Pascal from Cybertron.CA has got his hand on the upcoming ROTF FAB Arcee.
He is kind enough to share some new images of Arcee and also comparison with Deluxe Arcee & Human Alliance Arcee.

Pascal also did a review and gave his opinion on this toy:

" - transformation is easier and less frustrating than on the deluxe version (obviously) but pretty cool for a Fast Action Battler... simple and efficient

- bigger than Deluxe in bike mode but shorter in bot mode

- press the seat to fire the double missile

- torso is more aligned with the "legs" (wheels)... scoliosis no more!

- left arm is much longer than the right... a bit weird, but that's also the case with the Deluxe version, so...

- left arm has an elbow but not the right

- little fold out left hand is a nice touch

- you can kinda fake legs if you want

- only real drawbrack: visible face under the windshield in bike mode... I tried turning it around but it just won't fit

Probably one of my favorite FABs because like Movie FAB Frenzy, it feels a bit more like a Deluxe than a FAB."

I'm going to get FAB Sideways, Sideswipe, Arcee, and any other of the future biker sisters. Am I crazy? Yeah, probably, but atleast FAB Sideways has some sort of missile, and if Flareup/Chromia/Arcee Deluxes dont combine, then i'd rather have FAB Bikes that don't have mangled up corset torsos. And I need a Sideswipe to cut up a Sideways.

Overseas. That's how things are done these days.

For a FAB this looks really good. I like the FABs cause they're great for my boy who can transform them and he's three months shy of 3 years. Hasbro has really outdone themselves with the ROTF line.

Hmmm... I don't know which one I want. FAB or Deluxe? I already have Deluxe Chromia... Hmmm....

Defiantly looks way better than the deluxe version. I think this will be one of the few FAB figures i get. The only others that caught my are Long Haul & Prime.

I'll be getting Deluxe Arcee, and probably FAB Arcee as well. The FAB just looks better but the Deluxe triplets will combine so I'll also need that Arcee. I do think that the faces on the bikerchicks could have been done way better. They look very sharp in the movie, but on the toys they aren't great at all.

What country are you in? It's been out in the U.S. for a while now. I just got one recently at Walmart; they've had it at my local Walmart for weeks. It's also available at HasbroToyShop.com.

I think they seriously bungled the distribution on Arcee. I've been looking for one for over 2 months now.

So it's really like completely unavailable in some areas of the U.S.? I should have snatched up every one they had at Walmart and put them on eBay. I don't mean to make you guys jealous, but they opened a new Super Walmart in my town this summer, and their stock is ridiculous. They have almost everything, and the shelves are always overflowing.

Again, if you're in the U.S.: HasbroToyShop.com has it in stock.

I broke down and bought both Arcee and Chromia this weekend, and while I was prepared to be disappointed, I'm surprisingly happy with them. I didn't think I'd like the bot modes, so I figured I'd probably keep them in alt mode. But after playing with them, I really like their bot modes!

They opened another Walmart in my town this summer too and they have plenty of stock, but no wave 5 deluxes. I've seen plenty of Jolts and Ice Cream twins though.
