Arcee (WFC)
From Transformers Wiki
The name or term "Arcee" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Arcee (disambiguation). Arcee is an Autobot from the Aligned continuity family. A former scout on Cybertron before the Great Exodus, Arcee is the least physically-imposing of Optimus Prime's crew, but she's also Optimus's most reliable soldier, his go-to gal when he needs someone he can count on.[1] Whatever she lacks in physical form she more than makes up for it in force of personality. She is tough as nails at all times, always ready with a snarky quip even in the face of deactivation, not afraid to bend the rules every now and then, and seemingly never, ever scared. And while that is largely true, and makes her an incredibly dangerous opponent (especially in melee combat, her specialty), that force of will is also a bit of a front. The loss of a partner back on Cybertron rattled her, leading her towards a path of going it alone. And when she finally started opening up to another partner on Earth, losing him shook her to her core. To then be immediately saddled with the task of being the "guardian" for Jack Darby, one of the locals accidentally caught up in the struggle on Earth, well, let's just say she was less than thrilled about that.

Okay, she was openly verbally hostile to Jack over the whole thing, but her loyalty to Optimus kept her from refusing the task. Like it or not, she's his guardian, and she's going to protect that boy's life... with her own, if she has to. Slowly, but surely, Arcee is coming around again and facing her past demons. Jack's bravery and ingenuity even when in mortal peril is growing on her. Who knows. He might make a good partner.

Before the war, Arcee had been spying in Kaon, and sometime during it she had been rescued by Cliffjumper. When Optimus ordered the Autobots to Earth, her ship had been destroyed, and she was willing to wait as she detected the Decepticons had returned to Cybertron and they were planning something big. There, she entered a base and annihilated the Vehicons there, inadvertently returning Cliffjumper's favor. She hacked into the Decepticons's communications signal there, and found their weapons lab in Kaon. Arcee found Cliffjumper a brash soldier inappropriate for her stealthy mission, but he convinced her Kaon was too dangerous and that she could use his ship to go to Earth. The duo entered the city through the maintenance tunnels Arcee had once explored, and she found a secret staircase by activating an Autobot symbol on the wall. There they discovered Starscream had rebuilt a space bridge to travel to Earth. Concerned by the repercussions of the Decepticons's discovery of how to build space bridges, Arcee wanted to destroy it, but Cliffjumper convinced her it was their way off Cybertron. Distracting Starscream with a ruse, Arcee activated the space bridge and overloaded its systems, jumping through it with him before it blew up. Landing on Earth, the duo scanned their alternate modes and traveled to find a population center where they could build a scanner and find Optimus. Starscream attacked, having also jumped through the space bridge, blasting Arcee's arm off. Cliffjumper fought him and tried to get Arcee to safety, but she refused, telling him to leave her and find Optimus. Optimus and Bumblebee appeared, fending off Starscream and Breakdown. Optimus carried Arcee through a GroundBridge to base, where Ratchet reattached her arm. Transformers: Prime (graphic novel)

Voice actor: Sumalee Montano (English), more During the Great War, Arcee was partnered with Tailgate. After one mission, she was talking to Tailgate over the comm when she was captured by Airachnid and taken for interrogation. She refused to talk, but when Airachnid revealed she had also captured Tailgate, she revealed she knew nothing, and Tailgate was killed by the Decepticon. Arcee was subsequently rescued by Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, though Airachnid herself escaped. Predatory

Following the exodus from Cybertron, Arcee was investigating talk of a Decepticon operation on the deserted planet. Both she and Cliffjumper were captured by Starscream who needed them to decode a transmission. The pair were taken to Shockwave, who used a cortical psychic patch on Arcee, revealing the transmission was Optimus Prime's call to bring other Autobots to Earth. Learning that Shockwave had developed a space bridge that the 'Cons intended to use to invade Earth, Arcee and Cliffjumper teamed up to sabotage it, using it to land up on Earth just before it exploded. Out of the Past Soon after she arrived on Earth, Bulkhead accidentally stepped into some power lines. Arcee was impressed with the dance he did as a consequence. Scrapheap Arcee was engaged in casual banter with Cliffjumper when her friend was ambushed by Decepticons: by the time Arcee and the others got there, his body was missing and his lifesigns had ceased. While Optimus Prime said they should not dwell on negative emotions, Arcee claimed she'd go back on duty protecting humans; but when targeted by a Vehicon duo and forced to rescue human youth Jack Darby, she showed an irritable, seething nature, attacking the Vehicons with angry cries of vengeance for Cliffjumper. She ignored most of Jack's questions, initially threatened him to forget what he'd seen, and wasn't that concerned with humans witnessing the battle afterwards. To her annoyance, Optimus then ordered her to bring in Jack and the other human witnesses to Autobot Outpost Omega One, so the Decepticons couldn't target them. Darkness Rising, Part 1
Pull my finger.
He's gonna ride her like a Harley on a bad stretch of road.
When the Autobots headed to the Decepticon Energon mines to locate Cliffjumper, Arcee found the broken and Dark Energon-corrupted body of Cliffjumper moving, and tried to save him. She grabbed his hand, but was horrified when the body turned out to be a mutated thing bent on attacking, and dropped him. When Starscream arrived to drop a bomb into the area to destroy the mines, the Autobots were forced to retreat without Cliffjumper through the GroundBridge. Once inside their base, Arcee began to feel dizzy, much to the surprise of Jack, Miko and Raf. It was due to contact with a miniscule amount of the Dark Energon that had corrupted Cliffjumper. Arcee, despite her "illness", was given the task of taking Jack Darby home, and angrily snapped at him when he said he was sorry for her loss, demanding to know what he'd know about such losses; the argument was interrupted when Jack's mother arrived and promptly began questioning him about the mysterious blue bike. The next morning, Arcee snappily woke Jack up and dragged him to Central Command... but demanded he write a note so his mother wouldn't worry. Darkness Rising, Part 2 On the way back, Arcee showed off some motorcycling tricks. They reached the base, only for Optimus to leave her in charge and go off on a mission

