Hasbro: “we took the fan loved Prime designs, and stripped them of all their uniqueness that made people love them”.

[@J_Rustle98]

I really wanna like the figure, and Bulkhead, but I just can’t. It just doesn’t make any sense to me that, after four years of making show (and movie) accurate figures, Hasbro decided to go back to re-designing the characters. From my point of view, it just confirms that they’re too afraid to move in from G1. What a shame.

[@rickythomas9483]

The reason their afraid is because oh the fans that complain about things bot being g1 but I do agree with you. I grew up with transformers prime all I want is show accurate transformable figures

[@kobalt8845]

yeah geewunners are holding back the line imo

[@paraclonebasedtrooper8225]

G1 actually makes Money. If they make a new universe with new Designs. G1 Tards will just keep bitch and Moan. "OpTiMuS dOn'T hAvE fLaMeS!" "OpTimUs DoEsN't TrAnSfOrM iNtO a PlAne/CaR" "OpTimUs DoEsN't DaTe aNd BaNg ArCeE" It's like they wanted to keep it the same for 40 years. Hasbro already knew and was aware of the backlash. They do listen but pretend they didn't hear anything. G1 pumps the money, 40-year-olds will just buy Generic Optimus prime number 300. Atleast Animated and Bayverse change it abit to not look G1 Generic as it should be.

[@CameronM1138]

As he said in the review, they already made nearly perfect Prime figures for most of the characters the first time around, and there's simply no feasible way new figures based on those designs would have been able to look like they fit in with the original toylines. Compare modern Studio Series figures to figures from the ROTF toyline and most of the new ones would stick out like a sore thumb despite being based on the same designs because the toy design philosophy has changed so much. It'd be the same with Prime designs. I'm really happy that we're getting versions of these characters that can fit in with CHUG collections. There are lots of non-G1 characters that I love and want represented in my collection, but I don't have the money or space to collect multiple lines/styles.

[@lucastheprime787]

@@paraclonebasedtrooper8225 but bayverse looks like monsters, like look at a picture of optimus primes face there and he looks like trash. Ratchet looks like a serial killer, bumblebee looks like his face got torn apart, and some other stuff for other characters. Im not all about g1 but if the designs look horrible then i wont like it. I likt the designs of TFP. Dont get me wrong but i feel that bayverse isnt for me.

[@lucastheprime787]

[@alphach1mp]

If they just designed the lower legs like the original mold where the wheels split and fold into the lower legs would make this figure exponentially better by aesthetics. Other than that, I think that the mold is pretty good. Maybe a third party can make a collapsible half wheel into another folding half by folding in the wheels and then swivel into the back of the leg.

That’s because it’s a pretool of someone else

I quite like the concept of Generations styled TFP designs, it's the execution that's pretty awful. Arcee & Bulkhead just look too blocky, whereas the TFP designs were really smooth with very few straight lines.

[@kanohihorder1228]

@@Optimusprime809 really think about Arcee is not that blocky it looks that way because of her small head and wide chest if you made her head a little bigger and elongate her face and shrink the chest a bit and make it more pronounced it will look more like what you expect from the og TF Prime design

[@EmeraldFatalis]

@Paw Patrol and Transformers It's mostly because many of us want new TFP figures since several of us didn't get into the show right away and missed out on the TFP toys or would just like better molds for some of them (Knockout). I don't mind the G1 look but I want new prime figures in show look first! They can do the G1 look versions later as an anniversary or exclusive.

[@Dadbodbatman]

I’m just really tired of the G1 aesthetic. I was excited for legacy because I thought we were going to get variety and different styles incorporated. So I’m sadly disappointed that they’re just taking these other eras and reformatting them to G1. This is just my thoughts. If you do like it that’s fine. Just wanted to express my thoughts

[@vietcong411]

I’m torn. As a g1 guy I like it and might even pick this one up. But I get it. Fans of different shows would want there figures to be more faithfully represented.

[@RingoLoadagain]

Yeah honestly I hate the whole concept of this line. Everything looks terribly simplistic and generic now, when they should have been celebrating all the stuff that's come before.

[@eternaldragon2745]

Hopefully, Hasbro will do remakes of the TFP, RID, IDW comics, etc. figures. I'd love to see a remake of TFP Arcee and Ratchet, IDW Sandstorm and Windblade, and others.

