Transformers Arcee

[z3r03d]

Hi All

Could anybody point me where i could find/buy Arcee from the G1 movie?

Prefer 3rd party ones.

Thanks :)

There should be a Generations Arcee coming when Age of Extinction and it's merchandising train finally leaves the station. No one has seen pictures of it but nevertheless some of us are still looking forward to how it turns out.
You could try Animated Arcee.

But if you have your heart set on third party there are plenty of Arcee substitutes.

TRNS-01 Valkyrie by Impossible Toys. (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C1p578Dq9cE/TqTIfUhA8GI/AAAAAAAADkA/z-HR_L3ABZc/s1600/TRNS-01+Arcee+%2528Valkyrie%2529+33.jpg) Good luck finding her. Impossible Toys ceased to be earlier this year and Valkyrie is much sought after.

MGT-01 Delicate Warrior by iGear. (http://oi55.tinypic.com/2uhyi3s.jpg) I think it looks better but I keep hearing of this toy falling to pieces.

PE-DX01 RC Motobot by Perfect Effect (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vwbsaplUwNI/UIGAVxlqVuI/AAAAAAAADeM/Xq49YisxrAg/s1600/Transformers+3rd+Party+Perfect+Effect+Motobot+PE-DX01+RC+Not+Arcee+(22).JPG) Taking it's design cues from someplace else, maybe IDW comics, this Arcee might not be what you're looking for but I found it fits in well with classics transformers.

There are probably others I'm forgetting.

From what I've seen, the one that looks like the best made is the PE version (I'm easily impressed by toys with diecast, lol), but unfortunately it's a bike mode not a car mode. The IGear one is the one I'd recommend over the Impossible Toys one, as Impossible Toys have really spotty QC problems.

In the future though, Mastermind Creations will have a car-mode Arcee called "Azalea" and the official HasTak Arcee will be coming soon-ish (hopefully this year)

I have the iGear (Distributed ;)) MGT-01 - Delicate Warrior and I can say easily that I've not had any issues with her whatsoever and agree she looks FAR better than Impossible Toys' effort with their TRNS-01 Valkyrie. ;):)

I posted some photos and a quick write-up a while ago; check it out if you'd like, it's at the bottom of this link (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=9247&highlight=Delicate+Warrior&page=2). :cool:

Hey Guys!

i like 3rd party version because it resembles the old G1 Cartoons.

Thanks so much! CBatron/Hursticon, Thanks for the photo. She's Perfect for my collection!!

I'll start looking for MGT-01 Delicate Warrior by iGear and buy one! If the Generations version ever comeout and its also as good (close to the G1 movie cartoon) then i'll buy it too. :)

Thanks again guys!

[CBratron]

I suppose by now you've seen pics of the official Generations version? I think it's exactly what you're looking for in a 3rd party version, except cheaper and easier to find.

If you haven't managed to get the MGT Arcee yet, chimungmung had her when I ordered about a week ago, and still do.

That being said, I still am getting the newly revealed pictured Gen Arcee too. My MGT should show up tomorrow from Chimungmung and if you want I can do some more pictures for you.

But is it worth the extra $50 over Generations Arcee? Personally, I think they have come to the Arcee party too late. Generations Arcee for me even though it's got a horrible back pack.

Between Animated Arcee and the upcoming Classicsverse Arcee I'm more than happy, but if I was after a more IDW-esque and/or a high-quality Arcee I'd be going the MMC route.
If I happen across one of their green not-Paradron medics going cheap I might pick it up, but there's a lot of good stuff coming out lately and it's not a high-priority want for me.

[Oberon Sexton]

When it comes to Arcee and Chromia, I've decided to go with the generations figures. But the fact that MMC are doing a Elita-1, I may need to get that,lol.

They look 'messy' IMO. And what's with the butt flaps? Don't like the Alt modes either.

[1AZRAEL1]

I don't think that's Elita-1. It would be a Paradron Medic from the episode Cybertron Revisited.

[CBratron]

MMC's version takes its design cues from psycho Arcee. Just needs more spikes on the shoulders and forearms.

Agree! Agree! :D Also, considering that Hasbro are making Arcee and Chromia -- if those toys sell well, then I reckon they'd consider making Generations Elita-1, Moonracer etc. I'll be voting with my wallet and getting the real deal from Hasbro. ;)

Yeah, IMO I don't think it's messy, I just kind of think Cybertronian and you can fold the but flap up....it has some fairly tricky transformation as well... you can watch peaugh's review here of the test shot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGn1HjPltXQ

I think Oberon was referring to this this MMC fembot from the same mold.

Ah. Hadn't see that picture. Only knew about the Paradron repaint.

Money is why I'm getting the Generations versions. There are better versions, but they're way too much. Generations price is perfect.

[Lord_Zed]

I quite like the look of these, and they are bound to have better articulation and build quality than Hasbro's "real" version.

That said I'm going to wait for Alita one as I already have PE Motorbot who I'm quite happy with. She'll suffice for my psycho warrior Arcee fix, while the Generations figure should cover the G1 homage side of things.

[Tfiguy]

One thing is for sure, judging by their other releases, Mastermind Creations would definitely deliver on quality. I'd love to see the finished product

stumbled on this and thought i'd share it since we are talking about Arcee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96Zk9d_c3v4) :)

Instruments of Destruction indeed.
Unicron's guitar solo was the best part.
