    And I raise you a trump card - transformers live action movie combiner mode of the arcee sisters.

    No official mode; yet combined forms still exist. Here's my best attempt.

    Hidden in the back, but combined and more stable than any other renditions I have come across.

    technically combined mode doesnt exist. if you follow the development of those three figures you'll recall it was supposed to be 3 distinct molds, in the end only 2 got made and the 3rd was a repaint. so any fan mode is merely an approximation of what was supposed to be. and again, fan modes dont really count.

    And yet, the combiner abilities still exist in those figures.

    Going to bed, but love the friendly debate. ;)

    and the combinability may be present, but its still not the intended combined mode without that 3rd mold :p

    Well i was just talking about the power armor losing its functionality. Like even though it wouldnt work as a hand for P/CP it could be used with other combiner limbs.

    I was charged for my order today, but it's still scheduled to ship in late September.

    Disclaimers:
    My order includes Repugnus, but I requested "as few shipments as possible".
    I have had Amazon preorders get charged early then be rescinded in the past, and then charged when actually shipped. so this may be a glitch ... and I'm hoping it is because it sours my budget to be charged a month early.

    Punch/counterpunch? It’s one figure, a triple changer with one vehicle mode and two bot modes

    1 figure that transforms in to two bots via different configurations. Have a look at the Wiki, it's a fairly unique concept.

    I gotta question. Is Punch and Repugnus a Amazon exclusive only?

    They were confirmed at sdcc to be amazon exclusives in the U.S. even giving out exclusive posters to advertise it. As for Canada it looks the same.some countries in Asia has these readily available though throughout various retailers like TRU and other shops and places.

    I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.

    How'd you get all 3 legends-class bike sisters? I thought only arcee saw release and the others got cancelled?

    Well, for what it’s worth even if the final Arcee bike was an entirely new mold it wouldn’t have differed much.

    The Arcee combiner made it through concept art and into an animatic of the movie before getting scrapped, and it’s basically just an unholy wheel of spokes, guns and death. :p

    They are from the cancelled/unreleased "sneak attack sideways" set, where sideways had the battle-damage paint scheme when sideswipe cut him in half... I believe there are only 3 sets in existance.

    Even the 3-pack arcee differs from the original retail legends release. The original has a black Autobot symbol on the front, where as the cancelled arcee has a silver symbol on the seat.
