As reported earlier, Impossible Toys is making a transforming figure that is based heavily on Arcee's image that will stand approximately 13cm tall, which is 5.15 inches to scale with G1, Classics/Universe or Movie figures.

They have updated their site again with more images; this time a computer generated rendering of her model, which will indicate a very G1-esque paint scheme.

Click here to see all the images.

You're beatiful, you're beautiful, it's true.
This song just came to my mind when I saw this. :APPLAUSE:

I hope the finished product will be like this or dare I say, surpass it? Looks cool.

I can't believe we're going to get a "knock-off" / 3rd party version of Arcee before we get an official one from Hasbro / TakaraTomy. Urgh.

Just shows where their priorities are I suppose. At least there's an Animated version that's official to that canon.

Looks pretty real to me, i can figure out the conversion based on the images. Nice.

Well, there was a Binaltech Arcee, but he, umm... she, well, you know.
And yes, I agree, why can't Hasbro/TakaraTomy make a proper Arcee toy that is not a Robot-Hero or gets cancelled?!!! Even Animated Arcee was/is close to that fate!! I mean, how many toys are there for Arcee in the live-action movie? She doesn't even look a little like G1 Arcee.

Looks freaking brilliant.

Wowzers! I don't check the site for a couple days, and BAM! Rodimus PRime upgrade and new pics of this! I'll definitely be checking TFSource and BBTS for the preorder!

Looking good. How easy it´s for Hasbro to make this gal part of the Universe re-launch.

Well, that's a hat trick for my WANT list for today :grin:

MUCH better :grin:

The prototype shots, the seemingly overly large head and wide hips made it look like they were shooting for the Titanium series toy HasTak never made.

However, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume these CGI pictures are accurate to the model and not just designs. Based on these, I have to say this will be SWEET.

Excluding the exo-suits, this will be the first full transformer Impossible Toys is making. We all know FansProject is working on a Springer; I hope Impossible gives them a run for their money on this one :wink:

Check out those birthing hips!

Yeah, ImpossibleToys' Arcee looks better ... so far. Those hips show NO articlation. And it looks really silly. I'd have bought it only to own a representation of G1 Arcee, but ... that's it.

Yeah it looks really good, but I don't think they will make a Headmaster Arcee variant tho...

I just hope she is affordable... =P~

Well I hope it is 3 things...

1. a good production run, no errors in the actual final product, and good plastic

2. in scale with the rest of the deluxe sized Classics figures, and reasonable in price

3. the gaps in the altmode are fixed somehow in the mold..becaus eit looks cheap with all the holes between the legs and the seats..
