G1 Arcee

OK OK, so technically it isn't G1, but I really like the Energon version of Arcee, and bought it specifically to serve as my G1 Arcee. Which is something that probably happened quite often when the toy was released. Her toy is pretty small for a modern TF; she was part of a sub-group of Autobots called Omnicons, which all had smaller toys than usual. Anyway, that's about the extent of my Energon knowledge. Basically, this toy works well as G1 Arcee because it's mostly pink and white; the head, while not an exact copy of the original G1 cartoon Arcee head, still "looks" like Arcee; and...well, because there was no other Arcee toy except for a big pink-and-white spider thing, released at one of the Botcons. Pretty much the only problem is the fact that she's fairly small. Most of the characters she hung out with in 1986 were from the post-Diaclone era and, as such, they were bigger toys. Arcee looks better amongst the Diaclone-based Autobots; around guys like Hot Rod and Kup she's really short. Still, this is a small complaint for what really is a good toy.
