Generations Arcee & Warpath?

[Vector Prime]

New listings on Walmart computer system as reported here (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/generations-arcee-and-warpath-listed-171232/).

Wowsers! :D

[SharkyMcShark]

Hasbro has been hinting at Arcee for about a year now

Yes I know...but this kinda makes it almost official, seeing as Walmart is retail God in the US! :p

[SharkyMcShark]

Also to be honest im more interested in this new Starscream - I'm hoping against hope still for an EJ Su style F-22 Raptor Starscream

Starscream's probably my favourite all time character, so any release (non-Movie) is good news in my books.

I'm hoping it's a WFC version :)

[autobreadticon]

T_T yesh, Arcee!! i was waiting for the pink reco of the TF:Prime toy, but this is lovely!~

[Hursticon]

You've got to be kidding!?! :mad::p
Oh well, 2 fembots will be better than no fembots - more Arcee to go round I guess. :cool:
The more interesting piece is Warpath and I hope to Anubis that he's based on the WFC iteration but unfortunately if he's under the Generations line - wouldn't that suggest that he is stuck as a Deluxe? :(
If he was under the RTS line then he'd be able to be a Voyager which I'm sure would be much preferred. ;):D

That's a bad thing? :confused:

Deluxe is the way to go for everything IMHO, besides, look what they did to Seaspray & Powerglide (other G1 origin Minibots) when they went larger than Deluxe :p

Hmm, fair point but I didn't mind Classicsverse Powerglide and WFC Bumblebee/Cliffjumper should've been Scouts IMO, but I guess if done right Deluxes are more often than not The top figures - But imagine this as a Voyager: ;):D

I am a bit concerned that we have seen the listing before a prototype or concept drawing.

I hope that they are not ill thought out repaints but if they are new molds then I say Bring them on!

[Quickstrike]

Well, we've seen Warpath. Go look at Sky Shadow's signature picture.

[1AZRAEL1]

Well considering these lists get leaked before we see figures, we have been lucky sometimes. But I look forward to them none the less.

[gdmetro]

Wow....

If this is true, and Arcee looks halfway decent.. glad I didn't pick up the 3rd party one.

Warpath... sounds amazing.. although I was happy with the legends version already. Perhaps a remould from skullgrin/straxus?

Hope not, I love that mold, but doesn't suit WP IMO. Maybe it will be a new mold for WFC. I can hope anyway.

If this Arcee is decent I will place my 3rd party one in the G1 shelf in a 'static' pose (as he sculpt somewhat looks the part) and display this one with Classics.

However this is a character that Hasbro doesn't usually succeed at making a good tribute so I will not get excited until I see something solid.

[Lord_Zed]

I'm hoping for something in keeping with the classic verse style, but not necessarily a weird square car. Something like Kup would be good. Cause I really would like an Arcee to display with them and not Springer and Not Rodimus, I have thought about 3rd parties, but they just don't seem worth it.

Hmmm I wonder how many months of United Arcee is? :D

I have.....

... and I'd still prefer a Deluxe thanks.

[kup]

Instead of a gun, United Arcee will come with a nice tray so that she can serve some Energon tea for all the boys :D




... and I'd still prefer a Deluxe thanks.

For Warpath I would also prefer a deluxe. I don't want another Powerglide debacle, I thought that the Ultra class size for Universe was a very poor choice for the character, specially in the colors of the original release :rolleyes:.

[Sharky]

what is the chances that arcee will be a g1-esque car and not a bike.. ??

[VERT]

I thought Hasbro did not like Candy pink cars. :D

[kaiden]

pretty good - if she's being released at the same time as WFC Warpath. (well... hoping they're both WFC)

and i really like her WFC design

[5FDP]

Generations Arcee will be a retool of the Animated toy much like what Hasbro did with Lockdown (or Rockdown depending on where you hail from) therefore she will be a car.

She will also be extremely hard to get (hey, she's not easy you know :p) being a Walmart exclusive and at the end of the Generations line. In other words, it won't be available in Australia ala Animated Arcee. Online is the only way to go.

Because Hasbro are retooling the figure (which is why we haven’t seen any leaked photos yet), one of the changes will be a new head to lessen the 'animated' feel. It will be replaced with a Headmaster (Daniel) as homage to the G1 series 'Rebirth'.

I have a crystal ball ;)

[SharkyMcShark]

Literally none of that is true or will ever come to pass

Edit: except perhaps th she will be a car bit

[GoktimusPrime]

Unlikely considering that movie Starscream is an F22 and Hasbro won't allow two different F22 Decepticon jets to compete with each other on toy shelves. That's why the Animated Constructicons were never made. :( :mad: It could be a possibility in the future after the movie franchise has finished and if Hasbro are still making Classicsverse, then we may see an F22 "neo G1" Starscream... Man I really want Animated Scrapper and Mixmaster (don't really care about Dirt Boss so much) <sigh>

There's a fair chance considering that Animated Arcee was a car.

