  • I actually prefer the bule Arcee, because pink and white isn't quite subtle as a disquise.

  • its cool

  • i love how all the guys who review toys are such little kids at heart

  • i love this toy. i ordered it. i think this is the best arcee toy that i've ever seen. the other arcee toys i've seen i'm not really interested in. but there's something about this one that makes it special. anyway i can't wait to get her

  • Starscream x Arcee...

    Starscream x Arcee....

  • Looks good, and more female Transformers are always welcome. I like the pink one, pity that one isn't out in retail. I've ordered Transformers Prime Starscream, Arcee and Bumblebee. I hope I've made the right choice.

  • wonder if they're going to make airachnid?

  • dam ! I regret not buying her on black friday but i was on a budget. I cant find her anwaywhere because the holiday season and freaking a zillion bumblebees around. I wanna make an epic stop motion with her!

  • picked up Bumblebee, Arcee and Starscream from TRU, are Optimus and Megatron only available elsewhere? And will cliffjumper be available in retail eventually? Very happy with the figures so far, just the scaling is a bit annoying, but the detail is awesome. Btw, how'd you get a starscram with painted missiles and a red point on his head? Mine are this uncolored plastic

  • When are they coming to retail

  • @lost7spirit they are at Toys R Us

  • @stormer4567 yes but the toys r us in my area don't have any in stock.

  • Prime is short

  • Very nice looking figure, giveaway lol

  • i finally got her! she's in my toys r us

  • Nice review liked always and awesome figure I just got mine today by eBay woot

  • i wanna get her and make a stop motion!

  • I might get Takara version of Arcee

  • Comment removed

  • @whiteknyte2001 he used a sharpie i think

  • Not only those video a great, but you help me transforme Arcee. I was so stuck with her foot too stiff. I really think I will brake her somehow.

    thank you

  • FINALY!!! tf prime BB Arcee and Starscream are finaly at toys r us im getting them tomorrow

  • Her transformation reminds me of Cybertron Ransack.

  • I'm getting this toy cause she's hot toy and she still hot in the show

  • Me to

  • after viewing this, I am buy her because of her blades ^^

  • who shoud I get prime arcee r dotm arcee

  • and if you leave the blades off for one night, you will think it looks better without the blades.

  • You know, in vehicle mode, you're not suppoesed to have the blades on there so the kickstand is affective.

  • @voltjolt123 I'm sorry for any rudeness, but your opinion isn't fact.

  • The Arcee I picked up at TRU has an issue where her left arm doesn't fit into the ball joint. It keeps popping off. Hopefully I can find another that isn't so delicate.

  • hey! compared to rotf deluxes or voyagers, how short is she in scale?

  • Her nemesis isn't Starscream, it's Airachnid!

  • @longanprod They both are, they both killed a partner of hers.

  • Comment removed

  • The one thing I like about this figure and one of the only reasons I might pick up a DOTM Topspin is the fact that you can equip Arcee with some goofy weapons. Mine is sporting Sideswipes gun sword mechtech weapon and I may use the added weapons from topspin to Arcee to give her blasters since the blades are a bit big for her.

  • Great review as usual, Peaugh. So great that I actually went ahead and purchased Arcee (Loose but complete) off of an Ebay seller for $25 shipped.  Now I know these are being spotted everywhere; but the excitement to get a hold of one was just too much that I couldn't wait. Did I just make a bad move? I know I could've held off just a little longer and put the money toward something even better, like saving up for the Gokaiger Figuarts, but...

  • @peaugh

    Any thoughts on repainting Arcee's forearms to make her a little more show accurate? Considering that route for mine but have no idea what type of paint works best on this kind of plastic.

  • Big foot.......potty mouth...(im talking about Arcee...)..

  • I just found this figure at toys r us and realized her arms should have been blue instead of black.

  • @brizzle805 no they are supposed to be black get it right please

  • how do you get arcee and the rest of them you have they look awsome

  • What the? Prime looks small. Anyway, the blue RC looks great! Better than the pink version IMHO.

  • I Love Female Transformers that have a fun transformation ( Like animated Arcee and Prime Arcee ). why doesn't Hasbro produce more females? the Revenge of the fallen Bike girls was a let down because they simply sucked as a toy, it wasn't because they were female. so why don't we get more Fembots?

  • @birca04 The toy sales for them is low cause little boys don't want fembots

  • @Crazyredemu That may be true, but I would love to see How much revenue is made from Transformers Sales purchased Collectors, compared to "little boys"

  • @birca04 Lots more, tons more. I've seen their annual report, trust me it's the kids that keep it alive.

