Arcee (Cyberverse)

Arcee is anAutobotfrom theCyberversecontinuity family.

But is sheGalvatron's sister?.

Arceeis a loyal member ofOptimus Prime's crew with an adventurous streak a mile wide. No chance of danger is too high to dissuade her from seeking out something new, with plenty of selfies taken to document the things she's seen and the places she's been. It's therefore no surprise at all that she's one ofGrimlock's closest friends.

She also REALLY likes guns. Like...to a worrying degree.

Once the AllSpark had been retrieved, the Autobots set course back for Cybertron, enjoying a victory celebration on the way. Along with her crew-mates, Arcee fell victim ofWheeljack'smalfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving her to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track.Party Down

After forty cycles of maddening boredom, Arcee joined Grimlock in visiting a nearby nebula only to find it uneventful. When the duo returned, they found that their ship and crew-mates had been immobilized by an electromagnetic storm that the dull nebula had shielded them from, with Arcee snapping a selfie of her and the proneHot Rod.As Arcee theorized how to reboot the ship, she found Grimlock's attention seized by a flock ofAir Hammers.As the two marvelled at the creatures, they soon realized that the beasts posed a threat to the immobilized ship. Recreating the plan used against the Bantors, the duo lured the Air Hammers away via a pimped outAutobot shuttleand Arcee mimicking an Air Hammer call.

Okay, THIS is her genuine smile.

As she and Grimlock patted themselves on the back, they remembered that Air Hammers heralded meteor showers. Recalling the time theArkran across the crystal ice moon, Arcee and Grimlock broke out the heavy artillery and shot the rocks from atop the hull. Once they were all taken care of, Arcee reminded Grimlock that comets were often the herald of a supernova. As realization set in, the two tried to use the AllSpark and the proneCheetorto reboot the shields. Eventually the two tried to use theirsparksto restart the ship and as they quarrelled over who would sacrifice themselves,Teletraan-Xshowed up and simply pressed a big red button to reboot the ship allowing the supernova to pass harmlessly. As normal operations resumed, Arcee smiled to Grimlock that they should go on another such adventure in the future.Perfect Storm

Seeing through the ruse, Starscream seized Arcee and intended to execute her before Iaconus reactivated.The End Of The Universe II

Cyberverse

Sadly, doesn't come with a cute little phone.

• Arcee(Deluxe Class, 2020-2021)

• TakaraTomy release date:November 28,2020
• TakaraTomy ID number:Action Master-07
• Accessories:Blaster,effect parts,Maccadam's shoulders and weapon (2020 release only)

Released as part of theCyberverseDeluxe Classlineup, Arcee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most figures of the toyline and comes with three pieces of the Build-a-FigureMaccadam.She also comes with a blaster based on her in-show firearm, with two effect parts to go with it. In vehicle mode, the effect parts can mount in 2 holes on the back of her trunk, simulating an energon boost. The effect parts can be held in her hands to emulate the dual blue swords of many other Arcee toys. She is nearly a completeshellformer,with her entire vehicle mode folding up onto her back, and only her forearms contributing anything to her alternate mode at all.

Some releases of this figure experienced rapiddiscolorationof the lighter pink parts in only a few months, leaving the forearms, thighs and neck parts yellowed even if not exposed to sunlight. Amusingly, this discoloration results inorange-colored parts.

Arcee was released twice: First in 2020 under theBumblebee: Cyberverse Adventuressubline imprint,and then again in 2021 in the line's finalDinobots Unitesubline imprint packaging refresh. The second release omitted the Maccadam Build-a-Figure part, and also lingered in stores for a very,verylong time, even showing up as late as the 2024 holiday season at "closeout" stores like Ross.

Not even a backpack at this point, it's practically a third leg with the mass of three legs.

• Arcee(Tiny Turbo Changer, 2020)

• Series:3
• Bag code:E2

Part of the third Series ofblindpackedCyberverseTiny Turbo Changers,Arcee is a 1.5-inch soft-plastic figure that transforms into a Cybertronian car in a few steps. Her right hand has a blaster molded into it while her left hand is compatible with 3 mm weapons and acessories.

Series 3, as far as can be told, was never released in the US, appearing only in Canada, Germany, Norway and Taiwan. While a few figures from this Series did see re-release in the short-lived Series 5, Arcee was not one of them.

Notes

• As with several of theCyberversecast, Arcee uses anevergreendesign inspired by her Generation 1counterpartbut with some minor stylistic tweaks.

Foreign names
