What Aggie & Mooncake said.

I'm certainly happy that MMC is tackling Arcee. More so because it means we get matching fembots to boot!

Tsutsukakushi doesn't deal in facts, that's a fact

I won't be getting Azalea, but will be getting all (or at least most) of the repaints. Already got Delicate Warrior as my Arcee.

I do to but I think I'm going to replace her with this Arcee. I think it fits a little bit better with what I'm going for.

I'm still excited to see what direction Hasbro is going to go though. Maybe MMC can tackle Nautica since it doesn't appear Hasbro is.

Now that HasTaks has been delayed to September, I think MMC should push this out now! Cmon guys!

But we still have until the end of 2014 to wait before Talon & Felisaber/Tigris come out!

With MMCs lighting fast releases we'll definitely get this well before 2016 I'm sure of it!

LOL

Carnifex overlord will probably get released around 2017.

Say what you want about MMC's slow release rate,but when their stuff finally comes out it is awesome. Hexatron, Bovis, and Fortis were all free of QC issues and had nice smooth transformations that never felt scary or mindboggling. MMC can take all the time they need, they won my confidence.

Agreed. After the Sixshot and Headstrong figures, I decided I like MMC moreso than Fansproject.

Test shot Review by Peaugh .

After Peaughs great video review, he has followed that up with some cool photos showcasing the same test shot.

Had to lift these off TFW as with most 3rd Party info.

Okay, that Jetmode totally makes this Arcee the winner in my book. Looks great! :APPLAUSE:

Am I the only one who thinks Hasbro's actually looks better than this? I mean nothing against MMC really, but that car mode is not convincing me at all and neither is that Sixshot looking jet mode. The bot mode is OK, but I think Hasbro captured the look of the character better, even if they did leave her with an unwieldy backpack.

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 7:58 am

This captures her initial IDW look perfectly. The Hasbro one captures more of the G1 look better. This has a lot of the spikes and IDW look used to have, but it IS her IDW look, you know?

Although that backpack ... I mean, I actually think Delicate Warrior might be better than Hasbro's attempt. Not in every way, but in many ways.

Well, with so MANY Arcees out there now I'm actually more excited about the different femmebots made from this mould. Unlike the Seekers the Autobot ladies didn't really look the same. I'd rather use different versions of the same mould to have a more unique looking femmebot force.

Can we take bets on which Arcees will be in our hands first? :grin:

I'm glad this is still coming out. Overall, I'm really happy with it. While I like Hasbro's offering quite a bit, I'm kind of bummed they went the slavishly G1 route. My Delicate Warrior is already G1 enough. That's why this still appeals to me. Since Hasbro didn't go with the IDW design, I'm glad MMC did.

Well ... in fairness, IDW changed her look to a heavily inspired G1 just recently, didn't they?

I don't wanna threadjack, but I really wish someone would get on making a Flatline head for Generations Trailcutter/breaker.

so i ordered the medic cause i'll be getting hasbro Arcee..... but I might drop it cause it really doesnt fit the character. in the cartoons the medic is like a poor helpless fembot that got step on by cyclonus. Not this I can kick the sh*t outta you figure we have here.

by **Rated X** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 3:41 pm

I think Im gonna skip these two. I was hoping for pre orders for Elita One and Moonracer. Im pretty happy with Delicate Warrior and the Hasbro version is nice as well which I will get. From there Delicate Warrior will join my FP Headmasters while the Hasbro version will join the G1 movie cast. The Medic version of the MMC mold is tempting, but as it is pointed out, she doesnt really fit the character. I have IT Medic for that. Plus you know Takara is probally gonna juice a medic repaint out of the Arcee mold like they did with the Energon bikes. Maybe even an Ariel. Those I would buy for sure.
