HORRIFIC THINGS HAVE HAPPENED TO ARCEE 

Y'know, she probably caused more horror than was inflicted upon her. But we love our pink psycho all the same.

Jesus Christ, who at Hasbro had that much of a grudge against Arcee?

Prime Arcee will always be one of my favorite versions of the characters.

Arcee is one of the greatest characters, not only from the Transformers but from all the science fiction, a mighty but compassionate warrior that is always there to protect her beloved friends

why does almost everything bad happen to arcee all the time

While Arcee is seen as the first female Transformer in the franchise, she isn't actually the first female robot to appear in it, given that there was a whole episode called Enter the Nightbird, that had a Female robot Ninja named Nightbird show up in it where the Decepticons tried to use her as means of infiltrating and obtaining a chip that contained information on all of Earth's resources from the Autobots. And she was a beast for them to deal with given that it took a surprise shot in the back from Starscream (who's station was threatened by Nightbird, because Megatron, who seemed to be infatuated with her, saw her as Starscream's replacement in the Decepticon heirarchy) to actually allow the autobots to take her back to her creator for storage, though strangely they hinted at her returning at some point because the final shot of the episode was her glaring at the fourth wall.

They had already established previously that the bots have to adapt to their bodies upon first activation, so there isn't any logical reason for a sexless species to have a spark that doesn't "align" with the hardware. Basically Arcee went through painful disassembly experimentation for funsies. Actually, this raises the question of spark being moved from body to body not causing some sort of violent reaction where the body tears itself apart since it isn't a gradual change to the body/mind connection. Wouldn't the new body need to be an exact replica of the one that it was first hooked up to since it takes time for it to learn how to operate the initial body in the first place? Anyhow, I agree with just saying Arcee is "the girl bot" and leaving it there because there is no need to complicate it further than that

And worse of all,she’s R34’s most favorite transformer 💀

That bank loaner looks like Megatron and I just like the idea of Megatron sitting on a office chair telling customers to fuck off with their incomplete forms and rejected bank forms

Arcee and Hardhead absolutely wrecking Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, and Jhiaxus in IDW1 was one of my favorite Arcee moments.

Just going off that first little blurb concerning Arcee’s introduction in the movie, I should note there were three other female Autobots shown prior to her debut, one of which essentially being Optimus Prime’s wife, Aelita One. Arcee being a girl wasn’t that big of a deal. Her relationship with Daniel, essentially being a second mother to her, that made her a dynamic character. In my eye at least.

arcee really got the spider-man writers treatment

Techno-organic spider form? Huh, didn't know about that one. I still find the whole "Arcee was a guy until x happened" thing stupid though.

So the gist of it is to never be in a relationship with Arcee neither platonic nor romantic.

Dear lord, the writers sure love torturing Arcee.

I have absolutely nothing to base this on, but my wild speculation is that Japanese Continuity Arcee has had the most peaceful life in comparison to all other versions of herself. Solely because I don't see her being treated any differently than your average attractive female in manga. Feels like the worst that would happen to her would be fanservice.

My one and only complaint about Transformers Prime is that all the Cybertronians main modes are much larger than their alt modes. Arcee, for instance, is a regular sized motorbike as a vehicle but when she transforms back into her main mode, she's like 5 meters tall. The Bayverse films may not make sense a lot of the time but they went to ridiculous lengths to ensure that the Cybetronians main modes are a believable size (i saw a video from the animators for those films that showed Optimus Prime transforming back and forth and the video had x-ray on so you could see the major components of Prime and how he fit together in vehicle mode). And yeah, it's an animated show so they can take certain liberties with stuff but still.

I hate that something as silly as sounds effects take this channel from being easily one of the best transformers info channels all the way to being one of the hardest to listen to. It's like listening to a really fascinating lecture, but every couple sentences, dj Pauly d jumps in with an airhorn. Really great content, don't get me wrong, it's just the slaps and other silly things like that. Hard to get by it lol.

