    The problem with that is there would be no place for the titan master to sit in the alt-mode for that mold. Even if they could partially remold it to fit one in the driver seat, the titan master would look oversized in it.

    More and more I really want this figure. At first I was not feeling it but I've really warmed up to her. the Thrilling 30 Arcee will stay on my Movie Shelf while this Arcee will join the other fembots on my misc shelf. Hopefully THundershot is right and she'll be released as a set for mass release.

    IMHO the new TR HM Arcee looks a tad too much like the 'butch' IDW iteration for me, so its a personal preference and Im going to skip this release.

    She kind of has the opposite problem of Brainstorm to me: Brainstorm looked pretty great in robot mode (just needed his twin blasters) but in alt mode, looked way to much like "Blurr with wings" despite quite a bit of remolding. Arcee looks pretty good in car mode, but with the boots and slim cockpit torso has way too much Blurr left in robot mode.

    Fair enough, but truth be told TR Arcee is closer to Andrew Griffith's version of the character than Alex Milne's. The guns alone seem to be modeled directly from his work.

    Personally I feel both versions are unique enough yet stay true to the character to both warranted purchases.

    Given how I don't care about having a headmaster (especially when it's one of the most annoying whiny brat characters in the history of this franchise) I think I could live with simply transplanting front of this head onto a T30 Arcee.

    Mine arrived yesterday. One of my favorite things is the ease with which DanieLeinad comes in and out of his TM port. Other figures I either have to jam in there and/or worry about permanently decapitating when taking them off.

    Honestly, they could have just modded the cockpit to put in TM pegs and have Daniel stand up behind the wheel or something, and this would have worked out just fine. Though my complaints are still minimal.
