CyberFembot History and Origins

This is how it all got started, where we came up with the idea for the CyberFembots and the things that had the greatest influence on her creation.

1998
Mystery Arcee Piece

This piece makes its debut at a transformers convention. Its very cool but the limited number of low resolution pictures hampers any true scrutiny. The fan community loves it but really knows nothing about it. There is no way to tell for sure what it's made of, how it was constructed, what its painted with or how durable it is. Transformation is shown somewhat, but for the most part this piece remains a mystery.

2003
Studio Epsilon

Studio Epsilon creates, and shares they're work online at several toy sites. The piece is very detailed but does not have wheels, a clean transformation and it cannot stand on its own. This piece is a one-only and was later de-constructed to make future versions. It no longer exists in physical form. These pictures are all that remain.

2004
JD-Productions

Working with some of the Studio Epsilon folks, JD pays for and produces this piece. Its a variant of the Studio Epsilon piece. It has a completely different transformation mechanism and is seen in various stages of completeness around the web. We purchased 9 of these pieces which were all hand molded, hand poured and cleaned individually.

This is the first piece we bought from JD off of EBay. JD sold under the name "ihatearmy".
We paid $500 for this single piece. It arrived broken and had to be sent back for repairs.

Second batch of 3 pieces shown here with a JD-Productions Devastator and one of his reproduction Spike heads. We paid $370 for each Arcee Piece and $500 for Devastator. They both arrived broken. The Arcee's were sent back for repair and we re-built Devastator ourselves.

This is a picture of a piece that JD was painting.
There were problems with paint adhesion to the material that these pieces were cast from.

The last batch of 5 pieces that we bought from JD.
Like Devastator we received these pieces in a large broken mass.
They were sent back for repairs and we finally got them in one piece after the repairs were complete. We paid $320 each piece for the last 5

2004
Rabid Squirrel Productions

 After spending more than $3000 on pieces from JD-Productions we decided that we could not only produce a better piece but that we could make it available to everyone. In 2004 that's what we set out to do and the CyberFembot A.R.C. Project was officially started. For more information on this project click the picture below or visit our Genisis page for pictures and information about this project.

2005
CybCon 2005

We attend a local transformers convention and show our progress to date. The response is positive.

Auto Assembly 2006
Dave from TFAuctions.com takes the piece we made special for him to AutoAssembly 2006 in England. CyberFembot A.R.C. receives a proper English welcome and is offered countless cups of tea. Sadly she's a coffee drinker.

Prototype of The Ancients... I mean really proto.

2006
Stickers and Reprolables.com

We get contest winners, we get stickers made and we slap those suckers on our CyberFembots.

2006
CybCon 2006

Not sure what I was looking at. But it must have been important.

I'm talking with an RSP customer who called in just to say HI and that he wished he could be there. (That's Crazy Steve's phone I'm desecrating....) The dude to my left is Joe. He's not an RSP employee just an old friend who agreed to help out at the show. And yes I know he's got a RSP name tag. It's there for continuity.

Master Head Prototype

Dude! Is this yellow piece for sale?

Nope.... Sorry.

Dude. Is THAT yellow piece available for sale?

Hmmmmm Maybe. We're thinking about it. (Smaller black and yellow alien dude.)

Our only reproduction piece to date. We sold about 5 at CybCon 2006 and one more on EBay.... The rest were given away to previous RSP customers as holiday gifts Christmas 2006.

Yes Virginia, convention venders do drink that much coffee.

So, you got any of The Ancients ready to take with me? No.... oh well then never mind.

Rabid Squirrel Productions At BotCon 2006. Well at least our guns.

This piece belongs to TFMaster of TFMaster.com Very nice work.

Just saw this.
Looks like at least part of RSP went to BotCon 2006 afterall. This Arcee custom is using our RSP CyberFembot A.RC. guns. Very cool. Mail us with the owner of this piece and we'll happily credit it.
