The question is simple. Which would you rather buy at the same price point? The G1 is just a fan-made custom, but assume for a second, the custom were mass produced & had the same high quality paint & same quality injection molded plastic, as any officially released Hasbro/Takara product:

 

or

 

I would need to see the alt-mode of the Bot Con '98 Arcee before voting.

^ Wasn't that the TM2 Black Arachnia mold?

 

I'd take both, quite honestly. I've always liked Arcee.

:animated ?

Definetely the fan made one. I never buy fan made product, but I'd much prefer that over the animated version. Not a fan of the animated line at all here.

But when the show looks as lazily done as Animated, cartoon accuracy isn't something to be proud of.

 

:rock :drum :hbang :hbang :notworthy :woot :cop :bounce :pfx :rofl :uown:

 

I mean it's like come on. I've been waiting 20 years for a G1 Arcee, & is this the best Hasbro has to offer me?

 

 

I can't stand SD, hence y I don't like 99% of da g1 robot heros. TFA is good attempt @ g1, trust me I sat down & gave it a try! I watched every single ep. of season 1 & 2, but I just couldn't get into it. I don't like the voice acting, writing, storylines(they're way too kiddie), where as I can sit for hours watching old episodes of g1. Granted, g1 did have some bad stories & bad art to at times, but most of it was good until they got to the head masters, target masters, or anything masters. The thing that bothers me the most about Animated is how super deformed they look. No human is built like that. The proportions look terrible, everything has exaggeratedly tiny wastes & big everything else, etc. Look at arcee. Her torso is a little short, but acceptable, but once you get below her waist, did some one attach midget legs to her? From what I remember, Arcee had long slender human proportioned legs & sexy looking hips, wtf happened? :tfhuh She now has no hips & clunky lowere legs! & hasbro has been f--kn up a lot lately with colors, why is her abdominal area brown & top of her legs brown? Why does her shoulders not look like shoulders, but instead looks like a place where I should insert a flat head screw driver? Why should we be subjected to seeing holes in her upper thighs in robot mode? Shouldn't robotic designs get better after 25 years of being in this business? :wtf & wus wit the helmet wit da chin strap? Is she about to go pilot a Valkarie or something? She's a friggin race car for Christ's sake! She never had no g-d dam Fighter plane helmet with goggles, she had eyes!! :yay If she saw how ugly her new incarnation is, even she wudn't even buy herself! :rofl Give us the Arcee we want!! :thumb

 

 

 

I know the flaming is coming, bring it!! :run

I'd prefer the cancelled Titanium version (you know, the one revealed along with shockwave, WWI Bumblebee and Cosmos

i don't remember that one... got any pics. the links i used to view those have changed...

 

i love my alternators version

First off, that's a lot of assumption. Secondly, I'd never buy a custom over the real thing.

At a modern deluxe price point, I'd gladly buy both.
