Final 2010 Hasbro Transformers Q&A Answers for Cybertron.ca

[Super_Megatron]

Cybertron.ca: Is there actually combination instructions for the movie Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 figures? And if so, when are they going to be online?
Hasbro: We're excited to say that the team has been incredibly busy preparing for the release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Unfortunately as a result, we have not had a chance to create the instructions which show the sequence for combining Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 figures together. This still remains on our list of things to do and we hope to put this out sooner rather than later.

Cybertron.ca: Recently you made the packaging change from plastic covered wire ties to a plastic rope ties. I noticed that the new ties rub the paint on the toys. I noticed this on the WFC Generations figures and had to look through several of each to get ones with little paint rubbing. Is there another way that figures could be packed where they will not get paint rub marks?
Hasbro: In the move to the new rattan ties this issue has come up and we are working with our team to alleviate this issue. It is still a work in progress and appreciate your thoughts on this.

Somehow I don't feel like the end result of their combination will be worth the wait. I mean, if they were serious about it, we would have gotten Flareup (who would likely have had her combination peg on the left of her body) instead of Elita-1, simply a repaint of Chromia. And the fact that their excuse is that they don't have time to draw up some instructions leads me to believe that they may not even have a combination thought up yet.

As for the rope and paint wear, I've not really noticed anything substantial, but I guess that's because I always look for figures with the least 'flaws' and tend to ignore ones I see as soon as I see a problem.

Well I'm glad they're interested in giving us the "combined mode" instructions eventually.

Maybe they'll be released with the next movie? Are the arcee triplets even in the next movie? I don't think I know...

According to Bay/Orci and Kurtzman they were all destroyed. So odds are that that's a no.

All of them? I was sure that at least one of them survived and is seen as the bike that Makiela was riding at the end of the movie.

Is there really supposed to be another biker chick mold? I though Elita-1 was that last piece of the puzzle we needed?

In all of the past Q&As, has anyone asked about the Hasbro release of MP Rodimus? I haven't seen anything regarding Hasbro's release plans.

Ya, all of them. Oddly, by the footage it would appear that Chromia should have survived, but it was said that they were all destroyed.

As for another mold, there was apparently going to be one based on this image.


She was going to be Flareup but they seemed to have changed her name to Elita-1. Then, instead of making a new mold they just repainted Chromia. So it would seem like this is it for the bike sisters. So yes, Elita-1 is the last one.

So, effectively, the answer to the combined bike sisters question is "no", with a possibility of it changing to "hell no".

I took the answer as a "yes, but we're not going to tell you" with the possibility of it changing to a "No."

[Team Jetfire]

Bahaha, that first answer is hysterical.
