I don't really like these hip new reboot shows of classic cartoons. 'The Batman' springs to mind. It was alright, but didn't really deliver in terms of new ideas. It was just an excuse to get new toys out.
Which is not, in this case, a bad thing. One 'Arcee', please.
Arcane replied to DoctorSmashy:
I think TF:A was a pretty intelligent and thoughtful redesign of the story. It detailed a lot of complexities about Autobot society and made the Decepticons a lot scarier than they were originally, plus there's a better symbiosis with the humans they protect on Earth.
soj replied to Arcane:
I want to see it for the sake of TF completeness, but I just can't bear to watch 42 episodes of those character designs. Eeeeuuchh, the chins!
James replied to soj:
yeah, but the worst chin (Sentinel) was made to look like the Tick 'cause the same dude does his voice
Enigma_2099 replied to Arcane:
... with some of the worst looking Transformers animation we've ever got.
bruce replied to Enigma_2099:
Worse then armada?
Enigma_2099 replied to bruce:
I said some of... not THE WORST. They're on the same shelf.
Bill said:
Huh, about time Hasblo! 26 years to get a toy out...is that a new record?
LBD "Nytetrayn" replied to Bill:
Surpassing the previous record set by Unicron?

I'm not a big fan of that animation style but I do like some of the toys, I'll be picking this one up. On a related note, kind of, Big Lob is finally coming out next year, released by the GI Joe club. Why did it take them so long to get around to these two?
JOE said:
I'd rather get that Acree cosplayer from a few weeks back but I'll take what I can get (Geeze, I need help).
@Zombies8myBalls
For some reason I always had the impression that Big Lob was a last minute replacement for The Fridge in the G. I. Joe movie. I'm probably wrong, but it just makes too much sense that they would want to try to push that figure in the film and then get hit by common sense at the last minute.
By the time the Joe movie had come out, the whole Fridge thing had passed the pop cultre trends by.
On the other hand, there was the time that Rocky joined the Joe team... for one misprinted page in a Marvel guidebook.
Doublas M2 replied to Geoff:
The page was not actually misprinted, that was just the story Marvel gave to readers later on. Rocky was meant to be a Joe, but the deal fell through (because of a competitor's Rambo toy line, if I recall correctly).
Zombies8myBalls replied to Doublas M2:
Yeah my brother had the Rambo toys, didn't like them then, think they look even worse now. Stallone should have gone with Hasbro.

I'm definitely going to buy her, just so she can get sexy with Blackarachnia.
Patrick said:
You just referred to a giant robot as a "sultry siren".
I'm beginning to wonder if you're not in fact the author all of the Fan Fiction Friday articles that you've ever posted.
Kevin said:
Love it, just wish she wasn't a store exclusive. They can be hard to track down for a reasonable price.
operations replied to Kevin:
No kidding. Added difficulty, nearest Toys'R'Us is 2 counties away.
Geoff said:
Holy crap, it actually showed up. I thought the Animated line - which disappeared with some very cool stuff like this still in the pipeline - was over and done with.

Three more that need some toy love:
Orion Pax (Optimus before his 1st resurrection)
Alpha Trion (not the bullshit repackaging of vector prime with new paint)
Alita One (The original TF fembot)
demoncat said:
given the toy companies view that woman do not work as figures or toys not to mention that it only took hasbro over 20 years to finaly give Arcee some loving though doubtful it will be the start of any of the other female autobots who showed up in the orginal cartoon and at least she is not a head master with danniel

After the complete and total fail that was the movie Arcee design, anything would look good to me.
Although I do like that toy...I just may buy it...
NorthSteve said:
Christ, over the past year i'd first heard she was canceled, then when TFA died i thought we'd never see her! Now she's a Toys R Us exclusive? Son of a bitch.
Well, i guess a two hour drive south for an $11 toy is still worth it to own an actual Arcee.
...does it make less pathetic that i've literaly been waiting my ENTIRE LIFE for this toy? ('88-'09)
Necronomic Recovery said:
Cannot wait to get this toy!! Hope she's released in the UK.
