Oh, absolutely. I'm more than sure these producers have a true love for the figures they produce. However, my only point was that, if they didn't **HAVE** to be business oriented, I'm sure we'd see a much greater variety. Even groups that go outside of the normal bounds with lines like Steamboat keep it to mainstream characters, bc they have to make their money.

End of the day, I totally understand where you're coming from, and I don't want it to come off like I'm using the term "in it for the $$$" as in not having heart for their product... it's simply in the keeping their business alive sense.

 

I like this Arcee, but I've already got Delicate Warrior as my Classics Arcee. Nevertheless, I'll be picking up the non-Arcee color schemes for this to be other random female Transformers.

A cool remold for this could be a Classic-ized version of Animated Prowl. With a few small tweaks the design could be made a bit more masculine, and otherwise the mold is perfect for him. It even has back thrusters that look like his upgrades.

 

Oops, double post.

 

Can't we just see how this may turn out first? I mean this may be the closest we may get to having a CHUG Arcee if Hasbro's not going to make one. Unless if Hasbro does decide to it could be a different story. It's also nice that the mold is coming in different colors too! I'm going for the blue version myself.

While I like the TFP Arcee the most it's still great that a third party company's atempting to make a CHUG mold for hardcore G1 fans of the show and character. If it pulls it off correctly it make many people happy!

 

Ummm no. Delicate Warrior is pretty much a definitive Classics Arcee.

But, since it's brought up, can I ask why people keep acting like there's no Arcee at all when such a "perfect" one in MGT-01 exists? I understand not wanting to buy it because of the price potentially, but people really and truly act like the toy literally does not exist at all.

 

Well I know that but isn't the idea of the CHUG line is to update old G1 characters to modern day forms? I mean while the Delicate Warrior is still a good toy it's a tad too small for the other figures and it's compeatey G1 inspired which isn't a bad thing by a long shot but the toy still hasn't got the feel of the updated feel like the other toys do. This is my own opinon but this could be a good chance to get a version that's more in scale with the offical CHUG figures.

 

delicate warrior is more G1 accurate but this matches the Fansproject aesthetic better. I also bet this will have more playability.

 

I consider iGear Arcee more like some kind of "neo-G1" figure like the masterpiece toys and PP05 rather than CHUG.

 

this. it just seems to match the updated aesthetics of Classics better and will hopefully look stellar next to Fansproject stuff.

 

I agree with this as well.

 

Too small? She's the same size as any other deluxe.

 

If it turns out right, I agree. I've got Delicate Warrior, but I'm debating getting this as well. Not as a replacement, but to fill a different void.

 

Exactly... I have no idea where the too small comment came from.

But, I dunno. I guess I look at the too, and Delicate Warrior is an updated G1 Homage like Hasbro Classics, and then this thing is a gundam-type heavily anime motorbike mech... so, even though I can see where it fits in with third party Scouting Force, I'm just not seeing it as "Classicy"... it's nice, but still, I don't even see how it's anywhere near MGT-01 as a "Classics" Arcee.

I do want it though... I just wish there was an Elita-1 model, since I don't want to really purpose this as Arcee.

 

Well there could a Elita 1 paint scheme version with a remolded head made in the future someday.

 

I'd shit my pants, and probably get sores because I'd faint for a while too.

 

So I guess that means you love the idea then? 

 

LMAO. Yes... yes I do.

I actually **LOVE** Cybertornian robots and alt. modes. Then you have an Elita-1, who's a Cybertronian fem-bot that's never been to earth and scanned an earth mode (at least not in the cartoon), so this would be a PERFECT classics updated for her IMO.

Who knows. Maybe I'll buy the blue one and just pretend.

 

Yeah me too actually! I do like the idea of Cybertronian modes myslef just as long they are done properly!  I do agree that this figure would be excellant for her! 

 

blue one as chromia maybe,but i want a proper car arcee, i'll wait for hasbro's for that

 

I think she is a good Arcee size.
