The chest probably is just fine where it is. Its that angle "shelf" of the top of the chest, the neck, and her shoulders looks wrong due to the exposed "clavicle" area. The joint on her neck also looks off. All of this would seem to be solved with using that joint to bring the chest up. I really think that was intention from the start and something in the design phase made them change it. I have more Arcees than any character, (I have the Toyworld), but I passed on this. If a KO or upgrade kit fixes the chest issues I might pick it up. But otherwise its a hard pass.
It looks like they designed the chest to be low to accommodate the butterfly joint as seen in the video, the arms go over the top of the chest area. I would sacrifice the butterfly joint to make the chest a little higher, but they're obsessed with butterfly joints now a days.
I would do the same
Big guy, one thing I liked about the original transformers they were more simpler and easy to change. They can still can make them like that today. There is no stinking reason why the companies can not make them like that today and still make them look good as they do. From the sledgemaster
This is the first G1 MP I haven't bought on release, they could have totally fixed that chest. The vehicle mode looks awesome though.
Agreed
I don't think she necessarily needs a chest replacement from a 3rd party but just a piece that snaps on the front that basically extends the chest upward, covering part of her clavicle while at the same time making her chest more of a gradual slope rather than like a shelf that juts out.
Sounds good to me, lol
Hey big guy this is sledgemaster. Beautiful car (RC) yes beautiful interior. Nice color and smooth.
I like the way she looks 👍🏿She is a robot, not a human woman it's not that serious lol
But that doesn't matter. If she looked human in the show then I want that figure to look like that!
Laughable.
Nice review. It really seems to check all the boxes for me except for sculpt when it comes to how recessed the shoulders are compared to the rest of the chest.
Yup, that sums it up lol
Finally! Been a while since we got an MP
@@TMReviews ?
The other name that was here was a fake account my nephew made, he deleted the comments
@@TMReviews Ohhh, ok. Makes sense
Your comments about the fragile areas to be wary of don’t fill me with confidence for MP Starscream...
Also, your Phoenix review was just VERY helpful, with regards to unboxing, thank you!
Thanks for watching, I am being overly cautious but I will say it hasn't broken after 4 transformations, just making sure people don't overdo it, glad my Phoenix review helped
I'm doing heavy squatting today weights and I'm taking a break to watch ur video before my next set. I'm a world champion powerlifting and weightlifter and personal trainer and I've collecting for going on 33 years
if they release the KO.. I could see getting that mold for the alt mode only.. and Rouge for bot.. but even for KO..its a maybe
Big guy I'm going to get my next set before my legs get to cold. You video is almost over and I can not wait to see ur next one. You do a fantastic and professional job as always. Take and be happy today god bless u all
I’m glad I went with FT Rouge
I did end up picking this figure up, and finally transformed it today. It will be going back to alt mode for a display with MP Hot Rod, who is also relegated to alt mode, because the proportions are off, and the backpack is quite distracting. There are certainly things I like about it, but I still think Rouge looks better on the shelf. Again, thanks for the review. The transformation was a big help.
I did the same thing lol, thanks for watching
I reckon rather than cheat higher, they should have just made her collar lower/neck shorter, then the proportions would have been fine. Still can’t get over the fact that no-one at Takara said to the design team “that doesn’t look right guys”. Great review anyway!
Thanks
Great review, and looks worth the purchase robot maybe off but overall looks good. Thank you for the review. 👍🏽
Thanks for watching
Great review of MP-51 Arcee TMReviews! Keep up the good work.
Great review! She's an Awesome figure! Both modes look great! The chest in my opinion is something I can overlook. Can't wait to receive mine!
Thanks for watching, have fun.
We need an MP-51+ G1 Arcee where she is based on the unreleased G1 toy version of herself.
Such a complex transformation for what is in the end a complete shell former, it's like were trying so bad to make her over engineered. They could have compacted that backpack more with much less steps
The chest sits too low, and her face is thin and long, this figure is a 'no' from me, dawg.
Ya her look is definitely not for everyone
Isn’t that how you like your women? Haha
I'm going to have to agree with Kenneth. This figure looks horrible, and Hasbro had lots of time to get this right.
@@theintangiblecog5157 *Takara
@@TheBatman39 Hasbro. They own Takara now, so the failure doesn't fall squarely on Takara. Personally I doen't think Takara would have okay'd release of this... thing, hadn't it been for Hasbro's greed. lol
I can't unsee the weird torso and chest positioning. Gahhhh. I'm happy with my Azelea, even though her lower legs are odd looking, you don't notice after posing her.
