Oh, wow. Arcee looks bad. How can vehicle mode look so bad then it doesn't integrate? I was gonna get it just for kicks, but now I'm not so sure.

Well PrimevsPrime’s review answers the question.
“Is dead Prime and the Alternate Universe Optimus Prime listing the same thing?”
Yes they are. The Product Numbers are the same. (E7462)
So this thing is supposedly going to be a Amazon exclusive.

Still have my Generations Arcee. What a great figure. This new version isn't really my thing, man. Some will undoubtedly prefer it. To each their own.

Yeah and we know to always expect the most boring option to be true. Typical stuff. I guess this means no Fire Convoy.

So...even though Earthrise has had an extremely slow start, some places still not getting wave 1 toys yet, anyone have a guess as to when we could start to see wave 2? I'm hoping for the first weekend of July...for something ANYTHING really as its just been so long, something new to look forward to would be a nice distraction. Sure I have all my pore-orders in, but with dates subject to change, they are not definitive, so its really all up in the air at the moment.

Shame, a shattered glass version might have looked good for the alternate universe prime (but they are probably going to get another five repaints out of the mold anyways :p)

As bad as these shelformers are, I'm not sure they're quite as bad. At least Thunderblast incorporates her shins and feet. An argument can even be made that that Prime's legs have some incorporation. Arcee on the other hand...

When was the last time we've seen that? Beast Wars Neo?
Kinda reminds me of that AOE First Edition Optimus.
It does, however, integrate the front wheels into the legs fairly decently. The backpack, not so much.

Arcee looks like she's carrying a pink Barbie Power Wheels on her back.
Someone needs to ask Hasbro why third-party toy makers make their characters so much better than they do.

Astro Squad looks really fun, I wish they found a way to put a requiem blaster homage in there

No need to look at third party, they themselves did a much better job in the past.

A retool of Th30 Arcee would have been way better.

Because 3rd parties have no budget when making stuff. They design it and then figure out the price and then charge $80+ for it and you have no problem paying for it. hasbro has a budget and restraints as well as making toys for everyone. Not just grown adults who never grew out of playing with toys.

If only Floro Dery hadn't designed Arcee to be a Princess Leia Barbie doll with next to no altmode kibble/altmode integration.

I've ranted about it before, but HasTak engineers need to implement better 'mass control' when designing fembots. Yes, I know that screen accurate models are usually quite slim and round-limbed as opposed to the more cubic-looking dudes but they just need to spread the overall plastic mass better.

In fairness, though, the only real competition 3P have for a G1 deluxe Arcee is Delicate Warrior. And, while I did like her at the time, she has the old "omit the rear end of the vehicle" problem as well as a non-standard face.

Titans Return Arcee is a pretty good fembot. I don't need fembots to be that sexy.

Pass on Earthrise Arcee. I don't see this as being much different or any better than Thrilling 30s Arcee.
