Am I weird to think this is better than the Deluxe ROTF Arcee?

for some reason i'm thinking . . .no

Better than the Deluxe version or not, I like it. Hopefully this one won't make anyone feel like a demented Chiropractor while transforming her.

Is this one smaller or same size as the Deluxe version???


that the Chromia FAB too, when did she came out???


WHen is Flareup coming out???

Same size, roughly, like all FAB's

Deluxe Chromia, there never was a FAB Chromia planned

WHen is Flareup coming out???

Next year. And her new tentative name is Elita-1.

i love fabs and i hope this gets a few repaints

While clearly being a simpler figure with a simpler transformation, I have to say I'm surprised by how similar she looks to the deluxe figure, both in robot and motorcycle mode, and how similar the scale seems to be too.

Why does it have to be a fast action battler ??? I thought it was supposed to be a Dexuxe ??? That was the only reason I bought Chromia in hopes of getting all 3 sisters when I first saw this pic a while back...

Yes, dem stupid-can't-get-them-to-stay-straight-ugly hips.

Odd, Elita-1 died in the Reign of Starscream.

This looks like a pretty neat figure, especially considering it's a FAB.

There's a normal Deluxe Arcee which isn't better by some people. They 3 deluxes can and will combine.
I don't like the face on the FAB, but I don't own any FAB or the Animated activators. I like easy transformations, like the G2 European exclusives. But they all have the same size which isn't that great in my opinion.

They should've made Supreme Devastator a big FAB, simple transformations to robot mode and solid combined form.

In the movie, all three bikes are components of Arcee, with no individual name and personality. As a rule of thumb, toy bios are not necessarily canon, and should be ignored.

I know, I have that comic, but she's still alive. Odd...then again, Smokescreen and Air Raid died in ROS, too, but for some reason, there's ROTF combiner Air Raid and Deluxe Smokescreen.

True, the toys released of those characters usually never have anything to do with the actual storyline.

Hasbro always seems to include characters that shouldn't be there, but they get more money off of doing so.

I really like the Reign of Starscream, it's probably my favorite TF comic, and it's why '07 Starscream is my favorite incarnation. Not the punk they made him into in RoTF...

If we're going by the Reign of Starscream, then Arcee had a different robot mode in there.

Correct, she had the 2007 movie robot mode (different vehicle though), but, according to Knockout's bio, Arcee underwent the "combiner process" (or something like that), thus, presumably, the new look.

Well it can obviously be misstransformed to have legs (as stumpy as they may be) but this version looks a little meh compared to the deluxe version.

So Arcee went from cool robot mode to wtf is this mode.

Apparently according to Reign of Starscream, Arcee was originally coming to Earth with OP and the others.
