feels like the toy designers are silently giving a thank you to literally everyone for not making them do a bayverse toy

That description is cursed

This is a definite pickup for me. I really like her design, and the fact that she's not hauling around a camper backpack for a change is a major plus.

Hasbro loves their repaints and is entirely willing to peddle the most obscure, nobody characters to ever get a half dozen frames of screen time or a single comics panel, so maybe they'll do a new-head recolor of this one as Lickety-Split? For slightly more effort, they could add a port on each arm to let the pistols stow there as Lickety's whatever-those-grey-things-are. Her colors would make it look like a Rule 63 Afterburner, but I'm not going to complain about that ;)

I don't know if its just me, but Arcee's eyes make her face look like an owls face.

I really liked Arcee’s race in the movie because it looked so smooth for the brief moment we saw it. It was like porcelain. Also those eyes are so dead. I hope someone makes a head upgrade kit for this figure that still follows the aesthetic but just with the smooth face. Hell, I’ll paint it myself if I have to. Even the eyes. A nice bright blue for them.

We’re getting closer and closer to that prefect arcee chug figure

this what the legacy arcee should of been and the bumblebee arcee is probably the best arcee we've gotten in the last four years

I can't wait for my preorder of this to arrive, this looks SO good especially after the mess that was Earthrise Arcee. Sorry that you lost in the Q.C. lottery man.

I almost feel like bumblebee is going to be the only Autobot in the new movies that has a built-in gun, which honestly Id be all for

The potential for qc issues scares me but I still think I want to pick this up. This design for Arcee is amazing and it translated well into figure form. Plus there is a void in my collection right now since I’m stuck with Ercee…

« But it’s a toy for kids » Black archnia: 😳

Unsure if I'll pick this up. Hoping the qc isn't a widespread issue, because that'd have to be one of Hasbro's number 1 fuckups if so. Also loving how there have been more Dr. Lockdown appearances on this channel, as well as Perspective End appearances on his. You guys are both awesome, so it doesn't surprise me that much

This is my favorite Studio Series deluxe figure, not just because I'm an Arcee fanboy, but the design is so Good and has amazing articulation and has an absolutely badass motorcycle.

This is one of my favorite iterations of Arcee in recent times by far... So bad that it has a plethora of QC issues!

The aggression in “if mines arm wasn’t Fucked” was too enjoyable

I lucked out hard with this one, I got pretty good qc though those tires still don't connect for shit, but I also got it for only $10 at target because it wasn't in the system yet

This is my first Arcee figure and I love it. The backpack isn't 98% of the vehicle mode and it poses good for mainline Arcees go

Ah yes a rare instance where the like beg isn’t “please give….” But “GIMME”

In short, if it wasn't for the QC, you could say this figure is quite good. Heck, I have no problem saying (with acception to the Face) this is preaty much my favorite desighn for Arcee. Besides that, good luck hunting a replacement. And as for the question of the video... As an whole, whitch Arcee desighn you like the most and why?

Well, at the very least, now you’ll have a new Arcee for a future what’s the best Arcee. All that will be left to get is the 86 Arcee, and you can see if either the 86 or the BB Arcee can stand against the Thrilling 30 figure. But onto some pretty great news, have you seen the new images for the TransArt Transmetal Megatron? My god, he is just beautiful. Especially in dino-mode. He really feels like he jumped off the screen with the work put into this figure. You can just feel the smarmy coming off of that T-Rex head. While I always thought the Transmetal Optimus Primal was a downgrade to how he first looked (mainly for the robot mode), I found Transmetal Megatron to be an absolute upgrade. Sure I missed him having a T-Rex head for an arm, but man does he cool. That metallic purple and bronze really shine out. His robot chest looked like a prehistoric Punisher skull, and he has a much cooler head design than his season 1 version. To me, Transmetal Megatron was an upgrade to season 1 BW Megatron in the same manner of how Galvatron was an upgrade to G1 Megatron. If this figure gets away with not only looking fantastic, but also having great QC, not only will it be a chef’s kiss and a half, he’ll probably be better than the Takara season 1 MP BW Megatron.

