    Was hoping to see Tracks +, but I wonder if we could be seeding a Hot Rod +of sorts to release with Arcee. Kind of funny they used Legends fill-in but whiffed o. Rodimus. No surprise about MP-9 as I figured that mold was pretty much dead to them anyway.

    I think the dead to them line is gonna creep all the way past MP11 and MP12 eventually when they redo Starscream & Sideswipe, past MP13 when they V2 him, then stop around the MP17 Prowl mark because they plussed him and his buddies and they know as well as we do that they aced the Nissan mould first time. :buttrock

    Heh and here's me having just this week sold FT Hoodlum and Koot. Oh well, I did also sell MP Hotrod, MP Ultra Magnus, FT Rogue, FT Apach and cancel my pre-order of FT Jabber so I'd basically decided I was done with '86 movie MPs. I guess Arcee makes sense given they just did 'a girl' with BA... it was sorta surprising they did her first if I'm honest.... does rather put pay to all the filling out the S1/2 cast plans, TT really are happy to just jump about aren't they.

    Ah well, getting back on topic for those of you who love her, new pics just up. (Picture credit S250)

    Low chest and long collar for some reason (is that piece pushed up correctly?) but otherwise, sexy girl!

    Not interested in Arcee, but this raises the chance we might get Galvatron sooner rather than later.

    Initial excitement over... is it me or does Arcee's robot mode look a bit... well...off? The car mode looks great but why does the robot chest sit so low on her body? Mistransformed again? Is that what the character model looks like or something? Also 'why the long face'?

    Yes, bring on the master of disaster ... preferably with V3 Screamer "crushed crown edition."

    No bra? That's usually the answer...

    Tigatron was just a matter of time... Arcee is a game-changer. Wow!

    The dimension of her chest and collar are certainly off, even compared to the animation model. My working theory if the chest plate switches out (square or, ahem "au naturel") as per the FT design and is sitting a little low in this snap of her. At least I hope that is the case!

    It must certainly be removable as it doesn't seem to match the corresponding segment in vehicle mode to my eye - insignia size for one.

    Am I the only one not totally surprised by Arcee, come on now they just put out Blackarachnia.

    Maybe they listened to all the whining about Blackarachnia's spider mode and vowed not to make the same mistake twice, as people wished they would have "compromised" more.

    They're totally different situations, Blackarachnia is a S1, core-cast Beast. Arcee is the first new-mold, non-Diaclone, non-Convoy character in the line. By my own predictive model, teh bewbs are not a precedent-setter... she simply could not have been anticipated.

    Arcee will come with a Daniel figure and will cost 200 usd.
    Or version 2 she comes with Spike and cost 250 usd.
    Yes, Spike will will ip the price more then Daniel.
    Every new TT mp figures are coming with Spike to SPIKE up the prices.

    Btw, she has roboboobs now.
    Because roboBOOBS is a thing now.
    Pls come with her normal cartoon flat chested piece for Arcee?

    That is a normal collar. Move on, find a new slant.

    So MP Arcee. I hope that picture is mistransformed somehow (but the white parts lining up suggest it's not) or else her chest parts is very low. Bad looking low. Also a very big backpack that seems to store a lot of her altmode parts.


    But truth be told, I'm very happy with the MMC/OX Arcee and will stick to that. It will no doubt be cheaper than the TT version and more fun to transform and fiddle with (and has a very minimal backpack). But even if the MMC/OX version didn't exist, I doubt I would get this. Just never been a big fan of Arcee and even on this first and absolutely not perfect picture, I see elements I don't like -- and that's ignoring that I'm not thrilled with the current heading of the MP line.


    Not impossible, but also not very likely.

    Headmaster Arcee was part of the Rebirth events and Japan ignored this episode and made their own cartoon, Headmasters. Thus Arcee was never a headmaster in Japan and TT makes MPs first and foremost for the Japanese market.

    (That said, Japan is aware of Rebirth so it's not impossible a second release, a remould, will be a Headmaster.)
