We have had several images of redecos for Generations Arcee and Chromia which, as of today, we still have very little info of. So here is another piece in the puzzle to help us work this out. The TFND facebook page has posted a picture of what appears to be a platinum edition box set with artwork featuring Windblade, Chromia and Arcee in their Combiner Hunters deco. This confirms that these will not be available individually in these decos or part of a regular generations wave. The reflection of Devastator on the box may indicate that it is a companion piece to the SDCC Devastator recently revealed. What do you think?

Update: TFND updated their facebook page with the following image, which is probably from the inner flap or back of the box set:

Took me a minute, but I finally realize that's RID15 Bumblebee's sword in Chromia's hand.

So, my question, why couldn't Hasbro have just given Arcee 5mm hand holes to begin with?

Thats if TRU even gets it cause we all know the never restock. If you dont want people to have something hasbro just dont make it.

It's probably a SDCC exclusive, with overstock sold off on HTS as per usual.

It's probably futile to say it, but being all negative doesn't make people want it any less

This is what PMs are for. Speaking of which, check yours, I sent you some advice a few days ago that might help you not get banned.

So it's either wide retail or bust with you? That's not how it works.

Good eye! I was wondering where the sword came from. Dang, Arcee's weapon will be ginormous!

So, my question, why couldn't Hasbro have just given Arcee 5mm hand holes to begin with?

Just a silly thought, since Arcee was a complete TakaraTomy design (I forget who exactly did it) it may not have had to adhere to the 5mm standard. On the flipside, the retooling may mean the original weapons will be dropped from this release.

It is a good question, but important to note how involved her hands and gun are in her transformation. I think they may have made them flat so the gave ground clearance when holding the gun in alt mode.
But ya Jelz, you would think Tak would use 5mm pegs. They invented the things!
Do we know her hands have been retooled? Maybe the weapon was retooled.
How will she hold together in alt mode?
:-?

Instructions did a "GREAT" job of illustrating this.

I think it was Jelze who pointed this out to me actually.(or it might have been Sabrblade. either way they're both real smart.

Flash, I was totally being sarcastic when I said "GREAT". I hope you knew that.

I didn't pull them out either until I noticed how weird and dangly her arms were in alt mode, and then, of course they were of no help. :lol:

Yeah, I got it. I've always liked doing it without instructions anyway, but it seems like when I get stuck the instructions don't help either.

And getting more to topic, I tried shoving the pistol through her bellybutton... and then it ecided to not wanrt to come back out. Forcible removal ended up launching the thing across the room, and after retrivial, I don't think I'm gonna try that again...

Still, it's gonna be big! :shock:

Trivia: Yes, there are two versions of Beast Hunters Beast Hunter Optimus Prime's sword. An easy way to tell them apart is by looking at the guard where the blade connects to the hilt:

The smaller one that comes with Beast Tracker Optimus Prime has an additional peg on the side:

The one coming with Grand Scourge is the larger of the two.

None of these redecos are for me, except, maybe, Arcee. But the faction tattoo is so weird. It's a face on her face.

It's not retooled, just really well painted:

The only retooling done is on Arcee's hands.

Adding to the recent photos of the Transformers Combiner Hunters redecos of Arcee, Windblade and Chromia, entertainment and media website IGN has confirmed the status of both this trio and the Titan Devastator as this year's Hasbro offering at San Diego Comic Con 2015.

The IGN article also shows four alternate covers for the previously thought IDW Combiner Hunters one-shot comic issue, all in the hands of regular cover artist Sara Pitre-Durocher - revealing its status as the new monicker for the post-Combiner Wars stories in the three ongoing series (Windblade, The Transformers, More Than Meets the Eye). Check it all out below!

When it comes to Transformers toys, Hasbro is placing a lot of emphasis on the new Combiner Wars line this year. That trend will continue at San Diego Comic-Con, as Hasbro offers an exclusive box set of Combiner Hunter figures.

The Combiner Hunters collection will include three Deluxe Scale figures - Windblade, Arcee and Chromia. All three figures feature unique paint schemes and exclusive Combiner Hunter accessories. The set is based on the Combiner Hunters comic book storyline, which sees these three female Transformers team up to take down the original Combiner, Devastator.

Check out this set below, along with the standard Devastator set that will also be sold at the show:

I don't like Windblade at all. Far too busy with all those colours close together.

Arcee's the only one I'd consider buying but I wish she had a new face sculpt cos that expression is beyond bland. I'd probably paint over the tattoo too. Just for symmetry if nothing else.
