They proved with Animated that it was possible to have an Arcee that looks like her G1 self but actually transforms, but since then they've just gotten more and more shellformer-y.
Yeah for what ever reason, there is a brigade of people who have erased memories of good Arcee figures, and argue that we shouldn't expect better, and it's the most frustrating thing.
I’ve never really liked arcees design, with the human female proportion instead of the typically more cubic designs and I never really liked the futuristic car design that never looks quite rite with the realistic 84 or 85 casts. The only design I actually like was the terminator crossover that actually looks like a real world car and actually uses car pieces for the design
Seriously that would have been a good idea, maybe retool it a little so the backpack compresses a little more, or just incorporate what the KOs did, and make the backpack detachable as a shield, and we'd have been happy.
That was not the plan, but that figure does need a video of some sort dedicated to it. Also back when, I did want that to be something my channel got known for.
I just love the part with the little Arce and he’s just like it’s soooooo CutE then he looks at his shelf grabs his mini grimlock and is just like ThERe sO CUtE I have never agreed with someone so much or laughed that much this month
The only too cee’s I have are the energon one which is alright for a legends battle figure, if not a bit awkward in the arms, and cyberverse arcee, who while I like, certainly isn’t for everyone, also she’s been brought down a few pegs since she broke on me less than 2 days after I got her (I fixed her btw)
The Cyberverse Arcee reminds me of Joan Rivers. And that sucks man. I think you can still find KOs of the Generations figure, and that's actually an improvement cause they re-engineered it so it's got Optional Partsforming if you want to make a shield out of the back pack.
Personaly I prefer when Arcee figures have pink face over white. And I think that a reason you like the Generations it's because her light piping is awesome.
Nice video! Watched it while I was sanding and priming 3 NICEE heads that I 3D printed like a year ago. She's the best Arcee figure I have right now. People just don't know that she is just so freaking posable that it's hard to put her down one you start bending her in badass action poses! And the absolute worst is that damn Kingdom/Earthrise Arcee. I deshelled her so I would NEVER have to transform her ever again. The figure is actually much more enjoyable like this lol.
I too have removed the ERcee shell, and yeah she's better as a non transforming RED figure. I bought an Arcee head for the Nicee on Ebay almost a year ago, and I still haven't received it.
I originally thought that Deluxe Class Thunderblast from TF Cybertron was the worst shellformer of all time, but then I saw Earthrise Arcee and I am so glad that the bottom of Thunderblast's vehicle mode actually closes up, unlike Arcee
The IDW Arcee on the thumbnail makes me wish we had an actual toy of it. An unlicensed company needs to get in on this, hopefully a good company like MMC.
The generations Arcee can be upgraded using the arms from the earthrise arcee, the upper arm pieces can swap using the same mushroom peg. This allows her to hold all weapons from siege and their original weapons. It doesn’t even hinder her transformation. Just recently bought the Idw paint version cause I’m not quite willing to fork over the $90 for the takara version now.
@@PerspectiveEnd honestly it’s one of the only good uses of the soap bar of a shell former that is earthrise arcee lol, and my hot take is that it’s still a decent figure XD
Aww I love that little Arcee!!! 💖💖💖💖 Just wish her Earthrise toy was better bruh. Arcee needs better toys for years to come and hopefully in the near future, I might get my right for my own Netflix Transformers series and give her a great toy. 💞 Anyway, love the review.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it, and she's had a few good toys, like the Generations figure, but for some reason people just cant get her altmode to work out properly.
An expensive deluxe for the next review, I’m gonna guess it’s an old classics figure or like one of the rarer or exclusive prime wars figures like punch or misfire
You are the first person to actually make a guess. I wish I'd included a line where I said no one will ever guess right, because you will NEVER guess correctly, but it's gonna be special, you only have to wait till tomorrow to find out what it is.
Planning on it. I'm hoping they do official releases on Friday. I've got the Videos for next week planned till that point, so if they do the drops on Friday, I'll have better pictures and more information to look at.
Since Prime Arcee is in the thumbnail, I do say that at least in comparison to other transformers figures it's good. Basically all the articulation you could want, accurate as ever, a good amount of extras. But the head sculpt is kind of bland and there is no optional extras, and in comparison to similar figures from other lines the articulation is hell of lacking for the sake of packing the box with accessories. It has two kind of sword effects and an energon cube with a bite in it, and I would gladly give them for an alternate head with a more expressing face like the character deserves.
She was actually in the thumb nail cause in the original video as planned, her retool into Chromia would have made an appearance, but then she was bumped out by ERcee.
@Blackbirds singing in the dead of night I feel like that might get mean spirited very quickly, it would mean that I have to keep her, and I think it's funnier when I beat them up. Many conflicting emotions there.
If the Earthrise Arcee was just a pink/white repaint of the fembot mold that was used for Novastar, Moonracer, Greenlight, Lancer, Chromia and Nightbird, then it would have been better. My honestly opinion.
It's called the Hero Hobby Tiny Rex, It's unclear what their link with Magic Sqaure is, but I've seen it listed as one of their products. Sadly you can still find their Ultra Magnus, but you can't find the Tiny Rex anywhere, Not even Ebay has any. I think everyone one who wanted one bought one, and I probably got one of the last available ones. Sorry.
@@PerspectiveEnd it would be pretty cool to get a tiny grimlock like that. I really want to get a legends grimlock, but the only decent one I’ve seen so far is one from1989 for about 100 bucks, and I’m not going to waste my hard earned cash on that.
@@PerspectiveEnd hm. Even if there was one on eBay, it looks like it would be 50 dollars, and I’m not going to pay that for a legends figure, even if the engineering is great.
It is called the Hero Hobby Tiny Rex, and it's been about 3 years since I bought it so just about the only place you will find it is Ebay. I found two listings for it. www.ebay.com/itm/New-Transformable-Hero-Hobby-QD-01-Mechanical-Dinosaur-Grimlock-Action-Figure/143833070908?hash=item217d1e7d3c:g:jysAAOSwxp1fqenf www.ebay.com/itm/New-Transformable-Hero-Hobby-QD-01-Mechanical-Dinosaur-Grimlock-Action-Figure/274600713036?hash=item3fef7a5b4c:g:vp8AAOSwWSZfqenn
Honestly all those arcees have a caviat to me. Generations if u can tolerate the tremendous backpack, firebird if you like the sexy aesthetic, magic square if like the cute look and Earthrise of you can tolerate shellforming and parts forming at the same time.
Also on ER if you can tolerate an even Bigger Backpack than the generations. And yeah, that's why at the end I kind of came away with Equal winners. Like I just cant say that any one of these has any more claim to the perfect Arcee than the others. Except the Earthrise. That's not the perfect anything, unless it's the perfect monster.
No actually, I've had the Idea for this thumbnail in my head since I started doing whats the best. In the original planned version of this video, I was going to use my Chromia Retool of that Arcee as a stand in for her, but then the Peach girl got announced, and Chromia got bumped out of the running, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise for the Peach Girl so I just kept the old Thumbnail design.
@Blackbirds singing in the dead of night Yeah I don't consider them to be the same characters, they don't share even one Trait outside both being girls.
Thank you. You have just givin me an honest review of RC -i know the name is spelled diffrent and don't care- many reviewers I watch just keep putting a positive spin on the product. Many tell me that RC is a good figure, but after watching this I am no longer sure I want to get it. Though, my Seige Springer is lonely... but wait! Is not there a Kingdom RC coming out next year? Maybe the mold will be better? maybe.....
