That was a Willy's keep not a Humvee

I feel like the original intent was for all three bikes to be Arcee and that the combined form was to be Arcee's proper robot mode, while the individual components having separate names was so they could be marketed individually in the ROTF toyline.

But, then, as we know, that didn't pan out, so we got three separately-named ladies who didn't combine but were still collectively named just "Arcee" in the movie.

I'll wait for the superior Takara version.

Seriously, if a "premium" version ever come out, I may consider it. But as it is right here, it's a solid pass. (I have way too many Optimusses anyway)

It already has a premium version: #32 Clear windows and all, just need those DotM pecs.

I could do without the painted windows though. They're annoying to me and only are really there to "differentiate" the robot mode.[/attachment]

That doesn't do anything for the almost-unpainted plain gray trailer, which is what Kanrabat takes issue with.

Actually, they might be a sign that the pecs are cast in opaque plastic.

I get that, the abs needed that paint, both to break up the red and to be more accurate. It's the windows being painted silver that bothers me. They are distracting, not movie accurate, and in my opinion, only there to make it look different (apparently abs and trailer aren't considered "different")

Pecs =/= Abs. Pecs = the upper chest muscles. I'm talking about the (robot mode) windows.

Please tell me they are not the ROTF abominations but rather, the "classics" Bee Movie ones.

The RotF ones. Those 3 are among a very tiny part of the movie Autobot cast that I do not have in toy form. I think once they come, Wheelie and Brains will be it for missing movie Autobots in my collection. (well, Dino needs more than his legion figure, soooooooo)

And don't even say anything about the designs and how "ugly" they are. The classics one from the Bee movie wasn't particularly good to me, I like Bayformers, and I have grown very tired over the past week and a half with "ugly Bayformers still up in this mess" comments

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Really? Nothing new SS wise?

The latest figures are getting ready to hit any day, and we have nothing for the wave past it.

I'm really disappointed in SDCC for the SS stuff.

Well, if they are in scale, (meaning Legend sized) come as a 3 pack, and actually combined as it was initially promised way back then, all would be forgiven. Price point could be voyager-like.
