same with the claims that this is the legends class arcee. it has a missile launcher. NO. stop saying its either of these two. you only make yourself look stupid when you do it.
there's only two possibilities. deluxe, or FAB. and FAB is looking shakey because it doesnt match the FAB aesthetic, and deluxe is looking shakey because there's already a deluxe Arcee. | ZMOG! UR ALL STOOPID IF YOU DON'T AGREE. Someone on the interwebz is wrong!
btw, It's HA Arcee. I have proof. Sso02V: Quote:

Or a peg for her vehicle mode parts to snap on to when she transforms.
Sso02V:
Or maybe it's the door to her battery hatch. You know, for the electronics that are clearly housed within.

Sso02V:
Yeah that one. The one we talked about at the toy design panel, of which we are both clearly members of.

Sso02V:
I thought I was a goner when we tested the sentience chips. But I guess now we know not to make the prototypes 1:1 scale.

Also jarodimus you made me laugh too.
Clearly it's internet rumor poop dumpster Arcee.
tfan123:
Hey, I just looked at the concept art for the third rc bike. And the right arm how the handlebars of the bike are on the arm. So it's the unnamed Arcee bike, or Flareup! (But im callimg it Elita 1)

It doesn't even vaguely resemble the concept art, either.

ugh why do people still think thats Moonracer its clearly Arcee style is still unknown but its arcee
Pasaway:
it's the new wonderfest Arcee 420bot:
I guess the point of this thread is Bay was right, the bike robot mode designs really do suck.
I mean who cares which one it is, they are all crappy looking to me.
But seriously folks, its obviously dream barbie wonderblast feng shui Arceecola.

This is the Arcee that comes with Human Alliance Mudflaps with Simmons

shroobmaster:
Wow, actualy, I think you're right, it does look alot like that Arcee except it's mistransformed.
She also seems to have a missile launcher, that would make up for Mudflap's lack of cannon right?
Wazzpinator:
I hope that's what it is, this is the only bike-girl I can stand.

I am pretty sure it's the Arcee that comes with HA Skids. maybe.... idk I never actually saw one out of package or the official pictures.

Second, there are numerous differences:
The head on the red one is more elongated. The chests are different shapes, with the red one's being much flatter, the front being essentially in a straight plane down from the neck. The arm panels are different. The gray one appears to have a cannon instead of a left hand. The legs are symmetrical on the red one -- not so on the gray proto. The gray one's tires are 2 different sizes and have deep treads, while the red one's are identical with shallow treads. The "nose" of the red bike is more rounded and appears to have painted headlights and windscreen. The gray one, meanwhile, is more angular and has transparent plastic.
Is that enough?

JasonHills:
On my screen it looks more red than pink, and I thought Arcee was pink.

Is that enough? | You do have to realize that Hasbro is not going to show their latest cards, so showing a gray prototype while a test shot is floating out there is perfectly possible. With it being a gray testshot, there could have been changes made, I mean look at MP Starscream. The joints and everything suggests that it's a small figure, especially the shoulder joints. The toys are shot in different angles than the prototype, it's hard to tell if the chest isn't just simply lift up, they would be on ball joints I assume, so until a size comparison picture is shown, I'd still say that this is the one coming with HA Mudflap. You can't ignore the fact that those two figures has more similarities than differences.

From where I sit, the sculpting on every single piece is different between the gray proto and the red test shot.
And I can't remember a single case of Hasbro debuting a figure with gray proto pics after a test shot had already surfaced via the Chinese Toy Underground™. Can anyone else?
Ravenxl7:
Honestly, there is absolutely no question in my mind as to what this figure is. It's the FAB Arcee that we got a listing for a while back. It's definitely not the bike sister that comes with HA Mudflap. The chest/torso part is the major difference between the two. Also, the bike sister that comes with HA Mudflap, while having the mold design of Arcee, has been confirmed to be Chromia. Thusly it will have a mostly blue color scheme. This here has a red-ish pink color scheme, and looks to be the final product.
Not saying that I'm absolutely, 100%, correct all the time. Just that I can't see how this could be the Chromia figure that comes with HA Mudflap, and that there's really only one thing I can see it being, and that's a FAB Arcee.
