:CON: I just was reading all the comments about Arachnid and yep she not the greatest of molds but she will be the rarest and properly going to be very expensive in the future if not now, this is not unlike PRID Vehicon which is also a bitch to track down as i have just been back from HK and collectors over there are crazy for troop building.
Anyway for those having problem locating both PRID Vehicon and Arachnid I have spotted some on UK ebay check it out:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Hasbro-V ... 522wt_1401

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Hasbro-B ... 366wt_1401


So if you are interested have a look I know its not cheap but its doen't look like it going to be any easier acquiring for good price in the near future Why hasbro with the cray distribution OH WHY!!!! . :CON:

Weapon: tea cup."
I thought she looked bad from the poor photos released earlier and you've just confirmed it. Such a shame, I wanted to complete the cast but I fear I can't waste any money on THAT.

It's a deluxe. She's too small for any of those. I doubt even MP Scream's Dr. Arkeville would fit.

I just tried a Dr Arkeville and he is too big as I thought. If it was made a little better he would be almost the right scale.
A Zoids pilot may fit in but the main problem is there's nowhere for the feet to go anyway.

It's not the opening cockpit that affects the liking of the toy. It's Hasbro still using this "Revealer" gimmick. They didn't need to stick the seat to the back of the head. If they made it so the backpack went down and the head was revealed rather than the other way it would be much better.

It seems to me with her and others they are making the Alt mode look the best it can and then figuring how to make it transform. The First Edition line went for robot accuracy more.

They didn't sacrifice the alt mode though. With the exception of Weaponizer OP I think they always start with the alt mode.