[@ScamOne]

@@o.v.mtrains4070 Not an expert but I’d assume the more blocky, simplistic design that removes the generally angular and dynamic look of her original design.

[@CameronM1138]

I think this is a solid contendor for one of the best bike modes they've ever done in a Transformer. I'll definitely be wanting Flamewar if they make her from this mold, and the Road Rocket remold might tempt me too.

[@grand_max66]

Actually seeing it up close it actually looks far better than I originally thought.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

It is definitely a lot better in hand but still not great haha

[@smittyprime04]

Honestly so far I don’t really care for anything in Legacy. The fact that Arcee and Bulkhead aren’t actual new figures of their TFP designs was definitely a deal breaker for me. We don’t need more G1 shoved down our throat all the time. It’s a cool concept but this was not the right way to go. I think It’s nice cause now I can save some money and just focus on the movie studio series figures

[@myriadmediamusings]

The good thing about these PvP early fig reviews is that gives us the chance to see the fig early and what it does before we make our pre-order. Pre-ordering asap without knowing the quality of it is a bad idea. Laser Optimus is definitely the one I'm looking forward to the most in Legacy Wave 1, but I'll be awaiting the PvP review before I make the pre-order.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks man! Glad they help you out

[@Riz_]

Finally got Arcee after months of waiting and I love her. I have no previous attachment to the character and have no previous versions to compare or refer to so I am coming to this fresh. Personally I absolutely love both robot and bike modes. I really enjoy the transformation and find it a really nice figure to display in either mode. The wheels on the side of the calves don't bother me at all, not saying they are aesthetically pleasing but they don't bother me. I don't have a large collection by any means but this figure is certainly one of my favorites.

[@RialVestro]

I don't think this design is all that different from her actual Prime design. The differences are very subtle when compared to how different Bulkhead looks. The main differences... The robot mode looks a bit more gender neutral. It doesn't really make sense for Arcee to be blocky in a G1 aesthetic because female Transformers were never really that blocky in G1 to begin with. Her original appearance would already fit right in with the G1 aesthetic without any changes done to it. Making her a bit more blocky like this I think is to accommodate later reuses of the mold to possibly appear as a male character. This version still works for a female Arcee but I could easily see this mold being retooled into a more masculine design later down the line. The original version of Prime Arcee with how the proportions worked could only ever be used to make female characters. A male retool wouldn't have worked. But this mold has some gender neutral proportions that could make it work as male or female with some simple retooling. The side panels on her vehicle mode have changed from having a double spike design to just being flat and I'm not sure why they did that. They could have elongated those panels to look more like Prime Arcee. Because of that I think the robot mode actually looks more like the character than the vehicle mode does. The vehicle mode really feels like the bike was designed for future reuses and not for Arcee. It's a nice motocycle mode I just don't think it works for the character it's suppose to be. The arms also could have used some different tooling to give her more of that Prime Arcee look. It looks OK from a side on view but from a top view again the back end of Arcee's motorcycle comes to a point where as her arm panels make the back end flat. Again I think this would look fine on future reuses of the mold but it doesn't fit the design of Arcee. Because of the changes to the vehicle mode I think she looks better in robot mode. The vehicle mode just doesn't feel like the correct style of motorcycle for Prime Arcee. And of course the weapons which I agree is a huge misstep. The arm blades look nothing like Prime Arcee's actual arm blades from the show. I thought they were designed that way to store inside one of the tires but no they just hang out awkwardly in the vehicle mode so why do they form a circle? The other weapon doesn't even look like anything and should of been her arm blaster. Despite the flaws she still looks a lot more screen accurate than Bulkhead. Personally I never liked Bulkhead's design to begin with and actually prefer the more G1 aesthetic but the fact that they're marketing the figure as Prime Bulkhead when it looks nothing like the Prime design just feels wrong to me. This I can still see as a Prime Arcee. Bulkhead I feel should just G1 Bulkhead and should not be marketed as the Prime version of the character because it's not the Prime design. He's got as much in common with Prime as he does with the Animated version which is basically just a vaguely similar head design and color scheme but they're all very different vehicles. Either Hasbro should make a show accurate representation if they're going to market him as Prime Bulkhead or they should just market him to be G1 Bulkhead but they can't have it both ways. All that said... I would really love Animated characters done in this style. I've always hated the proportions on those designs so to see them redone like Generations Blitzwing or Legacy Bulkhead would improve those designs for me.

