    Yeah I think designs like that need to be reworked or retired and G1 Arcee is one I feel that way on, like the design but no matter how hard we try if you try to go 1:1 kibble-less robot mode it won't work. Give me TF vs Terminator Arcee Hasbro.

    I feel like Titans Return Arcee was the best Arcee.

    Still sad I never got one. I had it pre-ordered at TRU, but when it came time to ship it, they charged me for two, then never shipped me anything as they tanking at the time.

    I never got one either at the time, and for me I like the T30 one a little more cause it's closer to the source material and more Arcee to me. But objectively that is probably the best G1 transforming Arcee Hasbro's done.

    I can't fucking wait for them to release EarthSpark arcee. I love the vehicle and have ever since I was a child and it just looks like it could work if they try it just a little bit. And it gives me high hopes because besides Megatron all of the earth spark figures have been really good. It's also very close to the Terminator version so if they make one it wouldn't be too hard to retool into the other :)

    For me my problem with that design is, unfortunately, it has the same problem as G1 Arcee, all the kibble disappears and the headlights are all that is left on her back. I like the design in the shot but as a figure both in Legacy or in the ES line is probably gonna have this same problems.

    I just automatically assume that the rest of the car is on the back. Although they have been creative with leg transformations and torso transformations lately so they might actually figure out how to fold it all up although that would leave the vehicle mode lined as hell. But I can literally see the Earth spark figure being the same as the Terminator artwork as far as where the kibble is and I don't think I would have a problem with that for instance look at the earthrise Elita One. The toy is really good looks like the character turns into a vehicle that looks like the vehicle from the show and yes it does have some kibble on the back but it's not atrocious.
