arcee looks like a male tf in pink
prime looks the same

Yeah, the Arcee head is very disappointing.

Prime looks better than the Kiss Players one, and Arcee's head doesn't look feminine enough. Bad move using Decepticharge's head.

Prime looks like an improved release of the same mold. Nice for those who didn't pick one up before, I guess, though I always preferred this mold modded into Ironhide.

Arcee looks fine in alt mode and just plain awful in 'bot mode. The color scheme doesn't look right, even for classically pink-themed Arcee, the head sculpt is inexplicable, and the body just doesn't suggest the character. I hope very very much that we get an Animated Arcee, because we waited for years for Arcee toys only to get lousy ones.

I literally just got Alternator Prime two days ago. this one looks far superior. I like it.

Arcee, I think if they tooled a new head would have made a world of difference. I can see customizers taking that fig, swapping heads and making a beauty of a figure. The car mode really fits her too.

If only they'd have remolded that head for Arcee.

It looks like TakaraTomy turned Arcee into a Binaltech metrosexual. Only the pink is indicative of any feminine traits

I like both of these, Arcee's head isn’t that bad.

For completion's sake, I may put in for an Arcee, in the hopes that someone might do a mass-produced Custom head

They couldn't have picked a worse mold for Arcee. Even her gun is very masculine.

And a rack.

Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She a long lost love at first bite
Baby maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right
That's right

Backstage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody say
Forgive me if I seem out of line
Then she whipped out her gun
And tried to blow me away

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

So never judge a book by it's cover
Or who you're going to love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a venus
Lord imagine my surprise

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

Baby let me follow you down
Let me take a peek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me all night
Baby let me follow you down
Turn the other cheek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me, sue me

(Guitar solo)

Ooh what a funky lady
She like it, like it, like it, like that,
Ooh he was a lady

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

Poor Arcee, not a very triumphant return of Binaltech if you ask me, Prime's not bad.

amazing never thougt i seen this close a transgender transformer well from the very first image of this arcee image hitting the web i knew i wasnt going like it and i still dont nice car/robot bad colors and name.

prime im surprised his color got changed to red from green not that i like green on him anyway but whats the differnce betweeen this version and the other version prime that looks like this one other than one being made in japan na dthe this one being made in the us i dont see any other differnce between that personally?

Diecast apparently...

Prime is an improvement over the originals at least.

Perhaps Arcee would have had better luck with Overrides head without the visor attached.

I am guessing that you mean Overdrive. If it is, I am not sure unless that changed the colors of the head and took the visor off.

Whoops, wrote the wrong name

But yea, I think his head in white would have worked better for her.

No worries, it is quite alright. It can happen at times.

Arcee was White with Pink in the G1 cartoon, so why are the G1 themed Movie and Binaltech Arcees White and Peach... or Apricot? - You know what I mean, that's not pink.

Prime's just his Kiss Player's self in G1 colours, and Arcee must be big on hicking boots.

Still not sold on picking up where I left off with this line. Time will tell.

I hate them both. The truck should've been Ironhide from the start. Why do we need an alternator Prime when we have Masterpiece Prime. He works perfectly with Alts/BT's. Arcee looks too plain and is from the looks of it a cheapass repaint.

If Arcee shows the new direction of Binaltech line, then Takara, please, do not revive it.