[@spanglezekankleplushapalooza]

I was starting to doubt if I was actually going to like this figure (especially the face sculpt) and after seeing your review I feel better about this figure and I'm planning to get it when it comes out.

[@Norion26]

Good lord I’m so tired of the G1 aesthetic. I get it. Without G1 we wouldn’t have what we have now, but seriously. Not everything needs to become G1.

[@RamblingCatastrophe]

Man, putting the new figure next to the First Edition Arcee reminded me how cool a more art-inspired approach can be. Taking her curvy design and turning it into flat blocks for the sake of G1 just looks awful.

[@DaisZX]

This was my most anticipated figure of Legacy. I always expected a g1 translation of the blue motorcycle Arcee rather than a Prime style remake (hoping that happens at some point, but it was never meant to be legacy). I've warmed up to Bulkhead quite a bit, but I *hate* this re-design. The torso last all dimension by being squished flat. The face lost all personality -and was poorly sculpted with the squared pink flares. The legs are just plain bad ly designed by all standards. Even the motorcycle lost some attitude with those rounded headlights. A crushing disappointment over all.

[@p6mkq]

I guess Iron Hide 86 is much more worthy of a purchase?

[@SwedishSeacon]

Flamewar redeco and minor retool need to happen out of this figure. It just have to since we have a new opportunity to do that where she isn't a BotCon exclusive for once.

[@boobs_n_bots]

Watch her be a damn Amazon exclusive & not even a Wal Mart or Target one (marginally less sucky) 😠

[@cipren8645]

I must say that I love this figure, the robot mode looks so good but IMO the legs would look way better if they would find a way to somehow swing those wheels back to the calf’s. Not only would it look better from the front but also at the back since it would at least cover up those exposed joints. But overall I think this figure turned out great 👍

[@derekm.melendez8100]

I do feel that the Legacy Voyager Bulkhead is a mix between Prime (head), Animated (the vehicle mode being a military vehicle) with the mix of G1 which is a very interesting idea. As far as Legacy Prime Arcee looks decent well done. I do hope that they can make a Flamewar version of that figure.

[@isaandreso215]

I just don't like the proportions, Bulkhead usually has short legs and big arms and all of his limbs are chubby, plus he is too blocky. These legacy figures of "Prime" have been a disappointment

[@kR-qj7rw]

That box ass shit has nothing of animated in it. It's purely a g1 bulkhead and thank God they at least got the jaw right

[@derekm.melendez8100]

I meant the vehicle mode reminded me of Animated. Remember that RtS Lugnut? It has both the movie look mixed with the Animated look. Or the Thrilling 30th Blitzwing having the Animated Gimmick on a cybertronian G1 body

[@Dragonqueer]

If we don't get this retooled as flamewar I'll be sad

[@dr.goshleorio8343]

Nothing beats APC Angel Engine Arcee that you already reviewed. My favorite figure.

[@IsThatWheelJack9905]

The design itself looks so sick and badass that I just needed it for my collection! The motorcycle itself also looks so clean and slick like the original version of the Prime Arcee.

[@lumityforever]

I love the figure I just wish she still add the back wings like the cartoon design

[@Magmafrost13]

Im certainly open to the idea of new character designs - god knows the franchise desperately needs that - but the old Prime figures are virtually inaccessible today (especially the really good ones like First Edition Bulkhead), and even the APC Toys KOs all sell out fairly quickly. There's clearly demand for screen-Accurate TF Prime figures and it really suck that Hasbro decided to go in different direction instead. I wouldnt be surprised if these toys underperform and Hasbro takes that to mean no one wants TFP toys.

[@_V.Va_]

If it looks G1 enough I’m sure they’ll eat it up.

[@chrispepoy278]

🙂 ok I just picked this up. When she’s in robot mode… if you pop off the side panels that are on the front of the bike and reverse them, they give her the look of the flared out ‘wings’ in blue and she looks 20% better imo!

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

I wish this was more accurate to the Prime design. Prime Arcee's design is sleek -- that is the key part of the aesthetic. While making her blocky to fit into the G1 aesthetic is fine, they over did it here. She just looks way too clunky, and I think it's the legs throwing me off. They really should fold into the legs, or at least hang closer to them.

