The Energon Pub

Yesterday we declared that Animated Arcee was released at Toys'R'Us in the states. HK-TF member mythbee was able to get his hands on the figure at US Toys'R'Us retail, and has taken an up close and personal look at the female Autobot. If you have yet to make your final decision on the figure, or are on the fence for the figure, than these images are definitely worth a look.

You can check out the rest of the images over at HK-TF here. With the release of Animated Arcee way ahead of schedule (Hasbro stated that Arcee and Cybertron Mode Ratchet would be released in April), expect many more Animated figures to start flowing into retail. Of course, we here at Seibertron.com will be the ones to keep you posted!

Heh, blackarachnia has robo-boob envy. Arcee is really packing in that DD-epartment!

Really good figure.I think this is the only Animated toy that would look nice next to the C/U/H ones since there is no other Arcee toy G1-ish enough to be displayed next to Classics Rodimus, Ultra Magnus and Universe Springer.

He means Override from the Cybertron series, Nitro Convoy was her Japanese release name.

G1 styled goodness!

I can't wait to see her at TRU. I went out looking today, but no luck at 2 stores.

Looks so much better without those stupid wings in car mode...

by **ultra_magus** » Sat Jan 23, 2010 6:16 pm

wow. it's not only an ARCEE fig, its an AWESOME fig all round! Looks good, well articulated and balanced (some VERY cool poses shown there :APPLAUSE:

), the tranformation looks like fun and the designers have thrown in a OVERRIDE homage to boot! And its SPARKLY!! The nearest TRU to me is a good couple hundred KMs away, but I'm callin' 'em weekly to find out about this bad bot!

It is a nice figure, but it need some serious paint apps here & there to make it more show accurate. Regardless, I'll be picking her up once I find her.

Babe.

Sexy bots like this one are the reason we have Fembots.

what happened to the wings?

They should make out

JrFitz... you've got a thing for Arcee don't you?

No worries, we can share. :twisted:

She's so fine! We can share, but no one else! She makes the best energon sandwiches, cuts the crust off with her swords!

Meh...Def a pass on this. The huge head and long skinny neck just ruins it. Plus not a fan of the animated line at all.

Smart money is that the Takara version will have G1 accurate paint apps (white arms and thighs, the baggy pants would be painted to have a knee boot like appearance.)

Those are some seriously good photographs of a great toy.

However, I note in the picture of her right hand thumb, what appears to be a stress mark.

It appears that removing and replacing her swords to her hands, could cause Arcee's hands stress marks. Be careful with her people.

I'm getting 2. One to keep regular and one to do the opened head scene. I have loved that visual since Marvel Machine Man limited series #1!

Turned 30 on Jan 2. Generation One to the core! And as for Machine Man, I've written 2 treatments and one script that Marvel never showed interest in. 2nd treatment included a less tech, more teen centric focus and included Deathlok. Very Styx "Mr Roboto" meets FLCL.

Still, Arcee is a must buy!

Why is she not pink, i demand her to have at least some pink!
This toy is pretty cool, I just love the animated line.

I am a little older than you at 34 years, my bad back and dodgy knees would attest to that! Most of those years have been spent waiting for a decent arcee figure, which the animated arcee figure is.

I actually had 3 arcee figures. One was for my son, he would not accept a female transformer so I sold it on eBay.

Anyways, keep pushing your scripts someday you will hit the motherlode.

I actually prefer it with the wings, myself.

Can't wait for this toy! Still trying to get my hands on ROTF Bludgeon though, it always takes so long for stuff to get released here in Canada.
