It's really funny to me that the TV shows that had Arcee has produced far better toys of her than the G1 design

I think it helps that she is made for a concurrent show and not the idea of the character we have in our collective memories. Anyways, I have a G1 style arcee, even the headmaster version. I really don<t need another deluxe that is meant to be the G1 character. But one with cartoon aesthetic for a new cartoon line? Sign me up!

To be a little fair, she still looks very G1 in the show.

Not that anyone in this hobby has a problem collecting multiples of characters!

Seibertron now has a whole gallery with fresh new images and views of the Transformers Cyberverse / Bumblee Adventures display from the 2020 Toy Fair. Here we get clearer views and different angles for deluxes Arcee, Grimlock and Hot Rod as well as the upcoming Rack 'n' Ruin.

You can also spot Officer Class Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, Trooper Class Bumblebee Wildwheel, Meteorfire, Starscream and Megatron and warrior class cybertronian Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, Optimus Prime and Hammerbyte (who I guess is not cybertronian).

We have official images of these toys as well and they show that deluxe Grimlock can remove his crown. Hurray!

You can go to the entire gallery here or click on any image to be brought there. And you can click here to see all the different galleries we have for Toy Fair 2020.

Hot damn those deluxes look really good

I can't wait to see the next wave (I swear to god if these are all we're getting I will have to break something)

That Arcee... Ew, that's the ugliest head I've ever seen. Like a Gray alien or something. At least she don't seem to be a partformer. Starscream look also pretty weird.

However that Grimlock look awesome and that shark guy will be MINE.

I'm hoping it's the eyes. This is a hand-painted prototype, and her eyes look pretty poorly painted. There's clearly molded detail extending above the painted areas, it's like they missed almost half the surface of each eye.

Arcee looks decent otherwise. Her alt mode is a bit meh, but I checked the cartoon (thanks to Ig89ninja for pointing out the episode) and it's accurate. Too bad she's a shellformer, but I guess that's better that shellforming and partsforming. She's probably the only Cyberverse figure I might be interested in.

I wish that Warrior class "Cybertronian Mode" Megatron had a black buckethead helmet and a damaged left eye like he has in the show.

And here's hoping with get a large toy of Astrotrain.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

I actually really love Arcee's retro sci-fi girl space onesie look.

After having just watched Thunderhowl's debut episode, I want a toy of a new Cybertronian fauna that that episode introduced. It's called a Single Horn. What is a Single Horn, you ask? It is none other than a Cybertronian unicorn.

A Cybertronian unicorn that transforms into a rocket! That is awesome!

Hot Rod's vehicle mode is so reminding me of an old 1980's concept car that was never made into a production model. The 'edges' are so classic 80's. It's funny to think about... In the 1980's they tried to make Hot Rod's vehicle mode into a futuristic fantasy sports car and now we are in the future, past 2005 btw, we get retro-vehicle modes on some of the classic characters. I am just happy as a nerd can be with all the new renderings of classic G1 characters. The cycle has come around and this is truly a New Golden Era for Transformers and for the older fanbase of people like myself who grew up during the G1 era. I am over forty and trying to find certain figures in the recently released toylines of Transformers. I feel young again. I guess that makes me strange, I don't know. My hat is off to HASBRO and TAKARA-TOMY for all the great new releases and the ones yet to be released.

[ZeroWolf]

Interesting that they didn't show off Thunderhowl, yet the completed Maccadams was there

[Tigerhawk7109]

When are we going to get a full gallery of Thunderhowl? He and Iaconus are the ones I want most.

It's not just the eyes. She have a potato head and a wide creepy mouth.
Not even her mother would find her beautiful.

Grimlock's robot mode looks great, dino mode less so but not awful. Still decent, overall.

Arcee looks unironically good! Head is a bit weird but as designs go I actually like it a whole lot. The robot mode is really cute, reminds me of a mashup between G1, Animated and her brief appearance in Bumblebee. I love the car mode too, looks like a little city car/hatchback.

Starscream looks kinda terrible but the Vic Viper jet mode is awesome.

Well, that sucks.

I sincerely doubt Iaconus will be getting a toy since he's a Titan.

[Deadput]

I sincerely doubt Iaconus will be getting a toy since he's a Titan.

If Iaconus got a toy I think they should rename his alt mode into Tinycon eh?
