*Some of the paint apps look unfinished or under-detailed.
*Are the guns removable? This could've been answered in the video, I honestly forgot >_>;;
*Price point/availability/numbers? How quickly are these things going to sell out?
Now that that's out of the way, pros...
*This thing looks unbelievably fantastic. There's really not many words for it, and even with the unbalanced (opinion) issue the vehicle mode is spot on and just... wow.
*Simple transformation without sacrificing the aesthetics. That means less fuss, less worrying about losing instructions, and less tiny little parts to break off (I'm looking at you, MP Megs..) while still looking DY-NO-MITE!
*Accurate, accurate, accurate. Enough to make even the most casual fanboy have a total wankfest.
*The scale, while small, really works. I know she was a bit bigger in the cartoon in both modes, but it looks so nice (especially right up next to Kup and Hot Rod) I didn't even think about it until I started looking for flaws.
*No add-on pieces. Transformation is self-contained, weapons are storable.
Having said all that, I still need to say that HOLY AFGHJa3werjqaw904uajilgfjafdga80eulkafdgj. Just... gorgeous.
It's one of the few toys this year I'd be willing to pay far out the a$$ for if needed. That Paradron repaint too...
The guns are removable. It was confirmed over at TFW. Also over at TFW...
Beastbot_x's post shows something we all might want to take notice of...

It says the article "HEAVILY" implies that Generations (that's right, you read Generations) Arcee and Kup are coming from Hasbro and should be unveiled at this year's BotCon.
So uh, yeah, if that is true, I'm not sure it's worth it to buy her. =\
I'd say it's worth it. As good as Hasbro is seeming to get lately, I think this is probably the most G1-accurate version we'll ever see. Guess it depends on whether you're more interested in the figure or the aesthetic.
