THANK YOU.

No, the laziest Arcee design you've ever seen is her animation model, where the kibble magically poofs away

In fact, the Legends version is probably still the best version, what with it's cartoon perfect paint applications and the fact that it doesn't parts form and all pieces are integrated into both modes. I may actually pass on Earthrise Arcee. It's a shame, because the head sculpt is gorgeous and the robot mode looks very good, but the paint apps are a step back from the Legends version, and that "hoverboard" represents worse partsforming than Earthrise Cliffjumper.
I can clearly see a port in her back kibble where the shield/hoverboard would connect, and from the looks of it I'm fairly sure she can be transformed without actually detaching it. Another thing to consider: While she does, annoyingly, have a faux-parts chest, she also has a waist swivel. Which the T30 figure could never dream of having.blackeyedprime wrote:Scorponok... I kind of expect titan classes to need hasbro employee.. Erm.. Third party upgrades, but even with upgrades it will have some awful flaws still.
Robot mode: really needs the chrome bits to beef his legs up
Eh, I don't think the legs lose
that much without them. And they're still present in some form, albeit somewhat flatter. They even detach and migrate for base mode!

1. That is a shame, but he has at least one set of them so it could be worse. 2. Who says that the double guns he has can't be detached and held in his hands like Fort Max's leg guns? 3. It's the price of having ankle tilts in something that big and blocky, especially with the base mode ramps being built into the legs.

1. They look like they might have some articulation. The angle doesn't help with telling whether they're separate. Mind you, even on the original toy they're smushed pretty damn close together. I should know, I own one (minus Zarak and most of the accessories, but I do have the shield, the rifle, and the helmet) 2. Disappointing, but it's not an enormous heartbreak. 3. The mandibles look WAY better than the original toy's.
blackeyedprime wrote:Base mode: lack of orange parts/lifts/missile flaps and plug in dishes etc.
He has the shield tower, which is more important to the look of the base mode than the dishes, elevator platform, and repair arms. They'd be nice to have, but they're not as critical. I also don't have much hope that a 3rd party would do them any time soon;
Titans Return Trypticon came out two years ago and there's still no sign of anyone making
his minor peripherals, so...
I would like everyone to keep in mind that there are plastic limitations even for Titan-class figures, and the fact that unlike Metroplex and Fortress Maximus,
Scorponok has the scorpion tail to contend with. And despite that, he still comes with two of the double cannons, the leg add-ons, and his arm shield (which would make a good bashing weapon).
For me, these reveals are all quite solidly "Shut up and take my money!"
