PerfectEffect have updated their blog with new prototype images of their Motobot PE-DX01. As you can see in the comparison shot with Generations Kup and Reveal the Shield Wreck-Gar the figure will be roughly Deluxe scale. Images mirrored below.

Thats a mighty fine rack the ladybot has going on there and look at those heels!!! :grin:

I need to set up a pot in my bank account for all these lovely up coming Transformers and 3rd party lovelies...

That... is looking pretty darn impressive, actually. I've yet to buy any 3rd party not-Arcees; perhaps this will be the one that breaks the trend.

I'm still pretty excited for the mold. Looking great! I'm hoping for lots of repaints from this. There are so many that could be done to homage femme bikebots. I'm personally hoping for Flamewar and Junkion.

Scale is perfect, looks great! Sign me up and take my cash!

Looks great. I'd buy it.

I would like to see those large gaps on her feet filled though.

looks almost... "Official". HasTak should hire some of this 3rd. party designers, they´ve nailed the "Classics" styling to perfection.

I'd buy one of those.

Gimme dat!

She looks great! I think this may be the first 3rd party Arcee I buy, depending on price

Okay so just to clarify things, this a second character for this mold yes? Cause this thing is awesome but just as awesome as the previous figure that has been posted which I am still waiting for...Perfect Effect I'm looking in your direction. Quit holding out gundam-it!! :VEHI:

I so want one, but now I'm worried that they might announce a Nightbird retool after I do get one. :-(

Cause that design would work so well as Nightbird, what with the swords and stuff.

No, this is a prototype, as in this is the zeroth version of the character. First version will be pink, second version will (most likely) be blue.

I would definitely buy this in black.

by **gothsaurus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 2:37 pm

Scale, proportions, sculpt... spot on perfect. I'd buy this in a rainbow of colors, though different head sculpts would cinch the deal.

If quality is up to par, this may be the most official Arcee we get. (?) Unless HasTak pulls something out of their sleeves between their larger lines.

I'm actually really sad Classics has to be the "bastard stepchild" to the Movie lines, Animated, Prime, etc. It's not just a playful little PowerCore line or Robot Heroes... I don't know why it can't get more focus — a longer run, more figures, some Voyager size bots (or larger), repaints and retools release on a timely schedule... I'd love to see more than two or four released at a time.... more like a full line of toys.

We've been crying for an Arcee for decades.

That shot of MB reaching back for those swords = sold...Pure money~!

Looking good! I'm becoming more interested, but knowing my limited budget I doubt I'll be able to get it. Still, it would make a good Classics Arcee, unless Hasbro gets off their butts and makes one of their own.

Very nice. I don't even care what the price will be. I've certainly wasted enough on other attempts that only gave me "okay" (something third parties should NEVER go near for what they charge). PE, however, has built up some good will, so I'm eager to see Motobot and her sister.

by **Motorthing** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 4:18 pm

Buying!

Now just get on and make the damn thing.

News Credits: 409 · by **Stormrider** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:23 pm

So how has PE done with their other creations (quality wise)?

by **gothsaurus** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:28 pm

Quality has been really good from all I've gotten. Only complaint here has been items being a little smaller that I'd have liked... and odd alt modes. Robot modes have all been really nicely done.