The Kingdom Arcee is an unchanged Re-release. I know there are KOs of the Generations figure that let you remove the back pack as a Shield, so considering the actual figure is out of print you could look into getting that. No shame in getting a KO when the official product is impossible to support. Even when I truly hate something, it feels bad to talk someone out of wanting something, but I refuse to say stuff I don't believe. It's not my job to like something, it's that things job to make me like it, and if it fails at that, I will say it.
@@PerspectiveEnd Hmm.. I may do that if the figure fits into my collection size wise. How does it pair with springer? and yes i am one of those people that see springer and rc in a relationship.. botlishp? erg well whatever it is it ain't sexual lols :)
Honestly I'd pick the earthrise over the generations arcee because at least it stands up. I've had 4 generations arcee's and they were floppy messes that kept falling apart on me. My copy of earthrise isn't floppy and except for the the detachable backpack, nothing falls apart
@@PerspectiveEnd it pisses me of considering I I think the generations arcee is the better figure from what I've seen but every copy I've got just didn't want to stand. When I've got the time, I'm going to do some paint work on the earthrise arcee so it looks like the Generations Japanese version.
Gotta agree about Earthrise Arcee. That figure is _GODAWFUL_ bad, and the plastic on it looks really cheap. The car mode looks like a ladies' bar of soap, the shell tabs are really flimsy & a PITA to fiddle with, and those skinny-ass bicycle tires... I could go on but it's just cheap junk. I do think the hands-down best Arcee is the EX-01. More of a "based on" than a real derivative, but it's extremely well designed; Big Firebird did something really special with that one.
I’ve got news P, although I don’t know if it’s good or bad. I just recently saw Chefatron’s review on 86 Arcee and yeah Hasbro got SO lazy with that thing. The entire upper body works the exact same way as the Generations Arcee although it’s molded to be slimmer and the front car is also taken directly off of the Generation’s too. The lower section is different though, not the same as Ercee before you ask, and the backpack is pretty compact as in it doesn’t stick out all that much besides sticking out sideways. I don’t know how you’ll feel about it when you get it but, while I’m not usually one to call Hasbro lazy because I just accept “good enough” they just to super lazy. From what I saw, B movie Arcee still beats it. Also I finally did transform B movie for the first time and it’s pretty good, although I really can’t tell the difference between a good or a bad one, I’m weird I know.
Since you mentioned your disdain for Japanse Transformers, I got three questions. 1. What aspects of Japanese Transformers you despise, excluding Kiss Players? 2. Where precisely did this hatred stem from? 3. Are they, in your opinion, good parts of Japanese Transformers? Looking forward to your answer!
There are a ton of problems with Japanese Transformers. For instance their cultural self worship. You can bet that any character that is a Samurai, or Ninja is going to be the most powerful unstoppable character, on what ever team he's a part of, basically entirely on the virtue of it being a Japanese thing. They also just don't Get the Transfomers. To them they treat it more like a typical mech show. Power ups, combinations, the power of friendship, a million enemies dying to a super laser that cuts a planet in half. They take it from any grounding it had and make it into DBZ half the time. Like why is Grimlock more dangerous than Optimus. Because he's bigger, and built with heavier armor and more weapons. Why is Skylynx more dangerous than Grimlock, because he's massive, and built with heavier armor and stronger weapons. Why is Metroplex more dangerous than Skylynx, because he's titanic. But if we are talking a Japanese serries, Why is Starsaber more dangerous than Megatron... Because he's mastered Chi and the way of the Warrior. They also tend to include just stuff that's embarrassing to be associated with. Characters who are beyond cartoonish levels of camp, old robots who like to crotch thrust, and yes romantic relationships between 10 year old girls and 10 million year old robots. And they RUINED Beast Wars when they imported it. They turned the best written most dramatic and somber pieces of Transformers media into a low brow comedy, where all the characters had wacky personalities, and Megatron was a moronic hick, who burped and spit all the time. They just do a Ton of shit you should never do, and there's really nothing that they've done that you can point to, and say, "Yes that stands tall next to the best parts of the franchise." I mean love or hate the Japanese transformers stuff you cant say that any of it is considered to be in the best eschalon of the Franchise.
@@professormeme2457 Cant really say that there is, I like IDW's interpretation of Starsaber where he's evil. Oh I like IDW's interpretation of Deathsauras where he's the only Decepticon General who cares about his troops... Outside those two who probably don't even count, I can't think of any.
@@PerspectiveEnd others would disagree. However, there’s one part most haven’t touched on. My main issue with IDW Star saber isn’t the new interpretation, but his screen-time. After Mtmte issue 21, he doesn’t come back until Lost light 12, years after his debut. No spotlight issues, no long lasting rivalry between him and Cyclonus, despite establishing such, and no development whatsoever. Again, I don’t mind the change, but he really didn’t do anything noteworthy. What do you think?
@@professormeme2457 I think he definitely could have stood to have shown up more than he did. There's just enough to establish why Cyclonus would hate him, but not to create a real rivalry. I think he just works better as a villain. His look is a little boring as a hero, tweaked ever so slightly and he made a good bad guy in terms of appearance. Plus if you are going to have a guy who's too powerful for reason, they work better as a bad guy, because then the good guys have to over come him. He's definitely toned down in IDW but he can still slash apart a Combiner with ease. As a villain I like him, as a hero with an adopted human son I hate him.
I wish Firebird had released the Arcee face for Nicee. I get WHY they changed the head last minute (There was a scare about HasTak cracking down on 3P anything), but it still doesn’t feel great…
@Konstantins Zelcs There are whinier and more useless characters in the universe, hell there are some in the Transformers no less. But he's still not a good thing to have appended to you for survival.
Went back to this, forgetting if Titans Return Arcee (which I just got and love for being a departure, and more of a mix of Prime and G1 Arcees in feel, giving me that confident Sailor Jupiter or Venus feminine confident older sister look) was included. Oh well, but not surprised it doesn't count, coz it's not originally an Arcee mold, which is perfectly fair. No arguments there. Now, not the biggest fan of classic Princess Leia Arcee design to begin with, but yes, Legends still best G1 Arcee toy at CHUG scale/"mom" Arcee, compared to "confident action big sis" TR Arcee. So much so that I'm breaking my personal rule of "no double dipping on a character unless it's an upgraded form" and I still plan to get a Legends Arcee down the line, once I clear my preorders and checklist. Gonna be a "bit" costly, but I respect that mold too much to not want it, even if she won't be the one to play my Arcee character. Forgot to mention in the Generations video, but T30/Legends Arcee has another point to it that makes it beyond superior to Earthrise, and it's in this article. You'll appreciate yours even more after reading it, if you haven't heard about this detail about it before. tformers.com/generations-arcee-the-amazing-origin-of-one-of-the-longest-awaited-classics-toys/25012/news.html
Hi so iv been watching your content from the earthrise video which I think does go over good points like the paint isn't really that great at all, but I still think its good which doesn't mean anything its just my opinion and honestly at first I didn't like your content but now I find it really funny. Also going back now I see that I might have to go back and get some of the siege figures I skipped on (Hound and sideswipe/red alert) seeing as I never really liked siege but they look like great figure. Also I get why you don't like shell/partsforming I don't care for either as I think shellforming isn't that bad, but partsforming is kinda annoying but I wouldn't say it ruins a figure but I get why you would say that.
Thank you. I always love seeing people who like me in spite of the difference in our opinions, and I'm glad I'm making something you are able to enjoy. And yeah, Hound is a great figure, and Sideswipe is a really good one. I wish his elbows bent a little more, but that's pretty low on the totem pole of problems.
You neeed to make a What's the Best Arcee 2 when the SS ROTB Arcee comes out(actually I am pretty certain it's already out and that you just haven't bought her, which speaking of, will you be buying any SS ROTB figures?).
