Arcee what you did there...

My attempt at a CHUG Arcee. Repainted a DOTM Sideswipe. Alt mode worked out fne, but the head for bot mode is a complete fail. I'm going to have to rethink it. It looks like the Joker at the moment :mad: I might try a Perceptor or Astrotrain head. Any suggestions welcome.
I am happy with how the torso and thighs worked out. The lower legs are still movie-esque but I reckon when it's on a shelf they won't be noticeable.

That's works better than I'd have expected, but the lipstick is a little off!
(Might add her to my fan group of Sideswipe repaints ;) )

Optimus - "Hey there cutie"
Sideswipe - "It's me Optimus"
Optimus - "Ummm... Sideswipe??"
Sideswipe - "It's Arcee now"

:D

That was gold :D:D

The coloring on the body looks fantastic!

Colours are perfect and the toy choice was about as good as you can get.

Reminds me of the Binaltech Arcee quite a lot, but you have utilised the pink far better.

I like the alt mode look and the robot, can't wait to see the improved head. The current one looks very thuggy. (No offence :D)

Arcee looks great! Perfect colour scheme.

Wow, the colour scheme works really well man, good job.

Vehicle mode looks saweet. Works so much better than I thought when I clicked that link. I reckon an Astrotrain head would do the trick. Giver her boofy 'hair' a decent look.

Sideswipe came from Hasbro, USA.
Hitch-hiked his way across to my junk pile, hey?.
Dremeled his arms on the way
Painted his legs and then he was a she
Arcee says, "Hey, Prime,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, Roddy,
Take a walk on the wild side."

Little Arcee never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
Autobot City's the place
Where they said, "Hey, Prime,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, Ultra,
Take a walk on the wild side."

And the minicons go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

^ great song that :D

Also, how about Energon Arcee's head.. https://imageshack.com/i/jydscn0238jj
It looks to be quite big for the basic mold in the link here, like it were actually deluxe sized.

Hehe, without the absurd back kibble the figure kinda works well for a Fembot - Nice work! :D

The dead thread shall rise!
I'd forgotten this was meant to be a CHUG Arcee and thought it was a movie custom... :o
I gave up on finding a deluxe -sized head and used a cybertron Arcee scout heads. And I don't think it looks too bad.

Wow looks awesome especially with the new head

The new head is a huge improvement on bot mode, makes her look more like Arcee and less like Sideswipe in drag. Good job :)

I just love the thread title :D
