I'm also a moron for buying the igear arrcee

Heck, Hasbro probably "borrowed" iGear's design!

I guess thats there way to f*ck us for buying third party stuff from some one else,good luck every one who has this in invetory :sad:

I don't think they would really have enough time left before movie 3 to make T-cracker and Skywarp, unless one or both of them end up in multi-packs. And with TC already in Generations, he may be less likely to be produced. Then, of course, they may stick one in RtS or throw it in the next classics installment. But you can't make two without the third. Either just Sceamer or all three in my opinion.

I think we'll still see one.

The game wasn't a smash hit, but it was still enough of a success for a sequel. Video game sequels can be cheaper when you borrow things from the first game, such as character models. I really doubt any characters getting new forms. So the WFC seeker mold will be the same.
I'm sure we'll get it evetually.

I hope Arcee isn't a repainted Wreck Gar because if it is I think I will have to get the one from IGEAR even if the price is 4 to 5 times higher!

Warpath will probably be something akin to his look in the Rodimus vs Cyclonus comic, but if they'd mix it up, I greatly enjoyed Warpath's design in WFC. Something along those lines would be sweet.

Arcee? For reals? I'll believe it when I see it.

Just had a hilarious thought, what if this new Arcee is in fact a repaint of the upcoming G2 Prime?

That is wrong on so many different levels!!

Could be worse, could be Straxus......

First thought: Oh hells no.
Second thought: By this point, I wouldn't put it past them.

and warpath will be a remold of darkmount/skull grin

Unless Arcee gets the Drift/Blurr mold with a new head and in pink!

If Warpath gets the Dark Mount/skullgrin mold, that will be a waste, but he could get the new rumble/frenzy mold from WFC.

by **JokerFC** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 11:25 am

I dont see why Warpath would get the Straxus mold-doesnt mildly resemble any version of him.

Finally getting my head around the fact that these might just be coming out, so I hope that these are their Cybertronian (War For Cybertron) versions.

Before Skullgrin was announced, I was hoping we would get a LSOTW Impactor out of that mold. But I think I prefer having Skullgrin over anyone else.

wait were did someone say that though its a great mold id rather do something different for warpath and besides the design will be the one in the comic most likely and that doesnt look like darkmount/skullgrin

I'm still thinking that the Arcee is going to be a remold of Blurr\Drift.

Also, if Ehobby really have used the alternate head for their Junkion, I'm going to call the character as Armada Sideways, minus the Headmaster aspect.

You and me both bud. I was gonna try and hunt down one of those 3rd party Arcee's but I think I will wait and see what this one looks like. :KREMZEEK:

That's just pure speculation at this point.

Actually, now that you've mentioned it, that is a great idea for a repaint. It would fit too, given his penchant for dimension hopping.

I'd be all over that like stripes on a zebra.

You know, now that you mention it, I could live with that. Sleek enough to be reminiscent of her G1 altmode while being an Earth vehicle of which the Classics take the form.

I sure hope not! Admittedly, that would probably be the best Classics-styled mould to use, but a character like Arcee really needs her own mould, and I don't want three Autobots with the same mould unless they were that way in G1, like Prowl/Smokescreen/Bluestreak.

Agreed. After so long, G1 Arcee deserves her own mold.

Arcee having her own mold is the most likely scenario. Hasbro/ Funpub is probably already planning repaints from it. Elita-1, Chromia... you guys can do the math.

Wait for it....wait for it.....

Chromedome with Arcee repaint. :lol:

Im really looking forward to the Arcee figure, I'm going to have to buy two for historys sake (one for play, one for hanging on my wall)

Same here. Although I never buy figures for profit, it'll be worth it even more if her mold turns out to be excellent. I do keep back ups of most of my collection just in case. Either way, it should be interesting to see how much she'll be worth mint on card as time passes.

Probably the same loose, if not less. If you watch ebay enough, you'll notice that, for some reason, people bid more aggressively on loose figures. I don't get it.

Yeah, seeing my MOSC Land Military Minicon Team sell for £1 whilst a loose set sold for nearly 15 was pretty disheartening.

Aye, repaints and new head molds at least. My Botcon Elita One isn't bad... but she's a boat.
