Total agreement here. It wouldn't have made the figure better overall, but it would have made her different. Different enough to be more worth the effort.
It was a convention/retailer exclusive with confusing distribution, but we just got a Titan Master Arcee three years ago. The TMs we've gotten in WfC were the last of the standard headmasters, they're exceptional. I'm disappointed in the figure, but valuing G1 accuracy with removable kibble is more consistent with the overall line than another Headmaster would be.

I realize these are probably floating dates, but even if that's true Wave 2 is going to be short. Seems like those guys (whatever I'm getting for myself and my son) will have to be gotten pretty quickly.
Time between initial distribution of waves /= length of distribution of those waves.

Unlike Scorpinok, you mean?![]()
Titan Master Arcee is a pink Blur. I mean, it exists. But it's not really a great representation of Headmaster Arcee.

QFT. TR Arcee is just not very good. Not even because she's not that accurate, but rather because she's so obviously just Blurr in very bad cosplay. Also the attempt to meld Blurr's cockpit chest with Arcee's traditional torso design makes her look like she's wearing a see-through top, which is admittedly rather funny.
Honestly, I'd rather we just got a redesigned Arcee at this point. If Megatron can be a tank (which I wholeheartedly support) I see no reason why Arcee can't have a robot mode that can actually transform without just being a retool of a guy. Someone posted a redesign of Arcee, and I have to say I quite like it.
Still looks feminine without just looking like a non-transforming gynoid wearing a backpack.
Not to mention, it's rarespensive.Gauntlet101010 wrote:AcademyofDrX wrote:Gauntlet101010 wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I really do think they should have made her a Titan Master to balance out the shortcomings.

Eh, "very bad cosplay" would be if they hadn't given her the new shield, upper arms, and hand covers. They weren't going to make an entirely new Deluxe mold for an exclusive, and out of all the Titans Return molds, Blurr was the most suitable.Black Hat wrote:QFT. TR Arcee is just not very good.

The thing is,the recent tank Megatrons have still preserved the Walther-based legs and and arms for the sake of still resembling the cartoon design. And Arcee's design ended up with humanoid legs... The fact that she has a curvy car mode as well as a curvy robot mode means that it should be possible to make that design transformable (unlike Elita's squad, where they'd be better off giving up on most of the bot mode curves because of the boxy, angular altmodes). The T30 toy already proves that better integration is possible (and doesn't idiotically go out of its way to try vanishing the wheels), and I'm certain there are ways to improve beyond that... I reiterate that it would help if she'd gotten a toy in 1986 like she was supposed to, because then designers would have that as a baseline to work off of instead of just the animation model.Black Hat wrote:Honestly, I'd rather we just got a redesigned Arcee at this point.

...Or maybe an Autozam AZ1?
For added fun, add back some of the black from the T30 release, increase the white, give her a red light and boom, world's cutest police car, and also stealth homage to the pink vehicle from Power Rangers SPD/Dekaranger!

Originally released under the Titans Return banner, this set is a US release of the Japanese decos. They're simple figures that can be fiddly at times, but really don't move the needle one way or the other. If you had them as a kid like I did You'll probably be moved to pick them up.

Well we do have plenty of rumours that Prowl is coming in a two pack with an Earth mode Ironhide.

The Prowl/Ironhide two-pack isn't a rumor, it's a straight-up listing on multiple of the European Amazon sites, and Bluestreak as some kind of exclusive that would get a full case all to himself was also a leaked listing in a store database. These are beyond rumors at this point.

We use "rumor" to indicate anything Hasbro hasn't come out and confirmed themselves.

Ah, fair enough.
