Ya, I'm almost 40 and I got a fracken transformer siting on my work shelf, next to the XB. Arcee was just as hard to find as regular buell parts are. For a little bit I thought they were built by H-D. They had all the other bike transformers but not her. So I had to go online. She is really cool. I got two. One stays as a robot, the other stays as a bike. She is just to damn hard to transform, if your over 17. The movie was great. Maybe American Sportsbike will start to stock them for us (lol). Does anyone know what models the other bikes were based off of? Redfive | ||

One's an Aprilia I know | ||

Suzuki B King, Ducati 848 or 1098, MV Agusta F4. Arcee is the MV Agusta F4. | ||

Is it the pinkish purple Arcee? That one was actually readily available after the FIRST movie, for some reason. Wal-mart had dozens of 'em. I picked one up then. Chromia is the B King. I just got her the other day. Kinda goofy looking compared to Arcee though. Not diggin' the one wheel thing. ~SM | ||
| Miko_k |
Well, Arcee was supposed to be a god damn Firebolt, but all they took from that concept, are the wheels. How lame... | ||

Uhhhh.... PICS PLEASE!!!!  We also need a robot smiley! | ||

Arcee:  bike mode:  Chromia:  bike mode w/ stand:  ~SM | ||
| Augustus74 |
Purple one has similarities to XB. Probably not more due to copyrights/trademarks??? Blue one looks more like a Triumph Speed Triple? | ||

I think the transformers from back in the day were better made. | ||

Buell did make it into the final cut of the movie. Unfortunately it was just a sticker on the side of the box Megan Fox was carrying around the little rc car bot. | ||

Arcee is a bear to transform... She sits on my desk besides various Kawasaki and Buell engine parts... | ||
| Miko_k |
All I have for bike models is a 2004 XB12R, black & amber, like my real size one  | ||
| Augustus74 |
Miko - I love the original concept!!! If the toy looked like that I would own more then one!!! Screenshot looks like a GSXR on left due to the headlight but the Buell looks like a cross with a Ninja front fairing!?!?! | ||

Reminds me of this photoshop I did recently  | ||
| Roysbuell |
Oddball- They were. I had the metal transformers. I once threw one at my cousin and split his lip open. I got a choice spanking or transformer in the trash. I took the whooping. | ||
| Augustus74 |
Holy double-take Froggy!!! That is pretty damn cool!!! Now if the 1125R only looked like that!!!! | ||
| Swordsman |
Here's another new Transformer bike. I actually think it's the best looking one out there, though it's smaller than the others. His name is Knockout, and he's an Autobot. Transforms very much like the Arcee figure, but without all the thin flimsy joints that make Arcee tricky. It's actually a very solid figure. Pardon the camera phone quality.  Looks a bit like Froggy's photoshop! ~SM | ||

Do you want to know how I know you are gay? (Message edited by Thulsadoom on July 01, 2009) | ||

Gay and immature having nothing to do with one another. Now, call me immature, and I'll plead guilty as charged.   ~SM | ||
| Zatco81 |
~SM, What does that change into? | ||
| Froggy |
A pile of rust!  | ||
| Swordsman |
LOL, not anytime soon, I hope! It's gonna' transform into a rather quick baby carrier in about 10 days! ~SM | ||
| Zatco81 |
Congrats!! | ||
| Swordsman |
Heheh, thanks! One thing's for sure, if it's a boy, he will NEVER be short on toys because he can always get into dad's stash!  (And no, we don't know what it is yet. My wife likes surprises, and I would die a horrible death if I had found out and let it slip, so I opted for the safer route) ~SM | ||
| Augustus74 |
OMG transform that chrome fender trim off that car! LOL Its cool that people still don't feel the need to find out what sex their baby will be. | ||
| Swordsman |
Hey, I like my fender trim. I've actually found several photo references of 1969 Mustangs that have it as well, and that's the year the S197 was modeled after, so  !!! Now this is where I would have to draw the line:  ~SM | ||
| Oddball |
It's like they're twins.  | ||
| Doughnut |
was there another group called "Go Bots"? | ||
| Zatco81 |
Go Bots...Aftermarket Transformers. Pogue will get it. | ||

The bikes in the screen shot are (from left to right): Suzuki B-King, MV Agusta F4, Ducati 1098/1198. Rack up another movie appearance by the Italian's greatest bike the F4! Most folks never even notice the F4's persistance for appearing in big films. . . . Gone in 60 Seconds, Matrix Reloaded, The Dark Knight, The Art of War, I,Robot . . . I have also heard the Brutale will make an appearance in G.I.Joe. Quick question . . . I saw the movie and thought I saw the pink buell at the start. (chasing the Audi) But was confused with the whole 'upgrade' scene . . . was it really there. And if it was, I believe the logical upgrade would be to a 1125R  |
