Official images of 2015 SDCC exclusive Transformer Combiner Hunters three pack

DEVASTATOR

were comin' for you

I don't think they made Arcee's sword big enough.

Yeah, not liking the Windblade figure at all. I have a dislike for figures with so many obvious bits sticking out of the robot mode (usually ones with jetplane alt-modes). I like the limbs on Transformers to look as compact as possible with nothing sticking out greatly. Just makes more sense for characters who are supposed to fight. The weapons look silly as well. Can I just get the black Arcee and be done with it?

Also their modern designs and paintschemes really make Devastator look even more horribly dated than he already does. Just seems like a really odd choice of opponents.

Did you know this off the top of your head? or did you have to look it up? just wondering

'Kay, now I really want this set. Quick question, what are Windblade and Chromia's swords redecoed from?

Theres no way Arcee can hold that sword like that without support.

That being said, this set looks awesome!

I wonder what the story will be for them to get these new decos. perhaps those swords gave them some sorta powerups?

Beast Hunter 'Dragon Fire' Optimus may not have sold well, but they're sure getting a lot of mileage out of that sword mold...

Good thing Arcee is more or less stable on her feet....

Still on the fence with Devastator...

Those are some giant swords, it might look cooler if they were the same scale as the box art. But I guess they've gotta big if they're hunting combiners.

I will have that 3-pack.

Chromia apparently rushed right over from her last fight as a Luchador.

She's the biggest Ultimate Warrior fan on Cybertron.

Yeah, there's no way they're holding those poses with those giant weapons without support.

Emerje

$75 is super awesome for these 3! Only one I have the original of is Windblade, and I WILL have this set, I don't care how much I may have to pay.

It appears that Arcee's gone to the Anime/JRPG school of swordsmanship.

I can't go to SDCC this year, so which online retailers do you guys think will have this set?

I sure do. First eBay listings have the gals listed at $200.

Soooooo... anyone going to SDCC this year?

Those weapons are comically oversized, especially Arcee's. Like, you could scale Arcee's sword down by 50% and it would still be too gigantic.

No.
I hope I can find this set for around 75 dollars or less on Ebay.

This times 10 with a cherry on top... And an 80's German fem mullet.
They are either the back up singers for The Knights of Cybertron, or their rivals in the intergalactic battle if the bands.

I would only get the set for Arcee.

Huge swords......SOLD

gimme gimme gimme

Just noticed in that IGN robot toy image, Arcee is crying blood instead of having her face tattoo...

That's a pretty awesome looking set.

Oh yeah I didn't notice that!

I REALLY WANT THIS SET! Hopefully I can find it for less than $100.00 on Ebay.

I don't like their faces, but otherwise they're not bad.


Those weapons are ridiculous though.

As cool as this set is I'm not sure if it's cool enough to justify the inevitable insane secondary market prices...

Also, I REALLY hope the comics don't decide to go full Tumblr feminist "HURR LOOK AT US STRONG INDEPENDENT MARY SUE WOMEN KILLING ALL THE COMBINERS GURRRRRL POWAH". I mean, the concept of Arcee, Chromia and Windblade hunting Devastator is awesome, but...I dunno, it might be irrational but I have a forboding feeling of dread about the execution of the story. Call it intuition.

Yeah I know what you mean, but I love badass girls!

I'm not seeing any problems with this considering that's Optimus in the movies

I never said THAT was good either. Although the comparison is a little off given the particular brand of stupidity I'm referring to is the combination of "UNKILLABLE MARY SUE BADASS LOL" with "ERMAHGERD MUH STRONK EMPOWERED WOMAN WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN".

There is a difference between having tough girls that need to be tough to survive and get the job done, and having tough girls taking the roll of the guys and the guys being the wimps. In this picture for example:
It's not Elita one being tough for a good reason, it's to make optimus look like a wimpy girl.

Alright, let's cut to the chase. Where's Elita-One and her crew?

Seibertron wrote:Alright, let's cut to the chase. Where's Elita-One and her crew?

Uh oh it's the boss!

Yeah! Where is Moonracer? And Beta? And other G1 fembots?

And guys, just on a side note, when was the last time we got a good Moonracer figure from Hasbro and/or Takara?

Moonracer with Firestar, anyone? Blame trademarks on this. On that note, have an Elita-1:

Making Optimus look like a wimp is a very good reason - though in that image, a favourite of mine, he's being emotionally taken by the strength of his established partner (which is the exact reversal of what usually takes place in TF fiction). And 'girl' is not an insult, so not sure what you're getting at here.


I would invite both Delta Magnus and Silly to read the current IDW ongoings, in which all three characters have been established in their distinct and individual personalities. Combiner Hunters, if anything, will build on that.

In addition, perhaps something on positive, wider representation and diversity in fiction, too.

OK, at first I wasn't into this set at all(except for Arcee a little), but the more I look at this...



The more I think about these gals...

The Pointer Sisters

Or even better, these fly fillies...


And we all know who was behind the MJ Girls,
This guy...


and since I have this guy ...

playing the role of that guy...

I think now I really need this set!

I thought that was the last Moonracer we have gotten. Hasbro/Takara, make it happen.
We also need a new Elita-1, not some cheap repaint, but an original mold. Or at least a good remold like Generations Chromia.

ergh...not really digging these re-decos. Honestly, as a group they look pretty awful and they are rather pointless. If they were supposed to be new characters it would be cool but as existing characters I...no. These are dreadful.

Well that is too bad because I think they look AWESOME! I couldn't get the original version of Arcee, so getting one, with not only an awesome paint scheme, but also fixed hands, and a bunch of new and pointless weapons? Must buy for me! =)

Following the trend of recent years, they'll probably be available on Hasbro Toy Shop on a random day after the con. The listings will go up in the middle of the night and they'll all be gone by morning before any normal person has a chance to order them.

Hey man, if you like em get em! They aren't for me. I have heard that Takara will be releasing remolds of some other fembots. My money will go to them

Thanks man! I am a fan of badass fembot repaints! I think it is cool that these characters are in the comics.

Sorry to post two things in a row, but I just wanted to point out how awesome you are Optimizzy! It's so awesome to see people agree to disagree for a change rather than being narrowminded. I wish everyone could be like you in the forums!!

That answer your question?

But it's okay for the male TransFormers to be tough and the women be wimpy? You can't ever have a fembot wipe the floor with a man? Yeah, that's sexist.

So you're saying women need men? Again, that's sexist.

If y'all don't like kickass female characters, then don't read/watch/whatever it is that has them in it... but many people DO enjoy strong, killer women. Xena: Warrior Princess was popular for a reason.