Unhinged, questionable loyalty Arcee actually sounds pretty freaking cool. Do they go too far sometimes in her being tortured and her torturing others? Perhaps, but when held in moderation I think that's a good narrative path to keep her interesting. Sort of like how Black Widow in the comics is actually a bit Punisher-esque (the Avengers movies really softened her, almost a completely different character), is ruthlessly efficient, and takes psychotic glee in hunting and killing those who abuse and exploit children, which makes sense given her own backstory. I for one want Arcee to consistently be characterized as a psychotic assassin type who the Autobots are glad to have on their side (mainly cause it beats the alternative) ... and hope to keep on their side. Let her slay.

I don’t think anything will top the fact she had a forced Sex Change by Shockwave just because he could but I am curious to see what else has happened to the poster girl over the years

You know what's funny, is that Optimus making Arcee to appease to feminists is 100% legit what'd happen.

I love IDW Arcee being an unstoppable force of destruction. The whole sex change thing is a little weird, but everything else is A+

I really feel bad for Arcee for everything she's been through,even though she is a fictional character Is that weird?

In the Movie's one of them was killed on screen (the red one I believe) while the Pink one was shot, with the Blue one taking cover. In a comic they were both killed by Shockwave. They were also shot by the guy that Optimus cut half his head off in the first movie. Go watch the highway chase, and go watch just after Starscream finds them in that building in the desert.

Its funny how arcee gets close to someone and then they die

I don’t think Simon Furman intended for Arcee’s sex change to come across as transphobic or homophonic, he himself said that it didn’t make sense to him why the Transformers would have different genders when they didn’t reproduce sexually. But yeah, I still think it was handled very poorly and leaves a LOT of unfortunate implications.

Well, she was the main female character in a series written for teenage boys, and a lot of this stuff was written in the 2000s, so if she's not getting captured, she's getting traumatized, one way or another. Women getting caught or traumatized was the ''in'' thing back then.

14:05 Don’t worry, Ravage survived. And then he got ripped in half by Tarn later down the line, and promptly died from his injuries.

TFP Arcee is by far my favorite Transformer. Ahead of even TFP Optimus.

I know Arcee is pretty *BUT DAMN* her backstory is something else

Now that Bumblebee is kind of the second protagonist of the franchise next to Optimus, could you do a video on him and what he's done through the generations?

This video has taught me to never pair up with Arcee ever and anyone paired with her will die or has already died. The question is just why

While this is all very dark, and pretty horrific. Let's not forget about what the Fandom has done to her-

I've been following the Transformers franchise for a very long time and I think that Arcee is one of the few characters whose first appearance is the definitive version. Her relationship with Daniel is G1 Season 3 and 4 always spoke to me as a kid. She's such a wonderful mother figure, like Ellen Ripley.

I had no idea Arcee's had it that bad( especially the bay movie continuity)

of all the iterations of Arcee done right, it's Prime Arcee, who is my favorite than animated/Netflix Cybertron series G1 Arcee.

If i had a nickle for every time arcee had been eaten by a giant mechanical scorpion. I would have 2 nickles. Which isn't alot but strange that it happened twice

Arcee is and always have been my favorite TF character.....and IDW is easily...my LEAST favorite Arcee, so for the love of all gods, burn than canon out of existence. My favorite Arcee as well is Transformers Prime Arcee, love her so much in the show, easily my favorite version of her, hope the Rise of the Beast Arcee be close to this version, in the little clips we have seen, she seems doing the kind of acrobatics she use to do in Prime and her vehicle mode is a Motorcycle so, very happy so far and I hardly can't wait for see her finally in a major role in the films....just please let her be HAPPY and stop giving my girl more TRAUMA.

for rise of the beasts, i heard that she and wheeljack are in a relationship but it was cut in the movie (a lot were cut apparently). i would've like to see it just because it sounds pretty funny

Worst thing to happen was the whole forceful gender change she had

I literally just read spotlights Arcee 10 minutes ago for the first time with no knowledge of this video happening whatsoever.

It’s really weird how comic book writers like to torture women characters, like the killing joke

I'd love to see Arcee or Bumblebee as a Prime.

