    Well if the figures looks similar to the original animated version then I wouldn't mind to see a Classic or a 6 inches Titanium figure.

    Def a classic as accurate as they can get to g1. Titanium....eh...they are kinda suckie. Rather a classic figure since they all look much better then titanium.

    Yes to Classics Arcee, no to Titanium Arcee, and meh on Alt. Arcee.

    With that being said, if they did an Arcee figure, Kup and Blurr would also be neccesary, as would Rodimus Prime, Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge.

    And with that being said, before we see those guys there would need to be all six Decepticon seekers (which we very well may get), Ironhide, Ratchet, Brawn, the Constructicons, Aerialbots, Dinobots, Stunticons, Combati--err....basically EVERY CHARACTER before Season 3.

    So yeah it would be cool, but there are plenty of characters that I would like to see in Classics before Arcee.

    Classics Arcee would be neat, but I doubt the line is going to last long enough for that to ever happen.
    Titaniums- a 3" Arcee is practically a shoe-in. A 6" one could happen, I suppose.
    Alternators- I wouldn't hold your breath.
    Movie figure- Apparently shes not in the movie, so thats most likely not going to happen.
    Transformers Heroes (or whatever the new series is)- might be your best bet for a transformable one, but then who knows if she'll be in it, or even resemble the G1 model.

    I'm pretty sure that the design team (in one of their interviews on the subject) had stated that they wouldn't be doing an Arcee in Classics in not so many words. Basically they said that the classics line would be focusing on S1 & S2 characters predominantly with some of the movie cast and (here's the important part) they would only be doing the characters that had recieved toys before. So, since she didn't get a toy (even though she's a movie character), she won't recieve a Classics toy by their own logic.

    Titaniums, as horrible as sin as this line is, is probably the best potential venue for a G1 Arcee figure. Still, the line would have to get alot better for me to actually buy the figure... right now, based on Megatron and WW Prime... I'd say keep it and wait until you're willing to do it in a quality line Hasbro.

    As for an Alternators Arcee... I could see it. I'm not sure I'd want it, as the line is currently going down the shitter quickly, but who knows? Prime sucked balls, but Mirage was awesome... not sure what I think about the upcoming Ravage and Rumble though. However, I'd buy an Arcee from this line before one from Titanium.

    If Hasbro is looking at this thread, I think they are going to look at the sales of Energon Arcee and determine if it is a profitable move or not.

    My guess is not.

    looking at 6" titaniums so far, we have what ~ 2 movie characters (Rodimus and Scourge), 1 BW (optimal), 1 G1 (Soundwave) and at least 4 War Within Characters... I'd say your best bet for Arcee or Springer lays in the 6" Titanium line (I'm hoping for Cyclonus myself) It seems like a good place to redo the movie cast, since those toys were almost universally crap.

    I know it's not the best, but by all accounts they are aware of issues and working to rectify them...

    Signed.

    I think Classics Arcee could rock.

    Titanium Arcee would be cool in a 6" transformable, then we could finally have a G1 styled Arcee!

    And while we are at it...give us an Alternators Arcee too :)

    this is true, but at the same time, heels can make it a pain to get a figure to stand up properly (see TM Blackarachnia).

    If done nicely (like the rest of classics and most titantium) I will be feverishly hunting them.
