Nothing's on ebay yet. And as usual TRU's website is made of fail.

i have a feeling it was a lame reason like "we didnt think boys would want a girl robot" but yeah, hopefully there's a better more reasonable reason.

There was a prototype made froma remolded blur, but it looked just like blur in pink with a slightly different head.

There is 1 picture in existance of the prototype and no one knows what happeend to the hard copy.

Actually the G1 prototype shared no parts of Blurr. The misconception stems from the fact that their vehicle modes have very similer shapes. The other proposed G1 Arcee was to be a repainted Chromedome for the Headmaster line. Thank Primus that never saw the light of day...

Has anyone who found these and actually bought them able to have them scanned and be found in the computer???? I was just at TRU and the UPC is not even in the computer, hopefully this wasn't just some cases leaked.

So far, all of the reported sightings confirmed that the UPCs aren't in the computer. You'll have to have them run the SKN number to purchase them.

Though you do bring up an interesting point...these were due out in April, and with them not being in the system, it fits.

I wonder if they'll start barring purchases until this fiasco is figured out? That would suck...

@above poster,

I've been to 4 differant TRU's in 2 differant countys in California, and many miles apart from one another, and i havent had any luck tracking down either Arcee or Cybertron Mode Ratchet. But on a brighter note, when a purchased Electrostatic Soundwave awhile back(thinking early December '09), he was not in the TRU computer system at the time of purchase either. So this could be a good sign that they may have been released early!