@Nyx Lotus I’m relatively new only started collecting in September 2020 but yeah I’ve seen some... stuff Cough cough ss01 bumblebee ss40 shatter cough cough
I'm not relatively new, I just fell out of it for a while. I had as far as I can tell EVERY Beastwars figure, and almost every Armada figure, I stopped some time before 2006 for about a decade, so I'm new on the Return, but old on the over all.
4:57 wait you acknowledge the KR series. Another reason to like this channel. But seriously. They could have done WAY better for the engineering for the mp arcee
I don't know why I didn't click on the time stamp you put, I was confused, and looking up Transformers KR. Yeah they could have, but they weren't willing to touch one single curve on her body, so they couldn't incorporate he vehicle mode into her robot body at all.
@@ratchetmechani2002 Huh, if I had that figure, I wonder how low it would place. It's not a great representation of the look, the Transformation blows, and it's just ugly. The ER might have competition.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah. As good as Generations looks though, I'm sticking to Animated Arcee. Transformations fun, doesn't have as much of a chin as other Animated designs, and even if it's more a darker shade of pink, I think I prefer it. I recommend finding one, it'd be neat to see you cover it.
@@ratchetmechani2002 I wouldn't be opposed to it, she definitely has one of the few good looking designs from Animated. Seriously the Tick chins on everyone ruins the whole look of the show.
Well there is no Voice changer. I think what you are hearing is an echo that came from the fact that the stand on my microphone couldn't get closer to where I was while reading the script so there is a metallicy distortion it's doing to my voice. I have since gotten a boom arm so now the microphone is up on me, and my voice is clearer. As for the difficulty you are having with the speed, what some people have said helps is slowing the video down to .75% speed. I've listened to it like that and it sounds good basically no distortion.
i do think arcees design is somewhat hard to do in figure form cause they make her sexy for a robot in my point of view at least however i do get what your saying. iam a little biassed cause arcee is my fav charater besides prime and hot rod and stuff.
The problem is that this format is typically trying to find what's the best interpretation of the classic version of the character. And Nicee is not the classic version of the character.
The moment I saw the first Review on the Earthrise Arcee, I knew it was going to be an Easy pass... The Takara Legends is the best by far on the mainline figures. The Elita One and Life line look much better for that mold, even Life line which is just a repaint, the paint job makes it look much better. Arcee... Why Arcee for that mold? It doesn´t even look like the one on the Netflix show... it´s a bad retool of Elita one. It is Obvious to know by this point, that mold was intended for Elita 1, not Arcee...
While I agree that the Arcee is the worst use of the mold, I can't help but disagree that it was supposed to be Elita one. Elita one while not always as Swole as she was in PoTP is usually a much heavier set character than the positively scrawny, ERcee mold, and the car mode is obviously supposed to be Arcees, just a bad rendition of it. So I feel like Elita one is the Retool, and she just happened to be a better one than the real thing.
Nope same as before. Mics are witch craft though, and sound quality shifts depending on what day it is, also my mic auto balances when there are loud noises, and I did a LOT of yelling in this video, so it might have been confused as to how to interpret the audio.
Yeah. As terrible as that Arcee is, she just doesn't have the impact of Cliff cause she didn't fail me like he did. This never could have been good. That had the potential to be.
I actually have the Chromia Retool of the TFP Arcee, and I planned on including her in the Video originally months ago, but then the Peach Girl happened, and she took the Chromia's place. Then I realized I didn't want to spoil the surprise of Peach Girl, so I just made the thumb nail as I had planned in the first place, and thought maybe people would think it would be a discussion on the character rather than the figure, so they'd be surprised by the episode.
@@PerspectiveEnd aha. Ok them, also since we are on the of the TFP, there is no question or douth in saying, you don t like TFP (or at least the show) at all.... But Im curioes is there anything TFP related that you honestly like? One episode, character, idea, figure anything in that case? (and don t worry Im not a TFP psycofan who will Burn, tear you arms and legs, and them later trow you ALIVE in to Unicrons tailpipe for dissliking it 😁... But still, from all the shows raging from "meh" to "Energon WTF" whats your reason for hateing TFP specifickly ?)
@@dedalionarts6077 Knock Out was fantastic and tons of fun, and every time he was on screen I was smiling. I could have sworn you asked me about this, all I'm willing to say right now, because I plan on making a video on this at some point, is that Miko and Wheeljack are two of the worst characters I've ever had to suffer through. But there are tons more reasons.
@@PerspectiveEnd ok them, and yes I asked about that ealier because as I sayed, Im curioes.... Besides Paperplane you are they only other UA-camr (or in that case the only UA-camr) that really, REALLY DISSLI- scrath that, hate this show.. And my suprize to this comes from.. Well... At least from what I had seen and heard, the show was usually "dicent" at there WORST, and more often ok/good at there best ... (but them again I don t speak with or read anything or anyone On TF forums, so what do I really known 🤷♂️..) Also last question for now. Are the 13 Primes as an idea REALLY that hated? Like, hated to the same extend as you hatered toward ER Arcee? Or is this going to be like with Prime aka. "A topic for a video later" ? (and don t worry, Im not mad, too bad for me you don t talk about this now, but o well, Im just gonna wait because, what eals can I do 🤷♂️).. Non the less, thanks for responding...
@@dedalionarts6077 No no, nothing like that, trust me, when you finally do hear my reasonings, you will be hard pressed to not understand why I don't like the show.
Honestly since the review of big tiddi arcee I have been waiting for the review of the figure with transformation worse than mp36 you briefly mentioned at the end
That's still coming. Glad you remembered, I was wondering if any one did, but I need a special occasion, to attempt to cope with that Nightmare on Camera.
I think people's issue with Arcee is that she looks like a pretty human and not really like a robot, especially in comparison to some of the other male TF characters. (but some of the other female characters get the same treatment so...idk) Anyway I enjoyed the review!
MMC Arcee is the best in my opinion. I really don't know why Nicee didn't ship with the original head they showed for her. For me that was hands down the best looking Arcee head of all Arcees out there. I didn't like the rest of the Nicee figure though and when they didn't even go with the head they first showed I had less than zero interest in that figure. The nicest thing I can say is that the car mode does look okay. Still I think the last release of Arcee from MMC with the more magenta pink was their best version.
I believe the reason they didn't go with the actual RC head is because they were afraid of getting sued. And the MMC does look the best. the fans toys looks awful and that other one with the weird stiletto shoes is weird.
Generations Arcee my faworite. But I do not LG as I think it is boring in terms of appearance. Regarding the ER, I agree. Most likely, people praise this garbage because it is easy to get it. I can't find any other explanation for the situation. And if we talk about the best, then I would call it the Ocular Max.
People tell me that slowing down the video to .75% speed makes me easier to understand if you are having difficulty, I've tried it, and it doesn't sound bad at all.

OH NO YOU"RE LIKE JACK YOU WANNA FUCK THE MOTORCYCLE!!! I didn't see her much in the OG Cartoon. I've watched the movie plenty of times but I just cant get through season 3. Still prefer her over the Prime though. I don't see her voice as anything special. And I don't care about Motorcycles at all. Plus I find the Prime Designs all very bland. I can't think of a one that I passionately like the look of from Prime...
