so you actually bought this in a store?

 

I concur, excellent photos and review! The only thing holding me back from buying her is the scale, but I might have to ignore that.

 

She looks pretty good. I'm not wild about the split wheel, but otherwise very nice. I'm sure I'll pick her up.

 

Great review, I concur, this is one excellent figure and a homage to the Arcee incarnations.

 

Her head looks like a female version of Bumblebee wearing a purple beret. XD
Excellent!

 

Looks awsome, these non movie toys are starting to look bettet that the real movie toys.

 

Crazy alien robots! An 1100 motor, and only one brake rotor up front? She is going to stop like ass. Pure, baked ass. And by ass I mean she will not stop well, is what I am saying. I really like the split wheel, though; I can't recall seeing it on any previous bike TFs, and if she's building shelves or something she comes equipped with her own level.

Far as I can tell, she's not based on any particualr bike. She's badged either as a high-displacement bike, or as a Honda Racing bike (the RC prefix), but doesn't really look like a 'Busa, a Blackbird, the big Ninjas, or either of Honda's latest MotoGPs. Her front fairing does bear similarity to what Kawasaki's been doing with their ZX bikes, with the gaping intake right between the headlights. The tail's much more fat than on any modern supersport, but it pretty much has to be to accommodate the arms.

There are some other stylistic differences I could quibble with, like her half a face. Buuut, eh. I didn't mind Movie Megs when he had a Sarlacc mouth. I can't complain too much.

 

She has a beak. <=/

 

Figures, looks like a good vehicle mode and robot mode except that the stupid movie designed head sculpt kills it.

I miss REAL TF head sculpts.

 

All Transformers are real Transformers. If I decide to grow my hair back, it won't make me any less human. Different series, different styles, all is good.

 

I think she's one of the worst TFs made. I'm down to buy it, but not too impressed. The 1980's style beret and split wheel designs just aren't working for me. How in the world would a rubber tire around a metal wheel split into 2 parts? locially makes absolutely NO sense.

And the body structure is rediculous. If she were animated, it would be almost imposible for her to have any movement in here arms or legs. the face is ugly too. She's a female...how many female TFs are there? they could have made her so much better.

 

Explain because that doesn't make any sense to me. If the toy is already well articulated, an animated version would just be even MORE articulated.

Are you saying that Energon Highwire was a better transforming motorcycle?

 

Not awful. But much as I'd like to have a great motorcycle TF, I don't feel like things have improved that much since Wreck-gar & Groove.

 

The RID motorcycle dudes were pretty good imo.

 

I am saying that the wheels in front of her chest look like they would obstruct movement of her arms. Perhaps they need to be tucked back a bit. From the pictures shown, I can't imagine how she would even be able to touch the upper half of her own body.

I am also not liking how her feet resemble high heel lifts. I think it's gaudy and stereotypical to put the only female TF in striper-like shoes.

I think the wheel could have been removed completely for robot form. and the face / arms /shoulders scult made more feminine. I don't think it should have looked like the original Arcee, but take her for example...she represented a female TF very well.

 

My girlfriend wears heels everytime we go out. So; she's stripper-like? I see.


Great looking toy with great looking pictures! I'm loving the deluxes in this line.

 

Preach on Brother!!!

 

why take my reply out of context. Arcee's heels in this picture aren't heels. they are platform lift shoes.

there is a difference (huge) between :




and

 

I see where you're coming from with the platform shoe thing.
