The Energon Pub

any comment on movie arcee scout class..?
i intend to buy that figure...

small, poopy,un proportioned, the bow and arrows too big.. i dont like it, its a pass for me. the deluxe looks wayyyyyy better... or you can get elita one

I say buy it. Its the same as all the other Arcees and is a great troop builder to create a fembot biker gang!!

The mostly blue deco is the best the mould has ever had imo.

Is this one more in scale with the other main line toys (i.e. the Movie Deluxes and Voyagers)?

i dunno, but i'm looking forward to the Elita-1 repaint...the blue looks too masculine on Arcee, plus there's already a deluxe-sized toy in the Movie line. i'd be much better off getting Energon Arcee and Elita-1.

I believe that it is. One reason I bought her. Thought she'd be rare, ordered from BBTS, then she just is everywhere here in Singapore.

She seems to be in better proportion to the movie Autobots. Deluxe is way too big, but has a much superior transformation process. The weapon is much nicer and in scale too, no BS energon weapon. If only Deluxe Arcee could have had Energon Arcee's face...

Elita-One is a nice colour. Not taking her out of the box though.

same thing happened here in the Philippines also. since there are no Targets (ever) here, we all were surprised when the leading mall chains started carrying supposed-to-be-exclusives Arcee, Armorhide, Air Raid, Skyblast, Strongarm, Elita-1 and Clocker. not only that, but lots of them in the capital region.

Zemper, you won't believe it. Yesterday I went to a TRU and I bought Armorhide and Air Raid. I've read here how popular he was so assumed that he'd be rare so I got him yesterday. Today I went back, and they'd restocked the shelves almost immediately. Arcee, Elita-One, Air Raid, Clocker, etc.

They were so full of these scouts that the pegs just wouldn't hold all of them, so they were on the floor. Reminds me of the glory days 2 weeks before the movie came out I think we're definitely going to see a lot more nearing Christmas!

I agree, I for one, really like that mold. I have the Energon version, the blue Target exclusive and the Elita-1 versions. I'd love to have all of the recolors of her.

I like my Elita-One. She's fairly easy and fast to transform. And it has something to see such a seemingly small and weak femme carrying a weapon her own size.
She looks like she can pack a real punch and hold her own in battle.

Mine resides on my desk, so I fiddle around with her from time to time. She's also the only Transformer in sight in my room, which might be the reason she was involved in two grabbing incidents by family members who than where unable to make her stand again .

She can be a bit difficult to balance while carrying her weapon, but once she stands, she stands.

She's fun, she isn't too expensive.

I just paid $60 for a BotCon variation on this toy.

Yeah, but the Elita- One and Movie Scout Arcee aren't that expensive and all they have is a different color.
Not to mention that I don't know Flareup, don't really care about Chromia, and prefer Elita's opaque bow.

Actually, I believe the Botcon head has some remolding to it, too.

that's a pretty awesome sight. i still have to get my hands on those scouts, but i'm gunning for Elita-1, maybe Armorhide if i have the extra cash. i hope the holiday season brings in more stocks; i still have to get Ironhide to complete my Autobot collection.

i got armorhide, and an elita one for a friend. if the elita ones are still available by next payday, i might pick up another one for myself! first fembot in my collection

you didn't get the deluxe Arcee? i thought that was pretty common there in Manila after the last restocks.

She's still pretty hard to find hehe (luckily i bought mine early)

All the major malls seem to have gotten are The legends allspark 2packs, The new scouts, and a WHOLE LOT OF dreadwings and payloads hahaha

And I agree with an earlier post; Deluxe arcee is just so much more impressive than the scout class. (Interestingly enough, the scout class in bot mode can ride on the deluxe class in alt mode... pretty cool looking)

That'd be an interesting strike unit: Arcee on Arcee. Reminds me of the Junkions from the animated movie.