ROTF Lockdown's not a retool of Animated Lockdown, it's an entirely new mould (albeit inspired by Animated Lockdown, but redesigned for movie aesthetics). I'd be pretty happy if Generations Arcee was inspired by Animated Arcee but redesigned with neo-G1 aesthetics, as Animated Arcee is pretty darn close to G1 Arcee anyway. All ya gotta do is tweak out the "cartoonish" Animated elements and you pretty much have G1 Arcee. :)


She will also be extremely hard to get (hey, she's not easy you know :p) being a Walmart exclusive and at the end of the Generations line. In other words, it won't be available in Australia ala Animated Arcee. Online is the only way to go.
We sometimes get US store exclusives here either as a local store exclusive figure (e.g. Target exclusive, Toyworld exclusive etc.), or sometimes even just mass released here (e.g. Machine Wars was a KB Toys/Kay Bee exclusive in the US, but was available everywhere here). But still... I probably wouldn't like to take my chances, so if you or anyone else in Sydney are thinking about organising an online group order, please 'clude me in. :)

That... could actually work!

You'd better wear an extra padded cup during sparring then. ;) :p

Put the beer down man....:p:p:D:D too much head.... wheheeheh:D:D

As kup has mentioned Arcee is a figure which Hasbro has been poor in giving homage to ( Animated an exception IMO) so hopefully it is a car not another bike version, hope the toy gets produced and not canned like what they always do ( they have a track record to uphold you know:rolleyes:) and hopefully we get it even though via online but not in exorbitant Botcon type pricing...

Warpath... hmm twood be good to have him in Voyager ... for me okay.... that way since they love sticking electronic lights and sounds to bigger sized Tformers. Just imagine - when you press the gimmick button - the turret lights up and we hear Warpath scream his signature - KAPOW, BLAAAM, ZAP! :D:D:D NOW that IS Warpath!!:D:D:D

[kup]

If it's a Walmart exclusive it will almost certainly not be a new mold and as 5FDP is suggesting, a repaint of Animated Arcee.

Hopefully it will be a mass release which would increase the chances of a new mold, otherwise, oh well.

[Hursticon]

LOL :p:D
Your Crystal Ball intrigues me... :)

Guys, it's 5:30am and ur killing me! :p:D

See, Liege's got the idea - Lights and sound would be friggin' awesome! especially if he has a sound byte of his signature catch phrase! :D:cool:
(Unfortunately though, I think the Pro Deluxes will have their way :()

[1AZRAEL1]

According to Seibertron, we have already seen Warpath? :confused:


We have already been given a look at the new Warpath in the RTS Rodimus vs Cyclonus twopack however we have no idea how Arcee will look like.

[Sky Shadow]

According to Seibertron, we have already seen Warpath? :confused:

If that's right then - as Quickstrike says - look at my sig.

[GoktimusPrime]

That excites me as I missed out on Legends Warpath (stupid Hasbro AU not releasing that wave of Legends here *grumble**mumble**moan*) -- I would have preferred a Deluxe, or even a Scout like Windcharger. Still, a Voyager is preferable over an Ultra which is what Powerglide was.

Why do you think it's not a Deluxe?

[1AZRAEL1]

I think he was talking about the previous Legends size figure there.

[GoktimusPrime]

Oops, somehow I got the idea in my head that it would be a Voyager... but of course all Generations toys have been Deluxen (thus far) -- which is indeed preferable for me. :) I blame the heat in Perth. The fact that I'm not there is irrelevant... I choose to blame it anyway. :p

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

I'd be alright with that as a Deluxe Warpath.

[kaiden]

Why do you think it's not a Deluxe?

looking at the sig

voyager grappel & lugnut
scout rumble & frenzy
deluxe generations warpath? (but im now disappointed its not wfc warpath :( and so what the hell is arcee? i dont want an animated retool.)

[Lord_Zed]

So much speculation....

And nothing concrete so far, wait and see I guess.

[Paulbot]

The character in the comic doesn't look too different from Legends Warpath. Just a bit more detailed.

I had a random thought that perhaps the Kup repaint could be Arcee but the head in the instructions is not right.

[Tallestblue]

Generations Arcee! My Heart Explodes with joy!!

That's a scary prospect and although I doubt it I wouldn't put it passed Hasbro to miss the point like that.

[SharkyMcShark]

The Warpath from Sky Shadow's sig looks like it's using the 3mm clip system though (the weapons on its shoulders).

[kup]

Yeah I picked that up too as a possibility but still not sure if that's just art or meant to represent a toy. I hope it's real as I like that design and the added weapons would be a nice bonus.

[liegeprime]

and thus decades of "tradition" in the halls of Hasbro is preserved.....:rolleyes::rolleyes:
