I felt the same way with the original Prime Arcee toys. They were way too big, a core class Prime Arcee would have been perfect for this line.

Unless Arcee is supposed to be big enough for other Transformers to ride like a Junkion she should be core class.

 

Bulkhead has evolved quite a lot since TF:Animated. It is my favorite among the reveals here (besides Dragstrip). I agree the robot made could be a bit better, the vehicle mode really does it for me.

 

Is it wrong I want a Windblade somewhere in this new "Trilogy"?

After 2 Generations toys (Original and TR, not counting repaints), she went poof. Dropped of the Generations radar.

And so has Drift for that matter.

 

Checked BBTS first hence the $55 price. Regardless, why's he's back to that price point? Thought he'd be $80 or something unless they cut some corners with the materials, etc. I guess the trailer is much smaller compared to Rodimus? Not a lot of paint details on the figure as well I guess.

 

Why would he be $80?
He's Leader Class, not Commander.

 

I meant the actual figure being potentially roughed up.

 

They are in Cyberverse. They should both get a Deluxe Cyberverse release (along with a bunch of other characters) before going to Generations IMO.

 

I thought he'd be commander class cause of how they classified Rodimus.

 

Initially, I wasn't keen on Bulkhead just because of how... square he is, but when it was pointed out to me that they're trying to fit him into the G1 aesthetic, I could at least see the appeal. But Prime Arcee's entire design feels like it was leaning into being angular and sleek, so this version feels... wrong.

At least I'll probably get a new RID Scourge from that Optimus. Now that I'm excited for  

 

I know that. That's why I specifically mentioned Generations.

 

Tankor retool?

 

Are any other Hasbro lines getting the environmental no plastic treatment? I haven't seen it with Marvel Legends or G.I. Joe Classified, but I don't collect SW, MMPR, or any of their other lines. If not, why did they decide only TFs needed to be environmentally friendly? Seems one more reason to think it was just a way to reduce costs.

 

Not showing Dragstrip's limb mode is the ultimate cocktease Hasbro has ever done. Trolling at its best.

 

Well, if the theory of Motormaster + trailer as the entire body of Menasor with the others just as attached cars is true, then they already shown the "limb mode" technically.

 

Scaled to robot mode, not to alt mode.

Vehicle mold scale might be important to folks, but Transformers has always been about robot mode scale

 

It would be nice, but I don't mind it as much since I'm used to the 3rd Party treatment on reveals now. The car mode looks great, so the Menasor mode will look good IMO. The spoiler shoulder pads on Dragstrip robot mode bug me more than anything. They couldn't have them fold to his back or sides?

 

Arcee is a tiny core class robot size in the Prime cartoon, not a deluxe.

 

Because then eeeeeeeeeeeeeeverybody else would be furious about her being too small in robot mode which is most people's display preference.

 

When they shown the back of the figure it seems that the pads are on hinges that, hopefully, can slide on the back giving Dragstrip a more cartoon accurate appearance. They probably placed those pads to recreate the high shoulders of the original toy and other later incarnations, but it doesn't work too well in my opinion.

 

I hope you're right.
