Transformation Video for MP 51 Masterpiece Arcee and Early Sighting

Posted by william-james88 Dec 23, 2020 at 10:54pm CST 93,404 views
Transformers MP 51 Masterpiece Arcee is shipping from online retailers at the end of this month and it has even appeared in some shops like Takashiyama in Singapore. Cybertron21 has released a transformation video which you can see below. This will close the year of Arcee where each line had an Arcee release, be it Studio Series, War for Cybertron, Cyberverse and Masterpiece. Oddly enough, while the Masterpiece should be the most cartoon accurate it has a rather inacurate chest. In the cartoon, Arcee has a pink upper torso and a small white collar around her neck but here it makes it look like her collar is part of her torso, and the front of the torso begins below her shoulders. It's like her back half and her front half are not in synch with one another. Feel free to share your thoughts on the matter now that we can see exactly how she transforms and which sacrifices were made.

god she looks so bad, I'd rather have the earthrise version - which is saying something, at least it only cost $20

The whole torso has been constructed to have its front and side panels all placed far lower on the body than they're supposed to be.

That's a major gaffe on the part of the designers, whoever is responsible for QC should have caught it. That's literally their job. Catching mistakes on a product before it enters mass production.

It's not a quality issue, so it's not qc related. It's really a design issue and the team responsible for MP releases at Takara signed off on it.

Well, the transformation doesn't look too bad, no really thin panels.

perhaps some 3rd party company can make a fix for that chest

Third party will probably only offer soft and squishy real feel upgrades but can't make it look any worse.

Why bother when they can make the whole thing from scratch? There's already a zillion 3P "Arcees" that keep popping out since at least a decade.

Or maybe use correct references. I pulled out my PotP Novastar and she somewhat has the same problem as MP Arcee with the tall collar and seemingly low chest. It's a bit less noticeable because of the angle and how much it stick out. :-?

the issue here isn't really that the chest is too low. It is in fact in an accurate position, if you are basing off of human anatomy. Basically, she's designed like an "endowed" shall we saw woman, not wearing a bra with a loose fitting tank top. There's a lot of human anatomy in her shapes. Which imho, isn't necessarily a bad thing, but not only is it not needed in a cartoon robot, its not really accurate to any version of the character. Sure, she had a human female shape overall, but in a cartoony, basic shapes kind way. It is a design choice I am not sure I would make.

I also feel like they could have done something different with her car kibble. Like if they hadn't gone through all the effort of making her legs super human shaped sexy legs, they could have made them hollow found a way to have some of the back wheel panels fold up into the backs of them, for rough example.

all in all, its another frustrating masterpiece where the design choices hurt the overall release, and a preorder I can't cancel. :HEADHURTS: :BANG_HEAD:

Oh well, at least she has a bonus mode 2.04 mins in, the crazy car face for a combined mode, she has raised the bar over Mixmaster forming the head of Devy.

She looks like an old woman who didn't take care of her body, the chest is too low, the face looks emaciated and the thighs look malnourished.
