Arcee's a motorcycle on the show, but she's a Deluxe Class toy the same as the cars and planes, so of course her scale's a bit wonky. And so I picked up Tiny Arcee to see how she'd compare to the other toys. Maybe she'd be a better Arcee than my admittedly awesome Deluxe Class version! And, as expected, she's a way better scale versus the cars in vehicle mode, but about half as short as her cartoon's robot mode. See, in the show, she grows between modes. A lot. Very much a lot. Her motorcycle mode's as large as her shin. It's kind of annoying.

Her transformation is pretty sweet for such a small toy. It reminds me a lot of Animated Prowl in its elegance. And like Animated Prowl, one wheel ends on one leg and one wheel on the other, with the arms pointing out the rear of the motorcycle and motorcycle kibble ending up as wings on her back. It's fun to do and she fits in your pocket.

Both Ratchet and Arcee come with rubbery translucent pink weapons. These weapons are covered in pegs and pegholes so that you can combine them in various ways, and the toys themselves have multiple pegholes. In theory, if I had more than just these two Cyberverse toys, I could combine my pile of weapons into a superweapon, or many superweapons, or just load up one toy with all of them.
