The_Black_Sheep:
An Arcee version?! What?! Why?! How that pink/purple/white figure resembles Arcee is beyond me...
Lbsammills51:
The Nemesis version looks nifty. I'd pick that up. The Arcee version looks odd.

That would be like saying both BBTS and TFSource are also part of FansProject since they sell FP toys in North America?
Anyway, I just wish to help clarify things since there have been a lot of mis-information regarding FansProject and TFClub.
Say I'm not FansProject but am selling their items. Then I would also want to point out about these KOs of Shadow Commander to protect everyone's interest. Some might think that if all the stock have already been sold then TFC wouldn't be losing much, right? Actually if someone picks up an inferior KO of Shadow Commander thinking that it's the real deal and that's the quality of FP, it gives FP a bad reputation and people will less likely buy FP items from TFC again.
DeeJay:
I love my Battle Rollar. But he was kind of expensive for his size, so yeah, I won't be picking up Nemesis Rollar -- UNLESS he comes with the sword. Since the Shadow Commander armor is wayyy out of my price range.
Lucs:
Man I never reallt understood this figure to begin with and now there are re-colors coming? Arcee makes no sense to me. The only figs that match aesthetically with these are movieverse, but that's one of my least favorite design styles.

There's a KO of Shadow Commander? Where are they being sold? Not that I want one but I'd like to learn more about it.
EDIT: nevermind, found the tread
SpinalCord:
Gotta add Arcee to my list. I'll pass on Nemesis.

TFClub distributes for mainland China only. This was also mentioned in
Chenkofs' post on Actoys.
dark69:
they need a new head and chest for that to be arcee...
MegaHavok:
was never happy with the first rollar wouldnt buy another
Backscatter:
Sigh, will have to wait to get home to see. Work FW blocks.
Psychogasm:
I so regret buying battle roller, like a few have already stated it's a craptastic pile of floppy plastic, tons of kibble and just way too fragile to do much of anything with.
Mine pretty much sits in the box in my closet never to be spoke of again.
Johnator:
Nemesis looks decent. No idea what they were thinking with Arcee.
Takara_destron:
Cool, but pass.
shumworld:
As much as I love my BattleRollar. I think it's a bad idea for TFC Toys to make repaints of this toy. It hasn't sold out in the way City Commander has. The pink one is an even more horrible idea. It dosen't even look femine at all.
enkidoamark:
Yay! repaints of toys I didn't buy in the first place!
Darkspeed:
Not sure how to feel about these... The Nemesis version looks very striking, I think it suits the mold more. But the Arcee version... Well, someone needs to tell TFClub that painting somethnig pink doesn't automatically make it feminine.
They could have at least remolded the head, at most given it a new torso.

steve_o2709:
Nemesis may be worth the purchase arcee looks slightly disturbing
Blitz.:
I dont get Arcee I just don't think its a good idea. Nemesis ok I can see the logic and it does look cool in black.
StarSaber79:
Nemesis is cool but Acree is just diaretha or how ever you spell it.
StarSabreSword:
This has nothing to do with mass production. It's just a custom version for fun. Believe or not.
Skylock:
These new color schemes just seem so bland. Acree looks like soggy cotton candy.
Nukatron:
I like the sowrd
IsThatOne:
... I still take it that the Optimus Prime mold with the Armor upgrade can still carry Rollar as his jet pack??
So they have to do it to Nemisis too? How about the Arcee recolor, ... Shattered Glass Rollar!!!!
tfctoys:
gald to see so many interesting feedback around the web
we have to stated that these all 3 version repaints are just a "lunch time special" by our designers for fun and the coloring are hail to nemesis prime/arcee/alternity silver prime
and the blade is form our friend Fansproject's Shadow commander set.
of course, a lot more improvements are needed if we do mass released these repaints in the future.
and we do care abt the negative sides of our previous Battle Rollar.
TFC TOYS are always being creativity and we promise that a repaint will not only a repaint.

If you happen to repaint it as an exclusive, be sure to not turn around and do a wider release of the exclusive 3 weeks later. Your friend fansproject learned that lesson the hard way.

If you make the Arcee one look more like Arcee, consider it bought.
primal-convoy:
My Battle Rollar had paint apps missing from one of his legs and excess "flash" from his mold left on parts of him. He's ok, but you need to put nail varnish on his ball joints for him to stay posable plus his blades cannot really form together to make a bigger weapon.
If he is cheap then I recommend him, but if not...
REDLINE:
I'm sorry, but W-T-F? Arcee edition? What on earth could possibly link Arcee to a Movie-Prime stylized, Trailer drone "battle rollar" with a face place and no fem aesthetics whatsoever?

Two things. The color pink, and a big blingin' chest jewel. Hot sure how they do it, but they do.
REDLINE:
that's not what I was asking. And no, a crystal doesn't link it to Arcee at all. It's just a pink movie-prime-esque transforming roller drone. Dumbest-idea-evar.
