New Transformers Animated Character Biographies

This makes it seem even more likely that the Arcee toy will be out soon right?

I tend to agree with Harvester. This nonsense about the Animated line being cancelled a while back was a load of horse putty...They may end it after the season 3 toons, but they will do the season 3 figs...otherwise their is almost no point to the cartoon; after all, that's what it's there for- to sell toys!

omg i hope so!

lol I don't understand the ARCEE crush everybody has. Don't mistake me, I'm a huge ARCEE fan myself, I'm just not sure why. She never realy did all that much in the cartoons (and I didn't read G1 comics), she didn't have a toy to call her own untill ENERGON (which was a very cool lil' toy, I have the original and three repaints myself) and she was a wilting 'damsel in distress' in ANIMATED.
I much prefer her bio in THE ULTIMATE GUIDE, and ENERGON's consept of her as a marksmech.
...In my mind, I already own the ANIMATED fig

personally I've always wanted an Arcee toy. When the first movie came out, I pretty much had every toy in the movie except extra junkions and the alligator shark type guys on the Quintesson planet[the Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong part]. The quintessons themselves I didn't care too much about cause they didn't transform. I only wanted transforming figures [otherwise I used to think they were "useless"].

Arcee was like the holy grail cause it would seem she should have a toy, she was part of the new Cybertronian crew in the movie and had similar color schemes/style and she transformed and had a cool form in both ways. But one never came out. The other guys did [Blurr, Kup, Springer]. The one you're talking about is a motorcycle and to me, that's like never having a Prime toy and then they finally come out with a "Primal Prime" but never a truck.

So for this new animated version, it would be like the first "official" Arcee fig that's close to the G1 iteration.

This is even better but not official..

I dont know much about the above figure but it looks nice to me.

That's why Im excited =P [and I have the Binaltech version of her but it's not the same, even if I finally get around to sculpting her a new head]

Dude. It's a chick. It's a transformer chick... [think lucy liu-bot...]

wow I stired up a bit of a reaction. I agree that part of ARCEE's apeal is the mystique of her absent G1 toy and the long wait 'till ENERGON, but I realy hope it's not 'cause of the 'chick robot' thing. That's... a little creepy I'm guessing you were a fan of THUNDERBLAST on CYBERTRON? (Jokes, brother. Absolutely no offence meant.)

WOW. just checked out that link. THAT is a masterpeice. that is exactly the G1 ARCEE figure we have always dreamed of . Nice find!

Well time to creep eveyone out even more.

I prefer the G1 Arcee to Animated because she had much prettier legs. rrrrrrrr,

Oh, dude, I hope you're right that it is about the missing G1 figure. I really do...

[cough] furries [cough]

Me, personally, I like her cause she doesn't make sense. Why genderize?

Oh yeah, sex sells.

Arcee was a major character both in the Movie and in season 3. TF fans get pissed off when major characters dont get a toy. And she was the first well known female transformer.

She was probably also the first main character that didn't get a toy. Did any other main characters not get a toy?

I went through those bios, neat stuff.

I'm just upset that they haven't put the new Transformers like Strika or Rodimus Prime up yet.
