I can't believe that TakaraTomy is doing a G1ish repaint of the Arcee movie bike for Wonder Festival 2008!
I'm a sucker for predominantly white and grey figures, and this looks a bit like that but it could be more pink than grey.
Who the phrock cares!!!
She's one I need to get. She can stand next to Masterpiece Ultra Magnus, Botcon Unit 2, and Botcon Ratchet.
Man. First Evac I swoon for and now this damn Arcee. Hell... I even like that black repaint of the damn thing too!

And damn if I'm not shocked as all shit that there will be a TakaraTomy Encore Omega Supreme release!
There goes the aftermarket small clip market.
I mean... why pay the same for a small 1cm yellow clip when you can buy an entire reissue for the same price with NO FLOPPY CLAW SYNDROME!!!
I still need to think about snagging one of those Sky-Lynx reissues too. I doub't know if I'll do OS though.
Quite frankly, he's just too big. I'd be a thousand times happier with a Revoltech Omega Supreme. These bigger figures are fun for kids to play with but other than sitting their ass on a shelf they just don't do much for me anymore.
wonder what she'll go for?
I like it but probably not enough to actually pay what I know folks will charge for her.

Having some kind of TF Klan meeting, are we?
Um. No.
You know I like "teams" that look consistent.
At least I thought you did.
If not.
Now you do.
Goddamn this Arcee mold sucks, & now they try to paint it G1 colours? Those boneheads
Back in the day they planned to make an Arcee out of the Blurr mold. If they could've done it back then - then why can't they make one now?
Come on Takara, Make us an G1 Arcee with just a teeny weeny bit of posability (ball joints, elbows, knees etc.) Please! Pretty Please!
At first I thought it was the Energon mold again. I dunno, I still think the face is not good.
Isn't Sky Lynx just as big as OS? Maybe even bigger, shelf space wise, since OS stands up and Sky Lynx is more horizontal (or at least, as much so as vertical).
I'm very tempted to drop triple digits on that Omega Supreme and pose in a photo with it, as you suggested a few months back. The Anime-faced Encore Bumblebee mini-bot seems cool as well.
Now if they'd just come out with a set of Soundwave's cassettes...
Pulse ,you are confusing hastak with ktibashers. KITBASHERS dis a blurr-arcee. HASTAK's plan was to redeco Chromedome
Nala-
Yeah, I know. I remember you waxing ecstatic about the Sector Seven repaints and how they kept a consistent color theme that you found aesthetically pleasing. It's actually a pretty good idea that will likely never come to fruition for anything beyond those repaints.
Still, if I saw a picture of those TFs together, the first thing that would come to my mind is "Kill Whitey." Just sayin'.
Rhinox: A Chromedome done as Arcee would suck - Arcee should not be a goddamn headmaster
But the Blurr mold would look pretty damn cool. A new head, A few wheels & some curves would look damn sweet. I'm sure there'd be plenty of people (including myself) who wouldn't mind forking out a fair few dollars for an excellent rendition of G1 Arcee that fully transforms.
They should just bite the bullet and knock out MP-06 Masterpiece Arcee. I mean seriously, if the garage kit producers can knock out a near-perfect anime-accurate version then it's hardly going to be much of a challenge to HasTakTomy now, is it?
Yeah, this wonderfest exclusive is going to be PRICEY. While I would love to pick it up ... I doubt that I'll be able to fit it into the budget. Am definitely getting the black redeco though.
