TFG2 has posted artwork revealing the 3rd motorcycle Autobot from Transformers Revenge of The Fallen. This robot is sister to Arcee and Chromia. Initially, they were to combine to form a bigger robot in the film, but that was cancelled. However, the combining aspect still made it onto the figures, and we have yet to see this character in toy form.

People were actually expecting the name to be Moonracer?
IIRC, Hasbro can't use that name 'cause its trademarked by Royal Treasury, LLC.

*sigh* This is so completely unfair. After all the anticipation of the combined mode, and discovering the connector tabs on Chromia and Arcee, they won't produce instructions on how to combine them? If Flareup even has a connector tab…

Too bad for people who guessed this bike for Moonracer.
Nevermore
I'm not sure I want to see that.

Just show me how they fucking combine already!!!!!

I am just gonna call them all Arcee. And really, the purple one (being the most badass looking of the lot) will be the main one to me.

Flareup reminds me of some kind of infection, it's an awful name. Moonracer was the best option by far, and that's always what I'll consider her as.
Keroshino
looks like I was right about the name "Flareup"

it's in the Q&A section
it mentions…
– What's the 3rd Arcee piece? Arcee, Cromia and Flareup
– Will they produce Flareup? They'll offer the 3rd eventually. But when she is released, there won't be instructions to combine her.

It's unfortunate the purple bike will only be a repaint, as her design is the best one. I wish Hasbro would reconsider.

They need to do this for a toy and not a stupid repaint.
@l3x
The first time I read that I thought it was dirty.

I think that's actually the concept art for Arcee, not the third bike.

Wow, that couldn't sound any more Mary Sue. Anyway someone has posted her name as Elita One on the Transformer Wiki. Never mind this could be a totally new Bayverse character that doesn't homage a single fembot from G1.

*sigh* Why couldn't they have just used the Arcee design from 2007…
These deformed fem-bots make the 2007 Arcee (and her Deluxe toy) oh so much better looking in every way.

After seeing what it did to the formerly beautiful Motorcycle Sisters, Knock Out has renounced his dreams of becoming a combiner.

Frikkin' awesome!!!!

Also they all had roughly the same forms in the original script for the film however it was changed so Hasbro could create different molds.

Bay already said that he didn't end up liking arcee's design in the end, so he had her die in the movie. Unfortunate, because I think arcee, being one of the few girlbots, should get just as much attention as any other character, such as starscream or ironhide.
Mechafire
He actually said her face.
It does look more feminine, because purplish pink is a feminine color.