I genuinely had to buy studio series bumbleJeep four times before I would get one that's not already broken, and is able to transform

this design would be really cool if she didn't have the nightmare face. i really like the bumblebee designs, hell i'd even love them if i didn't hate all of their faces (wheeljack, prime, and shockwave not included).

I always imagined that their faces are composed of nanite cells, not gooey liquid metal.

I've gotten her a while back and i must say, i have none of the problems you have with the figure, it's a pity, because i think that the mold really shines when it's not held back by QC issues. Only criticism i have is that she'd benefit from lightpiping.

straight up went *it doesn’t need to look like a good vehicle it just has to move*

I really like the figure of Arcee and I love the Arcee character, good video Perspectiv! Also, nice description xd

The only Arcee toy I ever had was the one from Energon. I was quite fond of that one. Good luck getting it to stand up though. It was so top heavy, especially with the cannons.

I love how she looks, hopefully I can get my hands on a copy, though I doubt it. The Bumblebee movie figures haven’t released here for some reason, other than Soundwave and the Seekers. I think between this and 86cee, Hasbro has almost redeemed themselves of releasing ERcee…twice…

So if we're talking about meat and thickness, who's thicker Shockwave or Arcee? I have a similar slight problem with the feet too, it's weird but not too weird. I also find the eyes very weird on the figure and the box art, for some reason it reminds me of baby bird eyes with blue irises. Like a black void with a blue color in the middle. The eyes looked way better in the movie. I didn't transformed my arcee yet, but damn the back of the alt mode looks like a half ass Transformation. Like they could have done better? Lastly would you do a review of the Ex 01 Nicee (Firebird arcee) or the den toys Arcee by any chance? 😆 😆 😆

Don't worry, your not alone with the smell issue. The box for my Studio Series Camaro Bumblebee smelled like someone dipped it in perfume when I found it at Walmart, and after further inspection there was a big stain on the box from what I assume was someone's perfume spilling on it. I had to leave the box in my garage for a week to get the smell out, but the figure was fine.

This was probably my most anticipated figure in the bumblebee line. Looks great, try to pick it up.

Bumblebee Arcee's pretty cool. She looks like she's wearing winged boots, the ear cups look like the typical cool ear cups (ear cups are one of my most favorite robot head features) and the kibble wings look like jet engines. But the face looks like an undead monster and it's a total dealbreaker for me. The bike mode is awesome, but kinda generic. I feel like I've seen this around a thousand times. I'd rather buy the ERcee. Cause at least the face appeals to me (I'm a huge fan of the anime art styles with big eyes. Also Arcee's lipstick makes her ugly to me) and the discounts are laughably ridiculous. This thing went to 6 bucks in some stores. How damn pathetic is that. At least Warpath's sold out in most places now, it means that people just don't want to take the risk of potentially getting a Warpath that partsforms or don't care much about him instead of being fully informed that the figure is total crap. ERcee? COMPLETE FAILURE. Tigatron didn't sell so quick because he's kinda awkward despite being far from crap. Kingdom "Rhinox", well, is a cheap ass abomination and it's so inaccurate, it's not Rhinox, it's his son or something. Wheeljack? I know this thing has not so good proportions, but it's OK. Good for the price. Should've been better though. Cyclonus is the best Kingdom figure, his face is a bit long, but this figure is too good to remain on shelves for a year, like how? ERcee outlasted every one of them including "Rhinox". Glad I started with Kingdom Warpath. Small enough to fit in any bag, big enough to be 5 mm peg compatible, best official figure of Warpath so far. My favorite Transformers character. Cause with the thunderingly extreme discounts, I almost bought ERcee. I actually want ERcee. Is 6 bucks a good price? I know the TR Triggerhappy with a reasonable price is around the corner, but I just want ERcee, not as a transforming figure. How do I get the Iron Factory Warpath? It's sold out on BBTS and I'm not sure if any other online store can ship it to Indonesia.

Idk if this would help but it may be worth dropping some dish soap on the messed up shoulder. Try to wiggle the shoulder to work in the soap. I did this for a figure nortorious for completley immovable ankles and it fixed them so I hope it works for you

Use dish soup. That will help with overly tight joints. My son had that issue with some of his figures and dish soup helped out greatly.

