>>8706163>a new take on the old designWhat exactly about it is "new", though? The T30 mold is just the same design as G1, with concessions made to make her car transformation physically possible. And the LG release gives her actual G1 colors. Hell, the Heroes box set version barely differs from LG in the color department.
>the car mode is JUST as bad as the ER oneDude, that is demonstrably incorrect. The T30 mold actually has some parts of her robot form act as parts of the car, whereas the ER mold is just a car shell over the folded up robot body. If you removed all her robot parts you would still have a complete car. Do that with T30, and you're missing a chunk of the hood as well as the rear tires. Just fucking look at pic related. One works at least somewhat as an undercarriage, the other is just Arcee showing off her side-gig as a contortionist.
>the only thing the robot mode has over ER is that the shell forming isn't quite as badThere's also the fact that ER's backpack is much larger without removing half of it from the figure, which necessitated ER Arcee's heels to extend backward an awkward amount just so she could stand straight. And the colors on LG Arcee are better and more complete, considering ER didn't bother coloring her grille, butt, or even her face beyond the eyes.
I don't understand your post. Did you come from some alternate timeline where the T30 mold was radically different? Where ER Arcee didn't have prominent problems that got pointed out as soon as preview pics were released? You aren't just making claims that are subjective opinions, you're stating things that can be proven untrue.