[@ethanielm03]

It looks a little bit better than I expected, but I still loath this Arcee! Hasbro could have and should have given us accurate recreations of the on screen Prime characters, but instead they screwed around with it and got lazy! If they couldn't develop any new and accurate molds, I think Hasbro should have just reissued the original Prime toys. I never had any myself, so I definitely would have picked me up a reissue of both Prime Megatron and Prime Bulkhead.

[@tanukijessica]

Prime Arcee was one of my favourite characters, I loved her design but this figure does nothing for me.

[@stadic5311]

Why does everything have to be g1 we literally just got a earthrise with g1 character designs this was their chance to make something different out of a fan favorite show and they made redesigns nobody asked for we had some many toy lines based of the g1 characters.

[@RarebitFiends]

Honestly this is a bit disappointing. I would have preferred if they kept the Prime figures more stylized like the designs from the show, but otherwise in scale with recent bots. And this is coming from a G1 fanboy... Thank you for another comprehensive review!

[@PlatinumKnight-je3vy]

I’ve had no actual issues with Legacy (Prime universe) Arcee, she’s just gotten an unexpected new and G1 themed style. I see some of the problems that people have pointed out after looking at her more thoroughly, specifically the head and chest which I also feel like could of been fixed but even so it’s not a big deal. I’m going to pick up Arcee after I get Dragstrip so that my Legacy collection isn’t solely Decepticons.

[@brooklynbud1138]

It's okay, but I really wish that these were show accurate. G1 started Transformers, but it's not all the brand has to offer. G1 needs to take a backseat, other than the characters that aren't already in the WFC-scale.

[@wraith8852]

I recently aquired a FE Arcee and looking at it, have cancelled my pre-order of this figure. It feels like a comparison of a Masterpiece and a leader class. Honestly, the best thing they could have done was reissue the FE figure with some arm blades and blasters that were paint matched. I understand some may like it but I find it to be a letdown. When we saw were getting a Prime Arcee, I expected alot more than this. The wheels on the legs are too kibble-ish, the wheel drone feels lazy and the energon arm blades just make it feel cheep. I appreciate the stellar review as it was very detailed and has, as always, helped me decide if this figure is something I want. Keep up the good work man.

[@marionhope7506]

Her transformation is BEAUTIFUL!! I am going to love adding her to my collection!!😍🥰😍

[@jaykerprod.2001]

I sadly still can't get over the Design of this Figure, while i get why they went in that direction i still wished they just did the Original Design. I actually Do believe they would've been Able to Surpass the Old First Edition one since they Managed to Upgrade the G1 Designs in WFC. After all thats what makes them Special right? And knowing that a Potential Legacy TV Series is coming and has the Multiverse as the Main Event just.....makes my Hype go away since i Really wanted to See These Different and Unique Designs Clash With eachother i mean Imagine Prime Megatron Meeting Beast Wars Megatron for example But now they get G1-ified and it won't have nearly the Same impact if its Even Happening Still a great Review^^

[@rickgrivera]

I'm not loving the blocky torso - I'm sure there will be upgrade kits - but I honestly don't know if there's ever been a Generations motorbike mode that looks this good. Maybe T30 Wreck-Gar, but that was a different style and had so many engineering issues.

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

If I end up buying this figure I'll definitely try to file away at its "ribs" to give the upper torso a little more taper.

[@daltonwilliams1723]

Cybertron ransack was a pretty good toy. I’m actually winding if they could repaint this into him considering the kibble is in identical places. Even the arms form the same for the backseat

[@antiseize11]

If hasbro are going to incorporate different characters from different continuities of the transformers brand, they should cater to the ones they respectively came from, I don't really wanna see non-G1 characters brought back in a G1-style, which totally misses the point of the whole Legacy line gimmick. I was really expecting updated and more show accurate versions of the non-G1 characters they're bringing in. Since we didn't quite get this in "this" wave, I opted out pre-ordering Arcee and Bulkhead. They're cool figures, don't get me wrong, but they are not in the style I hoped them to be in. G1 has had its day, hasbro, move it to the side and let the other continuities take the stage and shine this time. Just saying

[@Puzzledtraveller]

After seeing the pictures I was undecided about her. Now after seeing your vid, I'm glad I still have the Prime toy. As for Bulkhead, it's all down to personal opinion, and mine is "no thanks, it looks awful". Hasbro's saving me plenty of money in 22

I’d want to see a comparison to wreck-gar. Liking this chug style done to her. But if I was a TFP fan coming back, I would probably not like it and want a more true to show figure.

