Ever since I got back into collecting, the 2007 movie concept art Arcee's been my go-to favorite transformer figure. Everything about her just works for me, with an alt mode and a robot that both look like they sprang out of the movie universe. It also helps that the automorph was located on her weapon, so she pretty much gave me the right primer to get back into transforming figures. As for Cyberverse, I have that one too. While I really wanted to like it, it just didn't work out, with the orange sun bleaching on it looking like earwax at points, and the hinge connecting the rear wheels to her backpack being half-broken ruining any chances of my wanting to transform her ever again
That 2007 Arcee is such a great little toy, I need to track it down again! I loved playing with a copy that my friend had when we were younger. And yeah, Cyberverse Arcee has a lot of issue that I get could annoy people, it just resonates with me.
Your extremely passionate breakdown of Cyberverse Deluxe Arcee and her references to the character's toy history is making me want one. Luckily, she's not hard to find cheap. Fun fact: The Cyberverse Deluxes were called Action Masters in Japan. So you've technically got an Action Master Arcee there.
Cyberverse Deluxe Arcee is such a win. The depiction in the show was fantastic and the toy turned out amazingly. The yellowing does stink, if you don’t want it that way but as a toy she wins
2:55 Um, Skybound Arcee design is pencil thin (as is Elita-1) and practically identical to her G1 design. Don’t know what you’re talking about here. Same goes for Prime Arcee and modern Cyberverse (TH-cam) Arcee for that matter. She’s still wearing a bikini in every design too.
I think this was ambiguous wording on my part. I was speaking more of a visual weight and depth. Skybound in particular makes such heavy use of panel lining, black as an accent color, and shadows to make Arcee more visually interesting to me. What I was saying about the G1 cartoon was Arcee’s pastels and general bright palette made her less appealing to me nowadays, and that’s why I honestly prefer Thrilling 30 Arcee over 86. Only issue there is that Thrilling 30 Arcee was broken in the move and I haven’t replaced her in time for this video.
Well you wish has come true with that Prototype Arcee! If you didn't know already, it was recently reveal that they try trying to remake that prototype Arcee with modern articulation via the Missing Link subline!
I'd personally give TR Arcee 1st position because it does the best job of having a proper transformation and the extra bulk in robot mode gives her an armored look.Cyberverse is a nice figure dispite her limiations and Bumblebee Arcee was another interesting take. I'd still love Hasbro to have a go at a leaderclass G1ish Arcee and try to minimise the panel forming (especially thin pannels) as much as possible)
In all honesty, Titans Return Arcee probably would top this list of I had filmed it today instead of last week. I was just worried about new toy bias, but she really is an awesome figure.
Hey man, you've got your bee movie Arcee mistransformed. You've got the calves clicked in, and perhaps need to roll the wheels around to the grooves that lock them in place? Can't tell about the latter, but the former is HUGE for her stability. Unclick them joints, and she'll stand right up for ya. They only click into place in the alt mode. Try it, you'll be like "well, ok yeah! Durr." but don't beat yaself up over it, it sure does seem counter-intuitive to leave them loose, but is "correct" and will help her stand. She's also my favorite live action design. I love a beautiful woman, with some curves lol.
Thank you so much for letting me know, I’ll get those legs figured out at the new place! She really is a great design, I’m happy that Hasbro is finally starting to bulk Arcee out in toy form.
Honestly, I’d like for them to do for Arcee what they did with Hot Rod. Give her a deluxe plus as the voyager price point and really fill out the figure and transformation scheme.
I love the 2007 toy, but don’t own it. I don’t really have an option on the original ROTF Arcee, but Chromia was a childhood toy for me and I love her. As for the Studio Seeues ROTF, I think they’re fine but are way too simple.
I think the legacy elita one could work as a new arcee figure if you just retool some parts and swap the head from elita one to arcee and you can just call it, Transformers Legacy Deluxe Class Earthspark Universe Arcee.
There hasnt been A Solid mainline arcee that ive wanted with a few exceptions but the i-gear delicate warrior figure which i have is the best g1 arcee in my opinion i did a review on my channel great review!
By the time the Mastepiece was out, I already had Azaela. I just figured that I already have a Masterpiece-alike Arcee I enjoy, and the Masterpiece proper just wasn’t pulling me in.
I think the Earthrise version is a great figure and don't mind the parts-forming to make her look better. It's like you said, she was never meant to have a figure and the cartoon design reflects that and all these companies keep trying to engineer one without being a parts-former and the results are often mixed. For Masterpiece, I think the Ocular Max version is still the best of a G1 Arcee.
That’s a good point about Earthrise Arcee. It amazes me they never gave her a RED figure, seeing as how it would have been a great excuse to not even bother with the vehicle mode.
seen a few bad reviews of the titans return mould complaining that she is too blocky. I also love this figure it's one or the few car Arcee that is not a shell former. The headmaster is also a big deal for me as back in the days of vhs I had little choice but to watch the rebirth and key to vector sigma on repeat.
I don’t get the hate for TR Arcee. Even by the time she came out, we had the Thrilling 30 at that point. I hope we eventually start to embrace Arcee figures (and female transformers in general) actually using transformation bulk the way all the male transformers do.
the title of the video says 14,000 lol not 1,400 also, with the bumblebee movie figure, theres a transformation step where you pull on the lower legs on the sides and you pull it out backwards allowing for the robot mode to be complete. it should allow for better stability.
