    (psst, if you don't want partsforming stop talking about how cool the Weaponizers and Modular Stations are.)

    I have no issues with partforming if its optional. People should be allowed to have options. I don't like having to remove a large chunk of a transformer to transform the figure. Feels like its defeating the purpose. Arcee's backpack will always be her backpack for me, I doubt the hoverboard will look that good, so it being removable is pointless for me, but its great for people who want it. Kibble is one of the many things that makes a transformer a transformer. I know myself and I'll end up buying this regardless to support more fembots, but I really hope the partforming is something optional and not like Cliffjumper.

    Weaponizers are literally only partsforming. That is their intended purpose, from G1 to now, so it doesn't bother people as much.

    Considering a transformation, from a practical standpoint, is literally changing from one form to another, how the HELL does anyone have any kind of idea to literally dictate what is a transformation and what isn't.

    So when I'm transofrming ER Cliffjumper he's not actually transforming according to anti-partsformers, right? So...if he isn't transforming then what am I actually doing with it? Some kind of black magic ritual? A hellish puzzle box? Am I actually in my own personal hell, my soul being torn apart? I just don't get it man. A transformation is a transformation in my book. I don't care if a part or two has to come off time to time to get there. I don't think others should either.

    If the backpack doesn't at least partsform into part of the car, I'm out.

    Oh yeah. Remember how Ironworks could take on a robot mode or form a claw for Optimus.

    I was scared Arcee was going to be a Chromia repaint, to my joy she may not be.

    Fear not, I have never liked or said anything good about Weaponizers or Modulators, and am therefore not a hypocrite as you suggest.

    Would be a perfect candidate for a "select series" release...

    Partsforming doesn't bother me, I just think Arcee with a hoverboard is a random weird match.

    Honestly I think the weaponizers and modulators are kinda lame.

    would kinda make sense if it was a Walgreens exclusive but I do know that makes it perhaps more difficult for many to get ?
    I know it would for me as I live in Japan and I would want to buy 4 ( have two kids ).

    It's obviously just Shell Pieces given a propose; my big question how lazy, will the "Hoverboard" be.

    Arcee is probably a pass. The Thrilling 30 was a great figure. Curious on the other one tho

    People still can't get over the fact that other folks have different preferences for what they want in their Transformers, and insist that their preference is the right one.

    I love this place. :lol

    The reason most people are bummed on Cliffjumper (and potentially Arcee)being a partsformer is because he's always been an all in one transformer. Parts forming is fine if that's the original gimmick. No one cares that Brunt and Omega Supreme partsform because they always did. It's disingenuous to think that people should shut up about Cliffjumper if they're fine with Brunt or Ironworks. It's essentially a step backwards and disappointing considering how many great leaps forward Hasbro has made with their new stuff. For the record I liked when beast wars incorporated weapons into the alt modes.

    T30 Arcee IS a great figure and probably the best deluxe from that turrible line. (At least the deluxes were small and not great IMHO, the Voyagers were OK though).
