    Default ROTF 3rd FemBot Named?

    Ok...so yea, it IS wikipedia...and anyone can edit it...but i just thought Id post it anyway...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcee
    if you scroll down to the...Movie Plot section...it states the following.
    'Arcee and her sister units, Chromia and Moonracer, chase the Decepticon Sideways in a alley in Shanghai.'
    I guess we all expected Elita-1 to be the named...but once more...this is wikipedia...so its likely to be false.

    Hasbro at BotCon said that the only plans they had so far for a third bike, was a recolour of the Arcee toy. Sounds a bit lazy, but I guess the individual bikes weren't on screen much in robot mode, and didn't sit still long enough to get a good look at the robot modes, to see how differently the three look to each other.
    If the movie refers to all three as being Arcee (because it was originally meant to be a 3-part combiner, like the twins combining to be an icecream truck), there may not be any official naming of the other two in the movie universe, and could just be Hasbro naming toy products, reguardless of what the movie writers may or may not have called them.
    For those who have read the book adaptation of the movie - did the individual cycle-bots get named, especially when one was shot towards the end?
    If the movie writers gave each a different name, it is possible they gave each a Gen-1 name.

    No... I don't think I read the book about 3 weeks ago. I believe it just mentioned Arcee and 3 spoke at once.

    Until we see Hasbro packaging with "Moonracer" or some sort of official store listing, treat Moonracer as being made up. On the tfwiki, we've had to keep reverting edits from people who wander in and put that Moonracer name onto various articles. Bloody Wikipedia.

    Also, consider this - back in 2005 the BotCon people had to name their Moonracer figure "Chromia" because Hasbro was unable to trademark Moonracer. Somebody else had already trademarked that name.
