    yeah, sucks when a simple word as "and" can make a big difference.

    I always understood it to be what most of us think it is, Arcee "and" Twins but in a recent viewing it does sound like he says Arcee Twins. He just didn't read the line right, or at least on the take they used. As TF fans we may never know the true meaning ;)  , we shouldn't loose sleep over it.

    We don't need an answer from Orci. It's captain obvious that "Arcee" meant the three cycles, and "twins" meant Skidflap. Debate whether it was a botched line or curious phrasing all we want, the intent of the line is evident. Not to mention the fact that he considered Arcee as one unit.

    Spot on.
    It's not some sort of name for Arcee. And it's not a botched line either. It's a hastily called out command in a very volatile, dangerous and fast moving situation.
    "Arcee! Twins! Target coming your way!"
    For example - imagine Soundwave in TF:TF86, when he ejects the cassettes to trash Blaster's comms tower; picture him saying the names of each Decepticon he sent, as he did in the movie.
    Now put the word "and" inbetween each name.
    It's simply not necessary to put it there when issuing directions & updates to soldiers who are waiting for them.

    I also assumed it meant Arcee and "the Twins".

    I realized it was supposd to be Arcee, Twins but Josh Duhammel probably could have done a little better job delivering the line...it came out without any inflection just "ARCEETWINSTARGETCOMINGYOURWAY!"
