Compared to the upcoming HOS Prime figure (Knight Morpher Commander), I would say less then $70? The Knight Morpher Commander is around $85 or something. And it has more features compared to this Arcee.

I like the alt mode. I wonder if it'll be able to conceal kibble well on the underside. I can't wait to see more progress on Arcee.

It looks better than I thought it would...I'm definitely considering it now. However, there are three more things I need to before I decide to get it:
-Size (hopefully it's a deluxe, but for some reason it looks smaller...)
-Paint aps
-Price (I really don't want to pay anymore than 60 for a deluxe figure)

She must take care of Daniel a lot, she's developed those motherly curves
Can't wait to see it in color...if it's not too expensive, I'll get it.
Would a cheaper version of Arcee be a repaint of Blurr with a re-molded head and chest be easier?

lol, you can say that again about the birthin' hips.
It looks promising, but I'm not sure unless they can do something about those hips. I bet if they could figure out some sort of joint that slides inwards to narrow that area a little it would look great. Let's see how it turns out, anyway.

Looks promising, but ... yeah, colors and scale would be nice. Presferrably besides a classics Hot Rod.

Looking good. the hips could use a bit of trimming, and that head looks out of proportion, but until colours show up I won't know for sure.

I know this isn't an official product, and these 3rd party developers can only spend so many resources on these figures, but it looks like it is going to have a VERY basic transformation. Like, literally, stand vehicle straight up, fold down legs, push top of car down to cover up gap between car and seats and fold out arms basic. from the pictures, it looks like her back is going to be the entire car, and her robot body is pretty much visible fully underneath.
I'm not sure if its because Impossible Toys' designer(s) can't develop a more complex transformation due to cost or pure inability. I'm just hoping that they are going for a G1 style transformation on the figure instead of a modern flip out 30 panels, rotate 90 degrees clock-wise and bend over backwards style. I really hope this is under $30 personally since it just looks so... Scout class, in both size and transforming ability.

If she is the size of G1/Classic Hot Rod then she is a must buy for me.

Given that the Spike/Daniel space suit figures consisted on a one step, fold in half transformation, the apparent simplicity of this isn't a surprise.

Tformers got some info straight from Impossible Toys about their Arcee figure.
Tformers contacted Impossible Toys for more info. Heres what they had to say.
UPDATE: We followed up William from Impossible Toys to get some more information on the project:
TFormers: What size / scale will it be?
William: The size is about 13 cm, we made the scale to fit perfect with the 86 movie toys and classics/universe,
TFormers: Do you have a price or release date for this yet?
William: Not yet but we are aiming for the end of the year as right now we are in the prototype stage, the photos you see are just the prototype so we can test the parts fit and make any changes needed based on fan feedback and areas that need to be improved.
TFormers: Will the item be assembled or a model kit?
William: This will be a 100% finished product that you can take out of the box and play with,
TFormers: Will it be painted like G1 Arcee?
William: The main colors are pink and white.
I would also like to add these are prototype pictures and they did not turn out great do to it being white, So it is hard to see much of the details and articulation as we did not paint it due to moving parts will cause friction, And some parts might need to be improved so many things can change from now till we reach the final product. So at this point we are more concerned with function and getting things right.

Plus, this is "G1" Arcee. If you want an Arcee for your Animated collection, then just wait for Hasbro's figure. But if you've been waiting for a G1 style Arcee for over 20 years, then the wait is almost over. That also does mean if you want a Classics Arcee, don't hope for this one to meet all of the Classics line's requirement. As from the two photos, Impossible Toys is targeting this for the G1 line.

I much prefer the "other" custom Arcee headmaster figure.
Remember this?

Variety is the spice of life, right? Some people will prefer the TFA Arcee, others will prefer the G1 stylings like Mkall, and some like me will want both.
I remember seeing photos of that custom Arcee a while ago. It's so awesome. Did anything ever come of it?
