The Arcee Toy You’ve Been Waiting For Since 1986

?Well, not perfectly. But this Transformers Animated Arcee is as close as Hasbro has come in 20+ years of Transformers toys to making an actual figure that at all resembles the sultry siren of the original movie. Her vehicle mode approximates her future car-looking mode, her robot mode is very close assuming the toy at all looks like the art on the packaging, and she’s pink and white in most of the right places. Could be worse, and I don’t believe there’s anything better. Note the Toys “R” Us exclusive sticker; that’s where you’ll find her, and soon according to 16bit.com. (Via The Arker)
