Yeesh! Let’s hope mode #3 is actually cohesive so we can forget that abomination of an alt-mode.

Now it's up to 4? Maybe they'll go all Kronoform on us and claim he has 8 or 9 on the box.

I still say Arcee looks like some sort of female counterpart to CyKill. Look into her eyes!

The listing said three altmodes. That's what Hellscreen9999 was talking about.

“POWER IS PRIMAL”

Alright, lets talk core class for the upcoming Rise of the Beast film! Starting off the year right with some new reveals, we have Core Arcee in her earth scanned vehicle form. The bike used for the alt mode was Inspired by the motorcycle form used on screen. The bike in the film is a fitting nod to the bayverse alt mode, as it is the period accurate super bike variant of the alt mode that she had in ROTF.

I partnered with Koki Yamada at TT, who quickly got to work on developing a fantastic transformation that would scale this figure appropriately amongst the bots for the film. Being a motorcycle, she was naturally a much smaller character, and with the debut of the core scale in 2022, we finally had a place to release her in the detail she deserves as one of the main autobots of the film.

Arcee brings about a classically fused deco scheme that incorporates red, white and some secondary pink highlights across her bot and alt mode. Due to the complexity of some of the forms, there were some small changes that were altered in the deco plan as it went into production. Primarily with the front chest fairing changing mold colors, there were no longer the black details on the shoulder joints left over by the base color, and the mirrors on the alt form needed to be incorporated into the white portion of the livery. Regardless, I am still very happy with how she turned out.

The overall bot design is a nice evolution of her Bumblebee movie form, and I was excited to see elements like her heel wheels being able to be used as blades get incorporated into the film. Her initial scenes shared in the trailer look awesome, and I am excited to see this smaller minibot type character come to life this summer!

NOTE: I won’t be sharing full Screen to Toy asset breakdowns prior to the films release out of respect to our studio partnerships.

What are your thoughts on ROTB Arcee? Are you excited to see join the core cast of autobots? Share below in the comments!

Alt mode looks very well sculpted though, and bot mode is kinda neat. Glad they got all the faction logos on his grill!

I don't think that's his neck. I think it's supposed to be decorative chainmail around his neck.

The kibble on the back of the alt mode bugs me, but maybe in hand I would be able to ignore it more (as is often the case when handling a toy versus scrutinizing an image for flaws)

chuckdawg1999 wrote:I'll never understand why Hasbro doesn't put its foot down with the movie designers when it comes to the models they're shown. Hasbro should tell them that whatever designs are shown have to be final so they can have the product out at the same time as the movie that LOOKS like it came from the movie. Transformers is Hasbro's property, they should have more control.
