This Arcee just needs to die. It wasn't in the movie (thank God) and it should just be forgotten that it was ever designed...in my opinion of course.
Seriously, this is the only movie design that really just doesn't sit well with me (except maybe Fenzy...but I just like the character so much ). I think maybe mostly because they tried to give her hair...which just looks stupid. Wreckage/Stryker was much better. As was Red Alert (or whoever that other emergency vehicle was going to be).

I will agree that the head sculpt was horrid. I wish they had put more thought into it, but for a motorcycle it isn't half bad, and doesn't have thunder thighs like energon Arcee, which was a horrid mold too IMO. I even read the prequel comic and Arcee still bothered me with the way her head was designed. I do believe I read they wanted her in it, but time constraints and blah blah blah. I am curious who they had wanted to voice her though. At either rate now that I look at the colors, it really wasn't the best choice, decent attempt, but the black Arcee is far superior color wise.
Black probably wouldn't have worked int he movie though because there was already a black character. Everyone needed a distinct color so that they'd be instantly recognizeable (which is my guess for why they didn't go with red for Ironhide). (and black was already kind of used twice with Ironhide and Barricade)
That's my guess anyway, maybe they didn't care and just went for "cool" colors. <shrugs>

Arcee is a nice figure, even with the fetish heels (heh!) up and that face - you know, that face with the moustache - but I wouldn't pick up a repaint.
Oh, they'll squeeze me for my pennies for Seekers and I'll cough up for something I really, really want, but general repaints ain't so. Making Arcee an exclusive and trying to taunt me just won't work. Neither will the G1 colours, which are insipid.

In the same thinking, I hate to compare different genres, but the Aliens in Alien Quadrilogy and AvP series have fetish heels! XD They deserve love, more than Arcee, who's only real claim to fame is she was boinking both Springer and Rodimus, and was a "head"master (laughs). Sorry the momentum carried me XB.

I don't know if it's just the photography, but that's an awful shade of pink! It's sort of a salmon color. The pink used in Energon would have been preferable I think. The black is nice, but I'm actually liking the purple of the original paint job quite a bit. It works nicely with the black accents.
Um. Can't drink beer anymore... a cold shandy would be nice Since it's so far from there to here, how about I buy myself one tomorrow and say it's from you?Springer007 wrote:Ooh really? Well next time I am in your area how bout i buy you the finest of ales or beers and we can talk more about Aliens and Transformers.
Back on topic (if we ever left it): New colours = icecream soda. Even more insipid scheme than I expected. Is it true Arcee was originally made pink because she's a girl and girls can like - and buy - TFs, too?

The way that the pink is dispersed through out the body, it now looks like she's wearing a pink corset to complement the pink stiletto boots.
That's just....great :rolleyes:
edit: You see, if the aforementioned sections were black, then she could accessorize her look with a whip rather than a cross-bow
