Yeah, I think that sorta arc in her torso looks like she's constantly sticking her butt out. Some angles look alright, but perhaps they overdid that a bit and it just looks wierd. Face and eyes def need work too.

 

I dont get the whole human anatomy comparison to MP51 unless its just to argue that she dont have grandma chests.

Arcee's a feminized robot. pushing more human features into it just starts pushing away from her animation design.




if we're doing drawovers of arcee on human body propotions, then might as well start doing drawovers of optimus

 

Exactly that.

What's done is done. The fact is, MP Arcee was designed to have more human, feminine anatomy, as opposed to strictly following the animation design. Pointing out discrepancies to the cartoon images is pointless.

 

if takara's intention was to have a more human, feminine anatomy, then sure, they succeeded in that. guess i missed that memo.

I do not think its pointless to compare it to cartoon images however.

 

BuT mUh tOoN AcuRaCY!
(jk, in this case toon accuracy would look better imo)

 

Lol!!! Likewise, bruh!

I haven't transformed Arcee yet, had to do the whole veh mode thing 1st. She fits in there nicely! Some of these pics popping up have her balanced on one hand though, shit is crazy.

I'll get to her this weekend, though.

 

Just bought Rouge for $80, complete with all accessories and original packaging. I like it, for the most part.

 

Thats not bad.
Have the prices for Rouge dropped since MP Arcee?

 

What seller?

 

Dude kept the hood ornaments, and is selling the hoods!  


“These are chest replacement parts for the Fans Toys Rouge figure. Since this figure is known to have bad paint chopping on the chest pieces during transformation, these are replacements for that problem.”

Sure they are buddy... sure they are.  

 

Here's the link

Are these FT original replacement parts?
I wasn't sure if they were part of the chest upgrade kit:

Pretty sure it is the ONE original FT chest plate that he replaced with an “upgrade”, and then the “enhanced” chest plate that comes with the upgrades.  

 

Ahhh. Gotcha. No need for the OEM parts now. Lol.

 

Here I took a fast pic of Arcee and her different chest plates. Left is original FT "bigger" chest in die cast, middle is original FT "smaller" or more toon accurate chest in die cast and on the right is the add-on chest made up of die cast frame and rubber on top (to give you some kind of squishy feel).



So it looks like this person is selling both genuine chests that come with FT-24 Rouge.

 

Still the best line by far about MP51.  

 

And accurate.

 

Was trying to do an alt mode comparison shot with all of the Arcee bots but I can't get Rouge's left pylon to transform an the right one is tight but movable.
Its like the metal is frozen in one spot. The only good thing is they don't flop around. 

 

I went back to Flat chest for my FT Rouge, i prefer it, and looks better with MP Rouge and MMC Azalea.

 

I have to say, it's been making me feel like Picard in that episode with the four lights. The whole situation is the biggest head trip I've felt in my 20+ years of discussing TFs on the internet.

 

Definitely prefer the more accurate chest.

Also, used this as a “bump,” seeing how there is a sad offishal OnLy guy on the Official Arcee thread bragging about how they’re constantly on page one, and this was on page 9 — and “I’M JERRY SMITH!”’ing and patting each other on the back on every other post.

Super super cringe.

I check the thread from time to time to see if anyone fixed her alien face and terrible chest yet; looks like there may be hope in the future though from some peeps. The figure may actually be worth a look at when it happens.


It’s too bad you can literally create alt mode entirely on her back and have her wear *that* as the backpack also.


Oh well. You know how the official section goes. They have many many slow days. Gotta pass the time somehow; apparently by being 40+ and acting like you’re 11.
