Seriously, what's the deal with Arcee and motorcycles? She's female, so she has to be smaller than everyone else? Screw that. Raise your hand if you want Arcee to be something other than a motorcycle in whatever show comes after Prime. A DeLorean, perhaps...

Recently Arcee was a car again in Animated. I personally prefer cars to motorcycles, but that movie 1 Arcee is pretty effing sweet none the less.

I know. I bought one and pretended that she was G1 Arcee.

I hated movie Arcee. They didn't even attempt to make legs, instead making it look like she was part snake. The Prime version is much better but I still like G1 Arcee the best.

While I like the car versions better I do have a soft spot for movie one Arcee (much like RhA). I wasn't digging the design so much when they made the fem-bots all have wheels for legs though. It was interesting, but it came off as a cop out in the design department (no need to think about hiding legs, just move them wheelies around).

But yeah, it'd be nice to see her as a car again. The bike gig for the femme's has gotten a little old.

I want her as a car again, too. The 2007 movie toy was good, but gimme a sleek car!

Well, This thread doesn't exactly pertain ONLY to toys, does it? If not, then:

yeah, arcee's good in both alt modes. but i really prefer him as a car rather than a motorcycle. being her as a motorcycle would make her small, like smaller than bumblebee or jazz.

Well personally I like my women buff but I digress.
I think Arcee is better as a car. I do like to see her depicted as feminine and petite because she is a female transformer, but realistically she looks much better as a car.

I never thought of her being smaller than a minibot though. I guess as a motorcycle she really would be.

Yeah Arcee deserves to be treated as a small biker lady bot, i'd love to see her in a car form like her G1/Animated counterparts.

She's been a bike in

Energon
Movie 2007(toy series, barely seen as a bike in the movie if you cpunt the colors on the bike Epps used to slide under Blackout)
in Revenge of the Fallen movie...her name wasn't even unique to her, it was more of a name for three persons who're one and the same.

Last times she's a car

G1 The movie and G1 Season 3
War For Cybertron as a character for Escalation mode and multiplayer.
Animated

I want that retro G1 Arcee, Headmaster or normal, figure that should've been made stateside.
