You really think anything they did would have phazed Megatron in the slightest?

My point isn't even that- it's that Arcee would have tried to get in that attack of opportunity and can then have been captured, given up to catatonia,set free with the message and whatever, but it wasn't about her, it was the Smokescreen show. Same way Megz didn't need to parry any of those incoming shots but did anyway because it was the Dark Star Saber show.
The characters being written into the background have a right to keep their pride.Bumblebee has a right to a wtf? bleep at events or a 'heya' bleep at Smokescreen. The two are arguably agemates and don't even hang out.
One shot, no matter how failed, is still the defiance Arcee looks to utilize in a world (her world) where defiance is being steamrollered into pizza dough. She has a right to be remembered for that defiance.Especially when the show drags on with ages between arrivals in the name of character development only for that to be overlooked in the name of a toy that may never be marketed until a classics line 10 years from now...
