There's definitely at least one more Junkion coming...

What about a core Wreck-Gar from Iguanas?

I dislike the new Arcee. Legends is better. Only the belly is an improvement.

And there's already the equally-sized Legends class Wreck-Gar from Combiner Wars, which looks a whole lot more like Wreck-Gar than scaly-lizard-bodied Iguanus.

There is also PotP deluxe Wreck Gar, which I'm keeping as just a random junkion. My CW Wreck Gar got a con symbol and was renamed Jester, and became a toady/6th member/bra for Megatronia. Completes the missing highlighter color motif with the limbs.

CW is still my Wreck Gar. He is an arm on Sky Reign (I think he was on that one...), and I wasn't really into the SS86 one. Junkyard looked cooler and I was ready to try him, but I'm just not enjoying him. Junkions aren't really my thing honestly, I don't care about getting a group of them.

Animated Wreck Gar is the only Wreck Gar I really need too

I think you mean PotP Wreck Gar as the one you have (I have both). CW Wreck Gar is the neon orange legends groove mold that can become the chest armor/bra for the CW Fire trucks, very last wave of CW. The PotP deluxe limb bot remold of deluxe groove was the Walgreens exclusive for whatever year that was.

Yeah, that is what I meant

Anyways, I found Arcee and Sideways at Target tonight, and I was rather positively surprised by Arcee. I had gotten the ER figure to rep her on my movie shelf, but the SS86 figure has some noticeable differences. Not expecting this, I never bothered with a review of the SS86 version, so in hand it was very convincing. So now I have 2 Arcees that at 1st glance look the same, but are completely different.

Got me again, Hasbro. Good job.

I found SS86 Arcee on Monday on a Target run. I was hoping to find Core Class Wheelie and Ratchet, but Arcee was a welcome surprise. I too think she’s pretty great. She is lacking in a few paint apps that the Legends release covered, but the remolded parts of the robot mode are all great improvements, especially the hands. The new transformation for the legs and back of the alt mode works well, and most of the hinges are pinned in. The backpack folds up neatly too and isn’t that much larger than before. The alt mode looks so much more on model now too. Unlike the Earthrise/Kingdom release, the plastic feels more substantial and higher quality, even though some of the car paneling is quite thin. It’s a bit of a bummer that she gets far fewer accessories than the T30/LG version, and the transformation into vehicle mode can be a little fiddly, but overall, I think we have a real contender for a definitive Deluxe scaled G1 Arcee figure.

Legends still wins.

T-30 if you can paint.

The only real improvement was the belly and ditching the light piping.

They even muted the shade of pink.



The only way to make a 100% accurate Arcee was if the legs were made of clay and changed color when you stretched them.

I'll be honest, I like the Legends belly.

It's a little creepy, and has no waist swivel

"Creepy"? How come? Is it the belly button?
This only means that Arcee's protoform grew in some sort of vat chamber, linked via her belly by a cable. Then when she finally was ready to be born, her birth was a bit more... brutal than expected, leaving that deep scar on her belly.

That is all.

I meant the way the belly is so...smooth.

Ah? That's a first.
Usually it's the infamous belly button that makes people talk.

I think most have become numb to it so it barely registers. I'm curious as how it's smoothness is creepy as the opposite wouldn't be right either.

And seeing as how it becomes part of the underside of her car mode, I would think smoothness would be a requirement to prevent it from rubbing against the ground and keeping her from rolling properly.

I mean how curvy she is there. She is more boxy, accurate, with a less offensive belly button on the 86 release. (not that I like the 86, it seems crap)

Key word: "seems".
If you take the time to gauge the reviews and the general consensus, most people say that SS86 Arcee is the best "G1" Arcee so far. Maybe even beating the MP considering the overal price and simplicity.

If you can return opened toys at your local store, just get the SS86 to try her out and if you don't like her, simply return her.

I did that a few times when I was in doubt, or in cases of nasty surprises.

I refuse to buy an action figure with a car on it's back displaying as a transformer. Not my thing.

You've just described most Bayformers toys BTW.

You're speaking to a user who hates Bayformers, BTW.

At least you're consistent.
I guess you don't like shellformers, no matter the series or style I guess.