with Ratchet. Arcee was disgruntled and, leaving Bulkhead in charge, immediately went out on patrol with Bumblebee. The pair patrolled the nearby Nevada desert until they got a call from Bulkhead to say Fowler had been kidnapped, and he'd gone to the Decepticon ship to mount a rescue. Arcee tried to contact base to get bridged back, but no one was there, and she and Bumblebee had to put "the metal to the pedal". Darkness Rising, Part 3 They arrived at the Decepticon ship to find Bulkhead had already dealt with the guards. Within, they rescued Jack and Raf from a pair of Decepticons, and quickly caught up with Bulkhead and Miko. The three kids being a liability in a fight, the Autobots cleared out a room for them to shelter in. A short time later, they found the brig. Arcee slipped in through a shaft in the ceiling to get the drop on Starscream, but he threatened to shoot the prisoner. Fowler caused a distraction and the Autobots opened fire. Starscream inconsiderately blasted Arcee with his jet exhaust as he fled. With Fowler rescued, the Autobots picked up the kids and returned back to base, where they faced some pointed questions from Optimus. Jack, however, was sick of the constant danger and decided he wanted no more to do with the Autobot/Decepticon conflict. Arcee reminded him to keep the conflict secret, and as he left by GroundBridge, she was sad to see him go. Darkness Rising, Part 4
"No, I'm ****ing Blue Death from above."
She later paid Jack a visit and managed to talk him into returning to the Autobot base. When they did so, it was to find that Ratchet had discovered the location of the space bridge, and Arcee and the other Autobots headed up into orbit to try and prevent Megatron from sending the Dark Energon through. They reached the space bridge terminal, but came under attack from flying Decepticons. Ultimately they were unable to prevent Megatron's plan from going ahead, and the only way to prevent the zombies coming through from Cybertron was to destroy the space bridge itself. Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee followed Ratchet's instructions, feeding the space bridge's power back on itself, but were attacked by Megatron just as they completed the job. Arcee was hit and knocked off into space. Luckily Bumblebee had the presence of mind to grab her as the Autobots retreated through the GroundBridge just before everything exploded. Back at base, Arcee seemed in a bad way, but after some concern from Jack, she was able to stand up again. She, Bulkhead and Bumblebee could later be seen hanging out with the three kids. Darkness Rising, Part 5 Arcee attempted to help Jack with his science project, a motorcycle engine, despite not knowing anything about Earth auto-mechanics. Her role was usurped by Ratchet anyway. Masters & Students After Bulkhead and Bumblebee found a pod in the Arctic and brought it back to base, Optimus and Arcee went back to the Arctic to check for clues as to the pod's origin. After some time searching, the temperature sensors Ratchet had given them went off, but they were unable to raise base so they could GroundBtidge back. The pair sought shelter, but as their temperatures slowly dropped, things looked grim. Arcee decided to keep warm by blaming Bulkhead for their predicament. Just as they were losing hope, the GroundBridge opened and ejected Bulkhead and the swarm of Scraplets that had been causing havoc at base. The Scraplets froze in the cold air and the three Autobots were subsequently able to return home. Scrapheap

Arcee was amused by Bulkhead's exuberant job when they were contacted by Wheeljack, one

