Impossible Toys Teases Their Fall Project TRNS-01...G1 Arcee!

If this turns out to be Arcee, I'm all over it. Finally!

I am guessing this will be available for preorder at places like TFSource?

If it turns out well and reasonably priced, I'm all for it.

I've seen a few pics of G1 ARCEE around the place as well, but I think they were mostly kitbashes, and didn't look nealy as good as this one. Too bad there's no way I'll be able to afford it...

What happened to Nightbird, the Quint Baliff, Alpha trion, and Daniel and Spike?

IF they pull thi off it might be neat. But I'd like to see a robot mode first. Plus, the joints on my Quint Excecutioner were stiff because of paint leaking into them, so ... hm.

But if the price is right and the TF solid ...

Not quite 2 or 3, but 1.

Someone attempted one seen at BotCon Japan about 10 years back, but the level of detail was a bit off.
One was produced by the guy over Rabid Squirrel Productions, and it went by the name A.R.C. (I forget what the acrnonym stood for, but it was clearly NOT billed as a Transformer, nor named "Arcee" -- despite having a headmaster driver in a movie-style exo-suit called "D-Man" -- not "Daniel".) In a (1987) Headmaster style, A.R.C. came with 2 of her movie handgun, as well as rubber tires in a size similar to Hot Rod, Springer, and 5 of the 1984-85 Autobot Cars.

Due to the lack of resources (as compared to a large or even moderate sized toy company), each completed piece (or the parts to build one) proved very costly. Of course, collector demand would have easily jacked the prices up into 3 figures anyway.

If I ran Takara's Transformer division, I would have bought the designs for mass production, bar none. I'd love to do the same for Hasbro, but toy safety regulations would have "de-masculated" the already feminine toy.

I look forward to Rabid Squirrel's next big project.

I'll get one

hope your taking notes hasbro

The Quintesson Baliff was finished and selling, or so I think. I am loving my Quintesson Judge, but wish he came with a yellow-ish LED. I also like Spike and Sparkplug, but wonder if they're too small, as compared to the Diaclone seat wells they slide back and forth in.
I've really got to get me some more Enargon Cubes. (I want to fill up at least 1 Lionel O-27 Scale "9100 Series" gondola, which takes about 9 cubes.) You won't believe how useful those things are in a blackout!!!

There's a booth at TFcon that sells IT toys every years and I have never seen the balif toy. I've gotten all the other Quints, but that one's still listed as "preorder". Ditto Daniel and Spike (not the Sparkplug and Spike set; these are animated movie-based).
