    And if you threw a party,
    And invited everyone you knew,
    You would see the biggest gift would be from me,
    And the card attatched would say,
    "Titans are returning again"

    Starring Devastator as Rose
    Skorponok as Dorothy
    Predaking as Blanche
    And introducing Trypticon as Sofia

    Those wheels are about the only thing more infuriating to me than the Seeker crotch flap.
    If they had done anything, even paint the spokes or the make sure that center was black it would look so much better.

    I'm late to the party... Arcee is an absolute disappointment. Good grief, that's awful. She does indeed look like a bar of soap and I don't understand how their designs have regressed instead of progressed since Thrilling 30.

    I hope she's not going to be the trend in design. She's lazy, complacent, lacking paint, and you'd think her funding went into Unicron or something and then you remember that the people paid for him and there's no excuse for her.

    *sigh* I really wanted to like her. I think I'm going to have to cancel my pre-order.

    Yup. Bot mode looks pretty darn good, car mode looks like a dollar store toy.

    Airwave looks Perfect!! Him and Arcee are the hugest must haves in this wave. I can’t get over how good they look.

    Nice to see some positive remarks about Arcee on the boards. If anything I really don’t see what the hype about Smokescreen is about, genuinely think the Siege with labels looks many times better than the ER version. Arcee and Airwave are must buys.

    Absolutely stunning robot mode but I'm still not feeling this "modulators" gimmick. I'd buy him instantly tho if he was just a regular transformer changing into any kind of platform vehicle to transport micromasters. And if he was an autobot on top of that :lolol 

    This is a nice carbot. Nice to see that they at least tried to cover those gaps in the legs even if that still doesn't look the best :(  but I already own Siege Bluestreak and Barricade so I don't really need a slight remold :)

    Smokescreen here is an entirely new mold, not a "slight remold"

    I really like the new mold for Smokescreen. Looks great. I've already mentioned my hatred of the visible mushroom pegs on the wheels. It just ruins the look of the vehicle for me. I'm not a fan of the design of his shoulder cannons either.

    Hopefully, both issues can be fixed with 3rd party accessories.

    Earthrise Arcee is just...okay! I am hoping that the new G1 Movie Studio Series line will contain a better version of her!
