Third party company Dr. Wu have posted up images of the color prototype of their new MS-30 Amie (Legends Scale Arcee) via their Weibo account.
Designed by Mechanic Toy and produced by Dr. Wu, this a 10 cm tall G1 Arcee for the Legends scale with an impressive range of articulation for a figure this size. She will come with a gun and rifle. Mechanic Toy Weibo have also teased that a Nightbird redeco with extra weapons is on the works.
Price and release date are yet to be announced. Check out the pics and let us know what you think after the jump!

That Prime in that video is PPL Toys PPL-01 Warrior Optimus Prime Model Kit.

As I'd said before–too tall for what I collect. But a repaint/retool as Elita-1 at this height? I'd be all over that. This does look good as a figure, so it would be nice to get at least one of them.

No, not enough lights. Looks like some Super7 style, non-transforming figure.

Definitely haven't seen it. Thanks for posting
That New Age Prime in the video?

Apologies if this has made the rounds- but is this the first video of Amie?

My understanding is that this one heavily influenced the thrilling 30 design. It might’ve actually been the same designer.

This almost feels like Newage with a G1 Arcee, Combiner Wars Arcee, Nightbird, Aleta One and now this white ninja female. Where is my Lifeline/Paradron Medic?

There will be a white repaint of Arcee inspired by Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe.
Found on showz.

It's a good be legend + collector
JD
is that face going to be used for the MP Arcee Face as well?
Also is the MP Arcee face gong to be packaged with all copies of Amie or only as a limited run?
I haven't been following all the news regarding this, but I'd definitely interested

Good call there remembering Beta

Heck, why not throw in Alana

Her alt mode is a bit out there, I admit

Oh look, the animators were playing that game where they sneak in upping a female character several cups sizes for one shot (I'm sure they did this on G. I Joe RAH)

am i the only one here not feeling wu's arcee? to me it just looks a little too off in many ways.
i feel like MS or NA will make a much better interpretation of this fig. but that is whenever they get around to her/him.
Mad Prime
We all would but it's just to easy to just recolor Arcee with hopefully a new head sculpt.
The Autobot fembots in the cartoon all had the same core female body with different accessoires on them. If i recall correctly, Netflix's The Toys That Made Us, Barby and the She-Ra female figures all had the same core bodies with different accessoires. So using one body, in this case Arcee, isn't that weird. The problem arises with their alt modes which can't be pulled from their bodies without giving them a big backpack which in the cartoon they didn't have. Arcee is the only fembot in the cartoon that had two little backpacks, which for a toy is still to small.
I'm not against a detachable backpack which would make the transformation possible. Shell formers is in my opinion the only way they can pull of the alt modes of the Autobot fembots.
But my preference would be, for the G1 Autobot fembots, a non transforming legend scale that goes well with Newage or MST Optimus Prime articulated figure.
Not saying that they shouldn't make like a Chromia that turns into a bike, like in the IDW comics, or a Swift (the Decepticons need some female representation too)
but for me on my list of female Transformers the G1 ones are on top of my list (Elita One, Chromia, Firestar, Greenlight, Lancer, Moonracer, Beta and Nightbird).

Yeah I'd rather have an original mold over a lazy arcee remold.
@l3x
Nice. Though with Elita-1 becoming a more prominent character I'd like to start seeing more unique molds for her and less retools. Curious how much they’ll modify the vehicle mode from Arcee’s.

I ordered the pink one from BBTS and the black one from ShowZ. Figured it made sense because half of my legends stuff is MFT +scale anyway.
Mad Prime
She'll fit nice with Mechanic Toys Springer (v2 version, MS-29 Falcon) for those pictures of them in a loving pose

I'm gonna get this figure, but it's a bummer it will be one for the Legends+ display (which is still very sparse and minor, compared to my main Legends collection). DX-9 Arcee won't go anywhere for quite some time, apparently.
IronMachine
She's beautiful its proportions are excellent and will soon get the perfect face. Backpack spoils her look but I don't mind, the only thing that bothers me is that it's her size 9.8cm. Ideal size for female bots for my collection it would be 9cm like POTP Slash … View attachment 29515072