Azalea is a good option
Great video and I was able to follow along really well. I really like her!
Thanks man
@@TMReviews could you imagine if we didn’t have 3rd party and all we got was one or two G1’s a year by Takara??? I’d think we’d all call it quits. 😂 these guys just don’t put out enough to keep us hanging on, I’m glad we have other companies to look forward to.
@@Dokken1975 yup lol
I hope they do a Transformers R.E.D. MP scale line. That would be perfect for characters like Arcee and Megatron who I don't think need to transform.
True, no problem with backpack then
WOW More likely to Get it For Vehicle Mode and Keep Azalea in Robot Mode.
That's probably what I'm going to do except with Rouge
Man I really should get her!
Still available from toydojo.com
Ordered mine from Hasbro Pulse😊.... I think the chest position is not that bad. I think they should of designed the collar a little better and not make it so long, put a little more pink to create an illusion of how far down the chest is. Great review 😎
Thanks for watching
Hmmm..... no cybertronian bra could save that...... sigh
Lol
I really like the alt mode, but it is hard to pay more for this figure then my FTs, to have an alt mode version. I wouldn't mind having it next to my MP Hot Rod (who has been moved to an alt mode display since I purchased the Fans Toys version) in alt mode, with some Junkions.. If this figure was around $90 it would be easier to pull the trigger. It is nice to see some paint. The MP-49 Nemesis Prime has very little paint, and the joint MPM projects are notoriously bad for lacking paint.
It doesn't look like it is a bad figure. It actually looks quite well built, but those proportions, and small size, are hard to get past. It is nice to get some more blast effects.
Thank-you for the review TM. I always value your opinion. Still haven't decided if I will pull the trigger on her.
Ya the look of bot mode is definitely not for everyone. I buy every MP regardless, but most people only need one Arcee in their collection
@@TMReviews, I will most likely end up picking this up, I just know I will hate myself a bit for paying so much to basically keep her in alt mode. Thanks for the advanced look at it though.
Best looking Car mode of all the available options but i will stick with MMC Azalea
It’s Grandma Arcee.
Nice review and I was on the fence with getting this figure because I already have FT Rouge but after seeing this I’m most likely gonna buy her. Can’t wait for the comparison with FT Rouge. Weird thing is that Takara designed Arcee to have a peg hole on her bottom center 🤦🏻♂️
On the bottom of rc as car mode they should put a thin fake bottom to hide rc. Can u pass that information on the company. I believe that would be a good ideal
If you do the comparison video, please do include the MMC version as well!
Waiting on it to come
I think earthrise got the chest just right, this one leaves too much negative space but I'm sure it has to do with clearance issues in alt mode or something otherwise a very solid fig. Got mine in yesterday.😁
Ya there is definitely something off about the chest, but a lot of other good stuff in there
ALREADY!!!! Dude is on a roll.
Thanks man
The ultimate evolution of shell-former.
I hate that low and narrow chest. The shelf should be continuous with those two little pink pieces with the pinholes that are right next to the white collar. Instead we have this ugly bend between the shelf and those little side pieces. And they are all separate pieces too.
But this is still the best Arcee sculpt IMO. The alt mode is perfect. I don't even miss the FT finish.
I will wait for a KO, though. Not paying this price for this little product. Not that big of a fan of the character either.
The whole faux wheel behind the knee is really odd... It's like they saw FT's Rouge and thought it was a cool idea but didn't actually put the wheel there... And I haven't found any screens of her from the G1 series where she has anything behind her knee like that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely keen on Rouge's knee. While I do love the wheel being part of it I wish they'd given her pink wheels so it doesn't look quite so odd having the black when bending.
dang a MP as a shellformer...naw pass....only thing good is no extra part for the back..
Too many delicate parts like you mentioned in the transformation. She's got one whomping backpack, the chest is just weird. I thought the hips would go out really far ,but they don't. For me the mmc is better proportioned and has a cleaner look with better poseability. Great review tho and happy new years brotha!
That chest design ruins it. Maybe a 3rd party can come up with a way to fix
They already did, it’s called Fanstoys Rouge
@@Superdimensional sadly Rouge is quite trash as an action figure, but for display is definitely better than this mp
"Shelf" - that's exactly what the issue is. it's really flat angle there.
thanks for watching, ya i hope we get an option to replace it.
