Heres some clearer pics, you can sort of see some color in them, one of them has a shield(probably a wheel) and what looks like a blade.

I still think they are the 3 Arcee bots/fem bots/whatever you wanna call them, but thats my opinion.

I'm just going to be honest here. I was all hyped about the trailer and when it came on, I was less than impressed. If these are three fembots or whatnot, that's fine. I was talking with my girlfriend this afternoon (she's been having trouble sleeping, so I'm trying to help her out and bore her into unconsciousness) after she told me reports of like 40 robots in this movie that I think they are going to try and instantly rectify all the complaints about the first movie with this one. So, people cried there was no Arcee, like Arcee has been such a pivotal factor in any continuity, and now there's going to be like 12 fembots. My big gripe with the first movie was there wasn't enough time in a story about giant robots dedicated to giant robots. What we got was like 14.5 minutes of robo action and 2 hours of lame masturbation jokes and a kid hanging from a tree cause it was 'quirky and cool' and bad Shai LeBouf making faces that vaguely simulated human emotion. So now, we'll get 40 robots, who will this time be woefully underdeveloped becuase there are so many of them, which will reduce the chances to insert jerking off references and a subplot of Marines that essentially goes no place.
Ok ok, ok I'm sorry, I don't mean to be Mr. Big Jagoff about the new movie. Hells, I'm looking forward to it. My fear for TF2 is that we've all beaten up the first one and pointed out all of it's flaws, and so now the team will try to accomodate our wants and in doing so will overkill the things people wanted, like fembots. I don't want one fembot, whay would I want three? I wanted more robo prowess flexed and oiled to glistening perfection and less humans ruining my life, so now I'll get so many robots that I'll fear the invasion is upon us and I'll cry myself a torrent of woe, flooding the theatre and leading to my unfortuante drowning, unavoidable after years smoking and being overwieght, even though I used to swin pretty well. Yes, I said swin, because while normal mortals may lower themselves to 'swimming', I partake in the upscale activity of swinning.
However, if these are fembots in the above photos, they are good looking ones. They have that slenderness that I at least would expect of fembots, and fembots are normally protrayed in that ninja-esque wheel-shield-blade wielding/spinning manner, so they would fit that vision of the fembots.
Whatever, I just want to see them kick some goddamn ass.

Wow! Awesome screencaps

I still hope that only one of them is Arcee and the other two are also fembots. I can't imagine three guys combinin into... Arcee?
But hey! It's Bayformers!

Arcee was in the Trailer! (Link to the still she's in)

In the roll-around-and-transform-scene, you can see in the background a little robot jump out at the last second. After seeing this huge still, it's two! The wheels, and the smallness of the robots, screams motorcycle to me, and considering they're right next to each other, they might be Arcee, in pursuit of the R8 (Barricade?)
I couldn't upload the pic, but here's the link:http://dwteam.org/rotf/Go to the 5'th tab and look at the last pic.

ive heard simliar things so she wouldnt be too small compared to others.(Bays original reason besides her being a female and having to explain that in the first movie. as theres an Arcee toy with her as a firebolt.) But on the flipside she could possible used to battle the new pretender(which they used the idea much better than the original toyline did from what Im hearing, as its a human size robot. Not a 50 foot tall human like G 1 comics heh) that supposed to appear in the movie to hunt sam so having an autobot small enough to enter buildings could have a point.
But if they do go using three bikes she would likely be of a proper size to battle other decepticons. Why they wouldnt just use her as a larger vehicle in the first place then is beyond me, but long as it doesnt look stupid as part of me doesnt like the idea of her or any transformer being contructed of 3 seperate parts but one entity. I dont mind the idea of a combiner since they have a role as individual parts, but just seems like for an ordinary transformer its pointless other than being a major liability. (pictures sky warp taunting Arcee, got your legs, holding them up over her head just out of her reach with only her torso and arms formed hehe)
As 3 seperate smaller bots seems overkill have that many of that size (Its possible they could be just that deadly heh), but I suppose its better that they arent just mindless drone pieces to form arcee atleast then.(like the drones prime had to powerlinx to himself in energon.)

This was the kind of idea I had for Arcee: one intelligence, multiple bodies.
