Meh.

ELITA ONE! ELITA ONE!

[liegeprime]

So Elita is a recolour right? Hmmm they shouldve instead named her different and mebbe continued with a "gestalt" of the 3 bikes .. named Elita 1..ah well.

Yeah she's just a repaint of Chromia. Apparently. I thought she was going to come with a specific piece that let the "gestalt" piece happen but I've been told that she's a complete repaint of Chromia and there are no extra parts. Apparently some have tried to put together this combiner mode before using 1 arcee and 2 chromias but I'm patient enough just to wait for good ol' Elita-One. Maybe I should buy a 3rd Gi Joe so that my 3 bikes have 3 riders!!

Mudflap? Again? Why not Skids?

Can you point us in the direction towards pictures of the combined form (even if two of the characters are the same blue colour)?

I have no idea, I heard that others tried this on another thread. I think it was in the Discussion thread and was titled 'motorcycle sisters' or something like that. I could try looking though :)

This 3rd Mudflap model will come out after the 2nd Skids model.
So far it's been...

Skids/Mudflap -> Tuner Mudflap -> Tuner Skids -> New Mudflap

So hopefully they'll be a 3rd Skids coming...

Why in the name of all things good and sane would you be hoping for yet another repaint?

I'd rather see something actually cool like the boat with that railgun on it become a transformer toy. The robot would have a nice big gun.

So that there is an even amount of Skids and Mudflap deluxe toys out there for the kids that may have missed them the first time round?

[MV75]

There were enough of them the first time around (I still see them), to not miss out on. :)

She's a straight redeco save for the connector. That new connector will allow to combine all 3 bikes. It's impossible to do it with 2 Chromias and 1 Arcee right now.

Not true. Tformers has an article showing a potential combination of the three bikes. Looks quite good. Although currently it sits in the Mindwide/Sparkstalker armour combination area of legitimacy.

Ah thought so, goes from three bits of crud to one massive thing of crud. :)

We've already seen the combination and it looks nothing like this. That's just some made up fan mode.

Wow, It looks like something bled to death on Mudflap's roof. :/

I'm with MV75 on this, there is no justification for another mudflap or skids repaint. It's just dumb.

TELL HASBRO THAT!

I WILL WITH MY WALLET!

OKAY THEN! lol

Previously I said "This 3rd Mudflap model will come out after the 2nd Skids model.

Well personally I don't hope that there will be a 3rd Skids. What I meant was I think that Hasbro is trying to make the MOST of these molds (even if it means re-releasing the molds for the 3RD TIME), probably because it took so much effort to make and they're trying to milk every cent possible, even though they know that most of us don't like the twins ;)

You'll find that I acknowledged that when I said it currently sits on par with the Skystalker-Mindwipe armour combination in terms of officiality - both are fan modes, but damn good ones.

Considering the "official" combination that we've seen never made it into the movie, it currently dwells in the realm of concept art and Hasbro has no obligation to ensure their final combination looks like this. In addition, the concept art we have seen was designed with "Flare-Up" (what I will term the third, pink motorcycle sister with the backpack and wheel hand) and not two Chromias. It would therefore be near impossible to achieve, even with a flipped connector, which, by the way, has never had any official confirmation (or denial).

Short story is Hasbro can basically do whatever they want, because nothing we have seen so far has been official - it's either concept art, fan modes, or speculation. They don't even have to give us a combining figure, but have decided to do so anyway, by releasing instructions for the combiner online.

So basically, all we have to do is wait until Elita-One comes out and then we can finally know whether there is a connector piece or not. :)

Where's the factory thieves when you actually need them eh? :)

Or wait a couple weeks until I get mine. :)

The fate of the combiners lies upon you now PascTF!

[PascTF]

Or Peaugh, if he's getting one too. He usually gets his stuff several days before me if we order on the same day because Canada Post just plain sucks.
