    BB looks absolutely awsome. Probably one of the best movie figures yet. Arcee looks F**ked up, but if you look at her really good in the 1st issue of the prequel comic, she is decently accurate.

    Is this going to be the target exclusive of Arcee, or is this something totally different.

    Different levels of opacity reflect intense light, like a flash, differently.

    For example, here is the Jazz pic I was talking about:

    [​IMG]

    In person, the car roof matches the other parts perfectly, but in this pic it's MUCH lighter.

    Ocviously, you're free to get whatever version you want, but I just wanted to point out that it's not as bad as it looks in flash pics.

    :) 

    Scraggin,

    I think that might be it.

    Arcee looks a bit odd in the shoulder and neck area. Hopefully her legs won't be as restricted as the Energon mold's. Sadly, the face suffers from the movie's god aweful design asthetics.

    Bumblebee looks ripe for a repainting. I don't like yellow cars, and I've found the character to be over rated, since about 1984 or so. I'm thinking dark red, with gold or white stripes.

    Dreadwing- Looks better than Hasbro pics, but robot isn't all that impressive

    Arcee- Transtech Blackarachnia, YOU DO EXIST! Seriously, she is very close to a lot of the preproduction work on that figure, definately moreso than how I view Arcee

    Bumblebee- Holy crap, what was hasbro doing when they did the 74 BB? This figure is just an INSANE improvement over that toy, though I do miss the weapon pods, but the gun blade is just cool.

    Arcee looks like a grown up version of her Energon form with a head that looks like she got hit in the face with a bag of nails. ;p

    Curious about Arcee, I like the design. Bumblebee is a must have. Dreadwing looks too much like an Armada toy... but I will get it.

    I could do a bit of KB for arcee's face, make it look more impressive, but the hair, Oh my god, it's rediculous.
    Dreadwing=meh
    Bumblebee looks the business though.

    Well, I'll be picking up 1 of those three anyway :)  And it isn't going to be Arcee of Dreadwing :D  Man this is going to be a fairly inexpensive TF year for me (not that I'll spend less on my collection, it just leaves more $$$ for other 'bots)

    im glad they decided to remove arcee from the movie because that doesnt look to hot dont like the idea of a tire spliting in half. i think ill just stick to the toys that the charactor are in the movie unless i see a very nice one. so far arcee dreadwing and swindle havent been iimpressive

    Her head looks like a white trash crack whore from the 1920's. Plus, from the back, it looks like she's wearing a diaper, and it needs to be changed. A week ago.

    Bumblebee's finally grown on me. Is his movie character as lovable as his G1, or is he going to be a badass that lets humans have sex on top of him?

    Crack wasn't first produced until the 1980s, so your comparison fails.

    Arcee is hideous. Her pinhead and freakish face are downright aweful looking. Thank god that Bumblebee rocks! This version is ten times better than the mid-70s Camaro version. And look: unpainted windows. Where Arcee is a definite pass, Bumblebee is a sure purchase.
