What's the blue thing on Arcee's shoulder?

either an alternate part/misassembly or, their is a combined mode and hasbro has been lying to us the entire time. Probably the former... still want them to combine though.

Each of them (or at least Arcee and Chromia) come with a removable weapon/piece thing.

I think they look really good, I might just be getting them. I'm hoping Reprolabels makes some stickers for the symbols on the sides of the bikes.

EDIT: Chromia's accesory is the blue sword-looking piece, which you can see in the background of that picture, so I'm not sure what that is on Arcee's shoulder either

Bit off topic, but how does everyone rate Stinger? I managed to pick one up cheap and I feel thoroughly whelmed.

Are you talking about vehicle scale? Robot mode scale has actually been set with the Studio Series (actually I'm hearing that AoE onwards has figures that work with the scale).

He’s an average figure to me, nothing too special but nothing to hold him back either, and then there is the fact that he isn’t a major character, so he’s pretty much the equivalent of a glorified background character. But if you put him with a few of the KSI sentries, I get the feeling that he will pop out as a sort of vehicon general, so he has that going for him.

alt mode scale is a bit wonky, but the robot mode scales since AOE have pretty much been consistent. It's been pretty nice

I agree, and vehicle scale has never been an issue for me with the toys.

To be honest, I'd really want a voyager box with the two ice-cream twins. The 2009 deluxe that split into two scouts need to be updated badly. A very compressed "voyager" vehicle that would split into two normal sized "deluxes" using Animated Lockdown magic would be just perfect.

Except that's not in scale at all. A current deluxe that splits into 2 legends would work great and be in scale with the line to go with the 3 pack legion Arcees.

Even if they did the twins in their individual car modes, a deluxe 2 pack is probably the best way to go

However the ice-cream twins would be way too small as scouts. Unless they do some engineering magic to make the bot twins the same size as jazz.

In that case, the individual normal twins would be freakishly small. Jazz himself is a "deluxe" that is basically a scout. With the engineering needed to pull off the twins, the part count per figures would make them deluxe priced even though they would be scout sized. Plus they would be extremely annoying to transform due to the tiny parts.

Anyway, the twins will come one way or another. We just have to wait and see.
