I could see if all the female TF's were pink, but as far as I know, only two of them are, with the rest a multitude of colors (blue seems to be the majority winner with Chromia, Moonracer, and two versions of Arcee) It's also not like there weren't other TF that were pink, especially as the line sailed into G2.
For me, it seems just a bit outdated for a feminine character. I have no problem with the older iterations using the pink, sometimes as a jump-off point (Binaltech), or as a deeper colour (Animated), or as an identifier (of the ROTF triplets, Arcee HAD to be pink), but, as a signatory colour for a modern take, feminism in fiction has made great strides since the 80s - compare G1 Arcee with TFP Arcee - just my opinion though.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Yeah, but there's a point when knocking on pink becomes boomerang sexist. Personality-wise, I get what you're saying, but visually it shouldn't matter. Would TFP Arcee be any less of the character she is if she were pink? Perhaps part of the issue isn't so much that G1 Arcee is pink, but that NONE of the boys are (outside G2, which is dismissed as their bad fashion era).

My guess is an homage to all Arcees, with the vehicle mode of Prime RC, the head and backpack of G1 RC, and legs of Prime RC and the swords in the backpack of TFA RC.
