well the only reason I'm posting here is because i see a fellow fan get some respect for a rather complex and hard project. I like to see people do well and when things like this happen it should be shared. I could care less if hasbro ever makes an accurate Arcee (sorry arceeproto) but this was very nice to see as a transformer fan. A lot of people don't read toy shop so now you all can at least read the article.

 

leagl stuff I'm supposed to say (yep i actualy have permission from the company to do this, thay are very nice and awesome folks):

 

www.toyshopmag.com (check it out) all is copyright to them, photos, words, etc.

 

Toy Shop #390, pages 76, 77 article by Mark Bellomo (that should be all of that)

also check out that issue for a 4 page article on the 1986 movie transformers and toys.

And with that ladies and gentlemen, I bid you Good Night!

jeeze is this thread still going? There is not enough interest in Arcee. Everyone knows that good fembots are boring, and that Female Fembots are where it's at. Look at Gobots Crasher was Awesomely evil, where as Pathfinder just plain sucked ass. It's a fact of life dude, Black Arachnia was great until she turned good. Thunderblast was phenomenal, where as Overdrive sucked.

I think it's mainly down to lazy writing. It's so much easier to write a "muahaha" character than a good guy who isn't goodie-goodie.

That Good Girl = Lame / Bad Girl = Teh Awesome dichotomy existed across all 80s properties. Except maybe GI Joe. Scarlett and Lady Jaye were cool, but they did kinda pale in comparison to the Baroness.

 

Gloria Baker :boo vs. Vanessa Warfield :drool

Teela :boo vs. Evil Lyn :drool

I never watched GI Joe, but I do know that Arcee had all the character depth of like a Sharkticon or something. (not that Springer was any better)

the Misfits were cooler than Jem and the Holograms...

But I still want an Arcee

I'd rather have a Soundwave Classics than an Arcee. I'd actually wish they'd stick strictly to pre-movie characters.

 

An arcee would be fine, depending on how they do it, but it's a total meh for me otherwise, especially if it's not a basic/scout.

Why does Arcee need to be a Basic/Scout? She's not that tiny or anything.

 

 

Sorry, but there are TFTM/Post-TFTM characters I really want in Classics:

Kup, Cyclonus, Springer, Wreck-Gar, and a few others.

So I hope we at least get 2-3 more TFTM characters before Classics' death.

Hey

 

Stop telling people what they should want. There is no Classics Soundwave, which you know would be quite different from G1 Soundwave or that Titanium thing they're making.

Would you be offended if I started a petition to stop the promotion of RSP's Fembot? Just wondering.