of Bulkhead's old friends, though she was initially worried the signal could be a 'Con trap. She, Bulkhead and Bumblebee GroundBridged out to Wheeljack's landing site in time to see him take out a bunch of Vehicons. They returned to base where the Autobots celebrated, though Arcee mainly sat on the sidelines with Jack. When Bulkhead began to grow suspicious that Wheeljack wasn't all he seemed, Arcee tried to allay his fears, and when he directly confronted Wheeljack, Arcee urged him to keep calm. He turned out to be right. After everything was resolved, Arcee again took part in the partying, mostly by standing around watching the others dance. She also turned out to see the real Wheeljack off when he returned to space. Con Job When Fowler asked for help transporting the Dynamic Nuclear Generation System, Arcee took part in the Autobot convoy, concealed in Prime's trailer along with the D.N.G.S. When MECH goons broke the back of the trailer open, she zoomed out in her cycle mode and blew up one of the MECH cars. She helped pass the D.N.G.S. over to a train, but a short time later the Autobots were attacked by Vehicons, and she, Bumblebee and Bulkhead spent the rest of the whole affair fighting them. Convoy When an Energon Harvester was located in a museum, the Autobots surrounded the building while the kids went in to steal it. Knock Out and Breakdown appeared at the front of the museum to attack Optimus, and as Breakdown charged at the museum, Bumblebee and Arcee attempted to stop him. A missile from Breakdown sent Arcee skidding into Bumblebee. After the Decepticons obtained the Harvester, Arcee made a token effort to chase them. She, Bumblebee and Prime later attempted to track down the Decepticons before the Harvester could be used, but they ended up coming to Bulkhead's rescue after he found and stopped the Decepticons himself. Deus ex Machina As Arcee and Jack were leaving school, they encountered Sierra, who asked if she could take Jack up on his offer of a ride. They were interrupted by Vince, who challenged Jack to a race. Arcee reminded her companion of the rules, however when Vince made disparaging remarks about her motorcycle mode, she decided that he needed to be taught a lesson. Arcee and Jack completely smoked Vince at racing, though she "My bad" won't cut it with Optimus this made Jack swear not to tell any of the other Autobots. "I want you... to go upstairs... and kill that time. When Jack agreed to another race, Arcee flatly refused boy." to take part, and later found out he'd talked Bumblebee into helping him instead. Furious, she dragged Bulkhead out to help her find Jack and Bumblebee, only to reach them just as Knock Out was abducting Vince. The three Autobots tracked the Decepticons to a storage facility, where Arcee attempted unsuccessfully to retrieve Vince from Knock Out, and ended up chasing the 'Con. She was unable to catch him, but Optimus turned up to lend a hand and rescue the human, and he demanded an explanation from his ashamed soldiers. Afterwards, Arcee was willing to allow Jack to give Sierra a ride, but just once. Speed Metal

On a routine energon scouting mission, Arcee and Jack stumbled on a crashed spaceship in the wilderness. Arcee recognized it as belonging to Airachnid and found she was unable to contact base. After dropping Jack a safe distance away, she hunted Airachnid, interrupting her foe's attack on a lone camper. They fought, but Jack's reappearance distracted Arcee long enough for Airachnid to get the upper hand and stick the Autobot to a nearby rock with webbing. Airachnid played on how Arcee had a habit of losing partners before starting to chase Jack. Haunted by her previous meeting with Airachnid, Arcee eventually managed to break free using her motorcycle mode, and caught up with Jack in time to save him by delivering a brutal pounding to Airachnid, who managed to flee underground. Arcee was left with a new respect for how Jack had handled the situation, and was happy to call him her partner.

