That Arcee... Ew, that's the ugliest head I've ever seen. Like a Gray alien or something.

I'm hoping it's the eyes. This is a hand-painted prototype, and her eyes look pretty poorly painted. There's clearly molded detail extending above the painted areas, it's like they missed almost half the surface of each eye.

It's not just the eyes. She have a potato head and a wide creepy mouth.

Head looks off to me as well and when you said alien you rang a bell. She vaguely resembles the alien from the Species movie. I'll let you do your own image search on that one.

Her alt mode and pistol look cool.

Starscream looks kinda terrible but the Vic Viper jet mode is awesome.

That's almost enough for me to buy one... almost. Now I want Transformers x Gradius crossover (Lord British please and/or any other 8/16-bit shooter ships).

When are we going to get a full gallery of Thunderhowl? He and Iaconus are the ones I want most.

They were not present at the show.

Well, that sucks.

I sincerely doubt Iaconus will be getting a toy since he's a Titan.

Hasn't a toy been leaked already though The listing of one at least.

searching through this thread, the first mentions of Iaconus were in regards to his animation model.

Interesting, must have been confused. Never mind, carry on everyone!

For those thinking about Iaconus, he does have an Ultimate figure listing:

Lets hope the set becomes an Iconic one for the character, first impressions for the debut toy matter.

Thus far, the Ultimate class toys haven't been all that impressive. Grimlock's is decent, but just that: decent. Not great or amazing, just okay. The rest are incredibly basic and simplistic with little detail or articulation.

Iaconus, meanwhile, is a whole city with his body armor covered in cityscapes, and a complete berserker armed to the teeth with guns and weapons all over his body. So far, the Cyberverse line has not shown any capability of matching that level of detail and complexity, especially in its Ultimate size class.

Clearly Hasbro has been cheaping out all this time to build up towards the true toyline endgame.

The most detailed retail figure ever.

The Unicron Haslab campaign was a lie, it was all about the Ultimate Iconus!

'Twould make more sense for the War Titan to be, well, a Titan.

[ZeroWolf]

I doubt they'd ever do a Cyberverse titan class so I guess Ultimate Class it is

Here is our video of Transformers Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures on Seibertron.com's YouTube Channel

Seiberton-sama, Y U DO DIS?

[Tuned Agent]

Aaaand better images show that her eyes are, in fact, properly painted. Oof.

[Sabrblade]

Iaconus getting a toy would give hope to the chances of Croaton getting a toy as well, which would then allow fans to reenact the clash of the Titans between the two.

I personally hope that the Deluxe line continues long enough for a ShadowStriker to be made.

We can only hope.

However, word has it that Season 3 will be the final season of the show, so any more new Deluxes have to come out this year before whatever new series hits the airwaves to succeed and replace Cyberverse next year.

I don't know if I would call it "proper" since it's still a roughly hand painted prototype. I like the eyes a little smaller on the figure. Something about the shape of the cartoon eyes I find unsettling. It's the pointy bits on the inside.

Wowowowowow…
That Arcee is ugly and creepy as hell even in the show.
So… yay toy accuracy?

[Evil Eye]

The head is a bit weird, isn't it? It's probably on a balljoint though, so most likely easy enough to switch if someone makes a nicer looking Shapeways version.

Myself I'm almost tempted to get her and repaint her pink bits orange and make her into Animated Lickety-Split. That design is just too cute and the fact there's no toy of her makes me a sad hat.

The transformers herself look pretty good. The horrible, horrible head would be irrelevant if we can easily swap it for another.
On my end, I'd go further to customise her. I'd swap her shell for something else entirely, thus making my own original fembot.

Same thing apply to ER Arcee when I think about it.

[Deadput]

Would you guys say the Arcess actually looks like an alien and not just robot Leia?

Head design is "non traditional" but I personally don't find the design to be bad, my just be the show aesthetic making it look weird?

It's a perfect storm of bad ideas that made such a head.
Animated was not "robolea" and it was a good head design.

[Deadput]

Oof thanks for showing me my brain made an oopsies

"my just be the show aesthetic"

Ok, now I’m curious if the ER Arcee can swap heads with her Cyberverse counterpart.

Even though it is a new cartoon, it would be cool to get a Titan Iaconus, considering we are now finished with the "standard" titans one would expect from that pricepoint.

And the Titan class doesn't need to be exclusively G1 characters Warden