This arrived today from eBay, the feedback I left "Thanks, I hate it"
Lol
Same here... her chest could have been modified... I’m going to wait for an upgrade now..
Same
Other than her chest seemingly a bit too low, the rest of her looks great, my biggest concern though is the figure's quality. Given that she just came out, will we see possible cracking/breakage like we got with MP Hound?
Doesn't seem like it. But you never know
When you do the comparison video, please try to get the ToyWorld/ Zeta version too.
Unfortunately I won't have that one, only MMC and Fans Toys
@@TMReviews - Gotcha. I thought you borrowed some from friends occasionally. Not a problem though. Those are still the best 3 to choose from.
@@TMReviews I suppose you don't have the BigFireBird Nicee either? I have all the 3rd party MP Arcees (Zeta, MMC, FT, BFB Nicee), and just paid for the HLJ MP-51, but haven't shipped it yet.
Nah I didn't get nicee, heard good things from Tman, I stick with G1 mostly
I like this figure but the chest is a big turn off but she has a really nice alt mode and she is a lot warmer looking than the mature looking rouge which I need try and pick up, I'll probably pick her up at some point
Rouge has no waist articulation or ab crunch @
@@petergianakopoulos4926 dont care about articulation
You think they will make a KO version? Her chest is the only thing that bugs me lol
They always make a KO, but recently they have been pretty bad quality.
@@TMReviews KOs always were pretty bad quality, with the rare exception, like IT Megatron
I don't know? ..I mean this is one of those figures that really has to grow on you. When I first saw it, I was like yeah! She's definitely miss transformed. Than I was like wow!! That's how it really is and I what can you do! Imo she looks good in poses! And not in that A straight forward stance. The face sculpt is fantastic! I just can't see myself paying $150, especially when the mmc is like $95. As always great video review TMR. 👍🌟
I hear ya
How is it that some people have this toy and it doesn’t come out until January lol
Amazon japan
@@TMReviews how do I access their site just type it in like normal?
Here is the link, but you will need an Amazon japan account and a payment method they accept. www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B088CBY6R9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_CMD7Fb3DAE3J3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The plastic seems way much better than Hound
It is better than hound for sure
the mp hot rod does have small thighs 🤣 i think arcee's looks nice and curvy
Thanks for watching
hilarious with the hips. Takara you are going backwards in technology.
Odd choice
No matter how you try to justify it, it's still unappealing. Her low hanging racks I mean. Try to hide them, but my brain tells me it's still there. I just can win:)
Yup, there is no hiding the chest lol
It may be just an illusion? Lmaoo!!
chest looks like it has an inner tube around it
Lol sad but true
Hot mama!
Looks fantastic. Takara is King.
If it wasn't for that saggy chest i wouldve bitten
I hear ya
Great review, but the figure is poo.🙃😆
Lol
It's Just like earthrise Just super highpriced with more folding on the backpack which actually does nothing to make it smaller😂 plus the face is really bad, eyes are too big and Not cartoon accurate and the chest is awful and Not cartoon accurate. and the backpack is Not cartoon accurate.
This MP looks horrible. An oxymoron to the term masterpiece. There's no excuse for Hasbro; they had lots of time to get this right. Even 3rd party competitors with less time, and resources did a far better job. Hard pass this time. Make no mistake, 3rd party versions have their own issues, but good god Hasbro. What were you thinking?
Ya, it's got a very polarizing look for sure
@@TMReviews I understand there will always be differing opinions on a given subject matter. And my opinion on the looks of this is subjuctive. But objectively, there wouldn't be as visible a division between transformers enthusiasts over this figure if Hasbro hadn't released it, looking quite like this. Though it may not be proof, it is evidentiary, that there is something objectively amiss with this figure to cause such hard polarization.
Agreed, I'm hoping for a 3p chest plate and maybe even face plates
@@TMReviews Might work. But then you're throwing good money after bad. When all is said and done then, wouldn't it be cheaper to just have bought a better version of this character?
I'm not sure there is one, they all have different issues, FT transformation and car mode isn't great, MMC is kinda small and a little wierd in bot mode, they all make sacrifices, nice to have choices tho
takara stopped being a good transformers designer a long time ago unfortunately