[@blueraccoon1088]

As a guy who started when cybertron was ending i see this easily as a ransack reuse, new head. I wonder who fits as Crumplezone?

[@wuboAF]

Good prediction! The wheels all end up in the right places for it

[@lucastheprime787]

I think they just messed up the sculpt. The only G1ification is adding a nose. Thats it

[@brosiden3117]

The front wheel is used 100% for flamewar’s wheels if you rotate the front of the bike around on her back it can give you that look

[@KewneRain]

The main thing I don't like about this version of Arcee (other than the head scuplt) is, on my copy anyway, the wheels are REALLY hard to get apart when she's going from vehicle to robot mode.

[@Gree0041]

I got first edition arcee not too long ago and I think that one is the definitive version.That being said I am considering getting bulkhead because to me he just looks like a g1 bulkhead while arcee looks like a weird combination of the styles. That being said can’t wait for knock out he is probably going to be the best prime figure in the line because his design is so simple

[@elitegamer21005]

Eh the RID version is more accurate

[@ngjplaysandmore6167]

Guess it's only me who has no qualms with what Hasbro has done for this particular Arcee figure

[@leftygurl]

arcee is the one im most looking forward to out of this first wave, missed the prime toyline but i love the character. bit kibbly, but overall she seems pretty satisfying

[@EthanC-km6ku]

10:08 "pun intended" LOL

[@diegos7337]

Very Good Review! I really like this Arcee, the only detail I can point out is that she might look like a male character as well.

[@Jormyyy]

Robot mode isn't perfect (no matter what it seems any design of Arcee will always as a bit of a kibble problem), but I love this design regardless. Imo creating a uniform art style for modern TFs is awesome!

[@im2hastyle]

Ok cool, I'm glad you compared it to the apc Angel Engine. I'll probably get 1. But I'm still going to use the Angel Engine to customize to a Flamewar.

[@matthewreynoso6904]

This is a near perfect Arcee dedicated to Prime Arcee!

[@bingbong3406]

I don’t mind the legs. They just had to hint at that groove remold lmao

[@magicmanscott40k]

Reminds me of the red motorcycle dude from the cybertron series. It's a neat idea to make them look old school but it be cooler if they were show accurate

[@dk6419]

This is terrible, to come from the amazing designs of price to a blocky awkward design with massive backpack kibble (way worse than the original first edition and rid versions.) You lose the sleekness of prime arcee. I'm hoping that both this and their bulkhead figure are not a sign of the future as they are automatic passes.

[@TheColterbolt]

yeah, a rather unfortunate robot mode but the bike mode looks amazing. the "drone" mode of the front wheel actually reminds me of the saw launcher from the Cybertron games, my favorite weapon from them

[@allzpark]

i miss the prime days

[@francisfalgui9292]

Great review, PVP, but it was a missed opportunity for the design to use the front wheels for the drone thing, instead of the back wheels. She's a decent toy, but I'll wait for a possible Flamewar repaint for this mold. Lastly, I agree that Legacy should go for Prime-inspired design instead of Prime-replicated designs since the old toys and recent 3P products still hold. Looking forward for the release of Legacy Bulkhead though.

[@Spicy_Magma]

Wow, this is the first time ever that a transformer has had chucke cheese pizza cutter as an accessory!

[@hreaper]

I've recently got her, it's currently my favourite toy sitting on my table. I'm just wondering, would you be able to match her slots with the legacy Junkions like Crash Bar?

[@mothost6929]

While the figure isn't bad by anymeans and is actually pretty good, i'm getting really sick and tired of Hasbro given so much attention to G1 and nothing else. Transformers has become more than just G1 and the live action movies and It sucks we probably aren't ever gonna get new show accurate Prime, Animated, etc figures anytime soon

[@prestonhinga8812]

I don't know why... But I can really feel an upcoming add on from DNA Design for this figure and others. For Arcee. I can see them making wheel replacements for the legs that can split and flip back, as well as the blades for her arms. And of we are really lucky, maybe a blaster or two for her.

[@joshuamontgomery3011]

For me, it represents what i would want a Generations figure to be, with homages to multiple Transformers series. I really kind of like it.
