Sort of like if T-30 switched into a turtleneck, but took her bra off.

It hurts her a lot that's she's Blurr in a line with a lot of Blurrs. I have a lot of deluxe G1 and G1-ish Arcees between official and 3P releases, so I was tempted to nab it up. But I just couldn't. There's a lot of remoulding, but at the end of the day I just cannot unsee Blurr in both modes and it broke the streak.

I know a lot of people love it, and I know it did better at integrating the robot mode and vehicle mode together than the ER mold, but...... Iunno, I just kinda lowkey hate how it looks. The way it's designed, like, the designers took Arcee's thing of like "kinda like a robot version of a stereotypical feminine human form" and literalized it/took it to an extreme in a weird way. Among other things, she has an unsettlingly human midriff. That and I always had trouble getting her to stand. I'd probably put TR Arcee somewhere on the list in her stead, if not in first place.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Well as disturbing as Acree's general character design is, that just so happens to be accurate so any version making a toy of that version is gonna end up like that.
God I hate G1 Arcee as a design, there is no good way to make it work without changing it drastically, it just so happens that the T30/Legends version is the best engineered of an inherently awful design.

It is a very solid and fun figure. I regret selling mine off years ago.

Really?? Is there a particular reason why? It seems like it's a pretty terrible execution, especially since we have other G1esque versions available now.