I had a similar problem with my BB Ratchet. The bicep swivel would not move and popped off with too much force. It magically fixed itself after a day somehow

You really get the short end of the stick in terms of QC.

This one doesn’t have an oddly human and smooth stomach like thrilling 30. This is my new definitive Arcee.

Finally, a good Arcee

Your either going to love this or hate this. No inbetween.

I don't care much about arcee but dang that's a nice alt mode

it's probably paint stuck, which suuuuucks. the only things you can do when a figure is paint stuck (paint gets into the joint and dries locking up the joint) is a freeze or a boil - either making the paint brittle enough that it breaks when you try to move the joint or soft enough to tear. either way is a gamble.

looks like a character from that animated Robots movie

finally a arcee figure that doesnt look hyper sexualized def picking this up next chance i get

if this design gets used in a series it would be so cool

Got my cat in my lap

Remember? Broken arm-cee

This is probably the best arcee since the 30th generation figure granted the face looks off to me at least but if qc isn’t wide spread then this would be a good arcee stand

4:41 come on man did you you really have to do that?

Thank all I watched this video again. My Arcee's right ankle has mold flash and won't hold without the figure atop it. That said, rewatching this showed the bottom half of the leg could move. A part of the instructions suddenly makes sense, as the joints are just a bit tight so I didn't know it existed until now. Now she can stand.

Thank you for calling out the weirdly sexualized female robots. It's just so freaking weird. Plus, making them with sexy human proportions just makes the transformation so much harder for the designers. This Arcee gives the toy makers more to work with thanks to them not trying to make her look too human. Also... You forgot size comparison again. Unless Chromia's foot being in the one shot counts.

Something I should have asked in the last video but, what do you think of planet X as a whole. I mainly know them for the figures of F.O.C designs and I loved them. I love them even more because Hasbro's looked like downscaled knockoffs. Except for the shockwave he was alright.

Well that’s just prime

Thing about liquid faces, is that theyre unnaturally disturbing, even in a universe of alien robots it just wouldn't compute well in the minds of most people watching if it ever goes live action. Im guessing it's avoided in live action movies due to the need for everything to be a little complex which is cool

I am waiting for my pre order to arrive. Oh... The QC issues... Since Hasbro started with factories in Vietnam, with lower quality plastic... All this issues started popping up. I don't blame Vietnam... I blame the choice of using crappy plastic!

The face from the side looks like a cat

The best arcee is the titans return one

Good job finding this toy! Got lucky in a store? or was it on Amazon or other online retailer? Because most sites are saying shes not coming out til the fall...

Finally managed to order one. I just hope I wont have any issues like the shoulder on this one.

Between this and the ss86 arcee idk which is better, i know you have warned about this ones qc but im in way to deep to not at least get both, at this point if a figure looks good (ie ss grindor) it has my interest, but for me, i mainly care about the robot modes, transformation and alt mode is secondsry to me, its a bonus to the robot mode

You know what I just realized? *Multiple* Bayformer Megatrons also have that camel toe. Goddammit, Bay, I know you want the Autobots to be the bad guys but come on.

2:21 actually based as hell

I think if I buy her I will get me a replacement head

Arcee is worth it

hell yeah arcee

I don't have the figure yet, but I'm excited for it. I did see the Doctor Lockdown review you referenced and he had the same issues with the wheels not pegging in. I'm hoping I don't have the arm issue you had when I get mine. This will be my second Arcee after I got the Thrilling 30 one instead of the Earcee. After the bad reviews of that figure, I found T30cee and Chromia at BBTS for $30. I did the math, a bad figure for $20 or two decent figures for $30. I'm not sure how the upcoming SS Arcee will turn out. I'm not sure they'll make the T30 better (not implying it's perfect, I just don't think they'll improve it. I can see them making some lateral changes, which don't make it better or worse, just different).

"Liquid metal faces good" reported

I want this. By hook and by crook, I will buy this. I WILL BUY THIS.

I actually got this figure and tarantulas arrive yestarday for me so pretty good timing tbh.

This is miles ahead of any other Arcee

You’re like that toy guy but with a legitimate reason to be critical sometimes.