Not trying to be that person but i felt that they didn't need an explanation why there are female TF, no one complained why TF have male apperances, i mean weren't one of the 13 OG primes a female? If they wanted to give a reason they can say she was created along with the other male looking TF, and animal TF.

Why does our gal take so many L"s and suffer from all this trauma this ain't fair at all 😭

Killed ravage?? That's the absolute most unbelievable thing in here. Ravage is always an unstoppable beast. Even in the short intro to the bumblebee live action mlm movie, after prime goes on a decepticon murder spree, they throw ravage at him and he drops mutha friggin prime all by himself lmao

I think whomever first decided to make Arcee the PTSD poster child for Cybertronians has surpassed Ron Friedman for biggest destroyer of feels. That is, until Dreamwave and IDW came into the picture. I can understand if a writer wants to craft a story that invites increased visibility and contemplation of an aspect of our world. But, why do it with an established IP that (originally) has no connection to the issue at hand? Instead of doing an exploration of how an androgenous, non-endocrine driven society could evolve (which could provide thought exercises of what it could be if and when we become a more/all technology organism or even those of us neurodivergent may be feeling now), they become lazy, throwing away all the work that came before them by saying "I'm in charge now, we're doing things my way...because I can." So now, a new generation has a different view of something that further separates them from generations before. Remember, Jhiaxus said that was his reasoning for what he did to Arcee. Does that not make the writers the bad guys too? If you want to write your story, and a lot of times they should because they are important concepts, create your own characters and environment. Don't destroy what bonded people to the IP in the first place.

Ya know with how often her love interests and friends keep dying or getting basically lobotomized I'm starting to think the different writers are just killing off characters so that their Arcee ships can work

I don't know why this guy thanks us for watching his videos, they're great, it's genuinely an enjoyment to. People talk about Prime's Arcee, but much like Animated Prowl is just Groove, Prime Arcee is just Chromia... It ain't really Arcee, but that doesn't make the portray of the character any less iconic.

19:30 - the two being killed is shown as they try to get sam from a house. They turn up with ironhide, but get ambushed. Two are seen being shot, and collapsing.

Dude, the fact that you make your videos funny is just amazing

Most of these sounded more like mostly inconveniences that happened to her more so than horrible things that happened

The two Arcee twines in the revenge of the fallen movie didn’t look like they died more like they got a really hard punch that knocked them out

By The Primes this video is an insane history lesson. Great job.

This is why Arcee is best girl

Keep it up, this stuff is awesome!

Never been a die hard transformers fan, however I was always aware of the different series and characters. I am currently 23 years old, and for a least a decade or however long it’s been since I learned about this character, I honest just realized her name is Arcee. For literally my entire life up until this moment in me typing this comment I swore her name was Acree. I read it as such without a 2nd thought. Funny how life works sometimes😂

Man thank goodness you did that two weeks ago and not like this week. Although you didn't cover what fans would do so I don't think you would cover what Cliffjumper Studios did

HEYO I LUV UR VIDS KEEP IT UP!!

In the same comic where Gage got brainwashed, she managed to convince him of his origins and break them out of the jail cell. They then had a good ending. I read the comic btw

11:50 this part was so funny I subscribed instantly.

12:20 "lemme kindly get his assistance then go on a rage filled hateful of him murder spree to erase the guy who 'helped' me'"

Dude, seriously with that explanation of why she exists in the first place? Really? Anyway, as far as the sex change, in the final analysis, she DID want that but Jhiaxus went out of his way to make the process as painful as possible and do whatever else he could think of to hurt her besides. Because if you're going to go for a process that as far as you know no one's ever done before MAYBE DON'T GO TO THE PSYCHOPATH. It's how he went about it that drove her mad. Also, Wreck-Gar's head admitted the surgery on Sideswipe wouldn't have worked anyway. He'd hoped it would, but in the end all he had was a David Bowie reference because being reminded that he'd just died in real life was totally what I needed at that moment. I'm not crying, it's rust plague.

0:02 I'm pretty sure "MURDERED RAT BAT" is a messed up stuff that arcees done

Also, Bayverse Optimus must have been wrecked seeing his dead girlfriend's sister possessing her dead body and then getting said body destroyed in Egypt.

