Valkarie had back kibble. Original cost: $80.00

Delicate Warrior had back kibble. Current cost: $110.00

Now Hasbro gives you all an official classics Arcee at less than ¼ the price and you expect a miracle of engineering ?

You all should be happy you finally got an Arcee that’s both a car and cartoon accurate pink. I personally like it and could care less about the back kibble. I pose my figures facing forward not turned around.

Post of the day, honestly this is virtually the iGear version for 1/4 of the price and people are complaining? No wonder Hasbro do half arsed molds when they get complaints about the ones they actually get right.

I personally don't quite understand the negativity that seems to be following this figure either. It's Arcee, it Transforms, and is unashamed to be pink! FINALLY!

[Evil Eye]

Agreed. This is perfect. I do like Delicate Warrior (mainly because she looks so cute) but this is basically a perfect Arcee. If I didn't have my TFA Arcee I'd go for this.

I wonder if that "backpack" can be taken off without making a mess of things. I don't have any particular disliking for it, but it does make her look bulky. I wouldn't mind having an untouched as-Hasbro-made-it figure (so she can be transformed at leisure) and a figure for taking pictures with (because that bulky backpack seems like it might limit things, as far as composition goes).

Guess I'll get one and see what I can do picture wise first xD

[griftimus prime]

not a fan of the belly and the translucent weapons. but i will still be getting two of them.

[Shockwave7]

Arcee deluxe looks pretty good, except for those huge 'child-birthin' hips. I know it was probably unavoidable from a mechanical standpoint, but still....

[chuckdawg1999]

After watching the review it seems like Hasbro was trying to cover both the G1 and IDW styles with this figure. The backpack isn't that bad and is in keeping with the G1 design.

Courtesy once again of fellow Transformers fan from Australia, Tober, we get an in-hand look of Generation Arcee's wave-mate: Generations Deluxe Chromia! Tober has also provided his thoughts on the Camien bodyguard, which can be found here, and some of the images have been mirrored below - check them out.

Thanks for review I fast forward through articulation same with all other any video reviews I see

[Blozor]

Her back looks horrible. Hasbro is really slouching on engineering and quality with this round of Generations compared to previous years. Third party companies are kicking their butt at design and engineering right now. Quality is about on par with the third parties anymore, unfortunately.

what's up with the Femme Bots having their "rear ends" censored?

Because a robotic cleavage in front is bad enough for some

[guarayakha]

I find it rather baffling that Hasbro has the budget to do a remold for this and not think of making that backpack removable, you know, like in the comics?

[gothsaurus]

Might not have passed child safety tests for choking. Time to get out that pin remover.

[Evil Eye]

Chromia looks nice. I already have a Prime Arcee standing in as Chromia though, and I don't like this enough to replace her.

Boy after seeing the paint differences between the Hasbro and the Takara one, I can not for the life of me even stomach looking at the Hasbro one. Too much black. Takara one completely show accurate. I'll take Takara.. I'm actually getting real tired of Hasbro's paint apps. They were getting better for a while, but it seems that they don't care or know proper paint schemes for these characters anymore.

Where i this picture of Takaras version? Ive done a google search but cant seem to find any.

Thanks

Not sure I like it considering it will be insanley priced as all Takara stuff is, I'll stick with the Hasbro one, actually quite like the black on her helps to break up the colour scheme the Takara one looks a little incipid.

Have you checked BBTS? Takara ones are only 30 dollars. The way the dollar is continuing to decrease in value, our Hasbro ones will only go up in price. For 15 more dollars you get a superior product that you'll be happier with and have saved an economic cost of post-market price-gouging by scalpers later. I kind of wish now that I had done the same with a lot of the Henkei classics figures back in the day now. Thankfully an ex girlfriend got me the Henkei Optimus Prime voyager mold. Love love love that toy. But yeah, Chromia and Windblade also look a lot better. Same mold, I just don't want to have to learn to paint them myself, and that's worth 15 dollars to me. I can't wait to see Takara's Jhiaxus. Hopefully it's the more accurate deco.

I'm based in the UK so after shipping still works out expencive, besides I actually prefer the black on her.

[leakin' lubricant]

I like the black on the Hasbro one, it helps to break up the pink. Hope Kapow Toys get her in stock soon, after 28 years of waiting for a G1 Arcee then I'm very eager to find out if she's been worth the wait. Looks great.

I eMailed Kapow about my preorder, they are expecting her in stock around the 10th.

I'm outside the US too so I am in the same boat. Sticking to Hasbro

[shajaki]

engineering on chromia looks damn near the same as some of the prime arcee's. and that back kibble could have folded up a LOT cleaner than that. otherwise, its still pretty nice.

[Sabrblade]

Isn't that a trait of all remolds?

[Evil Eye]

I've just realized something: this Arcee figure has the sexiest stomach in the entire franchise.

A Springer/Sandstorm-leveled remold, yeah.

More like Max-B/Thrustor/Dirgegun/Hellscream-leveled remolding.
