I agree with others...this is not a deluxe. I've got money on a Legends figure.

It's most likely the Arcee that comes with human alliance Skids, if not a legends.

As for combining, Both deluxe Chromia and Arcee have unused tabs, so I think it's still possible.

Legs make it so much better. Looks to me that its either a scout or maybe even a legends. Cant be a FAB but you never know. I may actually get this one.

Hard to tell what class it is...The head sculpt looks awfully well detailed for a legend, or even scout. Either way, I'll probably pick up this figure. I actually think that the bikes will look pretty badass if the figures are posed together, and away from the other ROTF collection (just because the scale is way off, and that's a big problem to me :wink:

)

Mabye their combined mode isn's so much them combining into a bigger robot but a way to pose them standing together back to back style? then they could all support each other and you wouldn't have to use the base things they come with. mabye? i dunno.

Guys, take a look at the other Scout class figures, like Knockdown, and check out this bikes/bots joints and pins.
This isn't our 3rd deluxe bike. It's a scout. It may be a Scout class version of the HA bike or one of the Arcee bikes but that is a wild conjecture and I sure don't want anybody getting stupid and running with that idea. (I probaly shouldn't have brought it up but I'll consider it an experiment)

Whatever it truly is, I like the look of it. I still like the first Movie arcee and Energon bike Arcee more as far as TF motorcycles go but this one will help round out my Top 5 list when this hits the general market.

While that would be disappointing, looking at online videos of people having combined those two tabs on Chromia and Arcee, and how immobile this seems to make them, I think there's a good chance you may be right.

The only thing that kinda bugs me about this is the front of the bike sticking up off her shoulder. Couldn't they have put it on her back out of the way, or had it become a shield or something? This is the sort of kibble that bugs me, when it's obvious it could of been done five times better. Looks good otherwise. She has feet, but it looks like you could put her legs together and fold them up to get uniwheel effect, too.

I don't think it's a scout though. That one picture seems to show that her one arm can flip between an arm and a spring loaded weapon. Other than the recolors before that recycled from Energon/Cybertron, there's no Scout class figures with a firing weapon. Yet. Maybe they'll change that...

They weren't called the Arcee twins - when Arcee AND the Twins were sent to chase down Sideways, they were called upon as "Arcee, Twins"; not Arcee twins.

Hi! Welcome to the site!

Thanks! I've actually be on here for a few years, but rarely post. Great site. Great people.

I don't know about that being disapointing. It could be kind of a "Charlies Angels" kind of look.

Oh god, I'm showing my age again, aren't I? #-o

Y'know, they should've released the Arcee bikes as scout sized figures in one whole set.
It'd be about as big as a big deluxe or a small voyager. They'd be more in scale.
Their seperate forms may be a bit cruddy, but a good combined mode would make up for it.

This is, as has already been said, probably Human Alliance Arcee... it looks to be about the same size and look of the picture shown at botcon.

As for the combining of the deluxe classes... according to a panel at botcon, the original script for the movie had the 3 bikes combine. (It's still in the novelization) This scene was cut from the movie, but not from the toys, and the toys will indeed combine.

I wish I could remember exactly who it was that said this, but I definitely remember it was during the 1st hasbro toy panel (I was liveblogging the whole thing via twitter... pics weren't allowed)

I'll definetly get her, looks more awesome than the red arcee, but chromia is on my list![img] :grin:

nooooooooooo it can't be the HA arcee that 1 look like a beat up chromia with blood as paint :APPLAUSE:

Possiblities:
HA Arcce: None. That Arcee is a smaller version of Chromia, with red paint.

Legends: No Legends that I know of have firing missiles.

Scout: Very improbable, but plausible. Scouts have been known to have missiles. But, making a scout class version of a deluxe figure is fairly unnnessesary. The reverse is happening with DeadEnd, however.

FAB: Most likely. Appears to have a very simple transformation (Pull apart the arms, flip up the head, pull down the legs). Also has a fairly large head, as FABs usually do.

What ever size and type this bot is, if she(?) comes out and I see her on the pegs I am so there. My growing group of Cybertronian Hells Angels needs more members.

yup it was "Arcee, Twins" (MudFlap & Skids)

I like this arcee mold a little more then the delux model but personally i never had a problem with the Arcee bots alt modes

by **Nightwalker** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 5:03 am

I know who that is. It's Arcee's retarded sister. Everything is out of proportion.
Her head is too big, she has something growing on her shoulder and her wheelchair is intergrated in her legs...

Now seriously... WTF did they do to her? :sad:

The more I see of the figure, the more arguments I see on the other sites and the fact there is a store computer stock listing for ROTF FAB ARCEE, I'm going to have to say that it is FAB Arcee.

by **redsky** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 4:15 am

wooah! This is so must have!

Only broblems are that she still is an autobot... and I'm totaly broke

News Credits: 1 · by **Jesterhead** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 12:12 pm

If thats the FAB, then I can't wait to see the deluxe. I think I'm the only one on these boards who's excited for the bikes lol! The Ducati SuperBike looks pretty good as Arcee!
