The Energon Pub

We all found out a while back that Arcee would be included in the Transformers Movie toy line. Well eBay seller eptoys71 has recently sold a blue re-paint of Energon: Arcee and claims it is not a re-paint. Take this with a pinch of salt as it is still a rumor until we see it in package.

That mold is soooooooooo gonna break. lol

[Seibertron]

Interesting. I just realized that Arcee is supposed to be a deluxe and a scout class.

Definately taking it with a grain of salt, though a will point out there was both a basic and deluxe listing for "Arcee". This might actually be named something else.

I may get it and call it Chromia.

[Fang Wolf]

I agree with Cealus, a Chromia if true. Nice though.

[Omega Sentinel]

If we are getting Energon repaints passed off as "movie characters" then color me disappointed.

[The Collector]

hmmmm they couldn't 'remold' the 'energon socket' off her chest? oddly enough, the color scheme fits the one from the Prequel comic.

[Zeedust]

I'm skeptical, seeing as how Hasbro hasn't even officially confirmed that there's going to be a basic/scout price point in the movie line past the Real Gear robots. This could very easily be going somewhere else, if it's even legit in the first place.

[Maldroth]

well another biker girl to add to the collection. Hope the deluxe version is a new mold and not just another repaint.

[Cyber Bishop]

This Arcee = meh..

Now he does have something I am interested in.. That Robby The Robot toy!!

[Skowl]

That mold is soooooooooo gonna break. lol

I hope not, I really like the Energon Arcee mold, it was one of the best updates of a classic character, and I think it's a much much better design than the old Arcee, which is why I was so glad to see the Arcee from the movie prequel comics have the same basic design as the Energon one. And the original Energon version is still the best of the bunch.

Still, if this turns out to be legit, I'll pick it up. It'll be the first time I can actually afford another variation of the Arcee mold!

Same here. A deluxe Arcee in the style of the movie prequel comics would rock!

[Foallen]

Just a thought, the deluxe may be a repaint as well... maybe it will be Override. I could kind of see that, since the car mode is sort of simillar and Override was female in the US already...

Swindle's not a repaint, almost certainly not even an older mold with a new head, so I wouldn't start dismissing what the deluxe Arcee will be just yet.

Since I was actually expecting that the Scouts for the movie line would be no more than repackaged Energon or Cybertron figures, it's interesting to see they'll actually be repainted. I'm not buying this Arcee regardless of what it is, but it leaves some hope for guys like Armorhide or Skyblast, who missed out on their shot at being repainted completely.

[transmetropolitan]

I think he's sooooo right about the use of the Overide mold.

[Dr. Caelus]

Skyblast

Oh I hope so. I love that little guy, but he needs a wingman badly. My other aerialbots have their little Superion-clique going and won't hang out with him, and needless to say, the Maximal flyers ignore the poor guy completely.

I do too, Skyblast has his flaws, but for an Omnicon, he wasn't all that bad. On the other hand, I can't help but wonder if some of these Scout listings are giving different names to other Scouts that were never repainted. Skyblast (hopefully) not so much, but I could see names like Signal Flare or Hardtop being reassigned. Got me as to who else...

[Wheeljack35]

You mean first look at an Energon repaint

[Optimus_julio]

it looks like she is pregnate !!!

[Down_Shift]

Ya pretty much

I think the deluxes will all be new moulds (for the most part until the new moulds themselves start getting repainted) and we'll see more out of move figures then in movie figures.

[Darth Bombshell]

That can't be Arcee. It doesn't have the design aesthetic of the movie toys we've seen thus far. I'll wager dollars to dough nuts this is a late April Fool's Prank.

[jgilkinson]

hope its a fake

[guara]

I don't see anything saying that it's related to the movie in anyway from that link.

[Megatron Wolf]

Im guessing hasbro is repainting energon figures and creating new ones. Since hasbro never really had to many energon reissues. For all we know the deluxe one might just be a bigger version of energon Arcee.

[AbsumZer0]

The Scouts are just repaints to pad out the line whereas the Deluxe and above are going to be all-new moulds based upon the movie and the unused concepts that were brought into the comic and video game. Why is that so hard to believe?
