Really strongly captures the Derrick J. Wyatt aesthetic.
I've seen this, or another attempt similar to it. I think there may have been several. I wonder how authentic this is to the existing prototype? In terms of the transformation, and in terms of what we don't get to see very often (like the back of the robot mode)? Either way, it's very impressive. I would not hate a large-scale version of this.
See, this strikes me as a little less authentic, because the only Arcee prototype we ever saw was an unfinished resin sculpt that probably didn't even have any moving parts. And the fact that it has to be disassembled to transform it kind of bothers me. I mean, yes, it's impressive from an engineering standpoint, but it's not authentic enough that I would ever want one.
Remember those giant-sized TMNT action figures that were like 12" tall? The other day I saw that somebody on eBay had 3D-printed a giant sized scale Krang's Android Body to go with it. It was unpainted, and it was like $200, but it was so amazing.
