That is the ugliest piece of scrapmetal ever built. It would fit into most of the bayformers well.

Like I said in another thread, this looks bad. Why's there only one head?

Well, I do kinda like this concept, though.
It's interesting.

OH my good gravy!

This only further proves how little the designers and filmmakers cared about their product- as it appears to be that a "combined mode" consists of three robots rolled into into a ball like unwanted pieces of play-doh.

Her head is on her shoulder for crying out loud!

I'd say by not including it in the movie, the filmmakers were showing restraint, but I prefer to think they just forgot because all three of them were insufficient in the breast department, and thus not worth their time.

i was really hoping this wouldn't happen. i figured the 3 individual bikes/bots looked so odd in robot mode to accomodate for them to have a cool combined mode. but combined they just look like a bigger weirder version of their individual bot modes! huge dissapointment!!

Looks like there are only two bikes in that artwork...

Couldn't they create a bipedal combination that could also move around on wheels?

The blue one is in the back, forming the backbone.

By the way, did anybody notice the title? "Arcee (Motorcycle Gang Combo Mode 03" Does that mean there are three configurations, one for each bike?

I saw that too, it looks like they might have a rotating gimmick similar to Land Fill.

I would have made Chromia the head, & upper body and some how make the Cannon arm extendable for a combined left arm. then make Arcee a leg and part of the lower body. then make Flareup the other leg and right arm.

This all can change based on how Flareup's deluxe figure is going to be.

then by what is in the art work, i would keep Flareup about the same, make arcee's wheel that is in the air the right leg, then make Chromia the left arm

It's quite ugly, but I don't understand why they didn't use it in the movie... I mean, what's the point on having three robots that look the same if they don't end combining in some way? they could just have arcee, because they didn't gave the robots to much of a role in the movie so it wouldn't have been too much different...

or they could have used the cgi time and money of those two extra bike robots to do two more autobots

The problem here is that all of this particular designer's work seems to be very early (though gorgeous) and quite far from what was used. Thus, this combined form seems to be a combination of three bikes that are quite different from the 3 bikes we got in the movie, meaning that the combined form may be nothing like this in the end.

Disappointing. Was kind of foolishly hoping to see the combined form and think "Aha, now I get it!"