  • @Crazyredemu Interesting, and here I was thinking it was the other way around....Thanks for he info :D

  • I have a feeling Takara is going to paint this figure a lot better.

  • her missing eyebrows kind of throw the face off for me

  • My favorite character was always sound wave through out all of the transformers series but I find my self loving Arcee a lot more in TFP, I'm pretty sure it's the color scheme or character development.

  • just got this figure today and i must say i'm really impressed with it! this has been one of the figures from the prime toyline i've been waiting for and it really was worth the wait

  • cant wait till the release airachnid just cuz i love how pissed arcee is at her

  • Is it just me... or does this Prime figure suck ass!? Damn, I thought it would've been a little better looking... 0_o

  • @PyrozPlayground its just you

  • @SPMPro Ok, just making sure. lol

  • if you can please get voyager optimus prime as quick as you can.

  • That's the one toy I've been eager to see and is the one I'll definitely get.

  • nice review and awesome figure i just preorder mine bbts release by december woot woot

  • She actually stands up on her own... wow they managed to balance her well enough that she can stand... I lot of the figures like that wont. I had the Armada Hotshot figure and he didn't stand on his own. Love it... want it!

  • i read somewhere that it was going to bo released in december

  • IF YOU REVIEWED MY LITTLE PONY TOYS .... YOU WOULD MAKE ME THE HAPPIEST SUBSCRIBER EVER.

  • @Niimphy What would there be to review? the color, eyes, mark, and wings/horn/nothing is the only thing that changes. He could review all of them in one video.

  • .....so i saw 2 versions of cliffjumper.....are they replacing the previous one with the newer released one or having both and previous one just deluxe and this newer one a voyager.....

  • @TheFoxytots They're releasing the bulkier one as part of the First Edition line in regular and Terrorcon variations, then the new mold with the fake roof on his chest will be in the main release in March.

  • Lucky! I wish i could have that

  • @Peaugh Hey Peaugh, letting you know im a big fan, mind telling me how tall Arcee is?

  • @Peaugh how can I get starscream he has been my favorite one so far from every tv show movie everything when does he come out oh and when does sound wave come out

  • @Peaugh it looks kinda chubby animated prowl was kinda better do you think

  • where do u find the pictures at

  • Hey peaugh when you get all of season 1 transformers prime charcter toy can you show all transformers prime toys like you did with transformers animated ironhide like show your collection of transformers prime season characters

  • do want D:

  • Very nice review :) (I'll be watching the NYCC reviews you posted in a minute :P)

    I'm a real big fan of the TFP series, it's the only TF series I like, besides G1 of course, all the others in between just seemed to overdue everything.

    And I love Arcee, she's one of my favourite characters, although saying that, I like them all pretty much equelly, it's just one of those shows were you just can't pick one character above the rest.

    I hope they release a TFP version of Airachnid :p

  • @TheGuardianofAzarath

    What do you mean by . . ."overdue"?

  • @RagaRBM I meant "overdo" sorry :p, heh. I dunno, i guess i just didn't like the other TF series all that much, I thought Energon was ok, but the others, weren't as good as Prime IMO (apart from G1 of course, which will always be #1)

  • I'm not a huge fan of the plain black plastic on the arms, i think thats why i prefer the pink one. But she is a must have for me. Awesome review.

  • Were do u find a blue arcee

  • so when Jack rides Arcee, he's sitting on her stomach? 0_o 

  • you know...sometimes I wished Toy Story could add Transformers toys into its story plot...that would be wicked cool...do you agree?

  • Why boner?

  • @Peagh HOW DID YOU GET THAT?

  • i want soundwave he is my favorite transformer 

  • @r0kush00 BUMBLEBEE AND CLIFFJUMPER ARE THE BEST SOUNDWAVE IS MY 2 FAV DECEPTICON

  • i can already imagine my classics grimlock hitting on her

  • peaugh thery makeing a zombie cliffjumper

  • soundwave? D:

  • Pink arcee blue chromia

  • @anixben not anymore.

  • @centrella yeah i know im just saying it reminds me of the 2

  • @anixben yeah, i get it. i heard the only reason she was blue is because the creators laughed at the idea of jack riding a pink motorcycle.

  • great review.

    Arcee reminds me of kamen rider accel

  • hallaluya a ratchet figure cant f***ing wait 

  • Great looking line so far. Surprising to see that this is coming from the same company that made the dotm toys.

  • I want Both colors, this way I could have the

    Pink one as arcee and the blue one as Elita One

  • How did you get that

  • The blue one is SOOO much better than the pink one.

  • wooo i can comment again xD

  • Arcee looks pretty decent xD

  • @peaugh

    Can the shoulder pads be rotated higher up to be more show accurate?

