2005 Board member Optibotimus316 has stopped by our Feedback section with a short pictorial review of the upcoming Robots In Disguise Revealers Arcee from Wave 2 of the Transformers Prime line. Optibotimus316 recieved the figure from Hasbrotoyshop.com. Several of these pictures offer a comparison with Arcee’s First Edition figure. Of these differences, height and color come into play.
Take a look at the images after the break and check out our Feedback forum for more reviews!

there was only one, alas. do you need one?

$5??? I'd have bought 2-3!

i wouldn't have dreamed about this to for 15 bucks, but i just got her for 4.91 and she was well worth it. i mostly got her for the gun, but it's still a cool toy.
daddytron
The lack of pink hurts but I totally like this version better than the FE. I find that one, while nice looking in some ways, is a fiddly pain in the ass with odd size and proportions.
Sideways77
Yeah, I really need a Reprolabels set for her.
I can't get over the lack of pink.

Will be picking her from Amazon. Really love the character and they toy looks great.
seekerblackout
Yeah, it's annoying trying to make her sit down because of that flap. It's one of the very few points where FE Arcee beats her. (At least I think FE Arcee did it better, from what I've seen at least)
LCDR Blindside
Yes. However, her ass-skirt also nixes her reposing posability.
Wars
I'm rather annoyed that I have yet to see this figure, or Ratchet and Vehicon as of yet. They all look fantastic. I've seen Hot Shot though, so that's a good sign I suppose.
Can't you just remove the wheel? It's only on a slide in joint, isn't it?
Ace Convoy
Bought one…
Like it
TrueNomadSkies
I've often seen it as more of a mecha part than anything, but to each their own, I guess.
Stepper
I am talking about the wing of Arcee which is similar to a Vampire's wing.

I got my RID Arcee yesterday, and I love her. Nicely simple transformation yet totally effective.
My only complaint is I would have preferred two blades and the lack of paint aps (silver or something for her exhausts etc) would have been nice. I'm hoping for a Reprolabels upgrade for her now.
Now I'm going to find an action figure that looks good riding her. Euphemism intended.
Robticon
Ah, yeah I see what you're saying. Mine has some minor stress marks around the pin in the blue plastic, too. Nothing major for my copy, but bothersome to see, to say the least.
Seems like the blue plastic they used on Arcee has some tolerance issues.
seekerblackout
Wut
Stepper
Arcee becomes a vampire for the RID version
Primus Medieval
My problem with mine are the hinges on her legs, the blue plastic. I ended up cutting some plastic to keep them from breaking. You can view the stress mark from the back.
seekerblackout
You can sure make her sit on a thin computer monitor or something because of that though. But yeah, that kinda bugs me. But with all the stuff she can do with her arms, it's easily forgiveable.
LegoTFGuy
I just noticed a major flaw on this toy- she can't sit. Her freakin' motorcycle kibble gets in the way. I mean, at least with the FE you could rotate it out of the way.
Robticon
Anyone else experiencing stress marks inside the cups of Arcee's balljointed elbows and wrists?
I got her yesterday, and just from transforming her once, her elbows and wrists have worrisome amounts of stress marks. The joints are super tight on mine, which is probably the main reason for this.
