Unknown Energon Arcee repaint sells on eBay

[News Reporter]

As reported on our News Page here.


eBay seller epToys71 recently sold a repainted Transformers Energon Arcee toy with a blue and silver colour scheme. It is unknown at this time as to which line this toy is from. It could be Botcon 2007 recolour, a Transformers Movie toy, a Transformers Classics release, an unreleased Transformers Universe figure or something else. Which ever it is, you can see the item here.

There's a series of "Movie" basic figures coming out which will mostly be made up of Basic repaints from previous lines.

It better not be a movie figure. I have a vague recollection of there being a KO arcee that might have been blue that I saw when in philippines

I had the chance of one of these Arcee protos, and ended up going for it. In the end the seller only charged me S&H as it turns out I've bought a fair few things from him under another ID, so he gave me a HUGE bargain.

Apparently he has a few of the other basic "protos" as well, and they'll be seen soon enough.

I'd quite like one of them blue and silver Arcee's but can't really afford it right now. If I can't get one then maybe I'll get another pink and white one and try a repaint.

I do hope that's not an actual movie toy though cos it does seem a bit cheap and doesn't fit in with the other designs at all.
