thats arcee.
bumblebot98:
infact it looks like a KO arcee.
Soulmaster:
hmmm FAB Arcee?
notice the "Not For Sale" in her roboob
Sol Fury:
Interesting, the way you have her there, she looks to have more normal "robot" proportions. And actual feet too!
Xanis:
Definately not the deluxe. I'm going with FAB.

Valkysas:
I doubt it's a fast action battler. the design matches the other two in style perfectly. especially the head sculpt. that doesnt look like any FAB figure I've ever seen.
this is the third bike, I'm sure of it.

this is the third bike, I'm sure of it. | But the third one has a wheel hand and is purple.
Malikon:
that looks pretty cool.
guard convoy:
could this be the bike that goes with HA skidz?
funstorm:
it could be the HA arcee

| then maybe the toy isnt accurate. but this obviously isnt the arcee deluxe, this obviously isnt chromia, and it sure as hell doesnt look like a fast action battler. Quote: |

| No. that arcee is around legends-size (for the tiny human alliance figures to ride), and has a really basic transformation that puts one wheel behind her head, and the front of the motorcycle is where her waist would be.

Double wheelfeet, seat becomes right arm, front of motorcycle on left shoulder.

If she was the purple bike, she at least would be... purple, lol

| yeah, I'm not saying it makes any sense, but that doesnt look like a FAB figure, which are typically far simpler and chunkier than this. not to mention the head looks to be the exact same quality as the deluxe bikes, which is rather unheard of for FAB figures. especially if you look at the hole for the missile in her arm, compared to her head. her head seems to be the same size as a deluxe bike's head too. meaning she's relatively tiny for the FAB price point.
yeah, she doesnt look complex, but she seems to be about the same level as chromia.
Sso02V:
Can we get some scale on this?
Mechafire:
I'm putting my money on HA Arcee.

Valkysas:
sure as hell not the microscopic, super simple human alliance arcee that doesnt look anything like this.
Fort Max:
Whatever it is, it looks better then the deluxe.
I think it might be another promo toy for the actual bike company like that red chevy deluxe car.

After looking this thing over more, it's not HA either. It almost looks like someone took the upper part of the Deluxe figure and make legs for it...
I really have no idea.
alexcollier:
I'm getting more of a FAB vibe from this mold. Especially when you look at it from behind. Some of the FABs have pretty complex transformations so there is precedent for a FAB with this level of complexity.
videriant:
The third bike, a repaint they were trying?
Fort Max:
Just for reference, defo not the HA.
For those saying it's a FAB, it has no action feature (that I can see at least) so it'd be a pretty poor FAB.

funstorm:
armiaracer?
chrooncee?
moonarcia?
Beastbot X:
I'd say the most likely is FAB, though "most likely" in this case means "only has SOME conflicts with the line". FABs have traditionally been blocky because they've been cars-- motorcycles wouldn't have that restriction. And making the wheels such obvious legs seems a very FAB-y thing to do.

And making the wheels such obvious legs seems a very FAB-y thing to do. | FAB looks good, but the only thing that is got me puzzled is the ball-joints in the arms....has a FAB ever had ball-joints? makes me want to think scout
jadtdt:
Man, I wish this was the Legends.
ElekTriC:
very weird.. i think its not the deluxe... and not a fab..
wish its not the third bike.. they all have stands.. so why would this one have feets?
GAUGE0001:
I have a feeling it's a FAB, it looks very simplistic in that regard. plus there are just way too many differences to both the HA version and the Deluxe Version.
The Mad Vulcan:
Is it possible that this is an early design, that was later changed? Scale would certainly be useful.

Some have ball joints on the shoulders, though, like Mudflap.
And I think a scout Arcee would be rather pointless given the deluxe version-- they'd be almost the same size.
ssjkazer:
could be they made a scout verson for arcee or they decided to give elita one a proper decent toy what ever it is soon as i see it come out its mine lol.
And for a note most fabs have that boxed in look its parts spread to nicely for that
jadtdt:
Scout would also be nice (Knock Out needs him some wimminz), but I don't see her getting a Scout and Deluxe, especially when she has a Legends too. It's just so many similar toys all clustered around a narrow price range, and you usually don't get that many main-line figures for a single design unless it's Prime, Megs, or Bumblebee.

Why hasn't this been moved to News yet?
Ratchet2007:
To be honest we need a comparison to find out what size it is
After that we'll know
Grindor:
Could be a legends figure hasbro is getting more intricate with they're toy designs, just compare TF1 legends Optimus with ROTF legends Optimus, also I was on a site where you get to ask hasbro toy questions, has anyone got a question for them, I could head over and edit my post to include new questions, if anyone is interested
TFfan08:
Its legends Arcee.
OptimusPrimeFour:
HA arcee that comes with skids and mikayla

This design looks much better than the hideous designs that Chromia/ Arcee/ Moonracer? have. I would have much prefered it if HasTak would have utilised Arcee's design from the 1st movie in ROTF but... *shrugs shoulders* x BlackMagnus x: Quote:
