Hopefully the backpack can be removed and set aside if you want like with ER's "hover board"

I can certainly see how the car folds into that hiking pack on hr back. It's just frustrating that the Authentics Bravo sizes Arcee, for being a cheap $5 toy can pull off turning into a car while still looking like Arcee and the $22 toy cannot.

Apparently Arcee is NOT the ER Arcee, but a new tooling that combines the good Thrilling 30 Arcee and the good parts of ER Arcee. Yeah, she's got a giant backpack, but let's be honest... As along as they're obsessed with making it look like 1986, that's the best it's going to be able to get at a $22 price point. So with more pictures of this coming out today, I can definitely see the differences between this and ERC. However, I dunno that they're enough to make me grab her, as I still think Thrilling 30 Arcee is probably my favorite mold for that variation on her (since I own it thrice between T30, Combiner Hunter, and Nightbird) I got ER Arceee's mold as Lifeline and Elita, but Elita's definitely getting replaced by Legacy Elita, and Lifeline's a whole other color scheme. Though I still need to fix her leg (the pin holding the knee joint together is outright *missing* on my copy, held in place only by friction.) I do think that T30 does some good with the extra black to break up her color scheme, though. Even with the white/pink primary.

At least it looks like her chest folds up to become the front end of the car. That's like the bare minimum for her actually "transforming", but ER couldn't even manage that.

Well, when you get either Legacy Elita or SS86 Arcee, you can cannibalize the pin from one of them. Or just pop the leg off and say that Lifeline put a different colored leg on herself... My personal canon of Lifeline, that's totally a thing her drunk ass would do.

On one hand, I'd agree. On the other hand, he's just $10. I've spent more on crap I don't even want.

After seeing the pics, I think I'll definitely be sticking with TR Wheelie myself. Hands in vehicle mode aside, I just don't like how bulbous looking that vehicle mode is.
