So it is as someone had mentioned in a thread before... the 2 out of the three bike sisters ride "side saddle" in effect and aren't meant to be straight up and down, almost like they were thought of as Mermaids... I am starting to come around to these designs.

 

Pretty cool. I'm really liking Demolishor.

 

You know, if they end up doing Robot Replicas of the Arcee sisters, with all the nice detail sculpted in the designs, I may actually buy those and display them all together on a shelf...If they make them...Maybe.

 

The Arcee faces are just Megatron's with lipstick. Wish the design team could excercise a little variation on the robot faces once in awhile.

 

wow i really like the look of the bikes

 

so Arcee's toy is pretty accurate to the movie design.. lol Peaugh doesn't like it though. lol.

 

I hope they look great on screen, but as individual toys--IMHO they are a no go. Maybe if they do come in a set of 3. 

For both quotes: I believe I saw this at Books a Million, you might try searching BAM for this title, IIRC it was a new release in the Graphic Novels area. I looked the book over, but passed on buying, possibly it was only TF1 movie info, not 100% sure..  Edit: Just looked up on BAM they show the same order/shipping date; April 2010. I think the store I was in did have the TF1 movie book. Sorry.

 

Nice to see that they all look that ugly on purpose and weren't just botched in the toy phase. It's like the reverse of what happened in the last movie.

 

Lovin all the concept art pic's ! 

 

Oooooh look really closely at Arcee's left Shouler, you can see the partial head and Eye of the Concept Arcee's head from the 2007 toyline.

Yummy, this proves that they are supposed to combine and that Arcee is the Torso & Head.

 

Yeah, and in that sense the biker bots toys are very very accurate, which makes it a bit annoying that the on-screen versions were obviously tweaked with a lot afterwards. I'd have thought once you'd sent s design off to be made into a solid, ohysical representation that would be the time to stop! But hey, what do I know!

 

um guys, I've just paid for my Art of the Movies book on Amazon.co.uk, and it was in stock, it should be here in 3-5 business days

 

Huhhhhh... I really miss the original concept that was initially used for the first movie. I found myself, despite me being a human and her being a robot, actually falling in love with the image. That 'teen robot girl' concept was really up to my tastes. Then I was horrified to see how the concept changed to make her thinner.. no, almost skeletal like Frenzy, and her breasts showing. These wheel-snake design, though I admit they aren't so bad after all, don't appeal to me much. Well, can't be helped though. There's something called.. 'fanwork.'  

By the way, does Arcee really die?

 

SPOILER









it's not clear, 2 parts of her get shot and fall over, the other part fights back, but we dont see them again (not sure if in credits, as didnt stay for them on friday, watching again on wednesday though, so MIGHT be clearer

PS how do i do that block of black over the text for a spoiler here?

 

Robot Replicas of the bike sisters would rock so hard! I doubt it would happen though, they aren't the biggest stars of this movie and I don't know if Hasbro would invest money into more versions of characters who may not be incredibly popular to begin with.

Still, we know Arcee is getting a FAB and a legends figure, plus the smaller toy that comes with HA Skids (assuming that one is not the legends toy) - so I might be wrong. Here's hoping I am.

I doubt they die. Being shot and falling over does not constitute death in the movie franchise - and since so many dead bots keep coming back, I don't think anything really does.

 

Thanks. Hmm.. it looks like Bay didn't exactly kill her off, but didn't give them any credit of any kind either.

 

my only fear with the arcee's fate is that bay said that he disliked them a while back and decided to kill them off at some point in the film (jerk)

 

RF:
Checked out. Blecch, what a mess that toy is!

I still don't think the robot mode was designed to stand twisted-around like that all the time. It just wouldn't make any sense to have the center of mass out to the side like that. There goes that physics again.

The toy designers might have interpreted the concept art too literally. It's happened before.

 

wow, you're right o.o!
but if we read the comics, the combined version must be that one that is painted full blue/purple, 'cause she doesn't look anything like the CGI that we got, oh well, just to wait for the design of the combined sisters   (if they release it after all... I wanna see the combined mode in CGI even if they dropped it... as the first movie Arcee)