@@PerspectiveEnd I can understand that I just prefer her voice in prime over her voice in the G1 cartoon and I also under stand the thing with the prime designs, they can seem almost bland compared so some other designs Also I just find motorcycles to be cooler and her weapons to be very nice, I’ve always liked transformers with arm blades for weapons, I think it is because of the live action Optimus Prime and his BADASS arm blades
I don't quite have the same view of Optimus built in swords the same as you. Personally all I see when I look at them is how much less functional they are than a normal sword. Like just think about blocking someone else's blade with them. Their blade just slides down until they are cutting through your arm and chopping your own blade off your body. Plus I really don't like Inbuilt weaponry on most characters. For Characters like the Dinobots where they are purpose built weapons of war it makes sense, but normal people no so much, and it really limits story telling possibility because how can any one be captured if they can at any point just chose to be a weapon them selves.
Fair enough, I have to agree in some cases like I never understand why the shockwaves, the G1 and prime, don’t build new hands. They are scientists not war machines they need two hands. I do see the reasoning behind the swords no being as affective, I think I fell in love with the concept after revenge of the fallen when prime went 3 v 1 and used his arm blades to kick ass
There's actually a complicated reason for that, I was going to originally have the Chromia Retool of that Arcee in the video as a stand in for that figure, as they are based on the Arcee mold, but then I decided to add the ERcee at the last moment, so I just threw out that chunck of the script and swapped her in, but I didn't want to change the thumb nail because I didn't want to give away the other two figures in the video.
I currently don't have the money, so I'm not interested in buying it currently, but can someone for the love of god tell me who tf is this Grimlock? I've searched every website, scrolled through Google images and I can't find him anywhere. Who made him and why aren't we praising them for the blessing that they brought upon this world? I wanna say it's Magic Square, but since I can't find him and MS is a well known company, I can accept the possibility that it may be from someone else.
I got Elita-1 instead of Arcee, and although the transformation is still HORRID, the head sculpt and colours are more pleasing. Earthrise Arcee's transformation has to be THE WORST I have ever seen, I hope Hasbro learns from it.
You have made the correct decision on which version of the mold you picked up. It's still not a good mold, but you got the non-doofy looking one. So that's a serious improvement.
Well she wasn't exactly on the docket for the video, and even if I had her figure (Which I kind of do, I have the Chromia Retool of it) it would not have placed too highly. It's decent. But it cant exactly compete, though no one won this time so who knows.
They proved with Animated that it was possible to have an Arcee that looks like her G1 self but actually transforms, but since then they've just gotten more and more shellformer-y.
Yeah for what ever reason, there is a brigade of people who have erased memories of good Arcee figures, and argue that we shouldn't expect better, and it's the most frustrating thing.
I’ve never really liked arcees design, with the human female proportion instead of the typically more cubic designs and I never really liked the futuristic car design that never looks quite rite with the realistic 84 or 85 casts. The only design I actually like was the terminator crossover that actually looks like a real world car and actually uses car pieces for the design
I like her design fine, but I do think it could stand to be a little less human, so more of the car mode can fit into her body.
@Zip Zop Yeah I think everyone is pretty much in the same boat except for Hasbro. Arcee could stand to be a little more robot.
ER Arcee is so half-baked, rereleasing the 30th version would have seemed more efficient than lazy.
Seriously that would have been a good idea, maybe retool it a little so the backpack compresses a little more, or just incorporate what the KOs did, and make the backpack detachable as a shield, and we'd have been happy.
To be fair they did just kind of re-release the Classics Starscream again.
Listening to Blur rant about Arcee figures is kinda cool
Well there's plenty more where that came from, so stick around my friend.
Okay that little chibi Arcee is adorable. Most precious transformer. I'm buying that right now.
I wish someone made a toy of that design on the left of the Thumbnail
There are 3D printed versions of it. Some as an Upgrade Kit to the ERcee.
I'm guessing that next review is the Takara Legends Blackarachnia. Hoping for "Love me senpai" 2
That was not the plan, but that figure does need a video of some sort dedicated to it. Also back when, I did want that to be something my channel got known for.
I just love the part with the little Arce and he’s just like it’s soooooo CutE then he looks at his shelf grabs his mini grimlock and is just like ThERe sO CUtE I have never agreed with someone so much or laughed that much this month
They needed to be cute together, this was not an negotiable.
Agreed
The only too cee’s I have are the energon one which is alright for a legends battle figure, if not a bit awkward in the arms, and cyberverse arcee, who while I like, certainly isn’t for everyone, also she’s been brought down a few pegs since she broke on me less than 2 days after I got her (I fixed her btw)
The Cyberverse Arcee reminds me of Joan Rivers. And that sucks man. I think you can still find KOs of the Generations figure, and that's actually an improvement cause they re-engineered it so it's got Optional Partsforming if you want to make a shield out of the back pack.
Personaly I prefer when Arcee figures have pink face over white. And I think that a reason you like the Generations it's because her light piping is awesome.
You know you are talking to me right? PerspectiveEnd, the Anti-Thew, Hater of Light Piping.
Just came here, after getting the Metallic Peach Girl and seeing the reveal for SS 86 Arcee. I can't wait to hear your thoughts
I will have them for you soon.
Nice video! Watched it while I was sanding and priming 3 NICEE heads that I 3D printed like a year ago. She's the best Arcee figure I have right now. People just don't know that she is just so freaking posable that it's hard to put her down one you start bending her in badass action poses! And the absolute worst is that damn Kingdom/Earthrise Arcee. I deshelled her so I would NEVER have to transform her ever again. The figure is actually much more enjoyable like this lol.
I too have removed the ERcee shell, and yeah she's better as a non transforming RED figure.
I bought an Arcee head for the Nicee on Ebay almost a year ago, and I still haven't received it.
I originally thought that Deluxe Class Thunderblast from TF Cybertron was the worst shellformer of all time, but then I saw Earthrise Arcee and I am so glad that the bottom of Thunderblast's vehicle mode actually closes up, unlike Arcee
Hilariously enough that figure was also used to make an Arcee. She seem's perpetually doomed to be a Shellformer.
@@PerspectiveEnd Eratum, the mold was use for Elita-one, but it's remind that she was unlucky with their toys.
The IDW Arcee on the thumbnail makes me wish we had an actual toy of it. An unlicensed company needs to get in on this, hopefully a good company like MMC.
I know right, the Terminator crossover version of her was so sick.
Please do a review on the Magic Square Peach Girl.(SHE'S SO F***ING CUTE!)
I intended to do that a very VERY long time ago, and then just didn't for some reason.
@@PerspectiveEnd Oh.
The generations Arcee can be upgraded using the arms from the earthrise arcee, the upper arm pieces can swap using the same mushroom peg. This allows her to hold all weapons from siege and their original weapons. It doesn’t even hinder her transformation. Just recently bought the Idw paint version cause I’m not quite willing to fork over the $90 for the takara version now.
Huh, I never considered this.
@@PerspectiveEnd honestly it’s one of the only good uses of the soap bar of a shell former that is earthrise arcee lol, and my hot take is that it’s still a decent figure XD
Aww I love that little Arcee!!! 💖💖💖💖
Just wish her Earthrise toy was better bruh.
Arcee needs better toys for years to come and hopefully in the near future, I might get my right for my own Netflix Transformers series and give her a great toy. 💞
Anyway, love the review.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it, and she's had a few good toys, like the Generations figure, but for some reason people just cant get her altmode to work out properly.
An expensive deluxe for the next review, I’m gonna guess it’s an old classics figure or like one of the rarer or exclusive prime wars figures like punch or misfire
You are the first person to actually make a guess. I wish I'd included a line where I said no one will ever guess right, because you will NEVER guess correctly, but it's gonna be special, you only have to wait till tomorrow to find out what it is.
Can we get an "Perspective End vs ER-cee compilation" from a fan? WE NEEEEEED IIIIIIT!
