Transformers MPG-23 Secret Agent Arcee New Promotional Image

Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter/X has revealed a new promotional image of the upcoming Transformers MPG-23 Secret Agent Arcee.

can't top coat arcee yet so will show alt mode later, but really had fun painting this arcee and sculpting the torso when we could, in the latter regard she will probably be one of a kind (green stuff was a lot of work) but in the former the reaper mini paints seem to be the right choice for replication, very proud of her. 💜 🏳️‍⚧️

you know we were going to making an Optimus out of Earthrise Elita and post with the line "freedom is the right of all sentient beings including the right to shellform" and are still going to, but wow wasn't really expecting an Optimus toy who effectively has g1 Arcee back stacks while having a mix of Jazz and IDW Arcee proportions to drop as the main studio series Optimus for the new movie- and are just thinking 'wow, 40 years was really something.' gonna see if we can make a truck Arcee at some point or if we're lucky/given enough time, a trailer fills out a light bus alt. all issues with thigh paint scraping from the hips are no longer a problem for us personally

Aren't they adorable... if you had told us two canon forms of a non-trans duo occasional m/f couple would be able to hold their back stacks like this in their toy form before we held Studio Transformers One Optimus in our hands we would have replied '?being able to do this with more than canon lesbians (who themselves desperately need to have more easily available toys)? yeah, I wish.' Dying with joy - living with joy

(also these two in the photo could still be wlw for all we know given the fact there are two gal Optimus Primes so far in canon)

btw can we get a gal and/or genderfluid Jazz in a show or film or game, please and thank you. so close for the former to happen in Cyberverse before she got cut from it

but yeah. revisiting the thing of hey so what if we got Elita and Optimus as lesbians in media we'd love that. I mean now that we think of it Blackarachnia was in the Yellow Order led by Splendid... clearly BW-based Blackarachnia but still... (and also Splendid would never have left Elita behind like that even if it meant crossing Sentinel, at least that's what we think anyways)

some personal trans stuff under the cut

had 2 map this 2 get out of head, orange is stuff that we basically/actually know, black arrows r speculation. this head design map of Arcee only goes up to 2018 & doesnt cover everything. amazed that Blackarachnia is part of this & roots of prime arcee r basically unknown afaik!

would love to know whats going on with prime arcee's lil' upper cheek guard stubs that are like idw1 arcee's but hidden under her pointy cheek guard ridges. she also shares the chin armor that binaltech arcee & art of war #5 arcee were 1st to have followed by idw1 & animated 'cee.

Finished our first of many prototype colors Arcees (yes we do plan on selling some!)! Holding her is like holding a piece of the 80s our eldest never knew existed that she would have been endeared to had she known sooner. we were also reminded of how we have met people young and older through this fandom, some joining this year or who were around to witness its beginning and follow it along, and we are so glad to have met so many people who are so kind and understanding through this and share some of the joys we do as we learn together and build off each other. she also reminds us a part of us that our eldest hadnt figured out until later, and this was the first tangible sense of continuity we've had in homaging the human side of 'we have always been here, we always will be' regarding lesbians, sapphics and trans people (prototype Arcee's design colors had orange decades before lesbian flags would or idw1 Arcee kissing Aileron). almost teared up :3
