Deluxe Arcee - TF2 Reviews

This is my fifth review and it's going to be about the Deluxe Arcee figure. It's one I've been waiting for and it has to be one of my favorites.

Look: I have to say that this is one of the coolest Deluxes from the toy line of ROTF and I'm not quite sure why people all over the web say it's so ugly in their reviews. It's the leader of the only three female robots in the movie! How can you hate the design? I do believe they went a little overboard with the color there cuz it eems more red than pink. It is kinda weird looking but atleast it's almost exactly the way Arcee dlooked like in the film and it's a well made figure in design.

Playability: Arcee is pretty playable. My only problem is that her two whels won't snap back together and I can't seem to work her back to her Ducati 848 motorcycle mode cuz everyone who's done a review on this figure on the web hasn't shown how to transform it back, all they do is show you how to transform it from motorcycleto robot which is the easy part. It's cool cuz she also has a very cool cybertronian energy bladethat pops out of her wrist in robot mode. I also like how she has the two wheels stuck together and just rides on both othem like one. She has a sidecar in motorcycle mode which i don't really think is necessary cuz she didn't have it in the movie but you can still use it as a stand for her in robot mode.

Price & Size: (I'm not doing Price & Size on this review because it's a deluxe and all deluxes are pretty much the same.)

Final Thoughts: My final thoughts on this figure are pretty positive. I don't like how the two wheels don't snap together but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't go out and get it. She's really cool and I can't wait to get the third purple sister Flare-up to add to my collection since I already have Chromia. In fact, she's a better figure than Chromia and for some reason there's this thinng goin' around that you "can combine all three of the Arcee sister toys to make a way bigger robot or something". Hope you enjoyed this review, guys. Deluxe Arcee is a must have and I strongly recommend it if you see it in stores.

Look - 5/5
Playability - 4.7/5
Price - 5/5
Size - 5/5
Total - 19.7/20



Ps. I would also really, REALLY appreciate it if you would please give me the link to a video or review that shows you how to transform Arcee from robot mode back to motorcycle.

  1. Minor error!!!!!

    It says 19.7/5 it should be 19.7/25.

    Other than that this is a very good review.

    If you get Flareup and Chromia can you do a review of there combined mode?

  3. Chromia's too boring for a review. she's an awesome figure but just about the same as the Arcee review.

  5. ya because they were originally made to combine from the film, but then they decided to drop it... it was to late for the toyline though... as the toys were already made