Yes please someone do this!
Hey perspective you gonna talk about the leaks for kingdom?
Planning on it. I'm hoping they do official releases on Friday. I've got the Videos for next week planned till that point, so if they do the drops on Friday, I'll have better pictures and more information to look at.
@@PerspectiveEnd kingdom ercee review when? 😂
@@scottdickson6299 NEVER!!!
Since Prime Arcee is in the thumbnail, I do say that at least in comparison to other transformers figures it's good. Basically all the articulation you could want, accurate as ever, a good amount of extras. But the head sculpt is kind of bland and there is no optional extras, and in comparison to similar figures from other lines the articulation is hell of lacking for the sake of packing the box with accessories. It has two kind of sword effects and an energon cube with a bite in it, and I would gladly give them for an alternate head with a more expressing face like the character deserves.
She was actually in the thumb nail cause in the original video as planned, her retool into Chromia would have made an appearance, but then she was bumped out by ERcee.
There is now a MS Optimus in the style of Peach Girl, called Truck Boy.
I believe I have that one. Unless the just gotten or something?
@@PerspectiveEnd I don't actually know when it came out, but I would guess you have it.
On the money again. The Generations Arcee was fantastic! Very underrated transformer. Also the "Prime" Arcee is very stellar.
Yeah Generations Arcee is great, and I have the Chromia retool of Prime Arcee, it's pretty solid.
Make a video of everything you have to say about earthrise Arcee, also congrats on 500 almost 600 subs.
I was just thinking about doing that.
@@PerspectiveEnd I didn't expect a reply this quickly
@Blackbirds singing in the dead of night I feel like that might get mean spirited very quickly, it would mean that I have to keep her, and I think it's funnier when I beat them up.
Many conflicting emotions there.
just realized your sub count, congrats on 600 subs
I know it's crazy, it's been 120 in 1 week, and thanks.
If the Earthrise Arcee was just a pink/white repaint of the fembot mold that was used for Novastar, Moonracer, Greenlight, Lancer, Chromia and Nightbird, then it would have been better. My honestly opinion.
It would have, but it wouldn't have been Earthy at all, so we got a bad figure in the name of G1.
What is that magic square chibi grimlock called? And how much does it cost? I like to collect grimlock figures when they are actually good.
It's called the Hero Hobby Tiny Rex, It's unclear what their link with Magic Sqaure is, but I've seen it listed as one of their products.
Sadly you can still find their Ultra Magnus, but you can't find the Tiny Rex anywhere, Not even Ebay has any. I think everyone one who wanted one bought one, and I probably got one of the last available ones.
Sorry.
@@PerspectiveEnd eh, it’s fine. I just think it would have been a cute novelty to have.
@@stoopanimation53 It is exactly that and I love mine, I wish someone would make more.
@@PerspectiveEnd it would be pretty cool to get a tiny grimlock like that. I really want to get a legends grimlock, but the only decent one I’ve seen so far is one from1989 for about 100 bucks, and I’m not going to waste my hard earned cash on that.
@@PerspectiveEnd hm. Even if there was one on eBay, it looks like it would be 50 dollars, and I’m not going to pay that for a legends figure, even if the engineering is great.
Shellforming can be good if it's done well. The Prime Vehicon is a shellformer, but it's executed brilliantly.
Funny you say that, there's a video out tomorrow you might be interested in.
Where Tf do I get that cute grimlock
It is called the Hero Hobby Tiny Rex, and it's been about 3 years since I bought it so just about the only place you will find it is Ebay.
I found two listings for it.

7:41 you’ve actually kept your word here xD
I don't often mention it, but yeah.
I’m pretty sure earthrise Arcee is 5% robot, 95% backpack and 100% shellforming
Those sound like accurate numbers.
And 1000% BS
Honestly all those arcees have a caviat to me. Generations if u can tolerate the tremendous backpack, firebird if you like the sexy aesthetic, magic square if like the cute look and Earthrise of you can tolerate shellforming and parts forming at the same time.
Also on ER if you can tolerate an even Bigger Backpack than the generations.
And yeah, that's why at the end I kind of came away with Equal winners. Like I just cant say that any one of these has any more claim to the perfect Arcee than the others.
Except the Earthrise. That's not the perfect anything, unless it's the perfect monster.
@@PerspectiveEnd for you the perfect monster for me the perfect mehsterpiece
@@Fatalious You stole that from me. I expect 1 million dollars in compensation, and a written apology.
@@PerspectiveEnd the term mehsterpiece is a non copyrighted word so u can’t sue me unless you somehow purchase the rights to say such thing
just for asking, but what's wrong with partsforming/shellforming?
also, I own the masterpiece and I personally think she's the same damn transformation is that but better
Same as the ER or the Generations?
Why put the new prime Arcee on your thumbnail? To get some easy clicks?
No actually, I've had the Idea for this thumbnail in my head since I started doing whats the best. In the original planned version of this video, I was going to use my Chromia Retool of that Arcee as a stand in for her, but then the Peach girl got announced, and Chromia got bumped out of the running, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise for the Peach Girl so I just kept the old Thumbnail design.
Prime arcee looks cool from others
Prime Arcee is definitely a different design.
@Blackbirds singing in the dead of night Yeah I don't consider them to be the same characters, they don't share even one Trait outside both being girls.
Thank you. You have just givin me an honest review of RC -i know the name is spelled diffrent and don't care- many reviewers I watch just keep putting a positive spin on the product. Many tell me that RC is a good figure, but after watching this I am no longer sure I want to get it. Though, my Seige Springer is lonely... but wait! Is not there a Kingdom RC coming out next year? Maybe the mold will be better? maybe.....
The Kingdom Arcee is an unchanged Re-release. I know there are KOs of the Generations figure that let you remove the back pack as a Shield, so considering the actual figure is out of print you could look into getting that.
No shame in getting a KO when the official product is impossible to support.
Even when I truly hate something, it feels bad to talk someone out of wanting something, but I refuse to say stuff I don't believe.
It's not my job to like something, it's that things job to make me like it, and if it fails at that, I will say it.
@@PerspectiveEnd Hmm.. I may do that if the figure fits into my collection size wise. How does it pair with springer? and yes i am one of those people that see springer and rc in a relationship.. botlishp? erg well whatever it is it ain't sexual lols :)
I got a studio series thunder cracker and it got lost in the mail luckily though it got found and I got it and man it is badass
Glad to hear that you didn't get screwed there, and that you enjoy the figure.
@@PerspectiveEnd thank you and you should now that it is a reuse of the nitro Zeus mold that you hate
If the chibi cute Arcee pink color replace with red, she'll look an Ultraman or Ultrawoman
Maybe they will do an Elita 1 Retool of her and she'll get those colors.
@@PerspectiveEnd heck yeah, I'm down for that
100% agree with you but...
Grimlock is more cute
"me Grimlock love arcee"
Let me put this argument to bed. They are both Dorb as Fuck.
@@PerspectiveEnd sure i can live with that
Honestly I'd pick the earthrise over the generations arcee because at least it stands up. I've had 4 generations arcee's and they were floppy messes that kept falling apart on me. My copy of earthrise isn't floppy and except for the the detachable backpack, nothing falls apart
Weird, sorry to hear that, mines got tight joints.
@@PerspectiveEnd it pisses me of considering I I think the generations arcee is the better figure from what I've seen but every copy I've got just didn't want to stand. When I've got the time, I'm going to do some paint work on the earthrise arcee so it looks like the Generations Japanese version.
