IMO,2007 Movie Arcee is the best Arcee toy made thus far.
WHY? Because I think it's in the proper size scale. It has loads of high sculpt in both modes. decent semi-complex transformation. decent weapons. the dark pink is a few shades darker but still in homage G-1 pink colors. The engineering & poseabilty are above & beyond. I think giving arcee a mototcycle alt mode is a great update for her alt mode,as she's suspose to be more sexy,curvy & compact compared to the bigger male robots brutes. having the female short robotic hair & heart shaped lips were great final details designs on this toy. The over-all toy in both modes was giving a sculpt intended for much older kids/teens/adults & not toddlers.
The energon arcee was perfect in both modes,but failed due to it be overly too small,it was a legends toy put inside a basic sized packaging.
2009 TF Animated arcee did a decent homage G-1 alt mode for arcee. but the robot mode sculpt was very plain,generic & had no sexy curves.
ROTF Deluxe arcee,what a twisted/distorted/mispropotioned ugly disaster in sculpt,engineering & poseabilty.
TFP/BH arcee toys look decent in both modes. but the robot head sculpt looks horrible & not a homage to G-1 arcees robot head sculpt.
Binaltech arcee,looked awful because the toy given for the recolor was based off a non-female robot design.
I must admit the Botcon arcee toy was kinda awesome AS A EVOLVED ARCEE TOY,As the robot mode had similar curves that G-1 arcee had. HOWEVER THIS TOY FAILS IF ONE IS ONLY LOOKING TO BUYING A DECENT HOMAGE G-1 ARCEE NEW MOLD TOY. AS GIVING G-1 ARCEE A SPIDER ALT MODE GOES AGAINST HER G-1 PERSONA ALT MODE PREFERENCE.
