Yeah Electramotive Smokescreen colours or nothing. I'm still not sure the MP version doesn't look cheap and plastic though. I don't mind the comic/cartoon shoulder cannons but the pics I've seen makes him look like poo poo compared to MP Prowl/Bluestreak.

How? It's the exact same mold. The colors are garish, but that's Smokescreen.

This turned out really nice. I hope the production run looks just as good. This is Perfect Effect's PE-DX02 Arranea Motobot, which is pretty apparent that it's Blackarachnia.   Part of the Robot/Vehicle mode sperates to form a cool spider drone which can hold weapons around it's mouth.  EDIT:Whoops, sorry I should've added more info.

I bought the other PE Arcee and it was REALLY fragile. I unloaded it when MMC announced their not-Arcee. This one looks like it has even more little parts that can snap at any given moment, that said it also looks really cool. But I'm getting a little burnt out on $60 - $80 5-inch Transformers.

Yes, but they aren't terribly different. Some more shiny paint here and there, for example Blitzy has a gold-ish helmet. They showed up recently so they should be easy to find if you filter the news section at TFW or Seibertron.

I know I've been awful with picture requests, but here's a photo I took of then when I checked out the Tokyo Toy show  To be honest, I didn't see much difference between the Takara and Hasbro Springers, and I actually like the Hasbro Blitzwing's yellow helmet better I think.

Here's a pic of a Metroplex that's had a panel lining wash added to it. It looked awesome enough that I may attempt it on my own once I get it:

That is a third-party version of Blackarachnia, who you may remember from Beast Wars (if you saw it, I guess), although it looks more like her Animated incarnation. I don't know who's making it or what they're calling it but it'll probably be pricey but yes, I agree, it looks sweet as hell.

I did see Beast Wars, but I was hesitant to say Blackarachnia cause her alt form was just a giant spider, and that's how I tend to remember the characters by. Looks great, but I hope the price doesn't go too high for it.

You might also want to get some info on the previous mold it's based on. It's definitely well-done but NOT for everyone. As in, it has loads and loads of separate parts.

Separate parts as in what? Like lots of cool accessories, or it's a partsformer to get it to go from motorcycle to 'bot?

MinionOfCthulhu posted:Separate parts as in what? Like lots of cool accessories, or it's a partsformer to get it to go from motorcycle to 'bot? Both actually. She partsforms like a motherfucker but each separate part has its use, so it's like cool accessories too. Technically she can go from robot to bike without any of the add-on parts but it doesn't look like a full bike. Again, it's a pretty cool toy, but a bit expensive for the size and if you don't like excessive extra parts then it's definitely not for you. I don't know if this is true but I've also read that it feels a bit fragile. Never saw any reports of it breaking so maybe it was just fan BS.

Extra weapons and if it's anything like Perfect Effect's Arcee then transformation will require a bit of parts-forming. Hopefully a review will be out soon to clarify everything.
