Looks cool. I like the purple markings, they make Arcee look better than if she was just black and silver. Although, she DOES look more like a Decepticon now. Hmmm.

just curious...
since other vehicles from the movie that were just normal vehicles in the movie itself were turned into transformers for the toys (the tow truck, those dunebuyggy thingies etc..)
is arcee's alt mode supposed to be that motorcycle that josh duhamel rides near the end when he attacks blackout? or is she just a "generic" model?

Wow.
I'm surprising myself with how little the Allspark line as a whole is unimpressing me.
Too little detail painted on, and her face really needed a touch up and didnt get it, thus a pass from me.

I know the comics endorse her, but me thinks this be a coinsidential case of generics.

pshaw. you pay more than SRP for a so-so repaint of a fragile mold. sheesh.
get it if you want it, i'll just pass and concentrate on acquiring more quality non-TFTM TFs instead.

I like it. Will this be released beyond Japan via Hasbro?
I wonder if it's going to be some Nightwatch Arcee or some new character.

I like this much better than the peptobismol pink Arcee.
She almost looks like Iron Hide's daughter...lol

Thanks mostly to the "Allspark Blue" and the Tribal marks I think this may be an american repaint. It may just be a hunch.
I guess we will see if I am right soon enough.

I like the repaint colours, passed on the old pink one... I wish they'd changed the face.
Since I don't own a motorbike TF I may get this.
It is mass retail right?

Add a few gray/silver highlights and a Decepticon Logo, and you'd have a passable Movie Nightbird...

I like the flames. But i still don't like transformers that transform into bikes. it just doesn't work for me.
but this paintjob makes this mold look better.

For me it looks pretty nice, but I don't why I was expecting a G1 re-colored Arcee... some how I got confused. I'll stay with the first release though

If it wasn't so pricey I'll probably get one.

While I agree they should have updated the fugly head, this is a must buy for me.
I have a whole motorcycle gang of female TFs going. I like them a lot!
