The Combiner Wars news continues to rush in! This time, we have box artwork to what appears to be a package of three fembots – Arcee, Chromia, and Windblade! This image comes to us courtesy of TFND’s Facebook page, and thanks to TFW2005.COM member Slimaximus for pointing us all to it.
UPDATE:
Forum member Cheem The Rup shared an update. A second image showcasing new artwork has been released by TFND. It has been added after the jump.
The artwork suggests a few things to us. The reflection of Devastator in Arcee’s meelee weapon and the fact that this is a boxed set may be an indication that this set will be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive, as the sets could be made to “face off” with each other. There are several notable details that suggest additional paint applications (such as the Autobot faction symbol on Arcee’s face) that could indicate a “Premium” type of release, which would also be consistent with a SDCC exclusive release.
Is this something you’re excited about? Be sure to join into the ongoing discussion to share your thoughts with us after the jump!

Wish they were ever released not in a one pack.
I love Arcee's black repaint, but I think WBs colors are ugly and don't care at all about Chromia.

It's interesting (though not terribly surprising given what we knew already) that Bruticus is mentioned, though the real mystery is what the target is over at Unicron? I suppose good money says that it's the Technobots, though (again given what we know).

Asking a question I think I already know the answer to:
Do they only sell exclusives like these in a set? I'm not that interested in Chromia or Arcee, but like the Windblade exclusive.
Maybe I need to find someone who wants the other two and make an offer?

Oh that deco looks beautiful. Facepaint is still the weakest aspect.

I have the original fembots but am tempted to get this set.
Will have to get my LCS onto this.

Still not liking her face.
Everything else looks great.

You're more than a week late with that:

Arcee and Chromia look really nice.
I think Windblade should have had a drastically different colour scheme though.

Hahahaha nice one.
Totally.
Funny I'm the exact opposite. Windblade and Chromia feel more like a repack repaint while Arcee just feels different to me.

This had occurred to me too, though as Autovolt mentioned, I can understand why they'd pass on RiD stuff for something more collector-themed.
Not sure what to do with this.

…I want to see a flag made for Windblade's staff, so she can be the Standard Bearer.
I like a lot of what is going on in this set, feel like there's a certain Monster Hunter vibe to the whole thing. They equipped some Legendary gear and now they're going in the wilds to bring down a tremendous beast (Combiner, in this case).
My only issue, and its a minor one, is I would've liked to have seen Chromia and Windblade had their colours changed more significantly. Arcee being the only vast deco change reminds me a lot of the multi-packs that came out during Hunt for the Decepticons; where one figure would be different, and everything else in the box was largely the same as its original retail release.

Psyched for this set! Victorion will be very welcome too. I think it's great that the female bots are finally being worked into the line. I've always felt the collections were lacking without them.

Uh, to who? Females? If that's the case, Victorion must me the uber pandering set of the year.
