Third-party toy maker PerfectEffect have tweeted a couple of unblurred prototype images of the their upcoming Arcee homage figure. The figure has a motorcycle alt mode reminiscent of Energon Arcee and appears to come with a large sniper style rifle. Images from their twitter account mirrored below.

UPDATE: Added additional images revealing the face.

Gundam this just keeps getting better and better. It has a total Cyclone look to it and that is not bad at all! IMHO this bot mode doesn't really capture that Arcee-ish look and style but that is nothing to sneer at! This could so pass for someone else like Elita 1 perhaps.

This is a definite buy fans and I will add it to the fold...'nuff said!!

I'm not seeing an Arcee in this. The head doesn't look right, but the shot really isn't all that focussed on the head is it?

I'll probably get it and depending on colour will call it by another fembot's name.

Do we really need another Arcee bike that costs three times more than the others and won't be in scale with anything?

I dig it, but... it doesn't look feminine enough to make me think of Arcee. So far i'm in the 'pass' catergory. Considering I still need a 3rd party Devastator, Insections, sharkticons, etc., this is sorta unimportant.

Looks great but we still can't see the head that well. I'm hoping for Junkion colors on this lady as a repaint.

I ran across a clear image of the face over at TFW2005. You can check it out here:

I'm really liking what I see. The head doesn't scream "Arcee" to me but it's a great looking sculpt. I think Flareup and female Junkion would look amazing here.

I am so in. I'm excited to see PE work on a larger scale. IMO, regardless of being "Arcee" or not, this one will nail being a fun transformer. These picks do a lot for me. For all she works with the PE warriors, the scale is delicious. Also, I'm not having a problem seeing her design as feminine. I do believe, she has a deliberately cinched in waist and the face does it for me. The helmet it is a bit much though, is that due to transformation? Still if PE could put a clean face on their scouting force, I've got now worries she'll be fine.

Me too. Their smaller stuff never interested me until they did Scout Force X (Reflector). Those are amazing little guys. One of my favorite purchases, possibly ever. So I'm really pretty excited for this.

i already have delicate warrior, so im not chomping at the bit for an arcee, but its looking promising. its kind of hard to tell its a female though, just kinda looks like a skinny bot. some paint will probably help in that area though.

the only thing that would turn me off is plastic quality. PE is improving with every release, but still not quite FP grade yet.

Trust me, this one's taller than Energon Arcee, PE Arcee comes to Wreck-Gar's chin, Energon Arcee probably doesn't even reach his chest.

Looks good, but I'm still hoping it won't be an Arcee homage. Plus, judging from the size, it looks like it will be almost deluxe-size, which means it will probably be expensive, considering how they price the Shadow Warriors and the Scouting Force........show me some color, then I may bite....

WTF?! It was bad enough that Hasbro seems to have mostly forgotten that Arcee was ever a car and mainly makes her as a motorcycle, but now 3rd party companies have given in too? Not that I care, since I don't get 3rd party things, but it still baffles me.

Not really doing it for me. Not that it isn't a great looking TF, but it just doesn't seem like Arcee.

As an updated ENERGON Arcee ... okay, sure. But a G1 ish Arcee ... not quite so much. Maybe this is our first 3rd party Energon homage.

I'm in this boat.

That looks PRETTY cool. I'm going to get it since I already have the rest of the PE series. But... C'mon Perfect Effect. I WANT MY GODDAMN RAMHORN HAMMER! They need to make the rest of them!

Not as feminine as you'd imagine but it's a pretty cool design.

So what do you use for your Arcee "stand-in", that small third-party one, Animated, or the original Energon Arcee? As much I admit I never cared for them before, but I did like that Animated Arcee, and I'm seriously thinking of getting one if I ever find one.
