I sure do. First eBay listings have the gals listed at $200.

Soooooo... anyone going to SDCC this year?

No.

I hope I can find this set for around 75 dollars or less on Ebay.

This times 10 with a cherry on top... And an 80's German fem mullet. :lol:

They are either the back up singers for The Knights of Cybertron, or their rivals in the intergalactic battle if the bands.

Just noticed in that IGN robot toy image, Arcee is crying blood instead of having her face tattoo...

News Credits: 3 · Fri Jun 05, 2015 2:34 pm

That's a pretty awesome looking set.

Oh yeah I didn't notice that!

I REALLY WANT THIS SET! Hopefully I can find it for less than $100.00 on Ebay.

I don't like their faces, but otherwise they're not bad.

Those weapons are ridiculous though. :lol:

As cool as this set is I'm not sure if it's cool enough to justify the inevitable insane secondary market prices...

Also, I REALLY hope the comics don't decide to go full Tumblr feminist "HURR LOOK AT US STRONG INDEPENDENT MARY SUE WOMEN KILLING ALL THE COMBINERS GURRRRRL POWAH". I mean, the concept of Arcee, Chromia and Windblade hunting Devastator is awesome, but...I dunno, it might be irrational but I have a forboding feeling of dread about the execution of the story. Call it intuition.

I'm not seeing any problems with this considering that's Optimus in the movies

I never said THAT was good either. Although the comparison is a little off given the particular brand of stupidity I'm referring to is the combination of "UNKILLABLE MARY SUE BADASS LOL" with "ERMAHGERD MUH STRONK EMPOWERED WOMAN WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN".

There is a difference between having tough girls that need to be tough to survive and get the job done, and having tough girls taking the roll of the guys and the guys being the wimps. In this picture for example:

It's not Elita one being tough for a good reason, it's to make optimus look like a wimpy girl.

Alright, let's cut to the chase. Where's Elita-One and her crew?

Uh oh it's the boss! :BOWDOWN:

Yeah! Where is Moonracer? And Beta? And other G1 fembots?

And guys, just on a side note, when was the last time we got a good Moonracer figure from Hasbro and/or Takara?

Moonracer with Firestar, anyone? Blame trademarks on this. On that note, have an Elita-1:

Making Optimus look like a wimp is a very good reason - though in that image, a favourite of mine, he's being emotionally taken by the strength of his established partner (which is the exact reversal of what usually takes place in TF fiction). And 'girl' is not an insult, so not sure what you're getting at here.

I would invite both Delta Magnus and Silly to read the current IDW ongoings, in which all three characters have been established in their distinct and individual personalities. Combiner Hunters, if anything, will build on that.

In addition, perhaps something on positive, wider representation and diversity in fiction, too.

OK, at first I wasn't into this set at all(except for Arcee a little), but the more I look at this...

The more I think about these gals...

The Pointer Sisters

Or even better, these fly fillies...

And we all know who was behind the MJ Girls,
This guy...

and since I have this guy ...

playing the role of that guy...

I think now I really need this set!
:lol:

I thought that was the last Moonracer we have gotten. 8-|

Hasbro/Takara, make it happen.
We also need a new Elita-1, not some cheap repaint, but an original mold. Or at least a good remold like Generations Chromia.

ergh...not really digging these re-decos. Honestly, as a group they look pretty awful and they are rather pointless. If they were supposed to be new characters it would be cool but as existing characters I...no. These are dreadful.

Well that is too bad because I think they look AWESOME! I couldn't get the original version of Arcee, so getting one, with not only an awesome paint scheme, but also fixed hands, and a bunch of new and pointless weapons? Must buy for me! =)
