TFG2.com has posted up three more pieces of Revenge of the Fallen Concept artwork. Shown this time is the Decepticon Demolishor, and the remaining two Autobot bikes, Arcee and Chromia. These artworks give a good look at these three characters and reveal details that you might not see on the big screen or the toys, such as how Demolishor’s scoops divide up to transform into fingers. Check out the artwork by clicking on the link above, or click on the title of this story to view our mirror.

Man, Concept art makes me wish the toys could be completely accurate. Chromia looks a -lot- better in that art, Especially in color. Arcee looks awesome too.
And if Demolisher had fingers like that, I'd be more interested in his toy. It'd be only a slight more interest, but still…

it's not in stock now, but it was this morning, i'll tell you when i get the dispatched email or when it comes in, It doesn't have anything like preorder now or anything, so i'm guessing it's in stock now
User_136440
You sure it was 'in stock'? Every time I've checked it says 'usually available in 1-3 weeks'! I did preorder it but cancelled when I got an email saying it would be sent once in stock.

wow, you're right o.o!
(if they release it after all… I wanna see the combined mode in CGI even if they dropped it… as the first movie Arcee)
but if we read the comics, the combined version must be that one that is painted full blue/purple, 'cause she doesn't look anything like the CGI that we got, oh well, just to wait for the design of the combined sisters

RF:
Checked out. Blecch, what a mess that toy is!
I still don't think the robot mode was designed to stand twisted-around like that all the time. It just wouldn't make any sense to have the center of mass out to the side like that. There goes that physics again.
The toy designers might have interpreted the concept art too literally. It's happened before.

my only fear with the arcee's fate is that bay said that he disliked them a while back and decided to kill them off at some point in the film (jerk)
Tarkyroth
Thanks. Hmm.. it looks like Bay didn't exactly kill her off, but didn't give them any credit of any kind either.

Robot Replicas of the bike sisters would rock so hard! I doubt it would happen though, they aren't the biggest stars of this movie and I don't know if Hasbro would invest money into more versions of characters who may not be incredibly popular to begin with.
Still, we know Arcee is getting a FAB and a legends figure, plus the smaller toy that comes with HA Skids (assuming that one is not the legends toy) – so I might be wrong. Here's hoping I am.
I doubt they die. Being shot and falling over does not constitute death in the movie franchise – and since so many dead bots keep coming back, I don't think anything really does.

SPOILER
it's not clear, 2 parts of her get shot and fall over, the other part fights back, but we dont see them again (not sure if in credits, as didnt stay for them on friday, watching again on wednesday though, so MIGHT be clearer
PS how do i do that block of black over the text for a spoiler here?
Tarkyroth
Huhhhhh… I really miss the original concept that was initially used for the first movie. I found myself, despite me being a human and her being a robot, actually falling in love with the image. That 'teen robot girl' concept was really up to my tastes. Then I was horrified to see how the concept changed to make her thinner.. no, almost skeletal like Frenzy, and her breasts showing. These wheel-snake design, though I admit they aren't so bad after all, don't appeal to me much. Well, can't be helped though. There's something called.. 'fanwork.'
By the way, does Arcee really die?
Oracle_Aesir
um guys, I've just paid for my Art of the Movies book on Amazon.co.uk, and it was in stock, it should be here in 3-5 business days
User_136440
Yeah, and in that sense the biker bots toys are very very accurate, which makes it a bit annoying that the on-screen versions were obviously tweaked with a lot afterwards. I'd have thought once you'd sent s design off to be made into a solid, ohysical representation that would be the time to stop! But hey, what do I know!

Oooooh look really closely at Arcee's left Shouler, you can see the partial head and Eye of the Concept Arcee's head from the 2007 toyline.
Yummy, this proves that they are supposed to combine and that Arcee is the Torso & Head.
racnruin
Lovin all the concept art pic's !

Nice to see that they all look that ugly on purpose and weren't just botched in the toy phase. It's like the reverse of what happened in the last movie.

I hope they look great on screen, but as individual toys–IMHO they are a no go. Maybe if they do come in a set of 3.
For both quotes: I believe I saw this at Books a Million, you might try searching BAM for this title, IIRC it was a new release in the Graphic Novels area. I looked the book over, but passed on buying, possibly it was only TF1 movie info, not 100% sure..
Edit: Just looked up on BAM they show the same order/shipping date; April 2010. I think the store I was in did have the TF1 movie book. Sorry.
Razorwing
so Arcee's toy is pretty accurate to the movie design.. lol Peaugh doesn't like it though. lol.

wow i really like the look of the bikes