"So... Is this the part where we kiss?"
After Optimus was infected by Cybonic plague, Arcee and Bumblebee GroundBridged aboard the Nemesis. They found Megatron's body in stasis lock, and Arcee formed a cortical psychic patch so Bumblebee could find the cure in the Decepticon leader's mind. She hid with Bumblebee's unconscious body in a vent, but time began to run out when Starscream, Knock Out and Soundwave entered the room and discussed pulling the plug on their commander. Soundwave noticed the cortical link and Starscream began following it to the vent, but Bumblebee had located the cure and the two GroundBridged off the ship. Arcee sent a parting gift by shooting at Megatron, and the Decepticons found Megatron's mind was blank... Sick Mind Arcee was unsure if she'd successfully offlined Megatron. She was unenthusiastic when it turned out they had to return to the Arctic after the Decepticons stole a telescope lens. There, she and Bulkhead fought Breakdown as That'll cost extra a diversion while Optimus snuck on board the Decepticon ship to destroy the heat ray they'd built the lens into. Her success in fighting breakdown was limited, but they kept him busy for long enough, and were knocked flying by the shockwave from the heat ray exploding. They were surprised when Megatron subsequently turned up alive and well to stop Starscream from finishing off Optimus. Out of His Head When a Dark Energon signature was detected, Arcee was left at base on GroundBridge duty because Optimus wanted Ratchet's Dark Energon knowledge handy. She failed to notice the three kids sneaking after Optimus's team, and only later spotted that they were gone. She attempted to GroundBridge them back, but interference resulted in an explosion and the kids vanished en route. After Bulkhead's attempt to phone Miko failed, Arcee tried to ring Jack, but there was too much interference for them to talk. They eventually discovered the kids were trapped in an alternate dimension, and when Ratchet used the GroundBridge to rescue them, Optimus, Arcee and Bulkhead went to make sure they were safe from Starscream. Shadowzone
Arcee's such a great babysitter.
When Breakdown was captured by MECH, Arcee and the others were surprised when Optimus insisted that they rescue the Decepticon, though it turned out he was concerned that Cybertronian technology would fall into MECH hands. The team arrived in
8/7/13
Kamchatka Peninsula and followed an energon signal Ratchet had detected. The trace led them to find Breakdown's eye and a MECH bomb. After they avoided being blown up the bomb, the team tracked down Bulkhead in time to chase off Starscream and some Vehicons. Operation: Breakdown Jack's alter-school activities resulted in his mom forbidding him from using his motorcycle. Jack pointed out to Arcee that this would mean she would have to stay in the garage for several weeks, but she instead promised that she would try to be back before Jack's mom got home at night. The next day Arcee and Bumblebee were fighting some Vehicons when Jack called her to warn her that mom was on her way home early. Arcee failed to get back in time, and had to sneak in via GroundBridge. Later on that evening, she managed to get back before June Darby did, but it turned out that was because mom had been abducted by MECH. Arcee and Jack followed Silas's instructions, proceeding to a deserted factory, and were shocked to find that Airachnid was involved. Arcee was webbed and rendered unconscious, but while MECH was preparing her for "surgery", she recovered and escaped. She managed to catch up with Airachnid before the 'Con could do anything to Jack or It's the equivalent of a guy his mother, and the pair fought at length around the building. She eventually succeeded in knocking Airachnid into introducing his mom to his a container and pouring concrete on top, but as she was moving to rescue June, was webbed to the ground by girlfriend. the still active Decepticon. Relief came in the form of Agent Fowler and three helicopters, which forced Airachnid to retreat. Arcee and Jack subsequently took June to the Autobot base to meet the team. Crisscross Arcee was scheduled to do some routine maintenance with Jack, but June's well-meaning questions drove Arcee batty, and she instead opted to accompany Bulkhead on a mission to find a magnetic anomaly. Miko managed to sneak along on the mission, and Arcee again found herself as the third wheel, but when they reached the source of the magnetic disturbance, it turned out to be Airachnid and Breakdown fighting over a magnetic weapon. During the ensuing fight, Breakdown used the weapon, a polarity gauntlet, to magnetize the two Autobots, and Arcee became stuck to Bulkhead's back. With the only choice to retrieve the gauntlet, Arcee ordered Miko to return to base, and she and Bulkhead tracked the 'Cons to an old gas station. After some more fighting, Arcee managed to become unstuck from Bulkhead, and briefly used the gauntlet to polarize everyone. In the end, the Autobots triumphed and returned to base with the gauntlet, where Arcee received an apology from June for the earlier questioning. Metal Attraction
Bulkhead and Arcee were assigned to check out an old energon mine. When Miko ran into the mine, Jack persuaded Arcee to let him take a look inside too. She and Jack stumbled on Megatron and Starscream, and during the firefight that ensued, she shot Megatron's arm, causing him to blast the ceiling and causing a cave in. After the floor fell away, she lost track of the others, but eventually found the kids, and was able to rescue Bulkhead from Starscream. The two Autobots and the kids escaped the mine and briefly considered ending the Decepticons then and there before deciding it wasn't what Optimus would have done. Though Arcee still looked tempted. Rock Bottom Standing at Cliffjumper's graveside, Arcee pledged she would find the 'Con who killed him. When the Autobots were on their next mission to check out a

signal from a buried Decepticon wreck, they ran into Airachnid, and Arcee attempted to take the opportunity to settle the score for Tailgate, only for Airachnid to get the better of her. After coming to her rescue, Optimus reminded her that revenge was never profitable. When their captive, Starscream, claimed to want to switch sides, Arcee spoke out to say they should take him with them. Arcee was left guarding the prisoner, however when he inadvertently revealed that it was he who had killed Cliffjumper, she became enraged and attacked him. Though she eventually got the upper hand and was about to finish him off, she realized that Bumblebee was watching the fight, and reluctantly let Starscream limp away. Later at base, her injuries were healed, but she blamed herself for ruining their chance to gain access to Starscream's knowledge. Partners
Arcee accompanied Prime and Bumblebee as they tried to retrieve a Cybertronian data cylinder before the Decepticons did. During the fight she was tackled by Knock Out. Ultimately the Decepticons made off with the cylinder, and later Arcee listened as Ratchet told them the cylinder's contents had ended up in Bulkhead's brain, and wondered aloud what the formula Bulkhead was writing wasthe Autobots were excited to find it was a set of equations for synthetic energon. Arcee found it weird when Bulkhead was in "brainiac mode", and as it turned out the data was eating Bulkhead's mind. Bumblebee and Arcee accompanied Optimus on an unsuccessful attempt to get the cylinder back from Megatron, and they ended up fighting a bunch of Vehicons. Later they came to Miko and Bulkhead's aid to save the pair from Knock Out and Breakdown, and Arcee was present when Miko managed to rouse the comatose Bulkhead. T.M.I. During a mission to intercept Knock Out and Breakdown, Arcee sped over a road block caused by Vehicons, separating herself from the other Autobots despite Prime's orders. She soon found herself surrounded by Vehicons, but was surprised when Ratchet came through the GroundBridge and singlehandedly bashed the lot of them. Ratchet later revealed that he had injected himself with the synthetic energon he'd been working on, and Arcee was keen for them all to try it, however Ratchet began exhibiting personality changes that disturbed her. During their next mission, Ratchet accused Optimus of not being pro-active enough, bringing up Cliffjumper's death which angered Arcee to the point of threatening violence. When Ratchet took off to tackle Megatron on his own, Arcee and the other Autobots were forced to come to his aid. Stronger, Faster When an ancient prophecy looked like it was imminent, Arcee and Bulkhead wonder how seriously they should take it. They accompanied Optimus to a military base to stop the Decepticons attacking it, but when they were faced with Raf being gravely injured, Optimus ordered Arcee to accompany him and Bumblebee back to base. While Ratchet fought to save the boy's life, Arcee had to keep Bumblebee calm. One Shall Fall Arcee accompanied Bulkhead and Ratchet on a mission to rescue Prime from an area rich in Dark Energon, though at one point she appeared to become mesmerized by the sight of a volcano spewing Dark Energon. Once they got Optimus back to base, they set about investigating the cause of the natural disasters that had begun plaguing the planet, and realized that Unicron lay at the center of the Earth. Arcee and the other Autobots began

