| New Photo Gallery of Transformers Binaltech BT-21 Arcee Vehicle mode In and Out Of Package |
| Posted on 07-06-2008 at 03:03 PM by Cataclizm1 | | TF08.net has posted a beautiful new gallery of the upcoming TakaraTomy release Binaltech BT-21 Arcee. These photos show off the Vehicle mode from many different angles, as well as a nice close-up of Arcee's face. You can view all of the mirrored images by clicking the thumbnail to the left!

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?
Viper_486:
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...  Melkava:
That ain't no woman! It's a man, man!
Feralstorm:
If Dr. Girlfriend's voice were personified as a Transformer...  dark69:
looks like a dragqueenbot not a fembot

NeoGutsman:
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...
thygriever:
she looks kinda like a man... or is she supposed to look like that... hmm

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.
Deefuzz:
Looks real good, except the head.
So I guess Arcee is a "butterface"?
Ops_was_a_truck:
"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."
justamaze:
Looks sweet in a "non-gay" way. I will be getting this one just because she/he is very special
airfox:
IMO BT-21 (not calling it Arcee) looks very nice. The Pearl White in vehicle mode looks very good, and I even like the added pink.
But Arcee, it ain't.  Quote:

Why didn't use the mold in other colors as another G1 Homage? Searchlight, Chromedome, Freeway or a Stunticon would've been a better idea IMO.

-airfox | airfox, I agree wholeheartedly with you here (except the pink parts on "Arcee"). I believe TakaraTomy's thinking was just that Arcee is a really popular character that would sell easily at retail in Japan. There's a whole array of straight repaint ideas they could've used, but this is the route they ended up going down.

I was checking the list of G1 cars before my post, and certainly there aren't many popular ones left to be made as part of Binaltech for whom the S2000 would be a good alt mode. And an S2000 Brawn, Huffer or Trailbreaker would be worse than this Arcee.

Kingplay:
will be getting this, looks good enuf for me
Spoiler:
I can't believe no one said it...that head looks like Springer!!!!
Either that or what Arcees kid would look like with Springer as the father!
