Couldn't they just work with Prime-verse's Arcee look to the main continuity? Prime-verse's Arcee has the sleek look, and a battle ready design.
Arcee here, I just don't like her G1-like design which strike to me as a pacifist bot. I always found this look to be more of a caretaker bot, rather than a badass killing machine. The black repaint doesn't do much, that and her toy's body proportion compared to Chromia and Windblade.

So you're saying something has to LOOK bad-ass to be lethal? That's funny because I happen to be the skinniest, most unassuming looking amongst all my friends and yet when the **** hits the fan, they all stand behind me because I'm the fastest, most precise and powerful fighter of all of us. I'm trained in the martial arts and proficient with 6 of the nastiest silent weapons to ever devastate a human body.
From my POV, having Arcee look unassuming and matronly is EXACTLY what you need in a deadly assassin bot. You can't really get close to your target if you are bristling with cannons and blades and 5 times larger than life. Kinda paints a big ol' bulls-eye on ones chest and fairly screams "Here comes the Death Squad! You better run!"

As long as it gets collected in a TPB too. Punishment looks so awkward just sliding in between my RID volumes.

And I wish Pitre-DuRocher could be permanent artist on Windblade. Howell's work (to me), is far too cartoonish and silly looking for serious storylines. Yes, P-D's bots are drawn a touch too toyetically correct, but they have a realness to them that Howell's don't.

Chromia, "Shut up!"
Please you two. You could cut the... whatever you'd call that type of tension, with a energon knife.
Kidding aside, I enjoyed the sample of writing (never would I have imagined "sitting-box" as an analogy for "ass") and I'm digging the artwork also. I wouldn't mind Sara Pitre-Durocher on the Windblade series to be perfectly honest.
Other than that, knowing that Chromia's new look is city speaker influenced (which now knowing that it seems obvious) I kind of want her Combiner Hunter figure more now.
