    would it be possible to take Arcee's head and split it into two pieces, thinking of trying to put one of those impossible toys diaclone drivers into the head. Making it a headmaster

    It's a pretty small head. I doubt it.

    Bought two, gave one to my daughter so we could open it up and play with it. Love the simple transformation. Sure, she's a bit of a shell-former with heaps of back kibble, but everything tucks away so nicely underneath the car mode. They couldn't have designed her any other way and retained that sleek robot mode which is true to the animation model. A great figure (no pun intended) and well worth the wait. A++

    I'm just amazed by the awesomeness of Generations Arcee and how close HasTak managed to get the toy to the original G1 model. Bear in mind that in the G1 cartoon, Arcee transforms from car to robot with almost all of the vehicle parts disappearing into thin air. While it's true that Gen Arcee carries about half of her vehicle kibble on her back, they've done an impressive job in incorporating it with the robot mode as well as compacting it. I'm impressed with how they've actually used some of the backpack kibble to form the pylons that sit behind Arcee's shoulders in the cartoon model. We typically see these sorts of feats being achieved with Masterpiece Transformers, but Arcee manages to achieve this with relative success at a Deluxe Class size and budget/price point! Furthermore, we know that this toy has to be intuitive to transform, as well as fun and durable to play with. Considering that this is a mass-produced toy for the general market, I think that this is one EXCELLENT toy. The backpack kibble is unfortunate, but also unavoidable, but I think that they've done a pretty good job in trying to work around it.

    Highly recommended.

    Got the Legends version of Arcee this week. Finally. She's pretty cool, but what a backpack.

    Looking at it tonight I realised that with the flesh coloured face and arms, she's storybook accurate!

    Mine got delivered today and gotta say, I was intially unimpressed when I opened the box. The vehicle mode is tiny and so much robot underneath. But Transforming is rather fun and very clever. Some nice (cute) touches that I noticed on my forst go, ut will have to play with a bit more to se if it really is what I think it is.

    I have about 2 complaints though, The guns don't quite fit into the leg holster holes on mine and you can't slot the guns into her hands properly. Aaaargh.
