My fiance has been eyeing these for quite some time and it looks like I'm going to have to make sure she gets one. I don't collect the movie line so no worries for me.
The bikes are least closer to scale with the human alliance sized bots. That's what I've always disliked about bikebots, they are way too big in bike mode
I'm sorry, maybe I'm late to the party - but it was mentioned that we don't see the combined mode in the movie. How do we know this?
What if the post with pegs, that is assumed to be what the bikes all use to combine, is actually just used to make mid air posses? Like in the last image. What if the bikes don't actually combine at all.
I dunno, sometimes I hate 'em, some times I love 'em. Arcee to me looks better than Chromia, minus the absurd midsection. Is there a way to condense it so she just looks like a nromal robot with wheel feet and fused legs? Also unfortunate that the head is just Chromia's. Weird 'cuz they look different everywhere else.
I think they DO combine but I also think you are right, I don't beleive that thing has anything to do with it. Maybe pose them in mid air, maybe a way to let them stand without the need for their little sidecars and weapon things.
Aaaargh. So close to knowing the secret... yet so far away! Thanks for the pics man. As someone asked before is there a way to condense her goofy looking spinal cord? And I still can't see the back to back triangle thing. If that's so, then third bike can't be a redo of chromia cuz her wheel can't spin. They wouldn't be able to roll anywhere. Not sure if I explained that right. Does that make sense?
Is that last picture a combined mode or is one hold the other above her head? Seriously, what the hell am I looking at?
Deluxe-sized bikes you mean? I just had a conversation that even a Scout-class bike is far too large to be in-scale with HA. There was this event called Botcon... Where are you seeing Arcee labeled as a repaint?
News is that the third bike will be a repaint of either chromia or arcee. Also, the ROTF arcee is a completely new model from the TFTM arcee but there is supposed to be a repainted TFTM arcee released under the ROTF line (black arcee? g1/wonderfest arcee?). Those two news/rumors may add to the confusion.
Thanx for sharing. I think the one on last pic looked really artistic. But to be frank I don't really believe these two deluxe figures are meant to be combinable from designing aspect. IMO I guess the port on their bottom and else where on the toy only is a sign of that their abolished or discontinued earlier on (maybe original) combine capable designing attempts, kindda like those triple changer's traits found on universe deluxe galvatron toy in the past. Another thing leads to my conclusion is, all three would be more of likely packed into one whole set like supreme class devastator, or deluxe ice cream truck twins if they are supposed to be combine capable. But they are sold separately not to mention there is still no sign of purple Arcee. I think Hasbro will release a combinable supreme class Arcee toy sometime later.
im getting closer to be sold onthe fembots and i figured all along itwas gonna take all 3 fembots in hand to work out the combined mode
Weird, I'm starting to warm up for the bikes, mostly arcee, she actualy looks cool with the stand and the snake-like frame. Maybe I'll end up buying 'em if the combined mode is noice.
