Well then, that really works. Never seen that kind of pic before, so yeah, it works! thanks!

Nightbird retains the problem of the Arcee mold, namely, her 'child birthing' hips.
Slipstream looks... very chipper for a fem Con.
And I'm not sure why they're replacing Blackarachnia's fangs with 'scoops'. The only reason would be that the designers are guys, and they wanted to see the TFA BA mold with more pronounced mommy-bags....
I don't get why this is a problem for you.. or anyone, I've heard the complaint before. Why? what are you expecting?

They find a species that has scoop shaped pedipalps instead of very obvious fangs, and go with that? It still looks like they're trying to make her a constructicon digger - or maybe a worker at Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream parlor.
Spiders need fangs to look fearsome, not scoops

Hey, you aren't too far gone! Don't start feeling old yet!
And it's perfectly acceptable to call a bot "hot". How many humans have fallen for a bot or a con in the 31 years? I personally find the new Arcee really attractive. Of course I may be biased: Her body type matches my girlfriends almost perfectly!

Better proportions. The manufacturers have proved that they CAN retool a design when they want to in order to improve aesthetics. They could have done something to narrow the hips a smidgen on the arcee mold, but they didn't, and once it's set in resin, they pretty much give up on fixing any flaws (which is why they won't fix Lockdown's hands for example).
Arcee's hips just look off to me. Back in the days of the Renaissance, that look was popular for women, as evidenced by a lot of the art. They preferred 'voluptuous' women (i.e., 'chubby'). And to be fair - some folks still like that look. I call it a flaw, because I don't like the look. To my eye, the hips just seem out of proportion with the rest of the body. The shins, the arms, the chest and head have a very narrow, athletic look to them, which is in keeping with how Arcee is usually drawn in the comics and such. But then, kablammo - the hips/thighs flare out all voluptuous and interrupt the aesthetics.
Again, that seems to be fine for most folks and they see no problem with it. Not so with me.

There's no "Predacons" in Car Robots either (only Cybertrons, Destrongers, and Combatrons), so nothing was stopping them from using "Decepticon" just as they used "Predacon". Besides, the insignia used is for "Combatron". The Destronger insignia was , which was not used for this toy.

Well, how would you call a Destronger in English using familiar and available names? There are no Decepticons in Car Robots, so...
