Arcee looks badass, she no longer the babysitter from season 3.

I recon that she's a assassin of some sort now, just look at her moves and attacks.

Is she supposed to be a beserker? Or is she possessed?

Hopefully I'm wrong but so far all I've read about it so far indicates lots of shame and anger associated with female sexuality.

If you look at it from the original sin perspective, it does come off quite tacky.

However, I'd propose two alternate interpretations:

1) I can imagine that what she is feeling is not far off from what the first women to break into the male dominated workplace must have felt. Shame because they were violating social norms, and anger that they were being made to feel shame unjustly.

2) Gender reversal - Cybertronians are, by nature, constructive/creative creatures. Before the war, even Megatron turned into a construction vehicle. Arcee however is clearly designed from the ground up as a death-machine. Her shame and anger at having been created to kill is akin to what some men feel, what perhaps all men feel unconsciously. Born into a world that wants us to build and create, but programmed by millions of years of evolution to take and kill.

Beautiful art.

And I sure hope Jhiaxus is already dead, or Arcee will make him wish he was.

Once Arcee finishes off Magnus, will she try to take on Fortress?

HOLY CATS, she's got FANGS!










Fangs are hot...

First the art, as usual, could expect less, is quite awesome, the story...

She doesn't look girly at all, but great art anyway. Can't wait to see where they're going with this whole spotlight.

Wow! So I wonder, will she "come around" by the end of the issue or still be hanging out there as a wild card? I can't wait to pick this one up.

This is what Arcee really is; a ruthless "hunter". It says it on almsot EVERY bio of her!
