Multiple repaints

They've been making bootleg copies of all the Gestahlt teams. Defensor, Superion, Menasor, Devistator, etc. I wouldn't mind seeing a bootleg of Computron. He was my favorite!

Well some are not complete. Menasor does include Nosecone, and Afterburner from the Technobots, and is minus two of his own team. Defensor seems to be of the highest quality of these KOs that I have seem.

Bruticus does have a KO BTW.

I love my WST size KOs of them all!

Yeah right what? Can you elaborate a little for the good of the thread? Cause I am not sure if you were somehow referring to my post, or if you were referring to this being a movie Arcee.

Just curious.
the toy
what do you think!

I just hope that the Deluxe one is a new mold. I would love it if she was more like the animated movie. So long as she is pink And has the Leia buns on her head, I will be happy.

I dont think override looks anything like her G1 car form maybe just the sleek lines of the car thats about it.. If they were to make a G1 Arcee it would have to be a new mold , not based off anyone else or a repaint.. Hasbro has gotten way to lazy with amount of repaints they been putting out and slaping new names on..

I have Overide GTS, and the more I think about this, the more I think ShGarland_1383 might be on to something. Remold the head a little; repaint in a pink and white scheme (or if they are going to try to be consistent to the movie, olive green with pink piping ); the feet looking somewhat feminine with boots on like the smaller motorcycle Arcee; the transformation very closely resembling what I've seen described about movie toy automorphing...

I'm thinking Arcee may indeed be a repaint of Override.

I've got to go back and reread that. I do not remember her being a motorcycle. Thanks for pointing that out.

I haven't read the 2nd and 3rd issues yet, I am going to get them today, but does it show her in the comics as a motorcycle? Does anyone have a picture of it? And I haven't read the Ghosts of Yesterday or Prime Directive books yet, either.

I reread the first two issues, and skimmed the third. I don't see Arcee transformed anywhere. Where did you see that? (Incidentally, the only character who actually appears to be transformed in the first two issues is Megatron. The rest seem to appear only in robot mode.) Arcee only appears in Issue 1 if I saw everything correctly...


And as another aside, anybody see the homage to G1 Optimus in the most recent movie prequal issue (#3)?
