Studio Series Core Class ROTB Optimus Primal + Arcee and BB Starscream Coming in 2023

Core class has been great in kingdom, but ratchet, and now this? If we dont also get them in voyager/deluxe class I'll throw a fit!

Haven't we already? Of all the SS Core figures that don't have a larger figure Ravage and Laserbeak (pink Bumblebe) don't need them because they're already in scale with the larger figures, and the ROTB characters are getting their scaled versions later.

Yes, but core class is out of scale for optimus primal.

I'm aware, I already addressed that.

I don’t know for sure, but since ROTB Arcee is a motorcycle, it’s possible that core class is the scaled version

Oh right, that's a good point. Heck, unless she comes with a bunch of extra stuff that might be the "large" figure considering how tiny the previous trio was, I don't think any single one of them would have sold as a Core. We'll know soon enough.

I greatly enjoyed Bee Arcee. Not only her bot mode is perfect but the transformation was easy and fun to figure out despite the Cybertronian altmode.

I hade the visible-hands-syndrome so I place her gins this way. At least they can still act as exhaust pipes and they hide those hands.

That's a nifty idea with the guns

The official way to store the guns on the vehicle was obvious, but it looked daff and the vehicle still had ass-hands. So I went the Siege Chromia route. (if you conveniently ignore the big gun on top.)

Is the headsculpt to creepy? That's my only gripe with the figure, But I've never held it in hand.

It may be so with a magnifying glass, but in person it's not that bad.

Also, I transformed SS Galvatron and I didn't enjoy it at all. The arms must be tuck inside the cabin in a very specific way or nothing will work. The whole process was very annoying all for a iffy bot mode and a iffy truck mode.

Galvatron should have been a leader. The increased budget and added engineering would have fixed all the issues. As for now, despite it's lack of paint and horrendous backpack, the AoE voyager original is the superior toy.

Yeah, I knew that Galvatron wouldn't work unless it was a leader. I'm glad I not only passed on him but didn't even give him much thought after he was announced to be a voyager.

As for AoE, I never thought his backpack was bad. The cab flattening out like it does is pretty convenient actually. Yeah, it kinda ruins the silhouette of the robot kide, but it's not in the way of poseability. The big problem with that figure was the paint.

For the AoE original voyager, the Takara version is the one to get. It was around the last times where the movie toys were better in Japan.

Too bad that one is ludicrously expensive.

Completely redid my paint work on SS DOTM Soundwave, very happy with it now!

Heading back to school this week, where I have SS DOTM Bumblebee and Galvatron waiting! Can't wait to check them out!

That's how it's shown in the promo pics and instructions. There is alternate storage on the forearms which looks good too, I can never decide which way I prefer.

I thought it was in the instructions, but was too lazy to check and comment. I store them there on mine. I love that you can also transform her pretty easily without ever having to remove the guns.

One of the best parts of the mold.

Think she would work as a G1 Arcee with a new head? If so I probably will.
