    Very solid, the weapon has big (standard? for fists at least) regular pegs.

    Not bad. I might pick this one up. I wish it had automorph. Other than that maybe it would look better in red(red would look better than both purple and pink). Nonetheless cool, just wish it had an automorph(god i love that gimmick).

    Looking at that picture with Deluxe Arcee and Basic Arcee together, I can't understand how some people thought the deluxe was a retool of the basic.

    Dlx Arcee looks good. At first I didn't like the head, but it looks good enough now. And I fail to see the heels ... I see the high heels on Basic Arcee, but the Deluxe one seems to have regular TF feet IMHO.

    After the first batch of movie deluxes "Missing Automorph" should be a PRO not a CON.

    Movie toy implementation of Automorph is (A) near the top of the list for the worst TF feature ever (somewhere below everyone's favorite: Actionmasters), and (B) the most fragile element Hasbro ever added to TFs -- I've yet to get a Bumblebee that works properly after several returns/exchanges.

    All my movie figures featuring automorph technology work perfectly fine. How do you explain that? And I'm not the only one. If it breaks, that means you probably did something wrong because it you follow instructions, there's no way you can break the mecanism. Seriously, automorph is almost ****-proof.

    Bumblebee and Blackout are honestly the only cases of Automorph that I've heard of being damagingly defective (Bumblebee breaking, Blackout requiring disassembly to realign gears).

    Check out Ironhide, Leader Megatron, or Dlx Brawl for examples of it working really nicely.

    the transformation is damn near identical to basic RC, and that would be why folks thought it was a retool. i am, for the most part, against the automorph tech (in the movie they automorph, let us transform the toys hastak!). since RC doesnt have this feature, she is 100% better than the majority of movie figs. :thumb s to the new RC! now bring on Longarm!

    Automorph = Best gimmick ever! (so far, I only have four that sport it: Blackout, Prime, Megatron & Ratchet. So when I complete my Autobuddies collection I'll see if my opinion is still ground)

    TFTM Movie Arcee = Total uggo.

    The photos definitelty give me a better impression of the toy. I think the headsculpt is the only part I don't like at this point. (looks a bit too much like the illegitimate child of Granny and Tweety Bird for my tastes. :)  )