  • Wow I just finished the ending to the season of TF Prime and I am glad it is coming back it was an awesome series already. I will more them likely get the toys for this series. I won't give any spoilers but if you have seen any of Prime you should watch.

  • you mentioned deluxe ratchet, do you know where i can find some pictures as i havent seen any yet.

  • its decided. im gonna try to pick up all the TF:P toys (or as many as i can get my hands on) now to wait *eagerly waits for a TF:P voyager Optimus review* dying to know how Voyager Prime's transformation works

  • actially the CGI model shows theback tire not rotated, resting half inside arcee's back

  • so if tfp toys wil be released in december, dotm toys will be gone???????? please reply

  • @anixben Full Prime release hits in March, when the DOTM line ins scheduled to end.

  • @peaugh damn it! my son does not have much time at target to find cyberverse shockwave

  • Awesome review!! Thanks for sharing Peaugh! Ive really enjoyed the TF's Prime Series so far! Really great cartoon!!! The figures look amazing! Im looking forward to these as well!!

  • @Djpotter20 I agree___Prime figs are gonna be stellar____waaaaaay better than most DotM figs, that's for sure! They'll be just like Animated figs, if not better!

  • You excite me every time! Amazing figure an good review!

  • thats a great figure

  • hey Peaugh do you know the official release date for the figures?

  • @Otaku2455XD Late nov/early December, I believe.

  • @peaugh Thank you. You're doing a fantastic job, keep up the good work.

  • @Otaku2455XD The first wave drops November 1.

  • in the show arcee actually had a bit of pink on head, legs, and chest

  • Started to wonder if you remembered what made you big...thanks for the review.

  • Voyager prime seems to be so show accurate they won't be able to profit from a leader edition.

  • @nypulley999 It would probably sell just on the virtue of being Optimus Prime. :P

  • are they going to make a deluxe arachnid

  • arcee should be tiny compared to optimus

  • @TheMrpurpleman10 Scale doesn't matter in toys.

  • @GodofConquests maybe not to you, but I know that there are people out there that do care about scale. Just saying.

  • @Slashercon It's pretty illogical to believe that one deluxe figure should be significantly larger than the other just for show accuracy, which is what I believe purpleman was trying to imply.

  • @GodofConquests I think he ment that they should have one in the....basic class (do they still call it that? Im a Beast Wars fan so Im use to those classifications)

  • Hey peaugh, are you going to review Prime Soundwave, Cliffjumper, and Wheeljack? I saw the pics for them at TFCon and I am very impressed.

  • I want Skyquake

  • @TFReviews7 How do you know he is getting released?

  • @MunkyDrag0n Prototype pictures has been revealed. He's going to include a sword instead of his mini-gun.

  • @MunkyDrag0n There were pics of an unpainted prototype on Seibertron and/or TFW.

  • where did you get this? I wanna buy one i cant wait

  • lucky!

  • I think in NYCC, got a better version of Optimus Prime, I think. Also can acress use an mech tech weapons? Like can it pug on to her arms and legs?

  • Nice review. When do the Prime toys hit retail?

  • @99krenger99 November 1 or December 1

  • i will totally be buying an army of drones

  • can wait until vangelus steals this one! ;)

  • i hate her feet

  • Ya it's a good figure I have the pink one

  • for a deluxe arcee looks easy to transform

  • While the Arcee Deluxe is alright, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's one of the best in the series line up thus far. Frankly, I don't think they did as good a job with her design as they could have. So many part of her look just bulked out and clunky where they should be streamlined. I understand size is a factor with design and a larger Arcee figure would look far better. Still. Also, not having her trademark "wings" and not giving her brow spear and chin guards the right color? Bit let down.

  • @RogueScholarBlue Ugh. Apologies for the typos. Was kind of fighting for writing space.

  • @RogueScholarBlue How does she not have the right color chin? Are you thinking her chin guard thing is black in the show? You would be wrong. As much as you think you might be right. It is blue. Go look better. Also she does have her "Wing" on the toy however they aren't that accurate. Those are the side panels you see on the toys shoulders. Those are the "Wings" unfortunately. So they aren't in the accurate place but they are there.

  • @HFalconYT Perhaps the video quality is not great, but, from what I've seen here and in photo stills her brow spear and two chin guards running down the sides are the same silver polymer color as her face. In the show they are somewhat pink in color, a nod to her previous color scheme in the Gen-1 Era. It's a small thing, but I none the less feel it's a fail in regards to detail. As to her Wings, if the side panels are supposed to be said wings, that's another fail.