Gotta agree about Earthrise Arcee. That figure is _GODAWFUL_ bad, and the plastic on it looks really cheap. The car mode looks like a ladies' bar of soap, the shell tabs are really flimsy & a PITA to fiddle with, and those skinny-ass bicycle tires... I could go on but it's just cheap junk. I do think the hands-down best Arcee is the EX-01. More of a "based on" than a real derivative, but it's extremely well designed; Big Firebird did something really special with that one.
The bar of Soap part made me laugh, you definitely aren't wrong.
My friend did a joke where he made ER Arcee a 1 step changer and I laughed my ass off for like a solid 5 minutes.
I'm guessing he just drove the pin holding her backpack on out, and then did a switcheroo on her and the separated backpack.
@@PerspectiveEnd well he just transformed the backpack and then flipped her over.
@@BunnyGirlMet That works too.
@@PerspectiveEnd or... as another one of my friends put it... transform the back kibble and rip it off in one step.
@@BunnyGirlMet Yep. That's basically how she works.
I just got Earthrise Arcee and i like her quite a lot. That's just me, though.
The world truly has gone mad. Hey like what you like, but I can't. Not this.
@@PerspectiveEnd I also kind of... Like Cliffjumper. And Earthrise as a whole. Still, you're finally getting some representation in SS86, Mr. Blurr. 😎
same i don"t get the hate really.
@@PerspectiveEnd i will never understand why sometimes reviewers review a figure they hat ik it is for the money and views but still very weird to me.
One time I went to a target and the only had 20 figures there and no joke 15 of them were cyberverse and kingdom arecee
They really need to release a Good Arcee eventually.
I’ve got news P, although I don’t know if it’s good or bad. I just recently saw Chefatron’s review on 86 Arcee and yeah Hasbro got SO lazy with that thing. The entire upper body works the exact same way as the Generations Arcee although it’s molded to be slimmer and the front car is also taken directly off of the Generation’s too. The lower section is different though, not the same as Ercee before you ask, and the backpack is pretty compact as in it doesn’t stick out all that much besides sticking out sideways. I don’t know how you’ll feel about it when you get it but, while I’m not usually one to call Hasbro lazy because I just accept “good enough” they just to super lazy. From what I saw, B movie Arcee still beats it. Also I finally did transform B movie for the first time and it’s pretty good, although I really can’t tell the difference between a good or a bad one, I’m weird I know.
That's about what I expected honestly, it's obviously just an upgrade or sidegrade on the original T30 Figure.
You should pick up MMC Azalea; the perfect transformation for G1 Arcee, without having a G1 sculpt.
I do love MMC, and that does seem like one of the better ones.
Since you mentioned your disdain for Japanse Transformers, I got three questions.
1. What aspects of Japanese Transformers you despise, excluding Kiss Players?
2. Where precisely did this hatred stem from?
3. Are they, in your opinion, good parts of Japanese Transformers?
Looking forward to your answer!
There are a ton of problems with Japanese Transformers.
For instance their cultural self worship.
You can bet that any character that is a Samurai, or Ninja is going to be the most powerful unstoppable character, on what ever team he's a part of, basically entirely on the virtue of it being a Japanese thing.
They also just don't Get the Transfomers. To them they treat it more like a typical mech show. Power ups, combinations, the power of friendship, a million enemies dying to a super laser that cuts a planet in half.
They take it from any grounding it had and make it into DBZ half the time.
Like why is Grimlock more dangerous than Optimus. Because he's bigger, and built with heavier armor and more weapons. Why is Skylynx more dangerous than Grimlock, because he's massive, and built with heavier armor and stronger weapons. Why is Metroplex more dangerous than Skylynx, because he's titanic.
But if we are talking a Japanese serries, Why is Starsaber more dangerous than Megatron... Because he's mastered Chi and the way of the Warrior.
They also tend to include just stuff that's embarrassing to be associated with. Characters who are beyond cartoonish levels of camp, old robots who like to crotch thrust, and yes romantic relationships between 10 year old girls and 10 million year old robots.
And they RUINED Beast Wars when they imported it. They turned the best written most dramatic and somber pieces of Transformers media into a low brow comedy, where all the characters had wacky personalities, and Megatron was a moronic hick, who burped and spit all the time.
They just do a Ton of shit you should never do, and there's really nothing that they've done that you can point to, and say, "Yes that stands tall next to the best parts of the franchise."
I mean love or hate the Japanese transformers stuff you cant say that any of it is considered to be in the best eschalon of the Franchise.
Are there at least some characters you like from Japanese Transformers? Excluding Star saber and every bot who uses ‘chi’ or Energon Power.
@@professormeme2457 Cant really say that there is, I like IDW's interpretation of Starsaber where he's evil.
Oh I like IDW's interpretation of Deathsauras where he's the only Decepticon General who cares about his troops...
Outside those two who probably don't even count, I can't think of any.
@@PerspectiveEnd others would disagree. However, there’s one part most haven’t touched on.
My main issue with IDW Star saber isn’t the new interpretation, but his screen-time. After Mtmte issue 21, he doesn’t come back until Lost light 12, years after his debut.
No spotlight issues, no long lasting rivalry between him and Cyclonus, despite establishing such, and no development whatsoever.
Again, I don’t mind the change, but he really didn’t do anything noteworthy. What do you think?
@@professormeme2457 I think he definitely could have stood to have shown up more than he did.
There's just enough to establish why Cyclonus would hate him, but not to create a real rivalry.
I think he just works better as a villain. His look is a little boring as a hero, tweaked ever so slightly and he made a good bad guy in terms of appearance.
Plus if you are going to have a guy who's too powerful for reason, they work better as a bad guy, because then the good guys have to over come him.
He's definitely toned down in IDW but he can still slash apart a Combiner with ease.
As a villain I like him, as a hero with an adopted human son I hate him.
I love how much he hates the earth rise Arcee.
I also have a lot of venom for the Cliffjumper.
I herd that.
@@tylorgaming5747 Stick around you'll see much more ERcee and Cliffjumper abuse in the future.
@@PerspectiveEnd okay I will.
I wish Firebird had released the Arcee face for Nicee. I get WHY they changed the head last minute (There was a scare about HasTak cracking down on 3P anything), but it still doesn’t feel great…
Yeah, it feels incomplete with the wrong head.
@@PerspectiveEnd maybe one day they’ll rerelease this with a G1 Arcee head and colorscheme.
Titans return, because headmaster Daniel
That always offended me so much as a Kid, Daniel's armor didn't change at all, yet some how it becomes Arcees head. Bullshit.
@@PerspectiveEnd I liked her as a headmaster with Daniel, as if it’s the only thing keeping him alive from his injuries inflicted from Snapdragon
@@johngolles342 Yes but like he's a human, like couldn't she just have his power armor do the job without him inside it.
@Konstantins Zelcs There are whinier and more useless characters in the universe, hell there are some in the Transformers no less.
But he's still not a good thing to have appended to you for survival.
@@PerspectiveEnd no, it’s acting as his life support system after SnapDragon almost killed him
Went back to this, forgetting if Titans Return Arcee (which I just got and love for being a departure, and more of a mix of Prime and G1 Arcees in feel, giving me that confident Sailor Jupiter or Venus feminine confident older sister look) was included.
Oh well, but not surprised it doesn't count, coz it's not originally an Arcee mold, which is perfectly fair. No arguments there.
Now, not the biggest fan of classic Princess Leia Arcee design to begin with, but yes, Legends still best G1 Arcee toy at CHUG scale/"mom" Arcee, compared to "confident action big sis" TR Arcee.
So much so that I'm breaking my personal rule of "no double dipping on a character unless it's an upgraded form" and I still plan to get a Legends Arcee down the line, once I clear my preorders and checklist.
