Title:
Arcee 4th Robot Mode Missing Seat And Missile
Description:
Arcee (Deluxe Class, 2007)TakaraTomy ID number: MA-11Accessories: Launcher, missile.
Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references tampographed on her vehicle mode, such as her motorcycle’s fictional model name, "RC 1100" (Get it? "RC” as in "Arcee”), and her Massachusetts license plate marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.Arcee’s Automorphing feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike’s tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in robot mode is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in vehicle mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging. Probably coincidentally, Arcee is almost perfectly scaled to 3.75 inch figures like Hasbro’s own G.I. Joe, though this would put her vehicle mode more in line with the size of the larger Kawasaki Ninja than the Firebolt.As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it’s mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.
