Does anyone know or knows of a website besides Youtube that has this posted or maybe a set of directions on how to do this?

Nobody knows for sure how they were supposed to combine since Hasbro has not released official instructions in any way, shape, or form for it.

Most people think, and I tend to agree, that the third Arcee sister was supposed to be a new mold to enable the combination, and not a repaint of Chromia.

With that said, anything you can come up with yourself, is as valid as anything else you may find.

There is no official way, but if you come up with one that works, please share it on here. That way, we resolve this and people stop asking. My best advice is to leave it alone but if you think you can find a way, by all means go for it. If someone actually does I will buy all three.

This is what I posted about this very topic nearly 3 months ago:

There is no way to put those things together that doesn't look wrong. Seriously, just coat them in glue and smash them together at high speeds and VIOLA! you're done!

Yes, as stated here, combining those three will lead to a messy, fiddly piece of modern sculpture depicting the angst and frustration of mankind as he is swallowed by modern technology and stripped of his humanity by rampant social disorder...

But as usual, I digress.

We will likely never see a proper way to ever combine them, but as for me personally, I like to pretend that they mash together with much clicking and whirring and that the end result is 07 movie Arcee. I know there would be a lot of missing tires and other such motorcycle parts in this situation, but it makes the most sense if you read the IDW comics.

No 'real' way but a ton of cool attempts. *Shrug* Hasbro failed here.

I don't blame Hasbro - I blame whoever designed the durn things for Bay. They're hideous as is, look stupid even in the source material, and any "combination" would be half-acred even if it looked just like the "official" version.

Worthless, simply worthless. And apparantly all because Michael Bay said he didn't like the character.

How do you combine them? Duct tape and superglue seem to work well.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Oct 24, 2010 9:50 pm

step 1. Sell them

Step 2. buy TFA Arcee

follow these simple directions and enjoy your superior Arcee toy.

I want to say "badly", but that wouldn't be too helpful... ;p

I guess what everyone says is right and it looks like Hasbro dropped the ball on yet another set of figures with no explanation so I'll just have to hope that when the rumored Elita-1 repaint is released,it will include a set of instructions on how to combine all 3.

There are rumors of an Elita-1 repaint? So, that would be a repaint of a repaint? Don't hold your breath on instructions since the original concept was changed and thrown out the window.

Yea,there is "supposed" to be a re-paint of E-1 in regular purple plastic instead of the white/pinkish version that came out and yes I agree with you on the "concept thrown out the window" theory because this isnt the first or last time that the figure was either changed at the last minute or dropped completly after it was advertised that it would be released which is pretty much just throwing a bone to the dog top keep it quiet.

I believe you are all talking about the TakaraTomy version. Same figure (yep, repaint of Chromia), just in movie-accurate purple.

duct tape, superglue or leave them in the sun to melt together

Thanx everyone for your input on this but it turns out that,(I found this out from another TF website),that there will NEVER be an official combined-mode for these figures because while the concept was a good idea at the time,Hasbro couldnt engineer the finished combined form so it was dropped and as I stated before this wont be the first or last time that an idea or toy was advertised to boost sales and then unexplainably dropped and never made it to the shelves.

This has been known for a long time. It's been well documented on this website and even in this very thread. I don't know why you would have had to go to another website for the answer. When threads like this pop up every few days, people give sarcastic comments because it gets asked all the time. I think Hasbro could have engineered the combined mode, they have the means. It's just that when the combination was dropped in the movie, they decided to drop it in the toys.

Maybe we should sticky one of these threads...or just a locked and stickied thread titled "The ROTF Motorcycle Sisters CANNOT Combine" with links to all the various threads over the past couple months...

The reason I went to another website is because I thought maybe someone had information on the subject that I didnt know about and so far,YOU are the only one who made a comment about it in a negative way.I can handle when someone says somethin like "leave them out in the sun to melt" because its done in good humor and not the way you posted it with an attitude behind it.And since when do you have the right to tell me or anyone else they cant check info on another website because YOU dont like it? Its for reasons like this I left TFW2005 because there were too many people that feel they have to flame or bash someone because they can get away with it.
