Well, I do kinda like this concept, though.
It's interesting.

This only further proves how little the designers and filmmakers cared about their product- as it appears to be that a "combined mode" consists of three robots rolled into into a ball like unwanted pieces of play-doh.
Her head is on her shoulder for crying out loud!
I'd say by not including it in the movie, the filmmakers were showing restraint, but I prefer to think they just forgot because all three of them were insufficient in the breast department, and thus not worth their time.

Couldn't they create a bipedal combination that could also move around on wheels?

The blue one is in the back, forming the backbone.
By the way, did anybody notice the title? "Arcee (Motorcycle Gang Combo Mode 03" Does that mean there are three configurations, one for each bike?

This all can change based on how Flareup's deluxe figure is going to be.
then by what is in the art work, i would keep Flareup about the same, make arcee's wheel that is in the air the right leg, then make Chromia the left arm

or they could have used the cgi time and money of those two extra bike robots to do two more autobots

Disappointing. Was kind of foolishly hoping to see the combined form and think "Aha, now I get it!"

I'm kind of halvsies on this myself--the cyclebots got VERY little screentime/development save as I guess triplets. Don't know why I'd need three unless they could actually combine. Kind of.
Still, it's a weird combine. Like they went out of their way to make not just the individual figures but the combination pretty darn hideous. Devastator's at least kind of *cute*, in a big suck-up-the-world way. This combination is 'send straight men screaming into the night'.
HK, not that I'd know anything about that.

I doubt it, in the world of concept art when things are labeled numerically or in A's and B's its because there were previous versions of this concept already rendered, and the Art Directors want to see still more. Not different combinations, just different artist takes on this one concept.
God knows I would luv to see these other concepts, only because of all the concept artist to work on this film, Jung is by far my least favorite. Proctor and Nizzi and others just set a high bar in terms of their character design, Jung strikes me more of a environment painter or Promotional art being he seems to have worked on the Poster.
Still looking around hopeful for that Movie Concept book to pop out of the blue.
*Sigh*