Gonna be a "bit" costly, but I respect that mold too much to not want it, even if she won't be the one to play my Arcee character.
Forgot to mention in the Generations video, but T30/Legends Arcee has another point to it that makes it beyond superior to Earthrise, and it's in this article. You'll appreciate yours even more after reading it, if you haven't heard about this detail about it before.

Hi so iv been watching your content from the earthrise video which I think does go over good points like the paint isn't really that great at all, but I still think its good which doesn't mean anything its just my opinion and honestly at first I didn't like your content but now I find it really funny. Also going back now I see that I might have to go back and get some of the siege figures I skipped on (Hound and sideswipe/red alert) seeing as I never really liked siege but they look like great figure. Also I get why you don't like shell/partsforming I don't care for either as I think shellforming isn't that bad, but partsforming is kinda annoying but I wouldn't say it ruins a figure but I get why you would say that.
Thank you. I always love seeing people who like me in spite of the difference in our opinions, and I'm glad I'm making something you are able to enjoy.
And yeah, Hound is a great figure, and Sideswipe is a really good one. I wish his elbows bent a little more, but that's pretty low on the totem pole of problems.
@@PerspectiveEnd as of making this congrats on 600 subs I decided to rewatch this video and saw the number
@@masontheawesome9898 Thank you for your continued support, I hope I never stop making stuff my fans can enjoy.
You neeed to make a What's the Best Arcee 2 when the SS ROTB Arcee comes out(actually I am pretty certain it's already out and that you just haven't bought her, which speaking of, will you be buying any SS ROTB figures?).
I don't know of that I'm going to bother putting in the ROTB Arcee. There's no way that wins. It wont even a place respectably.
I think the speech about earthrise arcee was a little overboard
@Nyx Lotus I’m relatively new only started collecting in September 2020 but yeah I’ve seen some... stuff Cough cough ss01 bumblebee ss40 shatter cough cough
I'm not relatively new, I just fell out of it for a while. I had as far as I can tell EVERY Beastwars figure, and almost every Armada figure, I stopped some time before 2006 for about a decade, so I'm new on the Return, but old on the over all.
Hey, I was around for those figures, I just avoided them.
Those are my true feelings. I'm not playing them up. I HATE that thing, you can rest assured I won't say stuff I don't believe.
And how long until we get a What's the Best Fembot? (No specifics, just in general, that you keep to yourself whenever you feel lonely at times. :) )
Maybe one day, that's not one I though of, but might work out pretty good.
Thanks man! I was about to put my money on the wrong one!
Glad to hear I saved you from it. I've had a few people say they ignored my warnings and they regretted it.
4:57 wait you acknowledge the KR series.
Another reason to like this channel. But seriously. They could have done WAY better for the engineering for the mp arcee
I don't know why I didn't click on the time stamp you put, I was confused, and looking up Transformers KR.
Yeah they could have, but they weren't willing to touch one single curve on her body, so they couldn't incorporate he vehicle mode into her robot body at all.

He was asking for it.
I’m new to this channel and therefore I barely understood what you said. It’s only a matter of getting used to the speed and the voice changer.
Well there is no Voice changer. I think what you are hearing is an echo that came from the fact that the stand on my microphone couldn't get closer to where I was while reading the script so there is a metallicy distortion it's doing to my voice. I have since gotten a boom arm so now the microphone is up on me, and my voice is clearer.
As for the difficulty you are having with the speed, what some people have said helps is slowing the video down to .75% speed. I've listened to it like that and it sounds good basically no distortion.
I like bigfirebird nicce because it just arcee with her new helmet and she has a HONKABONKA just like coco kiryu
Massive dobonhonkeros big old Tonhongerekoogers. I want a more accurate helmet personally.
To make sure so that, hasbro don't cease and desist

Sounds like someone lied to you, and that someone was assuredly not me.
Sams forge put out a kit that makes
Ercee not a shellformer. Maybe try that
I have a look at that, but my opinion is that you should all only by upgrade kits for figure's that were already good.
I trust BBTS for getting the Thrilling 30 Arcee since it's not 40$
Oh yeah crap they still have it in stock.
i do think arcees design is somewhat hard to do in figure form cause they make her sexy for a robot in my point of view at least however i do get what your saying. iam a little biassed cause arcee is my fav charater besides prime and hot rod and stuff.
Nicee in my opinion is the best arcee good video
The problem is that this format is typically trying to find what's the best interpretation of the classic version of the character. And Nicee is not the classic version of the character.
The moment I saw the first Review on the Earthrise Arcee, I knew it was going to be an Easy pass... The Takara Legends is the best by far on the mainline figures. The Elita One and Life line look much better for that mold, even Life line which is just a repaint, the paint job makes it look much better. Arcee... Why Arcee for that mold? It doesn´t even look like the one on the Netflix show... it´s a bad retool of Elita one. It is Obvious to know by this point, that mold was intended for Elita 1, not Arcee...
While I agree that the Arcee is the worst use of the mold, I can't help but disagree that it was supposed to be Elita one.
Elita one while not always as Swole as she was in PoTP is usually a much heavier set character than the positively scrawny, ERcee mold, and the car mode is obviously supposed to be Arcees, just a bad rendition of it.
So I feel like Elita one is the Retool, and she just happened to be a better one than the real thing.
Might I recommend a channel if you haven’t seen it yet?
And what channel would that be.

I couldn't care less about Shell forming on any figure tbh. The transformation doesn't really matter to me. As long as we're not doing partsforming.
Transformation is one of the 3 things I care most about, but hey at least we can agree on partsforming.
I don’t mind part froming but that’s probably because I like power rangers more
I used to own Generations Arcee but her leg broke off :(
Sorry to hear that.
I have a feeling that you have a new mic
Nope same as before. Mics are witch craft though, and sound quality shifts depending on what day it is, also my mic auto balances when there are loud noises, and I did a LOT of yelling in this video, so it might have been confused as to how to interpret the audio.
7:33 funny how that “nemesis role” went to ER-Jumper instead of ERcee.
Yeah. As terrible as that Arcee is, she just doesn't have the impact of Cliff cause she didn't fail me like he did.
This never could have been good. That had the potential to be.
Interesting video, but quec question, why you put the TF Prime Arcee in the video cover, if she didn t show up/wasn t used in the video?
I actually have the Chromia Retool of the TFP Arcee, and I planned on including her in the Video originally months ago, but then the Peach Girl happened, and she took the Chromia's place. Then I realized I didn't want to spoil the surprise of Peach Girl, so I just made the thumb nail as I had planned in the first place, and thought maybe people would think it would be a discussion on the character rather than the figure, so they'd be surprised by the episode.
@@PerspectiveEnd aha. Ok them, also since we are on the of the TFP, there is no question or douth in saying, you don t like TFP (or at least the show) at all....
But Im curioes is there anything TFP related that you honestly like?
One episode, character, idea, figure anything in that case?
(and don t worry Im not a TFP psycofan who will Burn, tear you arms and legs, and them later trow you ALIVE in to Unicrons tailpipe for dissliking it 😁... But still, from all the shows raging from "meh" to "Energon WTF" whats your reason for hateing TFP specifickly ?)
@@dedalionarts6077 Knock Out was fantastic and tons of fun, and every time he was on screen I was smiling.
I could have sworn you asked me about this, all I'm willing to say right now, because I plan on making a video on this at some point, is that Miko and Wheeljack are two of the worst characters I've ever had to suffer through.
But there are tons more reasons.
