As awesome as she looks whats up with the left foot? and am not sure on that silver for her face .

She's got such dainty feet being a very lady-like fembot.

(That's an extra piece that allows Azalea to stand without assistance. I believe you can remove it to keep the dainty look.)

I don't even know why I remembered him... such a character.

Haha, I miss that guy. He'd be going nuts.

Nice looking number. Will definitely take this over the other 3P Arcees.

I don't like her head/face. Those white bits that overlap her cheeks come in too far and it kinda looks off to me.

makes a horrible arcee but an awesome elita one. And Medic would be better as moonracer. I hope someone does alternate heads...

Can't say I'm digging the face much either. Kinda reminds me of dough-eyed and dim-witted Trans-Mutate.

Yeah, I can see that. The only one I'd be interested in would be Arcee though, so if they don't make an alternate 'more G1 Arcee' type head for her, I'm out.

I think this looks great....Pre-Orders needed to be up like yesterday!!!

I can't fault the face by just a bad home paint job... It probably would benefit from some extra "lipstick" coloring anyways.... blue or pink I would think....

I missed this when he first posted it up but Vange1us put a non transformation video up of the prototype ( not sure if it's been posted) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... Q3j4#at=35

I finally ordered a delicate warrior which should be in next week. I'm not sure how anyone thinks this Arcee is more G1 than delicate warrior with all that pointy stuff going on. On the other hand, the combination of the body and alt mode just screams Elita One. And if the colors of the last renders are accurate, the lighter than teal color on the green one more closely resembles G1 Moonracer than Paradon Medic. Does anyone from Shapeways make a deluxe sized Elita One or Moonracer head ? If yes, I think I just found the perfect bodies.

TechromDesigns made some pretty sweet femme bot heads at Shapeways. You can check them out here:

He didn't make any Elita One or Moonracer heads, unfortunately. You might want to search around TFW2005 in their Radicons sub-forum, though. I remember another Shapeways artist selling femme bot head designs as well, and he might have the ones you need.

Good luck.

Yes Predaqueen...

I don't like it. This looks just as bad as Animated Arcee does. I do find the six pack on the Abdomen amusing.

Her body looks OK, but that head is just funky and somewhat oversized I think.

This lass looks okay by me but I wonder what the recently announced Hasbro version will look like? IDW stylings?
Until I see some prototype shots or photoshopped pics from Hasbro I will be holding off placing an order from MMC who will now be pushing their factories before they get hit by Hasbros unseen offering!

I'm not even sure that announced Arcee is a legit item. I'd be happy to be wrong, but it's just that Arcee it treated differently than all the other Generations listings.

Time will tell.

Well, it wouldn t be the first time folk have been trolled, but with those recent Hasbro customer service listings (whatever?) that mentioned Arcee twice with two different codes, Im hoping we might here something sooner rather than later?

I concur.

I actually think I'm going off this a tad. The proportions are a bit whampy. Despite its problems I do still like PE's Motobot. She just looks more warrior-like.

The whole thing is off.

I noticed the foot kibble from the original pic and the orange and red version has switched feet. That must be, i'm assuming, some sort of peg in support stand? Maybe?
Like a GI Joe fig or something. Could be cause those feet are so tiny and there is no heel spur to speak of. She's possibly top heavy with that back kibble.

Overall i think it's a pretty decent fembot mold. I'm not diggin the head sculpt or the feet though.

Yes, I believe that is correct. I don't remember where I read it, but I think MMC said that the foot stand was being used to keep her upright, while allowing for very (stereotypical) feminine feet.

sorry for bringing this back from the dead.

Just want to talk about this. Just sold my PE motobot at bit of a lost cause I just don't like Arcee being a bike, but now there is a huge hole in my collection. Any chance of this thing coming out this year? Is Hasbro's Arcee going to kill this project? what does everyone think?

I'm sure it'll come out, but I don't know about this year.

According to MMC's website, this is slated for Q2 2014. Given their love of high quality figures (and the delays that come with them) I'd guess Sept or Oct of 2014. Just a guess based on past performance.

I'll keep my Motobot and/or get MMC Azalea depending on Hasbro's Arcee's size, paint apps and such. If Scoop and Armada Starscream are any indication of upcoming releases, then I'm definitely not interested in Hasbro's take on the character. I don't like my toys looking like cheap KOs, and that's what those two look like to me.
