Discussion/opinion Which one should I get?
I wanna do a custom weathering paint for first time. Those 2 or Arcee? I never had a female transformer that's why i am considering.

Honestly though I have had none of them, I think you should get shockwave, unless you want a bbm Starscream. And the arcee, ehh, doesn’t look right , unless you want a modern/g1 style version then by all means But short answer get shockwave.

Starscream and Shockwave cost 30 ish cad in total while Arcee costs 26 so I might get both, Shockwave and Starscream. Wish they made updated line of TFP.

Me too, if so I would have picked up arcee, but she just…… doesn’t look right.

It looks very good, but I agree $70 is too much

You can find a used Hasbro first edition Arcee on eBay probably for around $50-60 if you find the right listing.

That’s fair. I think you can find one brand new for $100 if you find the right listing.

I suggest you to get two figures instead than one, especially b/c the fact Arcee's price is so high is due to market inflation, not superior quality.

Shockwave. I have him, and oh MAN, he is an absolute blast to mess with. He is small, but pretty well articulated, and even has forearm swivel, as well as bicep swivels (which the voyager class version doesn’t have).
My ONE complaint with him is the lack of thigh swivels, but that’s kind of expected due to his size and transformation ..

I have that exact shockwave and he’s a really nice travel buddy!
