New Images of ROTF Arcee and Jolt

Jolt looks really clunky, kibbley and hard to transform. But there's just something about him...

ah, so Jolt is that car in all the commercials who transforms in the alley being chased by the little ones?

as for Arcee, it be cool if they got Susan Blu to do her voice.

jolt:feh

arcee:w...t...f

they went from animated prowl
to this...

grrr
they just better not do this to prowl
in the future of tf movies

Actually I think we're a half mile past "Wait & see" and two more miles to "I'll believe it when I see it".

If the Deluxe figures we have so far combine, I don't see how. The third installment of the trio (of which I think we've only known about due to on set info & pics?) would have to be a substantial piece with extra stuff to get a full robot with connections going on imo. Stuff like the bikes having different names, individual robot modes, and such give a hint maybe there's no combiner on the way. But other stuff like the info byte on Arcee supposedly being a combiner, three bikes seen, the IDW comic seeming to display Arcee's mind & voice coming from three units say otherwise. If she is a combiner, at this point I actually have to give Bay & company kudos for keeping the most wanted details an actual secret/surprise. It is possible IDW was working off early ideas though that didn't make it to the final cut, same thing has happened with Hasbro on the toys of the first film even. Heck, the third cycle seen on set could easily been meant to take along-the-side footage of the other two cycle fembots (you know, the only two we've actually seen in commercial?).

Then again, this could be the same deal as Devastator where you get individual Deluxes with robot modes, then later a set that goes from motorcycles straight to the combined form.

And (while I feel the same about Chromia in that I don't care for the name being used on the figure) I rather like the look of the cyclebots. Prefer? Perhaps not. But I do like.

As for Jolt? Pass.

wow. Guess its true what a fellow here on the boards once said couple years ago.

Imagination is dead

everybodys already on the bandwagon saying that the bikes cant combine, just because of chromia not having a lot of options. even though the bikes come with a combining componant theres just no way they can form something that looks like a robot.

well, lets not forget that these are bays movie formers, since when did they have to look like a sensible robot?

that being said, I have found a very solid leg form for chromia. and if you look at arcee, shes got a crapload of extra joints and folded peices. and given the angle and location of her connector peice from the previous images, I can see how she would unfold and wrap to make the upper body.. so im sure bike #3 wont be that much difrent then chromia, and make the right leg +small body bit. If I could just snag a decent camera from a friend, I could show you what Im talking about, as well as an alt transformation for chromia that looks a bit more fem lol.

having said all that, it is still possible that they were initialy designed to combine then dumped at the last minute. Wouldnt be the first time hasbro has done that. considering that I can turn rampage into his leg form, and demolisher into what looks like one half of devys chest......

Forget her body build, why does Arcee have a moustache?

Still not sure about Jolt. I guess I'll decide when I see him depending on what other figures are around and how much money I have.

I'm still keeping hope alive that the femme bikes combine. Honestly, I didn't plan on getting any of them because I was on the bandwagon that they sucked (and I had the first movie Arcee anyway). However, I saw a few Youtube reviews of Chromia, decided to buy her and I actually love the design. It's a lot different once you have a figure in hand. That being said, regardless of whether or not the sisters combine, I'll be getting the other 2.

Also, I found a few pictures of what the three supposedly look like combined. I'm not sure if the first picture is official, but the second pic is from the ROTF comic. The combined form looks pretty badass IMO.