checking out the sites of the tremors.
One Shall Rise, Part 1
Though Optimus ordered the other Autobots to remain at base, Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee joined him anyway. They fought increasingly larger stone Unicrons, until they encountered a colossal one that knocked Bulkhead and Bumblebee aside, then sent Arcee likewise tumbling along the ground. As it moved to crush Optimus underfoot, help came in the unlikely form of Megatron, who offered to help them fight Unicron. After they returned to base, Optimus gave the trio the choice of whether to accompany him and Megatron to Earth's core, and Arcee opted to go for Jack's sake. She, Bumblebee and Bulkhead greeted Megatron to the Autobot base by aiming their guns at him, and when they were ready to GroundBridge to their new destination, she insisted Megatron go first. Before long, they were standing within Earth's core. One Shall Rise, Part 2 As the Autobots battled Unicron's antibodies, Arcee was briefly separated from the others, and had to ride one of the antibodies to catch up with them again. She, Bulkhead and Bumblebee remained outside Unicron's spark chamber to fight off the antibodies. After Unicron's defeat, they entered the chamber only to discover that Optimus had lost his memory and was leaving with Megatron. They subsequently had to GroundBridge back to base minus their leader and explain what had happened to the others. One Shall Rise, Part 3 The Autobots tried fruitlessly to find a way to get Optimus back. Arcee even managed to get on board the Nemesis by slipping through the Decepticon GroundBridge after Knock Out and Breakdown. She searched through the ship, fighting Vehicons, only to be expelled from the Nemesis by Soundwave. It didn't help matters that she didn't even manage to determine if Optimus was on board, let alone where the ship was. Orion Pax, Part 1 Arcee and the others scoured the globe fruitlessly for the space bridge until they got information on its whereabouts from an undisclosed source which Arcee immediately figured out was Starscream. The Autobots stormed the energon mine housing the bridge before sending Jack and Arcee through to Cybertron, where they began using Jack's key to search for Vector Sigma. Orion Pax, Part 2 On their arrival at Kaon, they were attacked by an Insecticon which Arcee attempted to keep busy while Jack headed onwards. She was rendered unconscious for a time, but came around and retrieved Jack from the Vector Sigma chamber. On their return to Earth, she was forced to fight Megatron to distract him while Jack uploaded the Matrix information into Optimus. Mission successful, they returned to base for the big reunion. Orion Pax, Part 3 Arcee was impressed by Bumblebee's retrieval of the Spark Extractor, and when his T-cog was later stolen, knew immediately it was MECH. Unfortunately her racing around in vehicle mode didn't do much to make Bumblebee feel better about his lack of a cog. Operation Bumblebee, Part 1 She was unhappy about being asked to do the transplant between Ratchet and Bumblebee, but luckily didn't get the chance, as she had to rush off with Optimus and Bulkhead to try and secure an artifact. She and Prime proved unable to penetrate Knock Out's force field, and as a result, Megatron got away with the Forge of Solus Prime. Operation Bumblebee, Part 2 Arcee and the others came to Wheeljack's aid when he returned to Earth to battle Dreadwing. Loose Cannons Arcee was part of an Optimus-led mission to an abandoned energon mine in South America, where they found Megatron fighting an Insecticon. Arcee was more interested in the fight's observer, Airachnid, and immediately attacked her old foe. After chasing her through tunnels, Arcee stumbled into a web trap and ended up dangling cocooned from a tree. Her life was only saved by Starscream, who chased Airachnid off and cut Arcee down, though she still had to ask the other Autobots for help. Crossfire
8/7/13
When Fowler was attacked by a truck resembling Optimus, Arcee chased the interloper and was run down by him. She recovered at base, and they discovered that the truck was a MECH-built clone of Optimus. The Autobots located the MECH base, but as they explored it, Nemesis Prime took them out one by one. After Optimus prevailed, the Autobots returned to base for repairs. Nemesis Prime Optimus, Bumblebee and Arcee responded to strange activity and found Airachnid in the process of unleashing a swarm of Insecticons. Leaving the others to fight the Insecticons, Arcee chased Airachnid, eventually reaching the Insecticon hive. Though she was tempted to finish off Airachnid, Arcee tricked her foe into stepping onto one of the Insecticon pods, resulting in Airachnid being put in stasis lock so she could be safely taken back to base. Armada After the Nemesis crashed, Arcee took part in an attack on it with the Spark Extractor, only to be put into stasis by its weapons. She recovered back at base when the kids disabled the ship. Flying Mind One day, she'll learn not to run off after Arcee was sent with Bumblebee, Jack and Miko to retrieve a relic located in the Manhattan subways. Airachnid on her own. This is not that day. The two Autobots found Knock Out with the artifact, but as Arcee tried to seize it, the Decepticon stunned her with his prod. After the party was interrupted by a sweeper train carrying Miko and Jack, Arcee pursued the train while being chased by Knock Out's Insecticon. She managed to both save the train from crashing and get rid of the Insecticon by getting it to touch a third rail. After Bumblebee got hold of the relic, he and Arcee were introduced to Vogel, who'd helped Jack and Miko. Tunnel Vision They returned to base to find Bulkhead critically injured after his mission, and Arcee and Bumblebee helped get the Wrecker to the medical bay. Hurt Attempting to comfort Miko, who was upset by the slowness of Bulkhead's recovery, Arcee told