/\Boo! FE Arcee is the best! The RID has WAY too much back kibble. The arm constraints aren't bad at all, it just means it doesn't move freely, you need to move a few things around. But hey, look at Bulkhead's calves in the show. They open and close everytime he walks, sooo...
FE Arcees face alone is worth it. She has a sexy lil smirk.

In fairness to the PRiD mold, you can pop the wheel off and use it as an ammo clip, this removing the wheel and making the back kibble rather nice and compact.
That said, I definitely agree with the statement that FE Arcee is much more appealing. PRiD Arcee just looks...flat to me, while the FE has all the translucent bits and different paint apps to make her pop more aesthetically.

I agree 100%.

But as a bonus, you can stick these on your RID Arcee for more accuracy:

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my FE Arcee. She's a great toy. But the RID makes particular improvements that win out in my book. I think the AM version is probably the best way to go on that route, if anyone figures out how to get rid of the wing nipples. So I'm not saying FE Arcee is worse. She is GREAT. Even, in some ways, a better toy. But the RID gets the show look down, and that counts for me.

From what I've seen, I completely agree with this. However, nobody answered my question, FE ARE coming to North America around November?

As every other thread seems to say - I'm pretty sure I wrote it at least three times - yes, they are. As TRU exclusives.

Isn't the cannon a little bit titchy compared to the rest of the figure?
I gave my FE to my brother, but I should be able to retrieve the cannon if it looks good!

Any pictures?

Sorry, it wasn't too clear in the article that was on the main page, and I didn't see it as I skimmed through the replies.

This is awesome news...so glad I've held out on getting RID Prime. I better go pick up the rids I want before they're replaced with all the stuff that's coming out at the same time as the FEs (the irony!).

Yes, but I don't know how to bring them up.

I saw some pics of this on Optibotimus's Twitter way back in February (prior to his posting pics of RID Arcee being driven by X-Men's Cyclops), but his Twitter has since become protected and I can't access it or the pics.

Videos of the upcoming and current Transformers Prime Robots In Disguise and First Edition toys have been added to Seibertron.com's official YouTube channel. Hasbro had these toys on display at San Diego Comic-Con 2012. Check out the videos below of these exciting products!

Transformers Prime Cyberverse


Transformers Prime Robots In Disguise Deluxe Class


Transformers Prime Robots In Disguise Voyager Class


Transformers Prime Robots In Disguise Weaponizers and RC Cars


Transformers Prime Dark Energon (BigBadToyStore.com exclusive)


Transformers Prime First Edition (Toys R Us exclusive)

Wonderful! They're finally releasing FE in the US, after many of us blew big bucks importing the darn things. Ah well, better late than never. We may actually have a ghost's chance of finding Vehicons at retail now.

I'm excited about the new Voyagers, despite the inclusion of whack-tech weapons. Dreadwing looks especially good. Magnus is another must-have.

The Deluxes are nice, especially Rumble, but I just know they're going to be murder to find. I don't expect that wave will be any more available than any of the others. Prove me wrong, Hasbro. Please.

Pass on the CV repaints.

Sure, I'll buy the weaponizers, even BB. But I'll be sure to pick up a bottle of Future floor wax on the way home.

Kudos to the provider of these videos. Nice, detailed views. Thanks!
