Seems like there's already a final product. Add a dab of lipstick then she'd be perfect(or any pink colored app on her lips that is.

So uh, yeah, if that is true, I'm not sure it's worth it to buy her. =\

Arcee is probably just a DRIFT repaint...

As for the diecast comment/question: I actually think Warbot's diecast makes him harder to pose. If Arcee had it anywere but in her shoes, I think she would topple over much worse than Warbot D does.

Blurr is confirmed as being a Drift repaint, which is why the Animated version works better in my mind. Drift's a fantastic mold, but Blurr he ain't.

And being an owner of Warbot, I must agree about the Die-Cast. They did a wonderful job, he's solid, the paint is gorgeous (pics don't do it justice), but his metal makes him an absolute pain sometimes.

I'll get the Nightbird version of this and maaybe the Paradron Medic version. I was NEVER gonna get the Arcee version of this. Heck I was just gonna get the Nightbird version until I realized that they wanna do it in Green. Simple but functional.

im kinda hoping shes all plastic. im losing my love for die cast due to how the paint is chipping off a couple of my figures pretty badly (glaring at my takara reissue astrotrain and hasbro MP Prime)

So one of your big problems is not enough junk in the trunk? That ain't cool. Don't you know it's the inner booty that counts?

I was just kidding about the DRIFT to ARCEE thing. It was to make light of the fact that they are going to make someone else out of that mold that is hard to picture at this time.

And what is the PM doing to G1 Prowl.

Um, repairing him? On account of her being a medic and all?



This looks pretty spiffy.

I'm impressed. Let's see if they can price her appropriately in the current market. My bet is on $75.

Ooh! Affordable!

If it ends up being more, would anyone like to swap one for a G1 MIB Swoop

Reason being? Because the TF Con Nightbird is what? $140? So, into that price goes the cost of the convention and the head remold.

City Commander was about $80 on release, while TF Con Powered Commander was $150.

That's what I'm basing my estimate off of.

Now that's just ridiculous. There's absolutely no reason to throw out a perfectly good figure that would have a nice home with another collector who would gladly take her, and probably meet your asking price.

To simply throw it out is ridiculous. You either have too much money to spend or...no. You know what? I can't think of any reasonable reason for you to throw out a perfectly good figure, not to mention rare.

dude he was joking XD anyway THIS IS SO GOING INTO MY COLLECTION!!!!

Didn't look like a fixing pose to me, but yeah, I suppose. I only watched it once, and I am trying to remember if she was holding her guns, cause it's hard to fix someone that way.

Dude - I wasn't joking. $75 after the Rabid Squirrel Production's $500 seems like a dream amount and we don't have to assemble this one ourselves. Even at nearly $140 I'd probably still find a way to fork out the money.

This takes priority over Unicron, IMO. I have Armada Unicron already and he does at fine job at what he does. The 2010 release would be very nice, but I'm probably going to have to make a choice on this one.

Of course you can heal injured soliders with guns...Guns that shoot medicine!

Also, reference Penny Arcade:

ZOMG! How much is this!? And when does it come out!?

The news about a possible Generations line Arcee and Kup really puts me on the fence about this. The figure looks good, but almost like they didnt know what line to direct it towards. And if Hasbro's release is a new mold, the difference in price might be the deal breaker. It would be smart for these guys to release this item before Hasbro starts teasing theirs. I'd like to know more about the price and see a few more pictures without the guns and in poses (other than Arcee on her knees ) before i commit.

It's alright to talk about prayer with Transformers.

I would have to watch it again, but I really would like to see what she looks likes sans guns (snicker).

If HASBRO makes an Arcee original mold, or they use the old unproduced Titanium mold, it would wicked excellent.

I'll believe the Generations Arcee and Kup when I see them. Even if Hasbro releases a Generations Arcee, they would have a hard time topping this. The only real negative I see here is price.

HAHAHA my thoughts exactly

I'm liking this very much. I hope she'll cost less than $80 though.

$80 is a steep for my taste aswell, but i think id get her as long as she was under $100. i think $60 or under would be more appropriate tho

Where is this news about a possible Generations Kup and Arcee? I must have missed it.

Looks neat... but a Generations figure of her? Hmm, might have to shelve this one... oh, hell. I'll probably get this one too.

I have no worries on quality, price, or even size. I worry about my dad walking into my room seeing a pink fembot and two green fembots.

"Son, whats with all the pink frilly toys?!"

LOL! Thats exactly what I thought when I got my Animated Arcee. And it didnt help that I got 2 of them. But nothin happened.

I think I'll get this one. If a generations one comes out I'll get that one too.

Because MORE is more!

Maybe I'll put Animated Arcee, Energon, and this one all together as "Kup's Angels".
