The sad thing is it actually looks really cool the way you've got it posed in the vid. If the articulation was, y'know, thought out at all, it might actually be a cool but weird mold. The gun rocks and even the bike mode looks cool from one side. Hasbro keeps messing up figures in weird ways; making a cool, unique mold but screwing it up in articulation or paint job. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

And I like unusual or even ugly molds, like Armada Sideswipe. I so wanted to like this Arcee. It was a waste and the guy that designed her and Rampage needs to be fired.

Arcee's paint is way off her movie version.The snake pose isn't bad but the figure should stand up straight which it can't.I have Chromia and she's alri at best I like completing show/movie characters which is why I bought her.Currently I have my figures displayed in the Egypt fight and Bonecrusher is standing over Chromia after taking her down and Arcee and Flare up wil do the same once I get them.The 3 of them shall be deceased casualties with the other bots battling.
The 07 version was leaps and bounds better than these.The idea of really combining seemed to get scrapped in the movie as Devastator must have the one mind controlling all parts and Skids and Mudflap only combined in vehicle mode.
I've never really liked Arcee,Elita 1 and Chromia but to turn them into this is shocking and anyone who is fans of them must be pissed.

I enjoyed their appearances in the movie. And I'm a huge Elita One fan.

My comiserations dude .At least elita 1 wasn't fucked up for you but the other 3 with hideous robot modes is terrible.Chromia is ok but Arcee is muck and flare up(sounds like a fuckin std thats back) is taking the same mold as one of these shitbots with a new paint job.Not looking forward to her either.

Indeed her design was right.Its not fair that Bay hates a certain bot and either won't include them or fucks up fan favourites.I think the fans should have an input and be considered when it comes to designs or a characters portrayel.Bay clearly knows nothin about transformers I'd say if anyone asked him to name 20 G1 characters he couldn't or 20 bots includin other universes he couldn't . I mean how can ya hate the Dinobots thats ridiculous.*Crosses fingers and hopes Bay and his writers can't do TF3*

Hot Rod knows I dislike Hasbro lol. Transformers is their own brand and they continually fuck up somehow.Look what happened with Marvel Legends(7 inch ones) they were done excellently by Toybiz and the likenesses of the characters was fantastic,then Hasbro got the project(somehow)and now Marvel Legends are rarely seen and the quality and the looks of the figures aren't great.Smyths I noticed stopped doing Marvel Legends when Hasbro got the deal which is strange.Hasbro don't seem to consider the fans at all which includes the Marvel Legends.Don't get me wrong we do get good stuff from them but thats mainly overshadowed by Takara and their attention to detail and what not.An example is the universe and Henkeis.Hasbro did universe and Takara done the superior (in most cases)Henkeis.Even my movie Prime which is Takara made is slightly more accurate than Hasbros.

Hasbro do try to listen to what their consumers want, particularly with concern to Transformers. Thats why the do the questions submissions each quarter. This is why they're considering a Drift toy.

True but would you want Drift to take the place of say wheeljack or springer.
