    One of the people who hates this toy should sell her to me.

    My theory has to do with with fiddles, Mickey Mouse & Robot Hell, but I guess we'll never know.

    Hey Dare, how "integrated" is her backpack/hunchback/cockpit to her core figure? If its just stuck on there then making some arms out of it shouldn't be TOO hard...

    I got to agree with you guys - this figure is simply terrible! The most disappointing of all the TF: Prime toys.

    By the way good attempt to create the Spider mode though.

    "Spider" mode I can live without, those hands make my eyes hurt and my Arcee laugh like a mad-bot.

    I don't think Voyager Breakdown would like this Airchnid.
    I was thinking about getting her but.......Someone would have to heavily modify this figure to make it better....

    Not gonna Lie, I might still get her simply because I really like her Vehicle mode. Stealth chopper is freaking sweet looking. I hope that at least translated well.

    I have to agree. Though the bot mode looks like ass, the copter mode is damn sexy. I'm going to get her just to complete the Decepticon cast (and hope that we get a Voyager Hardshell/Insecticon). But from the looks of things, she'll probably just stay in alt mode...

    The TC still hasn't given us any clue as to how he got this figure so damn early, though. I wasn't expecting to see her until July.

    Nice attempt, but it only goes to show how shitty this figure's design is.

    If you ask me, they should have made the cockpit split and unfold to become her arms, have the fuselage rotate 180 to become her upper body and have her head flip out. Then the entire tail section would become her legs. Nothing is wasted!

    This is just a robot with a helicopter on it's back. Its like they didn't even TRY to work the alt mode components into the robot mode.

    How in the world Hasbro was able to screw this figure up so badly is beyond me.

    Seeing that picture made me suddenly bust out laughing the exact same way I did when I first saw pictures of PRiD Bumblebee's robot mode.
