Her back looks horrible. Hasbro is really slouching on engineering and quality with this round of Generations compared to previous years. Third party companies are kicking their butt at design and engineering right now. Quality is about on par with the third parties anymore, unfortunately.

what's up with the Femme Bots having their "rear ends" censored?

Because a robotic cleavage in front is bad enough for some

I find it rather baffling that Hasbro has the budget to do a remold for this and not think of making that backpack removable, you know, like in the comics?

Might not have passed child safety tests for choking. Time to get out that pin remover.

Chromia looks nice. I already have a Prime Arcee standing in as Chromia though, and I don't like this enough to replace her.

Too much black. Takara one completely show accurate. I'll take Takara.. I'm actually getting real tired of Hasbro's paint apps. They were getting better for a while, but it seems that they don't care or know proper paint schemes for these characters anymore.
Where i this picture of Takaras version? Ive done a google search but cant seem to find any.

Thanks
Not sure I like it considering it will be insanley priced as all Takara stuff is, I'll stick with the Hasbro one, actually quite like the black on her helps to break up the colour scheme the Takara one looks a little incipid.
Have you checked BBTS? Takara ones are only 30 dollars. The way the dollar is continuing to decrease in value, our Hasbro ones will only go up in price. For 15 more dollars you get a superior product that you'll be happier with and have saved an economic cost of post-market price-gouging by scalpers later. I kind of wish now that I had done the same with a lot of the Henkei classics figures back in the day now. Thankfully an ex girlfriend got me the Henkei Optimus Prime voyager mold. Love love love that toy. But yeah, Chromia and Windblade also look a lot better. Same mold, I just don't want to have to learn to paint them myself, and that's worth 15 dollars to me. I can't wait to see Takara's Jhiaxus. Hopefully it's the more accurate deco.

engineering on chromia looks damn near the same as some of the prime arcee's. and that back kibble could have folded up a LOT cleaner than that. otherwise, its still pretty nice.

I've just realized something: this Arcee figure has the sexiest stomach in the entire franchise.

More like Max-B/Thrustor/Dirgegun/Hellscream-leveled remolding.

Arcee's lookin' fab, but Chromia's back is all...weird. Backpack gone wrong.

Why do I feel like that butt-flap on Chromia should fold up to fill in the back to make the backpack more solid? (I'm not so familiar with the Prime Arcee mold.)
I'm not sure which thread I'm in but if Takara Arcee is really the price I'm seeing it'll be THE deluxe I import. Generally speaking, the mold is enough for me. The black being replaced by gray and extra attention to detail makes the Hasbro deco look like a Transformers Animated homage. (Which is cool if you're into that.)
Love the fronts, hate the backs. Overall, I like them.