her about the time she and Cliffjumper were interrogated by Shockwave and arrived on Earth. Out of the Past When new Autobot Smokescreen appeared while the Autobots were investigating a crashed escape pod, Arcee was initially suspicious of him, recalling Makeshift. She was eventually convinced of the veracity of his story and after he helped during a mission to recover Red Energon, she joined the others in welcoming him to the team. New Recruit When Fowler notified them that a Project Damocles satellite had been stolen by Breakdown and Silas, Optimus took a team including Arcee to a military base in the hope of securing the satellite control codes before the Decepticons could get them. Instead they found themselves facing both Decepticon troopers and the orbital death ray itself, controlled by Soundwave. The Human Factor Arcee was unconvinced that it would be a good thing when Jack was assigned to help Smokescreen adapt to life on Earth, and the fact that the pair pulled a prank on Vince during their first mission did nothing to help. While Arcee was on a mission to find an Iacon relic, Smokescreen endangered Jack by taking him into combat, and though Arcee and the rest of the team rescued the boy, she was not pleased with either of them. Legacy With the news they might soon be able to restore Cybertron, Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee were unsure whether they wanted to leave Earth and their friends. She volunteered to accompany Smokescreen to Egypt to find the first Omega Key but, though they found the key, Smokescreen was apparently destroyed by Megatron. Arcee returned to base despondent at losing another partner, but it later turned out Smokescreen was still alive. Alpha/Omega Smokescreen's exuberance got on her nerves. After she and Bumblebee failed to secure a key, Smokescreen and Bulkhead likewise failed in their mission, and Arcee ended up lecturing the rookie on being a team player, causing him to leave the Autobot base upset. When Smokescreen later turned
8/7/13
out to be the final relic they were after, the Autobots located him too late to prevent him being captured by Soundwave.
Hard Knocks
After Smokescreen escaped the Nemesis with two of the keys, the Autobots received a message from Starscream offering a trade for the final key. Arcee operated the GroundBridge and guarded the base with Smokescreen and Bumblebee, but Starscream was able to steal their three keys anyway, thanks to his Red Energon. Inside Job As the Autobots equipped themselves to go to Cybertron, Arcee availed herself of the Apex Armor, which proved very useful during their battle against the Decepticons. Having obtained the Omega Keys, the Autobots found the Omega Lock, only for the Decepticons to unveil their trump card in the form of the three kids as hostages. Regeneration Arcee was forced to hand over her key in exchange for Jack. After Optimus destroyed the Omega Lock to prevent Megatron destroying Earth, Arcee returned with the others to base, only to find that the Decepticons were attacking it. The Autobots were forced to abandon base, and Arcee and Jack bridged to a point somewhere in the US. Darkest Hour Arcee and Jack paused in their travels so Arcee could scout out a helicopter, which turned out to be civilian. In the meantime, Jack came under attack by Decepticons but he and Arcee managed to blow them up with a gas station. Darkmount, NV After they took a rest stop at an abandoned farm house, the pair were cruising down a road when Ultra Magnus's spacecraft set down in front of them. Scattered Introductions were made, and the pair accompanied Ultra Magnus as he collected up the rest of Team Prime, finally arriving at the Harbinger. Prey Bumblebee and Arcee joined the attack on Darkmount, acting as a "stealth team" and infiltrating the citadel under cover of a diversion. Unfortunately they ran into heavy resistance and were taken captive, but when Optimus Prime arrived to join the assault, they renewed their attack on the Decepticons. Following the destruction of Darkmount, the Autobots assembled at a human military base. Rebellion Arcee reflected that without Smokescreen's inability to follow orders, they might not still have Optimus Prime. The Autobots soon discovered that the Predacons were working on cloning more Predacons. Project Predacon When Decepticon activity was detected in New Mexico, Arcee talked Wheeljack into going with her and the pair immediately ran into trouble in the form of a squad of Vehicons. After dispatching the Decepticons, Arcee and Wheeljack proceeded to retrieve the bone they'd been after, and Arcee managed to talk her companion into not abandoning his place in the Autobot team. While they were still hauling the bone away, news came that Fowler and June had gotten into trouble, and the two Autobots had to go and rescue the pair from Knock Out. They succeeded, though Knock Out got away with another Predacon fossil. Plus One Arcee and the others took time out from hunting for Predacon fossils to secure some energon supplies, unaware it was part of a Decepticon plan to deceive the newly-intelligent Predaking. Evolution When the Decepticons began stealing technology to repair the Omega Lock, Arcee and the other Autobots attempted to stop them. They traveled to the Solaris particle collider in Antarctica, where they found the Decepticons already in the process of raiding the place. Minus One Though they fought their way through the Decepticons, they were ultimately unable to stop the Decepticons stealing the needed technology, and on top of this, when they returned to base it was to find Ratchet had been abducted by Soundwave. Persuasion They launched the probe and monitored it and Optimus's progress from the base. Though the probe was destroyed, Ratchet was able to send them the coordinates to the Decepticon warship, and Arcee and the others geared up in preparation to assault the Nemesis. Synthesis