Before you buy a new one try to put a drop of soap to the arm mushroom joint

The description is cursed to say the least I like this figure it's decently fun to pose and FINALLY a Fembot that has a somewhat decent transformation and the engineering of the fig is Pretty decent and it's a pretty good figure

Good review, I’m very conflicted on this release. I want to pick her up, but I regret every cybertronian release I get. They look so tempting, but I don’t display live action stuff. They’re like drugs, I can’t resist them. Kinda disappointed about the cancelled week of MMC, was mirage planned for it?

I had no idea how much people hated you until I looked at the transformers reddit and saw a post of your arcee face edit. In the comments I saw people getting mad about your laser prime headcannon and people saying you wanted to boink arcee

i have been wanting to comment it for a while so i was pleasantly surprised to hear you respond directly to dr lockdown. You two should do some siskel and ebert back and forth. argue about siege optimus. or potp rodimus. Make some special occasion holiday cross over videos.

Planning to get. Once my wallet recoveres from Rung and the trio.

Hm, Thiccee indeed, as The Fire Brothers has spent a couple vids analyzing whether Bumblecee or Shatter is THICCER

She is thick, it's called a vanity sizing

Well... that was an interesting rant. Ok then. I won't get this but it looks pretty good. Hope ypu hit your goal PE

Bro, when I got my legacy tarantulas (he's great btw), there was a live cockroach in his box💀 so yeah, windowless boxes suck

Mine actually did have an immovable arm. Returned it, rather than risked damaging it. Thankfully, though it wasn't in the system, I had no trouble returning it. I only buy certain movie toys, that are either well done, catch my attention, seem to have interesting engineering, or are favorite characters. I grabbed Arcee, to reward Hasbro for not making her another shellformer & getting her to look right enough, only for my usual, apparently amazing, luck with QC to run out. Better her, than a figure I _really_ want, I guess.

Yeah I think this looks pretty good I have one ordered.Completely unrelated to the video but have you seen the legacy inferno. oh dear god do I love it.in my opinion inferno is the best beast wars character dinobot being the 2nd best

I love her design she's my fave character I have her her Head on mine is loose

0:30 DONE! (Also, if my view of the page is correct (because at the time of typing these in, there are no other comments), then I'm first one here, which means I get to have all the fun*.)

Debating on buying this. One one hand, I could get Thrilling 30's with Chromia on BBTS, but this think honestly looks fun. I feel like between Dr Lockdown and your video, I am seeing the Good and the Bad of this figure and idk if I want to buy it. If I don't get SS86 or T30, Probably will grab this I also find it funny how Hasbro pushed Arcee as the 'Girl' of the transformers, yet she barely get any toys, and even fewer good ones but now that Windblade seems to be taking her stop as the main girl, she has gotten Way more releases than any other female character as of recently.

I’m sorry you got such a bad copy. Looking forward to see if your next one is better.

4:47 If you won't put plastic in the windows, don't include the windows, Hasbro.

2:07-2:20 Eh... What? 4:42 Eh... is that an OCD man thing or... something else...? This would be a great figure if not because of the QC. I like it, I hope mine didn't have the same QC problems if I get one. Anyway, great review.

What the hell are you supposed to do with the HEAD of a toy?!

i really like this design, but, i will always prefer the comic/concept of 2007 arcee (or whatever name anyone wants to give her if it hurts their NOSTALGIA), i still want this figure, but hell those quality control issues are really off putting

Core Soundwave had fold away hands. WHY are almost all girl-formers cursed with hands sticking out in alt-node no matter the class? So many deluxe figures need that little fold away joint, or something to cover the hands.

Just got mine yesterday. One of the best figures I own, the only problems are the ankles and windshield not pegging in, but those are very minor. And one of the tiny wheels doesn't roll on mine, but whatever Also, you can give her rollerblades by midtransforming her legs, I like it as a nice transition into her "oh god what the f is this RotF version"

Yours is the only copy I’ve seen with these QC issues

“Academically” is a much more fitting term for what most people mean when they say “objectively” and it somehow manages to sound less pretentious, so I hope it catches on. Intelligent diction here

What offends me about the Star Wars movies is the last 3

Wish me happy birthday tommarow

Yes I will give you all the likes

She has Megaman ankles/lower legs.

That face kinda looks like as if she rip the face off the stray cat and wore it as a mask
