Fan favorite artist Alex Milne has updated this deviantART account with his character model for Arcee from the Dark Cybertron story arc. While he does make sure to mention he's not sure if this is how her upcoming Transformers Generations Deluxe figure will look, we know that Hasbro and IDW have been working hand in hand to bring the IDW character designs to toy form. Check out the mirrored image below:

here is the design i came up with based off of a concept from hasbro.
not sure if this is what the new Arcee toy will look like. the design i was given was not a toy image nor was it an image that looked like it could transform. it was just a concept which i think hasbro wanted to base the new toy off of. so i had to work with that and come up with something that i feel keep the look they want to use and work withing the world the comic is set in
the only thing i did a bit differently in the comic was i made her legs a bit longer. i ran out of paper on this image and i did want her legs a bit longer.
with the head i did put elements from the original IDW Arcee in it so i could tie the new design with comic look
so i'm not sure what the toy will look like, but this was fun getting to draw a new version of Arcee
enjoy

Title needs fixing.

And she's red, instead of pink.

I can't help but think "tranny-bot" whenever I see Arcee now. Damn you Furman!

Weirdly enough though, she's only red *in that one scene* and then she's back to pink every time we see her after that. Dunno what that means.

That doesn't bother me. I think it adds to the mystery of what exactly are Fembots?

I kind of wish Highbrow was not a retool of the triple changer mold, since he never was a triple changer.

That's kinda stupid, she had no gender before she was given one by Jiaxus.

That Whirl is awesome, can't wait to see it in action!

They could do a one shot featureing Whirl having an entire adventure with his holomatter avatar.

I agree with Highbrow not being a triple-changer, I just noticed that the rear half of the alt-mode is nearly identical to the triple-changer, so I'm sure somebody's gonna do a custom at some point...Same thing with Cloud Screamer and Rodimus... The bot modes look cool to me, but not sure about them being Triple-changers either.

As far as Whirl's avatar, I think he was as surprised by it as everyone else in the comics...
