Yeah, the Arcee head is very disappointing.

Prime looks better than the Kiss Players one, and Arcee's head doesn't look feminine enough. Bad move using Decepticharge's head.

Prime looks like an improved release of the same mold. Nice for those who didn't pick one up before, I guess, though I always preferred this mold modded into Ironhide.

Arcee looks fine in alt mode and just plain awful in 'bot mode. The color scheme doesn't look right, even for classically pink-themed Arcee, the head sculpt is inexplicable, and the body just doesn't suggest the character. I hope very very much that we get an Animated Arcee, because we waited for years for Arcee toys only to get lousy ones.

I literally just got Alternator Prime two days ago. this one looks far superior. I like it.

Arcee, I think if they tooled a new head would have made a world of difference. I can see customizers taking that fig, swapping heads and making a beauty of a figure. The car mode really fits her too.

If only they'd have remolded that head for Arcee.

It looks like TakaraTomy turned Arcee into a Binaltech metrosexual. Only the pink is indicative of any feminine traits

I like both of these, Arcee's head isn’t that bad.

For completion's sake, I may put in for an Arcee, in the hopes that someone might do a mass-produced Custom head

They couldn't have picked a worse mold for Arcee. Even her gun is very masculine.

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She a long lost love at first bite
Baby maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right
That's right

(That, that)
(That, that)

Backstage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody say
Forgive me if I seem out of line
Then she whipped out her gun
And tried to blow me away

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

So never judge a book by it's cover
Or who you're going to love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a venus
Lord imagine my surprise

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

Baby let me follow you down
Let me take a peek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me all night
Baby let me follow you down
Turn the other cheek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me, sue me

(Guitar solo)

Ooh what a funky lady
She like it, like it, like it, like that,
Ooh he was a lady

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady

(That that) ya ya ya yya ya yya ya chit chit yaow

(That, that)
(That, that)

[/rock out]

Poor Arcee, not a very triumphant return of Binaltech if you ask me, Prime's not bad.

Diecast apparently...

Prime is an improvement over the originals at least.

Perhaps Arcee would have had better luck with Overrides head without the visor attached.

I am guessing that you mean Overdrive. If it is, I am not sure unless that changed the colors of the head and took the visor off.

Whoops, wrote the wrong name #-o

But yea, I think his head in white would have worked better for her.

No worries, it is quite alright. It can happen at times. :)

Arcee was White with Pink in the G1 cartoon, so why are the G1 themed Movie and Binaltech Arcees White and Peach... or Apricot? - You know what I mean, that's not pink.
Re: More Images - Binaltech Arcee & Convoy (707224)
Posted by Hard Hacker on May 24th, 2008 @ 4:18am CDT
Prime's just his Kiss Player's self in G1 colours, and Arcee must be big on hicking boots.

Still not sold on picking up where I left off with this line. Time will tell.
Re: More Images - Binaltech Arcee & Convoy (707324)
Posted by DMSL on May 24th, 2008 @ 8:55am CDT
I hate them both. The truck should've been Ironhide from the start. Why do we need an alternator Prime when we have Masterpiece Prime. He works perfectly with Alts/BT's. Arcee looks too plain and is from the looks of it a cheapass repaint.
Re: More Images - Binaltech Arcee & Convoy (707353)
Posted by decepticon legion on May 24th, 2008 @ 10:09am CDT
If Arcee shows the new direction of Binaltech line, then Takara, please, do not revive it.
Re: More Images - Binaltech Arcee & Convoy (707362)
Posted by First-Aid on May 24th, 2008 @ 10:19am CDT
I'm so excited...NOT.

Very very meh. The more I see "Arcee", the more I'm worried about the future of Binaltech. Primus help us

Of all the $$#@%$!%$$^@^! Couldn't Takara had remolded the Arcee's head for pete's sake!Give her the Princess Leia's mechanical hair buns............... :-x

Posted by T-Macksimus on May 24th, 2008 @ 10:30am CDT
I have to say that Classics Bumblebee look more feminine than this Arcee and this Prime, no matter how often I see him, still reminds me of RID Scourge with those large shoulders. I also thought his truck style was more Dakota-ish than Ram. I know the SRT is supposed to have a sportier look (hence the surf-board with the KISS players version) but...it's a RAM and it's Prime! It should be big, bad-ass and able to plow right through a throng of 'Cons. The leader of the Autobots should be pulling bad guys out of his grill not scraping bottom driving over casseticons

And yeah, Arcee is metro or worse. I've met women like that, and while I don't back down from any man, those women tend to make me nervous. :P That mold definitely need some "softening" up.

This Convoy is a pretty good improvement of both Alt. and the Kiss Players versions. Too bad "Arcee" isn't so good looking, watta a horrible use of this mold. You know, with a head swap of a Megatron toy, and repaint the pink into red, we'll finally have a Kiss Players Legion/Megatron. :grin: lolz
