More New Images and Reviews of Deluxes Arcee and '08 Camaro Bumblebee

What about an ALpha Trion review + gallery? I wrote hotrod about that.

Arcee = AWFUL!
Bumblebee = GREAT.

I do not like the '74 version because of the yellow missles, un-transparant windows and ugly legs and feet. The 2008 version is better in so many ways.

I don't care what anybody says. I love that Arcee figure. and the BB is badass too.

The links seem to be broken.

BB is awesome, judging by other pics. Too bad that the links are broken.

It seems the site is having trouble.

If anyone saved the pics, could they post them here for all to see?

Yeah i cant see the pics, POST POST POST PLEEEEEAASEE

I can't seem to veiw them, but I have to agree with Rodimus Sucks(great name by the way).

oh and Rikkomba, a Alpha Trion Gallery has been posted already.

I do greatly look forward to a more bulked up BB than the twiggy one that just came out, and for once I have to tip my hat by making the upgrades BB truely an upgraded BB instead of a repaint with a new grill.

And Takara, please fix here before you send her here!

I don't know about fixing the links, but if you go here you can then click on Arcee, `08 BB, and lots of other toy reviews.

Hope this helps! Enjoy!

thanks man, thats great. Can't wait for 08BB

Why isn't it working for me?

wow... '08 BB is so much better than '74... i was totally dissapointed when i saw '74 BB on the shelf... when can i see '08 in stores?

As for Arcee, I like her. Yes, she has both a subtle female vibe as well as a bird vibe, but I really like her. She's alien, yes, but...don't most people like birds?? Aren't birds cute or pretty, or whatever? Well, that's what I think of Arcee: Alien, but familiar too.

And as for `08 BB, well, I think we've all already agreed that he is "made of win" so I imagine he will sell VERY well when he hits the stores.

'08 Bumblebee is the best of the toys I've seen so far.

Forgot one thing: Oh my goodness! The BB car pic with `74 BB next to `08 makes `74 BB look like a knock-off! I realize the car designs are seperated by 30 years, but come on, `74 BB doesn't even look like he's made by TakaraTomy / Hasbro, he looks like a cheap knock-off! I can't believe how bad he looks next to `08 BB. Man!

I think they're both great!

The pics don't work for me, but based on what I've seen in the past, I can't wait to add these two to my collection!

Actually, I kind of like Arcee. She looks good as a movie design.

Pity, though, that it would be hard to have a holo-driver for her if she was in a sequel. I still think Arcee could've been Mikaela's Guardian Transformer, like Bumblebee is to Sam.

Thanks for finding the alternate links Jaz-Zen, I changed the news post and even credited you.

Hmm.. That review made me think differently about getting an Arcee, I was on the fence but now I guess I'll get it.

'74 BB looks like ass compared to '08, it is sad really but at least I know which one I might consider buying.

i couldn't agree more!

...but if you think about product placement, it makes sense. Chevrolet isn't making money off sales of a '74 model car. They wanna push the '08 model as hard as they can b/c that's where the money is gonna come from ...even if that means making the old car look like poop on a stick.

The link is fixed and I say thanks, The side by side BBs truely confirms my original statement.

Still, my first car was a '81 Camaro, and '74 BB's car sculpt is pretty much dead on to my old car.

with that said, I will have to get a couple and some white and blur paint for some kitbashing(I wonder who's head I can get to fit on him). Yes white and blue to homage my old car.

Then black with blue highlights to commorate the paint job I wanted that car to have. I wonder how it would effect this toy to have the roof removed? I always dreamed of making him a convertible.

the reviews and pics are great and all, but someone needs to tell him/her how to transform his transformers, since both arcee and the wave1 BB arent fully transformed.

BB is sweetness! Don't really care about Arcee, but I'll probably end up getting her anyway

thats interesting....08 bumblebee resembles the movie character more than 74...lol

so is the 08 version coming soon? or is it aready out and one of those "special hard to find" figures?

Arcee looks damned good for a movie figure. Hell, slap on a more G1 head, repaint her in classic colors, resell her as Classics Arcee.

It would be a smart move on Hasbro's part if classics were to return after the movie stuff.

