Man I remember when my dad gave me a handful of episodes of Season 2, the Movie, and all of season 3 that he had from when he was a kid after I finished Energon/Armada. Most of the Season 2 episodes (at least I think they were mostly Season 2) were focused on Prime. So that plus Prime having died in Armada and being my favourite character from before hand made the Movie an experience and Dark Awakening was a episode of emotions.
Hey now; Arcee is an independent character with agency and the ability, at least in the fiction, to make her own choices. ... She can totally come with both. #polyisthefuture
Oh man! Spoiler alert! I haven't seen Armada yet! Just kidding, Prime apparently dies in most TF shows. Poor guy! I haven't seen the Unicron Trilogy yet but I hope to watch it with my son eventually. Animated and Beast Wars as well. What thread is this again? Oh yeah! Arcee! Less than 2 months until release. Thankfully Spinout and MPM Starscream will make the wait a little easier for me. Hopefully we get a review or transformation pics soon.
You dad? You must be preteen, then? *checks profile* shit, 19. 19? And dad was G1? Not uncle, dad's much younger brother? Man that make me feel old...
Cheeky git I'll have you know, sir ( ), that apparently I'm officially classed as a millennial - although I prefer the sliding boundaries that some academics use for that, because I'm more GenX even though I was born in '82
I second this and offer to pay for shipping!! Early preview of DeanML with an MP? Hell yeah sign me up
inb4 everyone just passes it around. First Dean, then Chris, then you... then me! I kid of course. I'd be taking a lot more photos as of late if... 1. I had a dedicated camera, still working on that. 2. If I didn't have an old TV sitting sideways on my dresser, as i'm starting to really fix up this room. Gonna grab a new TV soon after I get my grubby hands on a PS5, gotta paint a newly emptied closet and soon enough, gonna replace most if not all this furniture, haha. The hard part about the latter is getting all that taken care of and keeping up with releases... wew boy. Thankfully i've got my family who's helping me with that. Couldn't have emptied that closet without my father's help. It was a SHITSHOW, haha. Just gotta take off some shelf mounting stuff and I can get that furnished and acoustically treated so I can make that a makeshift VO studio.
The hype is real. I can't wait till release. One a side note, anyone have any opinions on the Zeta Toys EX-O5B Arcee? I know the vehicle mode is kind of ass but I'm more interested in collectors' take on her bot mode. Is she solidly built? Does she have a wide range of articulation and pose? Thanks
I'm not crazy about the lips on the neutral face, but yeah the smiling one (3rd) and the sad one (2nd) are both great, and I can see myself using the 'surprised' one (4th) too. Overall I'm digging it!
Now you mention it, I think it's the lips that jump out at me, too. And this is the one we've seen consistently in images and which folks have criticised (myself included). I know we've seen the others, but looking at them all in straight on I'm more than happy I can get my toony look from her without too much concern. The 'upper slope' issue is just something I hope is less obvious in hand, and if so I'll be quite happy with her I think, having seen these latest pics.
