dreadwing is mistransformers, ears on head are upside down

I prefer the other Bumblebee's alt. mode.

I agree with the general consensus on Arcee.

I don't mind Dreadwing, but the flame weapons are awful.

I'm thinking the movie Arcee here, is just sort of a bit of an redesign of the Energon ideas. Since it's a deluxe they can do a bit mode, but I guess I was expecting more than this.

I love BBs weapon, it's just a big mean katar and I can get into a stinger like that.

Dreadwing I'll most likely get, but, eh...

As for Arcee, these cleared and more detailed pictures make me like her alot less. She has a lopsided crotch face, and the windshield skirt (like on the Energon version) I can see being more of a hinderance than anything. I though she was going to more like BM BlachArachnia than the other BayFormers.

Dreadwing looks a lot better now that he's transformed correctly... Not sure how I feel about Bumblebee, though, and Arcee's face is kinda weird to me.

by **Nemesis_Apoc** » Sat May 12, 2007 3:30 pm

wow... i'm about 100 times more impressed with that Arcee figure now.

Arcee looks badly treated in those shots. That head is awful.
Dreadwing looks half decent.
And BB, while he looks ok, something just feels like it's missing.

Meh, is the word of the day.

Now this is Bumblebee. So much better looking than the old Camaro version.

Like everyone else, I agree that the alt modes of all three are great.

But I'm gonna disagree with the general consenus and say that I like Arcee. Could her face/head be better? Sure. And if we can get a decent head for Wreckage sense he's a Movie Game character but not a Movie character, then why couldn't we get a decent head for Arcee? But I still like her enough to buy her. And you could always just make her a Decepticon female. The alien/insectoid/monster faces of some of the TFs actually work *for* Decepticons, in my opinion. I mean, if you could tolerate a toy design if it had a different character name, then just buy the thing and call it whatever you want.

Dreadwing looks better, but I still can't stand the design of the alt mode. Not even a rename would save that guy.

And, like everyone else, I love Bumblebee, although I'll call him something else. Will buy as soon as I see him.

So if Skeletor & BM Black Arachnia had a kid, it might look like movie Arcee. I've warmed up to almost all the movie designs by now, but this one...yuck.

I still like Thrust...err, Dreadwing, and I'm glad to see that he doesn't have to rock out with his **** out.

Bumblebee looks neat. I'll probably pick this guy up.

by **Talous** » Sat May 12, 2007 5:18 pm

I'm really likeing the design for Arcee. Kinda nice in that "I'll kick your ass and the asses of every Transformer you have in your collection just because I can." sort of way.

Dreadwing, not so much. I didn't pick this guy up the other, (four?) times he came out. Not gona bite this time either.

Bumblebee, probably not bite either.

Arcee looks **** ugly

by **Rijie** » Sat May 12, 2007 5:37 pm

Bumblebee is the clear winner here.

by **OptimusShr** » Sat May 12, 2007 5:46 pm

Arcee is BUGLY.

However Dreadwing looks good, although I wish we had a better shot of the head sculpt.

Hmm, Dreadwing doesn't have a head sculpt. Its just a big camera like lens.

I wish they'd spent as much time on Arcee's face as they did designing her huge rack. She's a total butterface.

I'm sorry, but fembots should have pretty, feminine faces, alien robot or not. I like alot of the other movie designs but this is just unsettling. I'll have to see better pics before I decide on arcee.

I think perhaps the neck is mistransformed though.

Arcee- nice bike mode, clever design and transformation, shame about the head sculpt. Eurgh. I'm hoping it's just a bad angle.

Dreadwing- the tiny lower body cracks me up. I think I'll have to see this guy in the plastic before I make my mind up.

New Bumblebee- rawk. Very nice. They even managed to do the feet!

Wow. I'm going to be saving a LOT of money for the duration of the movie toys distribution. I haven't seen anything over the size of a Legends figure (other than the Real Gear toys) that I have much urge to own.

I hold out that maybe I'll change my mind after I see the film, but I kind of doubt it.

why cant we just get an arcee car...

by **Valandar** » Sat May 12, 2007 8:10 pm

Arcee... looks like garbage.

Well, I now know what to use for a female Junkion...

Arcee looks like a bad burns ward victim or the face melting of a terminator. ._.

by **Greed** » Sat May 12, 2007 9:21 pm

Arcee would be fin but that face, goddamn is she ugly.

Dreadwing makes me laugh with his tiny legs and huge torso.

BB looks pretty good though.

I don't know if this has been covered yet or not, but I looked real close...'08 Bumblebee has both arms, not just a hand and a gun arm. The gun snaps into his hand, if you look closely, you can see the fingers and thumb. SWEEET.
