    this is the same crappy "official hasbro picture' they had in toyfare a month back, and we've since heard from someone overseas hwo got to mess with HA Sideswipe that his lower legs can pull out farther (i think we saw a picture of it that looked a lot better)

    Nice to see in the close up Sideswipe looks less like he's 'smiling'

    I am so all in on this line ~ don't even mind the door wings on Skids, they look good.

    (but why-oh-why didn't the make BBs seats so they could fold down like Skids)

    I like Skids, but I don't think I shall be bothering unless he's seen cheap somewhere in a year's time. Sideswipe I am happy with as a Deluxe.

    For some reason, Bumblebee is the only one that really looks good. Skids would be my 1st pick, but Skids doesn't have the "wings" in the movie, and that Arcee looks terrible, so I'm gonna hold out for the Deluxe Arcee. Either Sideswipe's lower torso is really unproportionate, or it's the perspective of the camera. I'm gonna have to see more photos.

    And is Ironhide supposed to be part of the HA line?

    Sideswipe is bought JUST for that sexy-ass vehicle mode. Robot mode is okay.

    Skids is great, though. He should've come with one man... Simmons, but hey, maybe Mudflap have him? Skid's robot mode is awesome, and Arcee is a nifty extra.

    Whats with this vertion of Arcee?

    Okay, so I'm seeing many things I don't like about this figure.
    1st. Her Face. It just dos not look right and dose not even look like the one in the movie. Plus its all hunched over. :wtf: 
    2nd. Whats with her gun arm, it just dose not look right and I'm also not seeing an elbow joint. So it looks like it stays fixed in that position.:peoples: 
    I think it would be better for Hasbro not to call this one Arcee. Give it another name and it will be a little more okay.

    The plus sides with this figure over the other ROTF Arcee is she dose not need a Chiropractor to straighten her spine. :crazy: 
    I hope the Mikaela can sit right on the Energon vertion of Arcee, or even the new ROTF Knock out.
    Sorry, But I had to get that off my chest. Don't get me wrong I will be buying this set, I like the Skids and Mikaela figure :rock  And maybe when I see the figure in person It may be better then in the photos.

    So far the best ROTF Arcee I have seen so fat is the "Mystery Arcee".

    Either that's a crazy shadow or some cybertronian markings that shouldn't really be there :crazy:  Looks cool though.

    Yeah, that Arcee is more like a red Chromia with the wrong bike for an alt-mode.

    Wow, Sideswipe's doors are cool. Well, the way they open in vehicle mode...I approve. Going to get it but I don't know if I like it better than the deluxe. Wish Epps had his "Left Cheek" gear on.

    Skids grew wings! And Arcee is Demolisher's little sister. Mikaela doesn't have Megan Fox's trademark "Ima gonna burn someone's face off" expression. She looks nice, which is good. I don't want an angry Megan Fox staring at me from behind Skids on my shelf.

    And Skids' seats fold in. THANK YOU! Buying both of these on the spot!

    I'm starting to wonder if that bike was even meant to be Arcee... maybe they just wanted to make Megan Fox's bike into a toy, and figured it would sell better if it transformed. Then they stuck Arcee's name on it.

    I mean look at it, it looks absolutely nothing like Arcee.