Arcee attempted to lead her team to join Ratchet, only for Smokescreen to abandon them along the way, and for them to be confronted by Starscream. They managed to fight their way through to the Omega Lock control room, where Arcee watched Bumblebee kill Megatron with the Star Saber. With the Nemesis secured, the Autobots were able to take the ship to Cybertron, where they used the Omega Lock to restore their home world. Arcee told Jack to stay in touch, before she and the other Autobots returned home. Deadlock
Titan Magazines Prime comics

Arcee took part in the testing of Ratchet's newly-developed Safe training room, though she was amused by the medic's interest in making things explode. After Bulkhead broke through a wall, Arcee alerted the others to the rather large nuclear missile he'd accidentally uncovered and activated. A Vehicon scouting party showed up looking for the source of the energy signature the bomb was giving off, so Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee went out to trash them. The trio returned to base a short time later to find Fowler had arrived to deal with the bomb. The Safe and the Failsafe Optimus took the other Autobots, including Arcee, on a trip to Valley of Fire State Park. War Story Arcee roundly mocked Bulkhead as he attempted to decorate a Christmas tree. Unfortunately for her, after Fowler reported that the Decepticons had taken over a nuclear-powered ship, she found herself left at base with Bulkhead. The kids suggested she and Bulkhead try to find something they both liked, but progress was slow until they discovered their mutual love of ice skating. They subsequently turned the base into an ice rink and skated around it until the other Autobots came back. Ice Breaker She and Jack scouted out Franklin High School when schools in the region began unexpectedly exploding. It paid off when MECH turned up, however while Arcee was on the comm to Optimus, Jack sneaked inside the school. Arcee crashed inside to rescue him from MECH, though he insisted on following the baddies up to the roof. Silas got away anyway, and Arcee had to get Jack off the burning building. School Is... Out! After the President of the United States was kidnapped, the Autobots traced the culprit, Starscream, to the Grand Canyon. Bumblebee and Arcee teamed up to take out the cannons manned by Vehicons that Starscream had brought along. All the President's 'Bots! Arcee and Bulkhead headed to Zhejiang Province, China after the Autobots lost contact with Optimus Prime. They found Knock Out and a bunch of Vehicons feeding Optimus's body into a crusher but were overcome by the Decepticons before they could rescue him. Luckily Optimus came to his

senses in time. The Mind Trap! After Miko was kidnapped by MECH agent Novo, Arcee joined the hunt to find her. The Novo Incident Arcee was bemused by Jack's demonstration of bobbing for apples. She was on the team which visited the Deep Driller oil platform and encountered General Madison and his men. After ending up underneath Bulkhead, she managed to trick two of the soldiers in robotic battle suits into shooting each other. Mad Dogs & Autobots When Bulkhead went missing, Arcee searched in vain until Miko managed to work out he was on the Decepticon ship. Arcee was subsequently part of the mission to rescue their friend. The Battle for Bulkhead Arcee took part in a battle against the Decepticons in The Wave.
The Evil Shred
Following a TV studio takeover by Knock Out and Breakdown, Arcee came along on the mission as backup. She took to the shadows, and once Optimus had rescued the other hostages, Arcee rescued Chuck Chuckles and took down the two Decepticons herself. It's a Knock-Out Mega-Mouth

