So let me get this straight.
- Hasbro starts a new Aligned Continuity and reinvents numerous characters. This was big news.
- Hasbro starts a new series called Transformers Prime, which has been mentioned here virtually every week for around two years.
- Takara Tomy joins in and changes the tone, which has them showing their recent release of "Arms Micron" figures and other items.
And yet, none of this matters because you assume that they made errors and Hasbro are idiots... Despite the fact that the photos shown are not from the Hasbro line? That is "very observant" of you.
Sarcasm aside, this incarnation of Arcee has been around since the debut of Transformers Prime. Smokescreen became a new recruit from the second half of season 2, and has been impressive ever since. And like another said, they are not aiming to remake Generation 1... They are continuing a tradition that was started with Car Robots, Micron Dentsu Trilogy, and so on.
