Paradron Medic, the japanese only Superlink figure. Is Paradron Medic the official name or a "translation"? I don't think this figure is classify as a medic as the chinese word description is a Tactician.

I thought that Paradron Medic was a green repaint of Arcee. The statues and toys. But, I may be wrong.

You could think right. Both of them look similar so it could be the same mold.

Not sure how official the name is but it's inspired by a season 3 episode that used the Arcee animation model with different colours. Can't think of the episode title but it's the one that introduced Sandstorm and proved that Rodimus was the worst Autobot leader of all time when he decides upon reaching Paradron that the only course of action open to him is to blow the planet up!

fight or flee was the episode. It just showcased a repaint of Arcee in green, from the planet of Paradron. I guess she's a partial medic since she was seen helping out scourge and cyclonus

That's part of the official name. In Superlink, the basic sized figures (Terrorcons and Omnicons) were drones, and as such had "types". In the case of Arcee, her Japanese repaint's name is "Ariel Paradron Type". This is analogous to Command Jaguar Desert Type (Command Ravage) and Dinobot Magma Type (Cruellock repaint, not Doom-Lock), where the type name comes after the original name.

I know the SEIBERTRON Gallery has "Paradron Medic", but it's a name that's more familiar, and thus will get attention more quickly. Still, it's incorrect when official names are concerned.

...So... Does she have an actual name, like Sarah or whatnot?


Err... Nevermind, I reread the previous response. I misunderstood it. Her name is Ariel.

so...Pax's girlfriend didn't die in War Dawn..she just ended up on an alternate Cybertron, got herself a new paintjob and worked as a medic

And cyclonus and scourage repaid their kindness by throwing them into the pools.

That's her Japanese name in Superlink yes. So Ariel = Arcee

Wait. confused again. Arcee is pink. Ariel is green. Two different characters, right?

REPAINT!

I know that. But you said

There are like five repaints in Seibs galleries. I just want to clarify that this is a different character, right?

As far as the toylines are concerned, the two characters are one and the same. That happened a lot during the RiD and Unicron Trilogy eras, where one character would get a totally different name in Japan, like Arcee was named Ariel in Japan. As for why it wasn't named "Arcee" in Japan, A-Sureshock has already taken the name

sureshock was female and called arcee

Ariel is not Paradorn Medic. Ariel is Arcee. Just a lighter pink recolor. The figure I think you are trying to locate is blue, and is the 2005 Botcon Exclusive Chromia.

Or is this Superlink figure: http://seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php? ... =0&start=0

Yes. My original post is refering to the Superlink character of Green Arcee.

If that is the case, Paradron Arcee seems suitable.

I know which one you are referring to. The takara exclusive green arcee. I used to have 2, sold one on ebay 2 years back.

Check out the picture here, the green arcee
