Title:
Arcee With Mikaela And Skids Robot Mode
Description:
Autobot Skids / Arcee / Mikaela Banes (Human Alliance, 2009)
TakaraTomy ID number: RA-25
Known designers: Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy)
Coming with Skids and Mikaela Banes, Human Alliance Arcee is a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. As with the other Human Alliance vehicles, Mikaela can ride her in her vehicle mode.
This figure, which is somewhere in between Legends and Scout Class size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee’s Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia RS125 Mikaela is riding at one point in the movie, and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, Chromia. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it is meant to resemble Mikaela’s bike, and they called it "Arcee” so kids wouldn’t be confused by two separate red/pink bikes. Also, the face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn’t resemble ROTF Arcee’s movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to Nightbird.
Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less articulation than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.
This mold was later redecoed into Dark of the Moon Human Alliance Elita-1.