Cliff jumper finally takes a break, calamity befalls waspinator. Waspinator takes a break, and calamity befalls Arcee.

I need more info on Arcee becoming a Prime. That has me intrigued.

in the bay verse its supposedly 3 characters because the figures even call them Arcee, Chromia, and Elita 1

Hey MrNormalGuy will you be seeing Ultra man season 3 and doing a video on it sense it came out today on May 11th

The charlie part was hilarious!! 😭😂

Do you plan on making a video on the outliers?

Prime Arcee is why I like motorcycles so much ...This video was interesting but, uh... Yeah, yikes. And I thought that version went through a lot. Apparently ol' pink has had it much, much worse. Some of that puts 40K to shame with how grim-dark it is.

I watched the unicron’s abilities video, I did I swear

Wait til Arcee sees what the internet has done to her 😰💀

Don't know if it was mentioned but the thing on her back is a bot named cog...who she watches die as well

22:33 AYO!?- * SCREENSHOTS*

My first time playing WFC trypicon smacked me so hard I went outa bounds

She is literally one of the best autobots, especially in prime, such a badass!

TFP and IDW really bring a darker side of Arcee

What a cute lil dog you’ve got mate

I clearly remember Arcee being Springers love interest in the animated movie.

No joke, Arcana Magnus sounds so fire oml

Hasbro: "We're going to make the first Trans-former!" Me: "Fantastic!" Hasbro: "And we're portraying them as violent, unstable, and monstrous as a direct result of the transition!" Me: "Uhhhh...."

Bay-verse: “The autobots show no mercy, and have no prisoners. Is that dark enough?” Comics: *foolish, you don’t wanna know what the characters have went through in the comics.*

UHHH I THINK YOU GOOFED A BIT WITH THOSE PICTURES AT THE END SPECIALLY THE LAST ONE 👀

why am i not surprised at the most replayed bit?

If I ever write a story for this franchise, this is the one thing I won't be repeating XD

Thank primus for ask Vector Prime. If not for that the only T!Arcee we'd have is the IDW05, whom while I love is so problematic

I thought elita 1 (pink arcee) and arcee were two different characters but then I realized that there are way too many continuities

I don't know why Arcee always gets the title of being the first female transformer. Elita One, Chromia, Firestar, Greenlight, Lancer, Moonracer, all of these female autobots debuted before Arcee did.

Damn shes the spiderman of transformers 💀

Thank god she was done some justice in the rise of the beast movie

Arcee's entire story arch is tragic amd horrific.

Actually a goated but overall complicated character. Don’t know why she was one of my favorite characters. But prob due to her being so different

Arcee is one of the greatest Transformers to ever exist and I will forever love their story.

"Why I'm I not a Princess living in a sky castle" lol!!!!!

Ok You messed up a bit for the movie comics, so here it is. SO Arcee is sisters with Chromia and ELita 1, they joined Optimus when the war broke out, eventually as the first film wraps up, she was on Mars with a team of other AUtobots, failed to kill Starscream and most of her team was killed or their fate unknown, she jumped onto his ship, made it to Cybertron, helped anothe Bot team stop his plan, got captured eventually by THrundercracker and a Con medic named FLatline, ELita 1 and Chromia at this point had already been killed, and Arcee got torn apart and put into a new body with her dead sisters. But because they were sisters her spark was used to bring life back to them, so basically they're now mentally interconnected, know what they are each thinking and generally feeling and can feel the other's pain, they survived Revenge of the Fallen, only for ELita to be crushed to death by SHockwave, and Arcee and Chromis barely manage to survive setting off a bomb trying to kill SOundwave. SO either they are dead, or were too injured and cut contact with everyone to go into hiding and recover, being presumed dead, thus Cemmetary Wind wrote them off as dead.

Noooo she cut rumbles rumblers off, how's he gonna rumble now 😂😂😂

The sound Scorponok makes is really funny.

"Horrific things happened to Arcee" R34 Artists: *(sweats profusely)*