Any Idea when the Deluxe Arcee is going to hit stores?

I'm still trying to decide with version of Arcee is better, the new deluxe version or the energon with a cool blue repaint.

The bike modes both look equally good, although I don't know about any differences in scale.

As far as robot mode goes, I think the deluxe version has a nicer body design especially since she doesn't have the gimpy mid-forearm hands the engergon version has and her crossbow looks alot better then the oversized energon bow does, but the deluxe's face just looks so butt ugly.

Oh wow, cool! My first credit! =) Thanks Skowl! (does a little happy dance!)

And, hey, Shadowman, as Irahaman reminds us, this movie and its two sequals are as much about product placement as they are about the story itself, so I think its highly probable that all, or at least most, of the TFs in the first movie will get new forms in both the 2nd *and* 3rd movies, and other TFs not in the 1st movie will be introduced in the 2nd and 3rd. Heck, as far as I know there's not even a guarantee that GM will be the car company associated with the future movies.

So, on the one hand, Hasbro will have all of these movie toy molds from the 1st movie that they might wish to reuse in the 2nd movie (maybe `08 BB repainted black with yellow stripes/highlights, instead of yellow with black stripes). But on the other hand, there will be a car company, even if it is GM, which would probably like to have different cars profiled.

So the likelihood that Arcee, if she is in the 2nd movie, will have a different vehicle form, probably a car, is pretty high, in my opinion.

I'm a bit more thrilled with the '08 BB than I am with the '74. Might pick him up. Arcee is still a definate buy for me.

Deffinately going to get both.

Ummm....when ARE they coming out, anyhow?

Me too. I think these come out in mid July.

...which means someone should start cloning and selling dinosaurs so we can see Grimlock in the sequels!

Yeah, I'm mass producing giant mechanical dinos that breath fire... I just need a use for the suckers.

I have to own Bumblebee. I have to.
I love '74 Bumblebee, he's adorable and a great figure.
'08 Bumblebee takes all of the original's best and makes it fantastic.

MUST. OWN.

08' BB will be my one and only deluxe from the movie figures. He's just so perfect looking.

Right,I have managed to get a look at these toys and I'm angry about this guy because he gave a A- for new bumblbeee! that's stupid! I would of gave it a A+ and 74' bumblebee a B+.

08BB is so perfect. Now the whole set of all 5 Autobots will look amazing together.

As for Arcee...i'll decide on that figure once i've seen the seibertron gallery.

i'll buy em

Arcee sucks.

It's a terrible, monstrous design, and she looks like a half living, half dead zombie.

It's a horrifying figure. Ugh.

I'll agree with just about everyone here. The New Bumblebee looks amazing - I never thought they would be able to design a toy so movie-acurate, especially a deluxe-sized one, but there it is.

I still like Arcee, and I have a feeling fans would be alot more forgiving of the figure if she was actually in the movie, and we had some CG renders to go from. I hope she makes it into a sequel, Autobots need a biker chick.

No, I have to be honest here. Even with her in the film, I'd still hate her. Render, no render, that's one ugly bot. Some may like her, and more power to 'em, but she's one figure I wouldn't have purchased, in film or otherwise.

Bumblebee looks great. I like the repaint version of Arcee better than the version here.

"Arcee" fails harder than your grandpa on Tribonin.

The Camaro on the other hand, is made of win and awesome. It'll make an excellent addition to "Bad Mother Truckers"' Golden Brigade.

Arcee is looking so much better now than in the earliest pics, and I think she's one of the best looking autobot figures. Can't wait for her and have been hoping for her since that first appearance in the prequel comic.

I love BB's energy blade

i like both bumblebees, so ill get them both.

I am impressed with 08 BB.. Very nice!!

It does not help that he has the older BB mis-transformed in bot mode.

I can't wait to get the '08 BB. Looks awesome. '74 BB is a fun figure, now that I have him in hand, I really like him.

Arcee= though.

Arcee looks craptastic. Glad she didn't make it into the movie.

Bumblebee, on the other hand, is pretty cool....at least the 2008 one. I might get the other one for my son, but 2008 camero is the one for me.
