Arcee really surprised me. When I heard she was a character cut from the movie, I thought her figure would probably be second rate, but now that I have her I think she's one of the best Transformer designs. Both her modes look awesome. Articulation is well done. Great weapon too.

I think she will be in the sequel. She has been in the comic version of the sequel.

While being a fairly complex transformation I was really surprised how well everything fit together. All the pieces on mine lock in perfectly, and the proportions of both the bike and the figure look relatively accurate to the archetypal objects. It's also worth mentioning that they included cool little details like the kickstand and the rocket that hooks on to the side of the bike to become the exhaust pipe. Nice.

That's exactly what I thought when I got it, too. It's just about perfect in both modes, which is really hit or miss with TFs most of the time. You don't typically get a TF where both modes are totally impressive. And like you said, articulation is awesome, she's extremely posable, and the weapon becomes part of the bike instead of looking like something extra just stuck on somewhere, trying to look inconspicuous. She's a great figure, and I really liked the version before this one, too...the Transformers Universe one that was white w/black & red. There have been some really bad robot/motorcycle designs over the years and there have been some good ones, too, and this one is probably the best! I got the black version that comes with the Allspark cube, it rocks. do you happen to have any pics of that? I haven't seen the black version yet, I'd love to see it...oh wait NM, I found one on ebay (of course). She has cool purple "tattoos." And... OUCH! The seller is charging $15 for the figure and $40 for the "shipping." Is the figure really that rare and worth $50+ Also, I hate it when sellers jack up the shipping cost like that just to avoid paying seller fees. I know ebay sucks charging a percentage of the price, but it's just messed up to charge that much for the "shipping." Plus, even $15 is too much to ship that figure!! You could mail it easily for $7. And there are OTHER ways to fight the inflation ebay demands on sellers... START SELLING & BUYING ON OTHER AUCTION SITES!! Don't allow ebay to be a freakin' MONOPOLY in the online auction business! If people would start using alternative auction sites instead of kissing ebay's virtual butt, then maybe a little COMPETITION would make ebay think twice! As it stands, no one strays from the almighty ebay and so, ebay can make as many demands as they feel like on their members, who have no say in the matter. Fight the behemoth!
