There's a good reason why I never liked G1 Arcee design. It just can't be made into a good mass-retail toy. Sticking with the T30 one only because it satisfies my bare minimum goal of having any transforming G1 Arcee representation...

Truth is, the T30, the Earthrise and this one are as good as one can expect for this character in a mass-retail line.

 

It's just tiring to hear everyone here complain about any new figure that comes out.

 

The Ignore option is heaven.

 

There's a reason Animated Arcee is still considered one of the best Arcee toys ever made.

 

Disagree partsforming is lazy and the kibble is similar to as is appears in the show

I have seen earthrise transformation all it does is move its leg while Cyberverse has the arms apart of the vehicle and flips the legs in the back

And I said parts falling off because the fin on earthrise can easily fall off and be lost

I agree on cartoon accuracy

 

I mean you have to take the kibble off for it to look better.

 

So it seems like ER Arcee is the new punching bag of the forum

 

cyberverse has the whole backpack long down the leg
arcee can compress all to the bạck , yes it's big but i don't find it too jarring in hand, if anything it take same space as chromia.
Not to say both of them look great , but I like them both for taking 2 different approach while maintaining great female body proportion and great poseability

 

Happy to have that happen. And I very much want the Cliffjumper treatment for the rest of the minibots. People complaining about prices? Don't care. They'd complain regardless, in my experience.

 

No irony lost on the fact it's a female character.

 

Wat

 

When Victorion was introduced, people complained that they didn't look feminine enough. Now the complaint is that Transformers with feminine forms make bad figures because they can't turn in to their alts without backpacks.

Why do people think Hasbro/Takara pivoted away from Arcee as her G1 alt and started giving her a motorcycle alt? It was so they could give her a feminine design without having to have a big clunky backpack.

And that's not to say there isn't a problem with bots like Strongarm, Clobber, Strika, etc...it's good to mix up body types. But in all three cases those were characters who had the benefit of coming at a time when the alt/bot could be planned for the toys in advance. It's also why stuff like Animated Arcee works. She could get a bot/alt design that was done with an eye to potential toys.

Rather than Arcee, Chromia, etc who couldn't simultaneously have accurate G1 alts and bots without big clunky backpacks.

 

No kibble? Just go Titans Return.

 

Thanks for the response!

 

She's in stock at Target.com for anyone interested:

Transformers Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures Deluxe Arcee

 

Was up in Franklin Tn and spotted the Cyberverse Arcee.

 

Cyberverse Deluxe Arcee is actually a very nice figure despite the ridiculous backpack.

You can tell that a lot of the Deluxe line budget went towards her: well painted, more base plastic colors, 2 nice large blast effects, and 3 Maccadam parts.

 

Woof.
