I am really not too keen on the entire back half of arcee's car mode just being a separate piece you remove for robot node, even less that it is being called a "hoverboard" it makes a very good looking robot mode feel cheapened imho

as for the rest though, all amazing. Can't wait to finally have a proper Sky Lynx and Scoponok

[Evil Eye]

Arcee looks...alright. The hoverboard idea is good in theory but just making it the rear of the car mode sucks.Rest of the figure looks alright, though I'll probably stick with my LG version.

Fasttrack looks awesome! Also great to see him made, as now Slammer is the only Titan companion with no toy (yet).

Scorponok's robot mode looks alright but the base mode is lacking and the tail on the scorpion mode is feeble.

Sky Lynx looks pretty nice in general. Not a big Sky Lynx fan but he does look good.

[ZeroWolf]

Ah so that's Arcee robot mode, looks better then the mp Is Fast Track not a weaponizer then?

[Autobot N]

Arcee and Sky Lynx are god-tier

[no-one]

Ah so that's Arcee robot mode, looks better then the mp

That's sad but true

I'm digging her head/face sculpt, looks better than the T30 to me.

EDIT: I'm starting to think Arcee's hoverboard doesn't integrate into bot mode

He is, the RiD type to be exact:

WFC-E35 Decepticon Fasttrack bot mode also changes into a "staff that can be held by Titan Class figures."

[Sabrblade]

The Scorponok middleman figure would look much better color-contrast-wise if his face was gray or silver or any other color different from the rest of his head.

Like this:

[Skritz]

I just hope the color on the actual toys are good. Remember Apeface in renders vs toy?

[Autobot N]

Also, I like how Sky Lynx's shuttle mode is named Magnificence

[DMSL]

I dislike Arcee she is a step back from the previous version(Takara), which is far superior. The other stuff looks fantastic.

I didn't even notice that. Also has the NASA logo on it, that's interesting.

[Decepticon Stryker]

These are good. I wish Arcee's alt-mode back half would form a shield or actually collapse a bit more.

[morganprime]

Well that's the laziest Arcee design I have ever seen.

[TulioDude]

Can't wait to see the size comparasion between Scorponok and the others titans.


Also,if they had to call Arcee's hoverboard,a "hoverboard",they could at least make it change shape into something more distinct from the car mode.

I can already see a peg on what looks to be a rotating joint, could yet be used as a shield

Considering shields/ramps are this lines gimmick, I'd be shocked if it cannot be used as a shield. I'm just hoping it can be pegged into the backpack. I'm starting to suspect it cannot.

[TF-fan kev777]

Well Acree is disappointing, T30 verison gets to stick around.

Fasttrack and Sky Lynx look good, definite buys.

Scorp will also be a definite buy (I have all the other titans, so I'm not breaking ranks now), but I am a little disappointed by a few items. It looks like there are only 2 ramp connection points, I was hoping they might throw us a bone and include at least one TR type ramp connector so you could connect him to Trypticon. Let's Hope Hasbro is smart and makes a battle master that has a TR and WFC connector.

The other thing about Scorp that is bugging me is the scale in the base mode photo. I'm really hoping that was either a weird angle or some mixing and matching of digital renders that weren't in scale with each other, because he looks pretty small as compared to the deluxes in that render.

Well I see a peg hole at the base of her backpack, likely it can peg back into her backpack - it'll just be really long

That Sky Lynx puts the CW version to shame! (Not saying the other isn’t great) That, my friend, is how to do a Commander class figure! Definitely getting him.

[Sentinel_Primal]

Welp, I'm excited. Arcee's fine, but Sky Lynx and Scorponok are incredible! Fasttrack turning into a spear is interesting, but it's agreat way to give Scrops a weapon in Titan mode without having to figure out a way to make it conceal. Hope we see more than just these guys during the event though. Snapdragon would be awesome to see, as would Doubledealer

[Wolfman Jake]

Sky Lynx, Scropinok, and Fasttrack all look great! Arcee is not really any better than the T30/Legends version from five years ago. 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.

[gothsaurus]

All in all, this whole line comes across like mini masterpieces. Amazing G1 sculpts, proportions that make 3P look bad, gimmicks that don't ruin the toys, top notch posability (ankle tilt anyone?), unified compatibility and playability and combinability.

There has been a LOT of thought and care and craft put into this line, and I'd love to send a personal thanks to the Hasbro and Takara teams.

Regarding Arcee, I'd wager the hoverboard can be left on her back as well. Knowing it's impossible to pull off what you get in the TFTM movie without some kind of compromise—because of, well, physics—this is a really great design that looks truly fantastic in both modes.

[blackeyedprime]

Arcee is too sexual for me... :p for those who have a trampling fetush only...

Fast track big yes.
Skylynx big yes.

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
No double guns on his rear shoulders. No gun. The ankle hollows... Egads.

Scopion: laziest scorpion feet ever? Doesn't look like the feet separate or have articulation let alone the old movement gimmick. Lack of double guns to go rear. Mandibles look bad.

Base mode: lack of orange parts/lifts/missile flaps and plug in dishes etc.

Still a buy as Fort max needs him the same size but really dissapointing and hope we get some other options from other company's as every other Scorponok seems to have more about them than this. I do like Zarak but it needs paint.

[Decepticon Stryker]

Just had a thought: could Arcee possibly be retooled into Windblade? Just a new backpack and a few other tweaks and I could work.

[Tuned Agent]

Crud, I spent the last two hours typing up my predictions for reveals, and then this pops up. Ah well.

IMO, Arcee is a disappointment, but an expected one. But she manages to disappoint in ways I wasn't expecting, too. The back of the car doesn't do much, it (mostly) just detaches and sits there. Her chest is also fake, meaning she has absolutely no alt-mode integration outside of maybe her forearms and feet. At least she looks better than the MP, and has heel spurs.

Scorponok and Fasttrack look good, but those Scorponok pictures show some... very conflicting color schemes.

Sky Lynx looks absolutely incredible. All the features he should have, an actually good base mode, cool looking. His shuttle mode is even named Magnificence, and he has NASA logos, and those are the kinds of little details that I love to see. Absolutely nailed Sky Lynx.
