    And no, I don't mean this that for some reason was created:

    【Pre-Order】SKW-05 Modified Backpack for WFC Earthrise Arcee Upgrade Kit

    [​IMG]

    I mean the unsightly removable backpack that ruins what could have been a decent enough vehicle mode.

    A new backpack could do so much for the mould, not only it could make Arcee's vehicle mode more interesting but with some remoulding also give a different look to Lifeline's and maybe even give Elita One something similar to her classic alt-mode.

    Anyone please make something like that, not a solution that nobody asked for like the above link or creating even more weapons for the mould (Yes, melee weapons for Fembots are always appreciated but this is more important).

    Hmm, well I'm not too concerned about changing Arcee's alt mode, but that shoulder piece you posted looks pretty good. Thanks for letting me know about it!

    Doesn't even work in alt-mode.

    I'll just balance her car mode on top of it and pretend it's a hoverboard.

    I just wish there were an Arcee figure that didn't wear her entire alt mode on her back.

    True, that one's backpack is only two thirds of the car. :lol 

    Basically I'd like an Arcee where most of the car is actually integrated into the bot mode, rather than the two modes sharing almost none of the same parts. Hasn't happened yet, but hopefully one day.

    When we're finally able to walk away from this hypertoon jail we've been stuck in and finally be willing to create more stylized versions of these characters, we just might.

    Maybe year-after-next.

    Looked so awful that I didn’t even bother to post it in EAT earlier.

    Also looked very odd with the head swap.

    That really isn't a bad figure. Just too "animated" for me. But I would love something a bit more along these lines in a "Generations" nu-style of some sort.

    Well, TR Arcee exists. But I suppose a lot of people don't like it because she's "just a repaint of Blurr"

    Alex Milne's Arcee design for Transformers Terminator crossover comic. This would make a cool figure.

    Also because she's a headmaster. I actually appreciated that figure--Blurr retool or no. But I definitely like Arcee pre-HM.

    Which make the new official figures look like works of art.

    Priorities. Someone needs to fix Siege/ER Megatron first.

    I mean. You can have your opinion.

    The official figures look like crackerjack prizes to me.