@@PerspectiveEnd ok them, and yes I asked about that ealier because as I sayed, Im curioes.... Besides Paperplane you are they only other UA-camr (or in that case the only UA-camr) that really, REALLY DISSLI- scrath that, hate this show..
And my suprize to this comes from.. Well... At least from what I had seen and heard, the show was usually "dicent" at there WORST, and more often ok/good at there best ... (but them again I don t speak with or read anything or anyone On TF forums, so what do I really known 🤷♂️..) Also last question for now.
Are the 13 Primes as an idea REALLY that hated? Like, hated to the same extend as you hatered toward ER Arcee?
Or is this going to be like with Prime aka. "A topic for a video later" ?
(and don t worry, Im not mad, too bad for me you don t talk about this now, but o well, Im just gonna wait because, what eals can I do 🤷♂️)..
Non the less, thanks for responding...
@@dedalionarts6077 No no, nothing like that, trust me, when you finally do hear my reasonings, you will be hard pressed to not understand why I don't like the show.
There is a upgrade kit for er arcee and it's free
I mean it's kind of free, you need a 3D printer, which I don't have, and then you need the materials which aren't free.
Honestly since the review of big tiddi arcee I have been waiting for the review of the figure with transformation worse than mp36 you briefly mentioned at the end
That's still coming. Glad you remembered, I was wondering if any one did, but I need a special occasion, to attempt to cope with that Nightmare on Camera.
I think people's issue with Arcee is that she looks like a pretty human and not really like a robot, especially in comparison to some of the other male TF characters. (but some of the other female characters get the same treatment so...idk) Anyway I enjoyed the review!
Thank you very much. There are some really cool mild tweaks for Arcee out there, but Hasbro is too short sighted to use them.
The 2 main problems with the 1st Arcee is that they did not give her a waist joint and they could have made her thighs come in closer together.
I think the loss of the waist joint and the SLIGHTLY wide thighs, are a worthy sacrifice in the name of the Transformation.
MMC Arcee is the best in my opinion.
I really don't know why Nicee didn't ship with the original head they showed for her. For me that was hands down the best looking Arcee head of all Arcees out there. I didn't like the rest of the Nicee figure though and when they didn't even go with the head they first showed I had less than zero interest in that figure. The nicest thing I can say is that the car mode does look okay. Still I think the last release of Arcee from MMC with the more magenta pink was their best version.
I believe the reason they didn't go with the actual RC head is because they were afraid of getting sued. And the MMC does look the best. the fans toys looks awful and that other one with the weird stiletto shoes is weird.
Maybe when u reach 20k subs, u can do a video destroying ERcee?
But then I wont have her there to hate on her when she is needed for that.
@@PerspectiveEnd oh yeah :/
Generations Arcee my faworite. But I do not LG as I think it is boring in terms of appearance.
Regarding the ER, I agree. Most likely, people praise this garbage because it is easy to get it.
I can't find any other explanation for the situation.
And if we talk about the best, then I would call it the Ocular Max.
LG?
I wish I had an Azalea to cover in this.
@@PerspectiveEnd LG = Takara version
I can’t keep up whit what he is saying he is so fast white his words
People tell me that slowing down the video to .75% speed makes me easier to understand if you are having difficulty, I've tried it, and it doesn't sound bad at all.
Is it cliff jumper
Well I suppose you'd find out tomorrow. Or more in 8 hours, but if it were to be, which Cliffjumper do you think it'd be?
Earth rise cliff jumper because he’s a legends figure sold for deluxe price
Generations thrilling 30 Arcee
I can see why you'd make that call.
i say find yourself an Ocular Maz Azalea, you wont regret it
I've tried, every time I look the aftermarket on them is charging like FT prices.
@@PerspectiveEnd like a godamn steam sale, gotta catch it at the right moment
whats the cute arcee from?
It's not from anything in particular. Magic Sqaure wanted to make a cute third party Arcee, so they did.
@@PerspectiveEnd ok thx
@@thatguyover9985 Did you want to know where I bought her or something?
@@PerspectiveEnd that would also be nice to know please

You got something from animated ? Prime?
I have the Chromia Retool of the Prime Arcee. Outside that Na.
You are correct sir.
Do you prefer prime or G1 arcee, I like prime because
A. Her voice is cool
B. I have a thing for motorcycles
OH NO YOU"RE LIKE JACK YOU WANNA FUCK THE MOTORCYCLE!!!
I didn't see her much in the OG Cartoon. I've watched the movie plenty of times but I just cant get through season 3. Still prefer her over the Prime though.
I don't see her voice as anything special.
And I don't care about Motorcycles at all.
Plus I find the Prime Designs all very bland. I can't think of a one that I passionately like the look of from Prime...
@@PerspectiveEnd I can understand that I just prefer her voice in prime over her voice in the G1 cartoon and I also under stand the thing with the prime designs, they can seem almost bland compared so some other designs
Also I just find motorcycles to be cooler and her weapons to be very nice, I’ve always liked transformers with arm blades for weapons, I think it is because of the live action Optimus Prime and his BADASS arm blades
I don't quite have the same view of Optimus built in swords the same as you. Personally all I see when I look at them is how much less functional they are than a normal sword. Like just think about blocking someone else's blade with them. Their blade just slides down until they are cutting through your arm and chopping your own blade off your body.
Plus I really don't like Inbuilt weaponry on most characters. For Characters like the Dinobots where they are purpose built weapons of war it makes sense, but normal people no so much, and it really limits story telling possibility because how can any one be captured if they can at any point just chose to be a weapon them selves.
Fair enough, I have to agree in some cases like I never understand why the shockwaves, the G1 and prime, don’t build new hands. They are scientists not war machines they need two hands.
I do see the reasoning behind the swords no being as affective, I think I fell in love with the concept after revenge of the fallen when prime went 3 v 1 and used his arm blades to kick ass
@@kaih_the_viewer I just cant feel the combat in those movies, camera's not stable enough to let me connect with the moments.
You put the TF Prime Arcee on the thumbnail, but she wasn’t featured in the video.
There's actually a complicated reason for that, I was going to originally have the Chromia Retool of that Arcee in the video as a stand in for that figure, as they are based on the Arcee mold, but then I decided to add the ERcee at the last moment, so I just threw out that chunck of the script and swapped her in, but I didn't want to change the thumb nail because I didn't want to give away the other two figures in the video.
I wish hasbro/takara make all female transformers toys not having a huha backpack
Huha? But yes, they really need to integrate the altmodes better.
Prime Arcee is waifu material
Well I'm glad you feel that way.
I currently don't have the money, so I'm not interested in buying it currently, but can someone for the love of god tell me who tf is this Grimlock? I've searched every website, scrolled through Google images and I can't find him anywhere. Who made him and why aren't we praising them for the blessing that they brought upon this world? I wanna say it's Magic Square, but since I can't find him and MS is a well known company, I can accept the possibility that it may be from someone else.
Sad to say the company went under long ago. I might personally have bought the last one of these EVER to be released.
I got Elita-1 instead of Arcee, and although the transformation is still HORRID, the head sculpt and colours are more pleasing. Earthrise Arcee's transformation has to be THE WORST I have ever seen, I hope Hasbro learns from it.
You have made the correct decision on which version of the mold you picked up. It's still not a good mold, but you got the non-doofy looking one. So that's a serious improvement.
The best Arcee is the Arcee from TFP
Well she wasn't exactly on the docket for the video, and even if I had her figure (Which I kind of do, I have the Chromia Retool of it) it would not have placed too highly. It's decent. But it cant exactly compete, though no one won this time so who knows.
I’ve done worse than $ 60 for a Deluxe.
As have I. My Siege Wheeljack was 100.
