The Energon Pub

Not really doing it for me. Not that it isn't a great looking TF, but it just doesn't seem like Arcee.

As an updated ENERGON Arcee ... okay, sure. But a G1 ish Arcee ... not quite so much. Maybe this is our first 3rd party Energon homage.

Added the new images for PerfectEffects website, thanks Flux Convoy.

I'll probably get it and depending on colour will call it by another fembot's name.

I'm in this boat.

That looks PRETTY cool. I'm going to get it since I already have the rest of the PE series. But... C'mon Perfect Effect. I WANT MY GODDAMN RAMHORN HAMMER! They need to make the rest of them!

Not as feminine as you'd imagine but it's a pretty cool design.

So what do you use for your Arcee "stand-in", that small third-party one, Animated, or the original Energon Arcee? As much I admit I never cared for them before, but I did like that Animated Arcee, and I'm seriously thinking of getting one if I ever find one.

I use an Animated Arcee with uuser's custom head. I still think it's the best option, as I don't dig Delicate Warrior's design, and I just don't think this PE one would make a good Arcee. I think It would make a great Firestar, though, and possibly a good Elita-1...

I dont normally get behind Pe stuff, never liked their other projects but this one may just bea must buy...

Those who are complaining about this figure's feminity: what would you suggest as improvements? A handbag? Thirty different pairs of feet? A voice box with the phrases "stop scratching yourself" and "not tonight. I've got a headache?" Maybe a small hole inbetween her -alright, that's enough!

I like this figure, but not as Arcee. I've become rather smitten with IDW's feral banshee. I'm with Mkall and amcgrath929: if this comes in any colours other than pink I'll get it and name it something else. I wouldn't want this as a female Junkion though. The design is too futuristic and clean.

This is pretty impressive. I could definitely see it as a Classics/Generations-style Arcee. It looks really good for the size and style of figure. Knowing PE's pricing though, I'm betting it will be out of my price range. The maximum I would want to spend on a deluxe-sized figure would be $80.

I may have missed the comments, but I don't recall anyone in this thread complaining about the femininity of the mold :???:

I think he may be referring to this.(?)

Depending on what the final, painted version looks like, I may pick this up. Not a perfect Arcee homage but a pretty good looking figure. Certainly better than the other recent 3P Arcee offerings.

So what's the scoop on the maker? Are they known for high quality figures? What else have they made?

Here are most of their items:

In my experience they produce high quality products. I've never had any problems and I have just about everything they've put out.

nice! but for Arcee's fill in, I'm sticking with my Delicate Warrior. Need a non-motorcycle Arcee. but, wouldn't mind getting her for other Fembot

Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:03 pm

Super sexy although I have to say, the character doesn't really fit the alt mode.

I've pretty much come to terms that I don't really care who it's meant to be. I want a version of this mold. Sure, I'd like female Junkions or homages to any of the Botcon 05 bike girls, Arcee would be great too. I'm thinking it won't really matter who she is though. Looks fantastic and I'll be getting at least one.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:34 am

As a robot, I like it.

As a transformer, I like it.

As Arcee, not so much.

Depending on price, I'll probably get it, as I think it is an interesting bot, and I'm a sucker for a bike-bot. But I would probably be happier with a repaint/remold of this in Junkion colors or Cy-Kill colors, as others have suggested. Though I think TF Prime Arcee might make a better Cy-Kill.

Or maybe it IS supposed to be a Classics-style Energon Arcee. :-?

Well, if the shoulders and the hips weren't so wide, she would have a much better silhouette, IMHO. Also a longer neck would help. Far better than the stiletto heels she already has, or than the improvements suggested above :lol:

Tomopop have posted some up new up close images of PerfectEffect's upcoming PE-12 prototype. The figure is speculated to be an Acree homage, though at this point that has yet to be confirmed. These new images taken at Super Festival show the figure in much greater detail than we've previously seen. Take a look at the images mirrored below.
