    Thanks for clearing that up, I guess the article I read have gotten it mixed up or it could be I got it mixed up since it was a long time ago and I was more interested in the pictures than the article itself heheheh... ah well 4th hand info passed along always end up distorted (as like that parlour game - pass the message). Still if Hasbro picked up the design - seeing as they freakin hired the dude who made it in the first place they would've capitalized so much from it. tsktsktsk jst goes to show , you cannot fathom what their way of thinking about the franchise is.

    Thanks for the link too kurdt! First time I saw those pics I was so elated, but when I learned it wasn't a mass retail item I just went sad sad sad

    But yeah THAT mould is defnitely G1 Arcee... and if they ever make 1 it SHOULD be just like that!

    In addition I'd like a Generations Fort Max - that new look design they've got for him in the ongoing comics looks wicked - from what I can work out it loos like he transforms into a battle station platform of sorts or could be a mobile battle tank/station of sorts. It's really interesting they comeup with these new characters who I hope end up with their own official figures ... just like Drift did. Rung looks like a motorbike of some sorts to me - Id like a figure of him too to stand next to my Generations Red Alert figure hehehehe

    OH and also if they can come up with Omega Supreme - just like how he is in the new comics, THAT is awesome... the base mode is freakin cool IMO - a playset for generations toys wohooo!

    Well they could make most of the parts Die cast for an arcee making it more sturdy, but yeah if ever loose the hi -heels. The 3rd party figure hi heels is just horrible when trying to stand the figure... I keep my not Arcee up with some blu tack heheheh

    Id also like to see a proper figure Deluxe TRAILBREAKER and of course a redeco into HOIST. Then we can finally complete the Autobot cars

    That's one sweet custom.

    The reason why Generations G1 style Arcee tops my list is because we've never had a proper G1 Arcee transformable action figure before. Remember when Armada Unicron first came out and everybody got super excited over it (myself included)? I know that as soon as news came out that Unicron had been sighted at David Jones, I raced over to my nearest one after work and grabbed two (one for myself, the other for another OTCAer). And I think Ben Yee described the euphoric feeling of getting this toy best -- it's the toy that we'd been waiting 18 years for!

    It's been 26 years since TFTM hit cinemas and we saw Arcee... still no official action figure of her yet. Generations has been giving us several characters which debuted in media which didn't have toys before, like Drift and Straxus (Darkmount). Why not Arcee?

    I personally think the original G1 Galvatron's a really nice toy.
