Folks over at The Arker have posted images of two previously unseen Revenge of the Fallen toys in their packages, Dune Runner and Scalpel (deluxe class).
Scalpel
A very small Decepticon ‘medic’ with a microscope alt mode
Scalpel has a massive database of anatomical data for millions of creatures across the universe. He can unassemble anything that doesn’t struggle to much in a matter of minutes, and usually puts it back together with only a few parts in the wrong place. He serves as medic to the Decepticon army, but most Decepticons prefer to suffer in silence rather than allow Scalpel to work on them.
Dune Runner
An autobot that roams the deserts and mountains
Back on Cybertron, most rolling surfaces are flat, lightly textured roads — perfect for speed and traction. It wasn’t until he got to Earth that Dune Runner experienced anything like […]. He can’t say he enjoyed the new vehicle mode, but he appreciates that it lets him patrol the deserts and mountains where many Decepticons have taken to hiding.

The packet describes Chromia’s character as a female friend of Ironhide (partners — aka a love interest) with sisters, presumably two given the three different bikes.
