    I can't see that happening but unlike Cliffjumper you can still have a proper car without it.

    I especially love the second transformable shoulder cannon. He is not an exclusive of any sort, isn't he? Because I really like him :oops:

    At the very least her "hoverboard" thing looks less like an obvious car kibble with the wheels hinged outwards.

    I know that im on about the middle of the back panel without the hoverboard bit on should be folded in so looks more like her back should do. Plus the hoverboard is mistransformed too the wheels should be folded out.

    So no I was not on about the obvious fact she still had the hoverboard attached. :rolleyes:

    For me my biggest gripe about ER Arcee would be the lack of 5mm ports but still it's not a dealbreaker so I'm not going to cancel my preorder

    They need to really step their game up on Fembot quality.

    I don't even want any other female characters retooled from this er Arcee mold. Meanwhile T30 Arcee remains queen.

    its kinda hard to design a proper transforming robot toy around the outdated "girl robot must look like a human bikini model" bodytype. really, the only ones that pulled it off were the TFP Arcees and her repaints.

    so the solution is to either make all ladybots with smol alt modes like motorcycles and sniper rifles. or to make more ladybots built like brick houses like Strongarm and Strika.

    Yes. I always thought they missed the chance with Siege Chromia and some alien drone/small spaceship or a single-track vehicle :(

    Yeah I just wish they would have incorporate better. I wonder if she will even fold up as it looks like the whole she'll will be going around her practically without her transforming at all. I just unsure about this arcee even though it looks good it could be better.

    Yeah, she's pretty much an action master that's designed to hide underneath the shell that becomes the entire car. They couldn't even be bothered to put her chest on a hinge or swivel to get it to be the actual hood of the car. Clearly they were going for the best robot mode and decided to ditch any of her being part of the alt mode, and this is what we get. Nice looking bot, but it just feels like they sort of gave up or didn't really care.

    And I'll be honest, I don't particularly like the car mode. It really LOOKS like a shell in those display pictures.

    Scorponok is the same MSRP as all the other Titans before him. Toys in general are just more expensive in Japan than in the states. Thankfully, with the brand unification, there's no longer any need to spend more on a Japanese version for you guys over there in the west :)

    This is true, however that run of LG headmasters were amazing and I sprung for the LG Fort Max. Somewhere in the back of my head I always hoped for a Skorponok that would match his JP Headmasters appearance. I'll buy it regardless, haha.

    why does Arcee have a clear plastic gun? Makes no sense, much like generations rattrap. Such a bizarre choice

    I honestly love this EarthRise Arcee over all other versions, including the Masterpiece one. She has a shorter face which makes her look cuter and younger. I like that her face is white including the lips and if this changes for the shipped product, I'll paint it back to all white with maybe soft pink lips. Her neck and collar are also smaller and look in proportion to her body. And speaking of her body, it is miles better looking than the bowl legged 2014 version. The hot pink face and cherry red lips on the 2014 & Masterpiece version makes her look like a cheap hooker, they could have toned it down a bit. I view her as being just as young as Hot Rod and the Earth Rise version gives off that vibe of fresh new recruit. I am very happy about this figure. I have Skorponok, Arcee, a Quintesson, and SkyLynx preordered. Can't wait.

    Or just do a whole range of different sizes and alt modes, just like the male robots get? TR Nautica and Windblade aren't either of those two extremes and yet are girls.
