Since when is G1 Arcee a motorcycle?
This was probably a subtle joke based on the pointy things near Wreck-Gar's shoulders. Maybe.

Beleive it or not I'm actually serious
I'm thinking purely from a business perspective on Hasbros' part. The re-paint/mold options for W'Gar are quite limited as far as character recognition goes, unless they are going to give Afterburner or even Cy-Kill an earth mode (which I wouldn't object to!).
Hasbro have also been pitching Arcee as a Motorcycle since 2004, with the exception of the lowly distributed, store exclusified Animated version, so this may be the Alternate mode the "masses" can most identify with, especially with DOTM coming. The very nature of the Motorcycle alt-mode, being slimmer, lend itself well to the female form.
It beats a pink repaint of Kup at any rate
What I think I'm trying to say is that it's not as much of a stretch as you might think. How well it would be recieved is another matter entirely!

Yeah, I can just see the fans screaming "CAH NOT MOTOHCYCLE" and boycotting the figure if it actually comes to pass. Smooth move Hasbro
