To see Seibertron's exclusive gallery of the original Flamewar click here and to see Beast Hunters Arcee click here.
Even more unusually Taobao also has what appears to be Arcee repainted as Transmutate. Unlike the recent TFCC version (the gallery of which can be seen here) this version uses the Robots In Disguise version of Arcee rather than the First Edition. A test model or something else?

Don't forget that at this point there is no guarantee that these are the finished designs or that they are genuine BotCon exclusives.
Stick with Seibertron for the latest in BotCon news!

I guess we can now guess who the "rogue Decepticon" might be.

Oh well, my only consolation is I have a chance to make it look better, and I suppose it'll be cheaper to have bought the thing and repainted it by hand than it would be to buy this aftermarket.

The Beast Hunters mold fits Flamewar to a T. Spikier and edgier than regular Arcee. Love it!!

There is no reason for the club to produce a second transmutate, it would cut into the sales of the first one.
The flamewar looks cool, but again, unlikely that they'd have two such similar molds, if the flamewar was made using the FE Arcee I'd be a lot more convinced.
I guess I'll just have to go to Botcon and find out for myself.

Flamewar looks decent enough.

One thing we do know for sure: she ain't the free 12-and-under toy...
Now the new Transmutate is just all kinds of confusing. Could this be another case of a female TF being created via experimentation on a male character, but this time the gender switch was a side effect of curing Electro of gold-plastic-syndrome? Because when I picture her in opposition to FE-Arcee Transmutate, the smoother chest and wider wingspan just says Electro more than Transmutate. Go fig. Really curious to find out what the deal is here.

Transmutate makes a buttload of "wat" and "why". I'd like to think that this was a concept that the Club was considering, but decided to ditch it.

BUT Flamewar on the other hand: SO MANY TIMES YES!!!

Now, Trans-Mutate is a whole different animal. Maybe either will be the Freebie, one as Flamewar herself, the other as a disguise? Either way, I want them.
That is, if everything is actually legit:

It's true. Taobao is where we saw most of the 2010 BotCon figures early, but it's also where we saw that supposed Glyph from the Classics Bumblebee mold. So take everything there with a pinch of salt.

Is it the one with Alpha Trion from Prime Thundertron, Pounce and Wingspan from the regular Vehicon and Air Vehicon respectively, Apelinq from Cybertron Beast Optimus Prime, etc.?

we know it, but they're just rumors? post them for discussion is always good though.

And over-use of spoiler tags ensues
