Product Description

From the Manufacturer

ARCEE is a born hunter. Before joining the AUTOBOTS, she passed her time tracking turbofoxes on CYBERTRON with some of the other speedsters, taking great pride in approaching as close as she could to them, quickly and silently, before tagging them with her bow. She’s brought those skills with her to Earth, where she passes the days stalking unsuspecting DECEPTICONS until she draws close enough to strike. Convert this AUTOBOT figure from she-robot mode to motorcycle mode and back again! It features a converting crossbow with a firing projectile in robot mode!

4.0 out of 5 stars Still Not A Car, But A Step Or Two Above "Energon"..., July 11, 2007

Ah, Arcee. One of the Transformer brand's most controversial characters. Despite her potential to be one of the Autobot's greatest warriors - as referenced in the Tech Specs of the five toys of her that exist (the 2001 Botcon exclusive, the Heroes of Cybertron minifigure, the Energon figure, the Scout-class Movie figure, and this one) - fan outcry prevented this fair lady from making her live-action big-screen debut with the other Autobots this summer, getting her so far as the concept art stage. However, that planned design hasn't gone to waste: this movie-styled Arcee makes an appearance in IDW's Movie Prequel comic, and now, despite a mysteriously-blue retread of the Energon mold in the Scout class, we're finally getting a Deluxe-class Arcee figure from a totally new mold based on that unused character model.
Of the movie figures I own thus far - and that entails pretty much the entire robot cast - Arcee has proven to be one of the simplest to transform and most durable of the bunch. Her transformation actually isn't too much removed from her Energon counterpart - this one even has a component of the bike that pops off to become her weapon, which, again, here is a crossbow. Also, this version of the character has a lot more purplish-pink going on, making her color scheme a bit more consistent with her G1 namesake. About the only thing that's likely to make TF aficionados frown in bewilderment is Arcee's face - like all the other Movie TFs, she's got a kisser only her creator could love. Still, I doubt the TFs would have come to Earth looking for romance (at least in most cases). The bike mode isn't too shabby either, and in another feature that distinguishes this figure from the rest of the Deluxe size class, Arcee's alt-mode is about the right size for most 3 3/4" action figures - so Arcee's the perfect transportation when you need Scarlett to maneuver her way through HISS Tanks or if you finally want to see Aayla escape the Clone Troopers.
In the final analysis, I found Deluxe Movie Arcee to be one of the more enjoyable figures in the TF Movie line, and hopefully we'll get a chance to see her shine in a sequel.

This review is from: Transformers Movie Deluxe Arcee (Toy)

This remake of an Autobot favourite was quite surprise for me! I wasn't actually aware that there was a movie deluxe Arcee until I saw it sitting there on a storeshelf - I picked it up straightaway and am in no way dissappointed.

Overall, the figure is very pleasing - the vehicle mode is excellent. I'm no motorcycle person, but I suspect the makers have essentially taken most design cues from Yamaha's YZF-R1, which is a beautiful bike in real-life, although Arcee's model number (RC 1300) suggests that she has an even bigger displacement than the R1's massive 998cc!

Perhaps the most impressive aspect in this figure is the way that they've managed to transform an obviously feminine robot into a very seamless vehicle. The rear-wheel splitting is an especially sweet part of the entire transformation, and the rest of the bits fold in very nicely together. The crossbow bolt fitting onto the side as the exhaust pipe and the little stand on the opposite side are a couple of very nice detail touches. A pity that the face could certainly have been done better.

All in all, Arcee is one of my favourites of the movie line-up toys, and certainly excellent value for money. Needless to say, I think this range is aimed less at children and more towards and adult audience, and as such is engineered for poseability and aesthetics rather than durability.

This review is from: Transformers Movie Deluxe Arcee (Toy)

Arcee is one of the best!I have the ROTF Arcee as well and this version is the better of the two.This arcee is more close to how she is in the G1 series with a different vehicle mode and upgraded look.I like Arcee better with actual legs and feet personally for the robot mode over the wheels as feet in the ROTF version.This version is made better also with Arcee having great detail in motorcycle or robot mode.She has outstanding articulation in the legs,arms,chest,and an actual female looking head piece.The motorcycle mode has a dark pink color with a silver autobot symbol on the back.The RC 1100 on the side and stiletto heels are a nice touch as well..Arcee comes with a converting crossbow that has a firing projectile for taking out decepticons from a distance.The other thing that is great about this version compared to the ROTF version is that Arcee actually looks like a female.The poseability is awesome with very secure joints for battle poses or when you want to display this gem somewhere.The durability is excellent as well with Arcee being very solid all around to be able to handle any situation.The transformation level is advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is mid-level difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you will probably have to help some in the process.Honestly Arcee is a very versatile transformer with a very managable transformation that can be learned with some practice.I love this version of Arcee as much as G1 version.Arcee has always been a favorite and it is awesome to see this female hero get a great figure for a new millenium.Bottom line Arcee is a well-made,high quality,10 out of 10 transformer all fans should treasure.I highly recommend Arcee to all transformer fans and collectors alike.Arcee Rocks and Transformers Rule!!!
