    Yeah.. Um... I will pass. Not only is that particular mold not a good choice, but the fact that they didn't even bother to give her a new head puts it firmly in the craptacular category.

    Car mode looks very nice, but I agree with the sentiments regarding the head sculpt. If Takara is trying to reboot the series, they will have to do better then that.

    Actually in the Kiss Players Magna It was intended to be a Megatron Clone of sorts called "Legion"

    I don't think they are trying to revive the series. It's more like milking the series for the last time before they roll out Alternity in Nov. I really don't see them continuing BT once Alternity starts.

    Nice pics. But I'm not feeling these last 4 BTs. They just seem like "oh, hey..lets release these "ho-hum" repaints as a final hoo-rah for this line" toys. These aren't special in the least, imo. And shouldn't have the full price tag attached to them.

    Also, why does it seem like the paint is starting to rub off her face in that close up pic? Is that just glare?

    WTF!?!
    I was led to believe that there would be a new sculpt head and spoiler...
    Instead we are getting a crap repaint???
    The spoiler I could care less about, but the head?
    C'mon, this is 210% BS...:banghead:

    QFT. Personally, BT-18 was a nice bookend to the line. Oh well.

    I'm not much for convertibles, but the mold and both modes are quite nice. The paint job on this one is fitting for a feminine TF, but oh man, it's really just the WRONG figure for a female, period. Ugh, Arcee deserves so much better than this...

    Yes. Which is precisely why I deliberately named "Kiss Players" in that list. Because that wasn't a Megatron either. And more importantly, Legion did not have Decepticharge's head.

    I suppose I'm one of the few eager to get this figure. I fully realize it's a lazy repaint, but after watching a steady parade of Movie repaints over the last 12+ months (Leader Prime has how many distinct figures?), a couple of quick parting shots from a line that I actually love is a forgivable sin.

    Looks real good, except the head.

    So I guess Arcee is a "butterface"?

    "Excuse me, sir, you can't go in there."

    "SIR!? You'll apologize right now! I'm Binaltech Arcee and, while I may LOOK like a man, I am most assuredly a woman!"

    "...but you look just like Decepticharge."

    "I most certainly do not! And this is most certainly not a Decepticon ploy to sneak in and spy upon the women's underwear section."