Arcee tracked Ripclaw to the Canadian Rockies. Rather than attack directly, she leaked the coordinates to the Decepticons in the hope they would deal with the problem. Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 19

Voice actor: Kari Wahlgren (English) Note: Arcee is not a playable character in the storyline campaign. However, she can be unlocked for Escalation mode and for customization in online multiplayer as an Autobot scout. Her chassis type is listed as "Sprinter". Arcee was one of the many Autobots who were captured and placed in Kaon's prisons complex. She was freed from her imprisonment when Optimus

Prime, Bumblebee and Sideswipe allowed themselves to be captured in order to rescue Zeta Prime. During their rescue attempt, they opened all of the Kaon cells, allowing the prisoners, Arcee included, to escape. The freed prisoners were all led to transport ships, overseen by Air Raid, in which they used to escape the complex. Arcee herself helped direct her fellow prisoners to the ships, whilst Optimus's team kept the Decepticons busy.

Arcee (Cyberverse Legion, 2012) Series/Number: 2 / 003 Japanese release date: 4-28-2012 Japanese Number: EZ-09 Accessories: Snap-on blaster Part of the first wave of Prime Series 2 Cyberverse Legion Class toys, this smaller-scale Arcee comes with a rubbery translucent-pink blaster which has numerous 3mm pegs and a single peg-hole, allowing it to be held or mount onto any of her numerous ports. She has permanently-deployed battle blades on her arms in robot mode, and is largely scaleaccurate with the Deluxe and Voyager toys in vehicle mode. This sculpt was also used to make Flamewar. Her blaster was also available with Legion Bumblebee, seeing as it's modeled after his in-show weapon. A recolored version was available with Tailgate and Hyperspeed Wheeljack.

The entire front of the bike now stores on her back, though the rest of the toy transforms very similarly (but not identically). She comes with a large blaster and one of her arm blades, both of which can mount onto her hands, forearms, and front wheel via 5mm post, as well as combine with each other. Additionally, the blades from the "First

Edition" figure can mount onto thin pegs on either side of her vehicle mode. The Japanese release has new 5mm post attachments added to her wings, to go along with the Arms Micron system. As such, she loses the blaster and blade combo, and instead has her own Arms Micron, Arc, who transforms into a weapon somewhat resembling her armblade. Most of her paint operations also have been removed, replaced with customerapplied foil stickers.

Notes
In Alex Irvine's apocryphal "Bumblebee at Tyger Pax" short story, Arcee launched the AllSpark into space. In the Prime cartoon, Arcee's holographic driver is named "Sadie."[3] All of the Autobots in Prime change size between alternate modes, but it's way more noticeable with Arcee's transformation from a vehicle
8/7/13
roughly the size of Jack to a robot just a little shorter than Bumblebee. Her tires do not change size when she transforms. One can see a little regular-sized tire in her back, and small half-tires on her calves. In "Crisscross" her Nevada license plate reads "396571." Arcee's chest panels fluctuate in color from episode to episode. Sometimes, they're pink; other times, they're clear. They seem to be clear more often than pink, though. Arcee's blue color scheme is due to the writers not wanting to make Jack look silly by putting him on a pink motorcycle. Strike one for femmephobia.[4] Of course, this makes G1 fans think of Chromia. Arcee's show model is the basis for the non-toy character Akiba Prime. In the Japanese dub of Transformers: Prime, Arcee's catchphrase of "scrap" was rendered "saiaku" ( ), a phrase that literally translates to "the worst". It is often used by young women as an expression of frustration or irritation. Arcee's body parts are available to use in the Hub website's Vector Sigma Bot Builder online game. Normally, you cannot configure a generic 'bot using all Arcee parts, but you can see what one would look like at right through the magic of Photoshop.
The motorcycle transforms into her leg and then the rest of her robot mode hops over and attaches to it.
Arms Up Modes
In the Japanese Prime toyline, Arcee has named powered-up modes when given various Arms Microns in certain configurations: Slasher Mode ( Surassh Mdo) Arms Microns: Arc, B.2, B.H., C.L., O.P., R.A. Seen on her box-back photo, in this mode Arcee uses the Slash Cannon on her right arm, Slash Cannon on the other, with C.L. on her right wing and B.H. on her left. Crushgize Nebula Scythe ( Kurasshujiaizu Nebyur Saizu) Arms Microns: Arc, B.H., Balo, Gora, O.P., R.A., Zori This rather overblown mode, revealed in the Cybertron Satellite portion of "Freezing Transformation!? Terror of the Minicons", starts with Arcee holding the Nebula Scythe Combo Weapon. Add Gora to her right wing, R.A. to her left, Zori to her back and Balo in drill-mode to the end of Zori's tail, and boom! The "gize" part of the name seems to be from the word "energize".
Basically destined to be Pinkie Pie at some point.
