Loving Windblade and Arcee's face tattoo, and am grateful for the photos... but christ. He has the finished product in box in hand. It'd be nice if he took more than a few photos every few days

I'm digging that retooled chestplate- it really looks like samurai armour.

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.

I'm curious about those symbols on Chromia's sword. Did she kill Devastator 5 times, or what?

Posted by Sabrblade on June 5th, 2015 @ 12:08pm CDT

Chromia's sword is RID 2015 Titan Hero Optimus's sword, and Windblade's weapon is RID 2015 Titan Hero Bumblebee's weapon. Arcee's weapon is the giant one from Beast Hunter Optimus Prime.

The reveals keep on coming today! Thanks to IGN that comfirmed the Transformers Combiner Hunters redecos of Arcee, Windblade and Chromia reported earlier, they also released new official images! It appears that each fembot will come with a giant sword taken from figures from verious other lines.

I don't think they made Arcee's sword big enough.

Re: New images of Combiner Hunters 3 pack and first look at Windblade redeco (1695015)
Posted by Carnivius_Prime on June 5th, 2015 @ 12:32pm CDT

Yeah, not liking the Windblade figure at all. I have a dislike for figures with so many obvious bits sticking out of the robot mode (usually ones with jetplane alt-modes). I like the limbs on Transformers to look as compact as possible with nothing sticking out greatly. Just makes more sense for characters who are supposed to fight. The weapons look silly as well. Can I just get the black Arcee and be done with it?

Also their modern designs and paintschemes really make Devastator look even more horribly dated than he already does. Just seems like a really odd choice of opponents.

Did you know this off the top of your head? or did you have to look it up? just wondering

'Kay, now I really want this set. Quick question, what are Windblade and Chromia's swords redecoed from?

Re: New images of Combiner Hunters 3 pack and first look at Windblade redeco (1695020)
Posted by HammerOfThor on June 5th, 2015 @ 12:40pm CDT

Theres no way Arcee can hold that sword like that without support.

That being said, this set looks awesome!

I wonder what the story will be for them to get these new decos. perhaps those swords gave them some sorta powerups?

Beast Hunter 'Dragon Fire' Optimus may not have sold well, but they're sure getting a lot of mileage out of that sword mold...

Good thing Arcee is more or less stable on her feet....

Still on the fence with Devastator...

Those are some giant swords, it might look cooler if they were the same scale as the box art. But I guess they've gotta big if they're hunting combiners.

She's the biggest Ultimate Warrior fan on Cybertron.

Yeah, there's no way they're holding those poses with those giant weapons without support.

It appears that Arcee's gone to the Anime/JRPG school of swordsmanship.

Those weapons are comically oversized, especially Arcee's. Like, you could scale Arcee's sword down by 50% and it would still be too gigantic.

As cool as this set is I'm not sure if it's cool enough to justify the inevitable insane secondary market prices...

Also, I REALLY hope the comics don't decide to go full Tumblr feminist "HURR LOOK AT US STRONG INDEPENDENT MARY SUE WOMEN KILLING ALL THE COMBINERS GURRRRRL POWAH". I mean, the concept of Arcee, Chromia and Windblade hunting Devastator is awesome, but...I dunno, it might be irrational but I have a forboding feeling of dread about the execution of the story. Call it intuition.

I never said THAT was good either. Although the comparison is a little off given the particular brand of stupidity I'm referring to is the combination of "UNKILLABLE MARY SUE BADASS LOL" with "ERMAHGERD MUH STRONK EMPOWERED WOMAN WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN".

There is a difference between having tough girls that need to be tough to survive and get the job done, and having tough girls taking the roll of the guys and the guys being the wimps. In this picture for example:
