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?

Instead of just releasing the figures individually they put them in a set that no store will carry except TRU, the base prices is going to be inflated cause its "platinum" then TRU is going to raise the price more cause its what they do. 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?
:-?

Thanks MSG!
But I see flat hand pegs...

This could very well be a prototype or color mock-up. I dunno?

Disclaimer: I've now had Arcee for a whopping 17hrs, so I'm new to the mold. What do you mean by "Holding the weapon in alt mode?" I thought tyhey just kinda shoved up outta the way? Going to go peruse the galleries

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.

I'm looking forward to this set. I'm surprised that we haven't seen much of Windblade in the wild though...

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...
