A combiner with Strika as the body, Slipstream as a jet/arm, Flamewar as a motorcycle/leg and maybe two new characters would have been awesome!
I see the problem being that when different elements are voted on by fans separately, Autobot will always win, and Female will always win (like it did with Windblade and other various fan-votes).
If they had a single voting category of "Autobot male, Autobot female, Decepticon male, Decepticon female", it might make it more interesting, and could see a Decepticon female win.
Maybe.
