Anyone else wanting that Cheetor just to use its parts?

 

They look great. But they should've saved these two for a new Transmetals sub-line.

 

So it looks like Arcee won’t be in scale with (I hope) the rest of team Prime. It’s kinda hard getting an exact picture of her height, as her feel look angled and give an impression that she’s taller, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Excited for this wave overall, here’s hoping we get some more Prime reveals.

 

I'd be fine with that. M'tired of missing out on Devvy.

 

I was hoping Arcee would be smaller, but it looks like she isn't. Comparing her to Optimus's package shots, she's at most only an inch shorter.

 

I'm somewhat interested in Arcee as a standalone figure to mess around with. I would love to see them do the Season 1 cast of TF: Prime, but unless they announce a larger R.E.D. size class (which seems unlikely, given how poorly received the line has been so far) there's just no way they can pull off anything remotely resembling proper scale. Given that Arcee is six inches, characters like Megatron and Optimus would need to be 8-inch figures AT LEAST.

 

At least. Optimus in the show is a tad more than twice her height, so he'd have to be like 12 inches tall to be in scale and Megs would be even bigger. As much as I want accurate scaling, I doubt they will be. But I agree, I will probably get the entire Prime cast if they make them just to pose and mess around with. Hopefully they do an Airachnid later on that will actually scale with Arcee.

 

Yeah, but PRID starscream was already pretty damn accurate to the show... aside from arcee having wheels on her calves, she was too?

Maybe they're just testing the waters with the fembot, but even i would be out on R.E.D. of other lines save G1... beasts are already a pass for me.

Like you 2 above, if they don't scale, I don’t want em'.

18" fully posable Bruticus though... I'm in.

 

Honestly, I could live without perfect scale. But Optimus being the same height as Arcee would just kill it for me. It’s a shame HasTak put themselves in a box by marketing R.E.D. as a line of “6 inch figures” as if it were a selling point. That works fine for DC, Marvel, and Star Wars, but I can’t think of any Transformers cartoon, movie, or comic where all or even most of the characters were the same height and build.

 

Yeah, honestly this line had a ton of potential, but so far they've not really held up to any of it. Like they're supposed to be as accurate as possible, so why not make them accurately-scaled too? Unless they aren't planning on doing any figures outside of Arcee and Knockout and didn't see any point in making her smaller? I collect Hasbro's Marvel Legends line too and there they have figures more or less to scale, even outside of BAFs. I wish they'd do that for this one too. Bumblebee probably has the same issue. It's supposed to be 6 inch scale, not entirely 6 inch figures.

She looks terrific. Definitely the best RED figure so far, from the looks of it.

 

What?

I don't think so since the line is 6 inches.

 

And the Decepticon badge is a sticker peeling up on one corner.

 

R.E.D. Arcee looks awesome!  

 

And where are the pink stripes?

 

She looks fantastic! I may end up giving her a repaint, but the mold is basically perfect. I've said this a few times, but Prime was what this line was designed for. Very excited to see Knockout. Hopefully he's a little taller than her.

 

Arcee is an instant buy.

 

Totally. She is the standout figure in the entire line. None of the rest seem really necessary or even perfect in terms of screen accuracy. Either there’s been a ton of fairly close screen accurate versions already (Prime, Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream), or the RED figure didn’t quite get the look right (Cheetor).

But Arcee delivers on what this line is said to be all about. More please!

 

Damn....she's so freaking good!
