Possible Arcee Toy Bike?

TF08.net's mod yizhi521 has posted pictures of a blue Autobot bike that could be the robot form or a component of that form for the Arcee for Transformers 2. The current rumor is that Arcee is the merge of three different bikes colored blue, pink and purple that was custom made by RetroSBK. This idea has not been verified but is supported by the three identical dressed biker women seen on the Bethlehem set and also footage posted by Wal-Mart of the ladies on their respective bikes.

None of this is proof that the bike is Arcee. It could just be another miscellaneous character tossed in to the Transformers 2 toy line much like Depthcharge and Ransack probably are. It is interesting that I don't see any obvious hands and arms for the character however the there isn't a real transformation in the pictures. If the bike is one of three, that head sure is small. As usual, it's going to come down to more toy leaks, hopefully one in its proper packaging.

  1. Ok, this proved me that Arcee's alternate mode bikes are pink, purple and blue. But what were those red and balck bikes used in shoots?

  2. I dont know what it is but it clearly appears to be a combiner piece of a larger robot.

  3. Lol, that black swivel on the chin/neck area makes it look like it has a beard tied round a glass mirror !

  5. How do these people get these toys so early?

  6. I doubt it is a combiner. The head looks too awfully small for a robot that is gonna be made up from 3 (three) bikes. That would've been sad. Not gonna jump into conclusions here regarding the character but am impatiently waiting for more news.

  7. The bike mode is rather detailed... love the chains...

  8. Look at the piece connected to the head, below it where the muffler is. Its obviously a leg, and only one (and it has a noticeably feminine boot look to it. And on the frame area, there's a notch cut out of it, up the frame from the rear wheel, what I'd assume is the part to combine. VERY clearly a combiner. Why the small head I don't know. Maybe she has three heads? Who knows. It would seem feasible that the smaller heads are meant to be part of her mid-transform sequence (think mass shifting), or possibly they are part of her bike mode in some way (doofy I know, but hey...it worked for Scooter on the GoBots lol)

  9. That is probably just the front of her head with the rest of her head on the other bikes.

    When did they said that...?

  13. Check out from Arcee's Wikipedia article. There has been said source about Arcee redesigning.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wikipedia's the last place to find any reliable info...

    ReplyDelete
  15. please dont let this be arcee...

    ReplyDelete
  16. What did I tell you? There will be listed sources of information in few articles.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Few Wikipedia articles, I mean. Snap number 11 from in paragraph of Arcee's redesigning and choose source numbered with that number. There Roberto Orci told that Arcee hasn't same robot mode than in first movie's comics.

  18. That is not Arcee, it has a mustache.

    Ummm .. Yeah ... but he said that is where you can find the SOURCE. Unless Wikipedia is in the business of creating fake sites too as sources that they link to.

  20. The side view of the face really reminds me of Wreck-Gar.
    Could just be wishful thinking on my part, though. Don't know why they would make him a girly shade of blue.

  21. there are more photots of the constructicon on that same site in a new transformation.

  22. Here is the "Arcee" motorcycle in robot mode. He/she looks pretty cool even if it has one wheel for feet. The upper half looks awesome.

  23. Oh yeah, I found that link for the bot mode on the DM site.

    ReplyDelete
  24. That doesn't look like Arcee's full robot mode. But until other two bikes will be released, we can see which for Arcee's robot mode really look like.

  25. this no fembot. arcee had tire boobs for instance...

    From the imageshack link, it shows her as a robot already transformed. And he/she looks badass, so combiner, though still could be possible, it cannot be denied that he/she is a robot by him/herself.

  27. Dunno why but it looks a lot like Blur's face... Possible Blur appearance in the movie?

  28. Has any stopped to think that the reason that this robot has a mustache is because it might be Wreck-Gar? Sounds logical to me. G1 Wreck-Gar had a mustache and so did Transformers: Animated Wreck-Gar. What do you guys think? A mustache on Arcee wouldn't make sense to me.

  30. I was thinking maybe this IS WreckGar based on what some people have mentioned and the other 2 are Arcee and maybe Elita One or something like that. They all COULD combine but then again maybe not. Hopefully not all 3 bots transform the same but they might just to keep up with each other in bot mode (wheel foot).

    ReplyDelete
  31. maybe the three bikes are three different females, one is arcee, one is elita and one is someone else. i get moonracer from this one. not sure why though. maybe the coloring.

  32. Robot mode photo of that bike proves that it's only one part of Arcee's robot mode. It has only one leg and it has one half arm.

    You see a robot mode here?

    ReplyDelete
  34. No, but one of those comments contains a link to check things about it.

  35. I'm a bit of a motorcycle fanatic and a transformers nut so i may be able to shed light on this issue. Arcee is made up of 3 bikes. i found a very blurry set photo of a pink, purple and blue bike moving very quickly. i cant tell you exact details but there were a few things i could pick out.

    the blue bike pictured above is legit. the toy is surprisingly detailed and it has some key features that really give things away. Its a modified Suzuki B-King seen here in factory trim.

    check out the swingarm (the bit that holds on the rear wheel) and compair it to the toy bike.
    the under tail exhaust is also a dead giveaway as well as the shape of the headlight and the gas tank.

    the purple one i saw looked suspiciously like an MV Agusta F4 RR 312 1078. this is esentially the ferrari of the motorcycle world. its the red and silver bike that Bruce Wayne rides in the dark knight. the headlight and front fairing are very similer. here take a look at the MV at www.mvagustausa.com.

    As for the pink bike i am having a hard time figuring this one out. the concept that was going to be used in film 1 was an 06 buell firebolt. I'm personally very glad they scrapped that idea because those bikes are absolute shit. from the photo i spoke of it could be a number of things. from a Honda CBR1000RR to a Yamaha R1 to a Buell 1125R. its tough to say right now. i'll do some more research and see what i can dig up.
