Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2007 9:23 pmThose look custom made. They definitely are not official.
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2007 9:23 pmThe picture link is broken for me, but I got the link and attached it. No I don't know a thing about it.
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2007 9:47 pmNo, as far as I know those are official model kits made by a company called MC Axis.
Supposedly released for the U.S. market. Also note the orange Takara sticker on them.
They were released in 1996 I believe and produced in extrememly small numbers. They require paint and assembly and stand about 5" tall.
I know at one point they were valued at around $600 bucks each. A Hot Rod kit was also produced and released.
I also believe someone was making knockoffs of these not too long ago and may still be available.
That is about all I know.

Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2007 11:10 pmelita-1 and arcee G1 toys are so mysterious.....
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2007 11:24 pmAlright the 2 "boxed" pictures are officially made by a model company (as the poster above me has stated), etc, etc.
However, that "blocky' looking arcee in the top middle... that was a prototype of g1 arcee. However the toy never made it into production and I believe only one production sample was made.... namely for the picture you see there of the bot and alt modes. Why the toy was scrapped, is not entirely confirmed, however, one thing could have been it simply didn't fit in with the other transformers. It didn't seem to have the same style to it, despite the similarities in blocky ness. All that is known is that it is official, but it didn't make it far at all past 1 test-shot/prototype, and that it was canceled. Everything else about it is mostly speculation.
