Right, so it's not a blunder and you've just been lying to us. Okay.

And now I'm thinking Freedom will launch on COV's anniversary.

Cool, they will sacrifice Manticore for signature arcs. 
I never liked that dbag anyway lol. Hope you get to kill him yourself and just label it as a "death by a random villain" when it comes to the game lore.
It might make the Task Force Commander accolade difficult to get, but the LRSF slightly easier

Just you wait, the next time you look at the image, Manticore will sneak back in there.

I LOVE this pic purely on its artwork. I'd like to see a higher-resolution version of it, but even from what I can see here, everyone looks like a human being, no-one is exceptionally goofy and I admire expert hand that made this a reality. The Freedom Phalanx - let's face it - all have pretty goofy costumes, but this artwork makes them all look badass and cool. Even the Statesman, and that's saying something for THAT costume. Job well done!

Take a close look at Citadel's left-rear shoulder. It has a sharp section taken out of it that looks suspiciously like a spike from Manticore's "Mane" thingy he wears.
If we were to assume that *was* where Manti's headdress intersected over Citadel, then his quiver placement makes sense as well.
So Manti might of been in front of Citadel, and behind states. When they Shopped him out they left in the quiver, and forgot to patch up the little section in Citadel?
That all being said, I think its a fantastic piece of artwork, and we all just have nothing better to do than pick it apart ;P
So now there's two distinct theories.
1) Photoshopping/Artist/Marketing error. Supported by Z. Seems the more likely cause at this time.
2) Prelude to Freedom. Manticore is dead/missing/whatever, and the team is bearing his quiver (maybe bow too) for sentimental reasons. Also explains Sister Psyche's absence.
Statesman just throws arrows at people now. He don' need no steekin' bow....

Despite the clusterwossname with the image - the first impression I got was that Freedom Phalanx are in trouble there - missing some members and looking like they are under attack from all sides. That's not a representation we've seen before. Traditionally they're portrayed as the bastion (pun intended) that keep Paragon safe from all threats. When the "regular heroes" (ie us) fail, then Freedom Phalanx step in and sort it out.
To me this image indicates that they may no longer be the failsafe saviours of Paragon.

This is a service-oriented business, and it's all
about keeping the player happy over the long term.

some change, you be wise to listen. - Raph Koster

We know that Statesman is an ineffective leader (in and out of game) - and that there is a leadership gap in the FP.
If Manticore is dead... Sister Psyche could well be the new heroic "avenger" leading from the front and seeking to put the genie back in the bottle - by any means necessary. Arguably she's always been one of the most powerful members of FP - but her light's been hidden under a bushel so to speak. With the original Calvin Scott TF resurrected in Ouro that kind of paves the way for the Sister Psyche TF to be buried in Ouro too... and her to take control of the Freedom Phalanx to fight back at all the enemies Statesman was too incompetent to overcome.
Maybe there's more significance to "Freedom" than we initially anticipated.

I think Statesman "wearing" Manticore's quiver is just a Photoshop error, but if States is really the reincarnation of Zues and States is going to start sporting a quiver full of arrows that turn into thunderbolts, well...
That would be pretty awesome.
what picture are you talking about with Statesman wearing Manticore's quiver? Where can it be found at?
