    Hey. I like Pink Assassin. Hell, Shrikes Feather is the closest Slipstream character adaptation I own. But pink still suffers from the one thing everyone was bitching about in the first place. She’s still a shell former thats still wearing a car on her back. Again. I like her. But I don’t see she solves that dilema.

    Of all possible shortcomings on this toy. the one that bothers me is her eyes. Her eyes should be bigger/wider to match her cartoon appearance IMO. Cyberverse Bumblebee toys always get the big doe eyes, so you'd think Arcee would get a similar consideration.

    Yeah, that's true. I've only said the IF one because she was the only 3P that was priced at $20, when first released, I think.

    All up to personal aesthetic I guess. The ER one looks nice too.

    I'm amazed at how Hotrod and Grimlock took a downward turn from the first wave, yet Arcee takes it back up again...

    I think Grimlock looks pretty good, it's Hotrod that looks like they forgot to finish him.

    This might be the first Cyberverse figure I get. Arcee doesn't get enough attention, IMO. I'm looking forward to the ER version as well.

    He's certainly not as bad as Hotrod is, but he definitely needed more paint on him, along with better designed arms/dino legs, and movable dino arms.

    Grimlock is actually fairly well painted. ALL the yellow is painted. That is also a problem because the yellow can potentially scuff during normal transformations (dino head onto body in particular).

    His legs are fairly complex to transform.

    Hot Rod needed a lot more paint. It seems like they're limited to molding plastic in 2 colors for the entire figure. More of the red should have been painted yellow. Hot Rod is neck and neck with Megatron for worst Cyberverse Deluxe figure (which is still better than all the other toys in the Cyberverse lines). I'm tempted to make my own yellow wings for him for robot mode.

    Both their blast effects, however, are very well done. Best of the line so far and better than anything Battle Masters come with. Hot Rod's in particular actually looks like the renders on the packaging: true transparent orange.

    Probably I'll get it because it's different enough from the T30 one. Arcee robot design is cheaty on same level with the post AoE Bayverse, at least the backpack doesn't look any more intrusive than on the T30 mold.

    I actually had this and Thunderhowl pre-ordered at Target during their BOGO1/2 sale. They originally had a release date in March, then April, then May, and are now both canceled. Got an order cancelation notice the other day for both.
