Video Reviews for Transformers Authentics Arcee

Amazing that this "G1" Arcee is the one with the less backpack.

I just got "deluxe" Shockwave and he's great! Decent posing, not much hollow spaces compared to the rest, and the transformation is simple yet effective.

Stock pictures show the spaceship flipped over. In the proper orientation, it's great!

Yup, pretty much. But instead of going full Exorcist, he just lay on his back and chill.

Looks a lot like the transformation of the Cyber Series Shockwave.

I like the Cyber Series version more than the Authentics.

Maybe some of you have see them in stores, but Hasbro has a line of Transformers toys aimed at people who want an affordable larger Transformer. This is the Titan Changer line under the Authentics umbrella and so far we have had G1 mainstays like Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, ect. But now, we have our first Beast Wars character too, Optimus Primal. We have an image of the robot mode from The Entertainer website but not the alt mode. While obviously aimed at families on a budget, I'd advise against knocking on these as they do the job fine for kids interested in larger figures and are easy to transform back and forth. I speak from experience as a dad of a four year old who plays with these toys. And it's cool to see Primal get that status of reliable sellers within the TF brand, appealing to younger kids (and most importantly their parents buying the toy). We have also put images of the others in the line to show how the proportions are shared across the line.

Interestingly enough, while Primal will be a big part of the ROTB toyline and there are ROTB Titan Changers coming, this particular toy is not from that line. So we will get more of these soon, but looking more like their movie counterparts.

Why do all the tit!n changers look like simplified cyberverse warrior class that was then upscale into a Voyager no changes, and stretched until it was leader height?

Primal is so skinnyIm sure his alt mode looks like a literal monkey

They all transform differently than the warrior toys.

Unless it's one hundred percent recyclable..and then it is just a literal waste of time.

For YOU, maybe.
But for a little kid whose parents don't have much money for toys, it's perfect.

Agreed, I've seen this line move off shelves in the bargain shop near me. I'd say Hasbro succeeded in making a budget line

The proverb "One man's junk is another man's treasure" rings true here.

I'm sure the little kid would sacrifice leader size and skinny proportions for some elbow and knee bends.

You'd be surprised. Kids love those massive 5 poa (points of articulation) action figures. After all kids in the 80s did without toys with knees or elbows (unless transformation called for it)