  • @RogueScholarBlue I dunno, they look a slightly different colour to me on this vid, metallic but with a pinkish tinge, the same as the metallic stripes on her legs. It may depend on what resolution you're viewing it on etc. but there's a definite contrast.

    The wings aren't perfect but they look better here than they've appeared in pics where they just looked like arm panels.

  • @RogueScholarBlue No they are pink. And her chin is blue. It might just be that you can't see them very well. But they are. And maybe not as pink as they could be though. The wings are fail but they are still there at least. Also I don't know why they didn't put the blue arm or pink paint aps on her wrist. So yeah there is some fail. Not bad though for the first version. Just trying to let you know that some points you pointed out as complaints ARE indeed there unlike how you stated it.

  • @HFalconYT Looking back on my original post, I don't see anything all that different from how I explained my observations to you the second time. But, that's neither here nor there. Bottom-line, and I attest that these are my own viewpoints, I don't think Arcee got the attention to quality and detail that the other figures did. Again, I understand that size is a major factor in how well these Transformers figures are put together and designed, however I just feel they could have done better.

  • @RogueScholarBlue Yup they sure could have done better. It seems all the cons are getting the better looking toys for now. Like they focused more on the Robot modes then the vehicles. Seems it's harder for them to do something like a Bike I guess. I am hoping for an updated version or Arcee later on. A better one. I mean they are already doing two completely different Cliffjumper molds and what... he was in the show for like 15 minutes... lol.. Oh well.

  • @HFalconYT Not sure if it has anything to do with her vehicle mode as it does with the fact that she's a, well, "she." Despite the popularity of the character among the Transformers/Prime fanbase, Hasbro still believes that the male 'bots are more marketable. Sadly, it doesn't look like that will change and, equally sadly, I find myself torn. If I buy this figure to support the character it will send a message that I don't care for quality. If I don't buy it, less chance of better in the future.

  • @RogueScholarBlue I think you underestimate the mainstream popularity of Arcee. In the show, Jack and Arcee get way more screen-time than the other bot partnerships, I'm sure she'll be more popular than Bulkhead. Maybe not Bumblebee... just because he's Bumblebee.

  • @Strand0410 Quite the contrary, I'm more then aware of her popularity among the fanbase as I share it, in spades. Sadly it is Hasbro that doesn't appear to see her as being more marketable and, as such, worthy of greater quality in her figures over, say, Cliffjumper, who has *two* different figures due to release. As with other companies, despite what the fans say, the suits believe they know better. Result? This somewhat lackluster Arcee. I can only hope for something better in the future.

  • Comment removed

  • @RogueScholarBlue I have to disagree, I think they did a marvelous job with Arcee. There are so many ways she could have gone wrong, especially when we first saw her initial photos with terrible mistransformations. Any compromises with Arcee are not unique to her, one need only compare her to the Prime next to her in the video and see that she's actually a pretty good compromise, especially with her difficult (and cheaty) design in the show. Any bulk she has was distributed proportionally, IMO.

  • @Cmguy89 To each their own. As I've stated in other posts, these are my observations and I in no way demand that other's share them. That said, I stand by my belief that, while not the worst thing they could have produced (as seen by earlier, and terrible, concepts) it really feels like they could have done far more in designing her figure to better incorporate the transformation and hide the clunky bits (her handlebars, blades) and add greater, accurate, detail, i.e. her wings. Again, my view.

  • @RogueScholarBlue Of course, each to their own. One thing we can both hope for I guess, is that this won't be the last of the Arcee molds. :)

  • @RogueScholarBlue

    Well, its a Deluxe figure. . . gotta live with it. But they did more positive things on the figures than the negatives so yeah . . .

  • @RagaRBM Yeah, kind of aware of what it is considering the fact that I referred to it *as* the aforementioned Deluxe Figure. And that's my point. While it was not the worst thing in the world the figure is a *Deluxe* edition and, as such, deserved, I feel, a higher level of detail and quality then what it got. Again, it's not as terrible as it might have been. Hasbro has released some truly bad figures over the years and while this isn't amongst them I just feel it could have been, IMHO, more.

  • somebody please tell me these are coming out soon and when

  • @Nickster891 hmmm it should be soon but the latest i guess will be late November to early December which would be a good guess because it will be in time of the holidays

  • @NightBladeSpearichu and my birthday what i was born in november

  • @Nickster891 when?

  • @NightBladeSpearichu the 26th

  • @Nickster891 So was my mom.

  • @TFDude101 what an odd coincidence

  • @NightBladeSpearichu December 26th.

  • @starkiller391 heh she gives 2 day of presents in a row

  • Nice, better Arcee so far! I want all prime collection.

  • Great vid, i'm at Arcee.
