TFW2005 translator SydneyY has come through one again, providing us with a translation of the recent Hironori Kobayashi interview supplied in the latest issue of Figure King. The interview mostly deals with Kobayashi's development of Transformers: Legends Arcee (The Takara release of Generations Deluxe Arcee)

For a brief summary of points discussed...

• Kobayashi's background
• How the idea for Arcee came to be
• The development for Arcee
• The process of working with Hasbro (she was originally intended to be remolded into a Blurr figure, but the idea was dropped)
• Making sure Arcee looked like her cartoon incarnation
• The differences between the Takara and Hasbro versions
• Arcee's vehicle mode and the transformation process
• Kobayashi's scratch-built Arcee and how it helped him get a job at Takara, plus how it influenced Legends/Generations Arcee
• The possibility of a Headmaster Arcee being released in the future
• The figures Kobayashi would like to see in the future

Check out the full details after the break!