That's the first time I have seen Animated Arcee as a figure and she looks cool, a really nice homage to how she was in the 'toon, the eBay seller sucks to do that. I love the SS86 Arcee, Bumblebee movie Arceee and the Angel Engine TF Prime KO and am really grateful to have copies of them basically perfect enough for me. I really want a SS/Legacy quality deluxe version of EarthSpark Arcee (and one of Dad2 Jackie.) As for Cyberverse Arcee it doesn't do it for me, I removed the car from her back on mine and put some wings on she is now a NON Transforming Wrecker on my shelf. I also repurposed the head from Earthrise WFC Arcee and made a custom Lambro.
Fully agree on needing more Earthspark love, I’d thrown their Starscream and Twitch in that pile. As for Cyberverse, I get that. It’s just hitting some notes I like. And your custom Arcee sounds amazing, I need to try giving that a go.
So for a mainline representation of G1 Arcee, I prefer the Thrilling 30 mold over SS86-16 Arcee. SS86 seems to flatten out certain parts in robot mode and makes her look a little too similar to the craptastic Earthrise version. T30 - especially if you get the more show accurate color Transformers Legenda LG10 Arcee by Takara - just looks the part perfectly in my mind. Sure, SS86-16 has a more accurate vehicle mode, but at what cost? Added kibble to the robot mode and the aforementioned flattened out parts? Nah. I'll stick to T30 (and keep tryna find LG10 for pricing that doesn't eviscerate wallets...). And just to show how good it was, Takara did a retool of her into LG15 Nightbird. (Similarly, they'd retool MP51 Arcee into MP55 Nightbird...) Cyberverse Arcee I totally picked up on a whim, this was before I got the T30 one. And I didn't mind that Waspinator butt she had with her backpack, though it was hilarious that her vehicle mode looked more like Hot Rod than the actual Hot Rod!! TFP FE Arcee is actually my favorite figure of Arcee...meanwhile, she's my second favorite characterization of Arcee. That particular Ocular Max one...no idea if it's true or not, but I've heard that's supposed to be a representation of Nancy, the female Junkion (given the color scheme). Wouldn't surprise me, MMC did do an Animated Dragstrip repaint of that mold...
In my own list I would have to cheat, cause I would tie Prime rid and Prime Beast Hunters ones together. And probably very high, maybe even number 2. I don’t have APC yet, but I will, so maybe that one would become number 1. I would add somewhere on my list, the 2007 movie Arcee somewhere. She’s kinda ugly but cool at the same time. Miles and kilometers better than the Rotf one for sure. I want the Rotb beast alliance one, but I can’t fin her anywhere :(
I love that 2007 one, I just don’t have her in my collection! I need to find her. Hopefully you’ll be able to find the BA Arcee, the distribution’s been so rough.
The Legacy Prime "lol" Arcee mold. I am one of the 3 people that liked it, milelong shortcomings aside. I've got 3 of this mold, her, the red speedia guy, and the lightcycle one lol, NONE of them are capable of transforming anymore, becuase the same freakin piece on all 3 has broken. One of the nose flaps that holds the front of the bike together, the righthand one ON ALL THREE! Sucks..
@@ronbondujon9690 It's MP Arcee but the chest issue is fixed, the thing feels solid in hand and comes with all the same parts as the MP would. It does have a..questionable chest piece as an option but I just packed that away lol. I paid $59.99 so the price was right.
@@Massimo1162 It sounds great, the chest thing aside. I won’t lie, that does sour me on Arcee toys pretty quickly, but I get that it’s just a throw-away part of the toy.
I dunno, I like 3rd Party. I think they make some cool stuff. At the same time, we have all have different floats for our own boats. It’s all just fun to talk about at the end of the day!

For all the great things Cyberverse Arcee is, in demand is not one of them😂. Also, that’s cool about the Action Master thing, I never knew that.
Keep em coming these fugures of videos are great
Thank you, thank you!
I can't choose between the Cyberverse Deluxe Arcee or the Weaponizer mainline ROTB Arcee is the best.
Those are all great toys! Arcee needs a MANY Toys of eventually.
Great video! The Titans Return Arcee was a pick up for me to get Daniel I won’t lie 😂. I wanted to have a tiny Daniel to put next to Sixshot
Hey, some Headmasters love! It makes for a good display.
good to see your channel growing, well deserved!
Thank you!
i love arcee, she sings so well in cybertronic spree!
I haven’t thought about that band in a while! They’re awesome!
I remember only getting 86 Arcee because she was in that 2 figure bundle with ss sideways but I ended up like her more than I thought
She’s a deceptively solid toy.
Great video.
Thank you!
You're bumblebee arcee is mistransformed. You need to pull her calves away from her lower leg to have those heels work correctly.
Huh, I must’ve done it wrong like two years ago and put it on the shelf. Thanks for letting me know!

I was hoping to pick that Legacy Prime mold as SG Flamewar but she never showed. Still kept Thrilling 30's as love that black touches on it.
Thrilling 30 is such a great Arcee. I’m on the hunt for that Flamewar as well, I’ve always liked her design.
I got cyberverse arcee yesterday
Ay! Welcome to the club!
@@ronbondujon9690 she is growing on me
They need a new 86 Arcee that crosses transformation between 3rd party and MP.
