluxe. I've got money on a Legends figure.

It's most likely the Arcee that comes with human alliance Skids, if not a legends.

As for combining, Both deluxe Chromia and Arcee have unused tabs, so I think it's still possible.

QFT.

Legs make it so much better. Looks to me that its either a scout or maybe even a legends. Cant be a FAB but you never know. I may actually get this one.

Hard to tell what class it is...The head sculpt looks awfully well detailed for a legend, or even scout. Either way, I'll probably pick up this figure. I actually think that the bikes will look pretty badass if the figures are posed together, and away from the other ROTF collection (just because the scale is way off, and that's a big problem to me )

Mabye their combined mode isn's so much them combining into a bigger robot but a way to pose them standing together back to back style? then they could all support each other and you wouldn't have to use the base things they come with. mabye? i dunno.

Guys, take a look at the other Scout class figures, like Knockdown, and check out this bikes/bots joints and pins.
This isn't our 3rd deluxe bike. It's a scout. It may be a Scout class version of the HA bike or one of the Arcee bikes but that is a wild conjecture and I sure don't want anybody getting stupid and running with that idea. (I probaly shouldn't have brought it up but I'll consider it an experiment)

Whatever it truly is, I like the look of it. I still like the first Movie arcee and Energon bike Arcee more as far as TF motorcycles go but this one will help round out my Top 5 list when this hits the general market.

While that would be disappointing, looking at online videos of people having combined those two tabs on Chromia and Arcee, and how immobile this seems to make them, I think there's a good chance you may be right.

The only thing that kinda bugs me about this is the front of the bike sticking up off her shoulder. Couldn't they have put it on her back out of the way, or had it become a shield or something? This is the sort of kibble that bugs me, when it's obvious it could of been done five times better. Looks good otherwise. She has feet, but it looks like you could put her legs together and fold them up to get uniwheel effect, too.

I don't think it's a scout though. That one picture seems to show that her one arm can flip between an arm and a spring loaded weapon. Other than the recolors before that recycled from Energon/Cybertron, there's no Scout class figures with a firing weapon. Yet. Maybe they'll change that...

Hi! Welcome to the site!

Thanks! I've actually be on here for a few years, but rarely post. Great site. Great people.

I don't know about that being disapointing. It could be kind of a "Charlies Angels" kind of look.

Oh god, I'm showing my age again, aren't I?

Y'know, they should've released the Arcee bikes as scout sized figures in one whole set.
It'd be about as big as a big deluxe or a small voyager. They'd be more in scale.
Their seperate forms may be a bit cruddy, but a good combined mode would make up for it.

This is, as has already been said, probably Human Alliance Arcee... it looks to be about the same size and look of the picture shown at botcon.

As for the combining of the deluxe classes... according to a panel at botcon, the original script for the movie had the 3 bikes combine. (It's still in the novelization) This scene was cut from the movie, but not from the toys, and the toys will indeed combine.

I wish I could remember exactly who it was that said this, but I definitely remember it was during the 1st hasbro toy panel (I was liveblogging the whole thing via twitter... pics weren't allowed)

I'll definetly get her, looks more awesome than the red arcee, but chromia is on my list![img]

nooooooooooo it can't be the HA arcee that 1 look like a beat up chromia with blood as paint

Possiblities:
HA Arcce: None. That Arcee is a smaller version of Chromia, with red paint.

Legends: No Legends that I know of have firing missiles.

Scout: Very improbable, but plausible. Scouts have been known to have missiles. But, making a scout class version of a deluxe figure is fairly unnnessesary. The reverse is happening with DeadEnd, however.

FAB: Most likely. Appears to have a very simple transformation (Pull apart the arms, flip up the head, pull down the legs). Also has a fairly large head, as FABs usually do.

What ever size and type this bot is, if she(?) comes out and I see her on the pegs I am so there. My growing group of Cybertronian Hells Angels needs more members.

yup it was "Arcee, Twins" (MudFlap & Skids)

I like this arcee mold a little more then the delux model but personally i never had a problem with the Arcee bots alt modes

I know who that is. It's Arcee's retarded sister. Everything is out of proportion.
Her head is too big, she has something growing on her shoulder and her wheelchair is intergrated in her legs...

Now seriously... WTF did they do to her?

UltraPrimal wrote:She's got legs?

The more I see of the figure, the more arguments I see on the other sites and the fact there is a store computer stock listing for ROTF FAB ARCEE, I'm going to have to say that it is FAB Arcee.

wooah! This is so must have!
Only broblems are that she still is an autobot... and I'm totaly broke

If thats the FAB, then I can't wait to see the deluxe. I think I'm the only one on these boards who's excited for the bikes lol! The Ducati SuperBike looks pretty good as Arcee!

Movie Transmutate perhaps?
