Arcee's vehicle mode is obviously based on her Energon/first Movie incarnation, rather than the G1/Animated "futuristic car" version. She is no slouch in close-quarters combat either her small size lends her unmatched agility and athleticism, and she has been trained in a variety of martial arts techniques by Jazz and Mirage. Her years of target shooting have granted her impeccable aim if given the opportunity she could (and probably would) shoot a hapless Decepticon’s head clear off from a distance of many kilometers. Trained with a weapon since youth, Arcee's weapon of choice is a long-range energon crossbow. This is an ill-advised notion, however, as Arcee is actually one of the most capable warriors on the Autobot team. Despite being one of the younger crew members of the Ark, her skill and intellect earn her a great deal of respect from her peers, which she often utilizes to come to the defense of her friend Bumblebee.īecause of her youth, small size, and gender, Arcee is frequently underestimated by the Decepticons. She continues her father’s legacy on the Ark, acting as the ship’s navigator, though she still clings to her adventurous spirit and is just as much at home in the heat of battle. Frequently left to her own devices while the “adults” were off somewhere on an away mission, Arcee kept herself busy by exploring the insides of the Axalon and whatever wilderness the planet offered, as well as performing target practice on oil barrels and hapless petro-rabbits. She spent much of her youth hopping from planet to planet, barely given enough time to take in all the wonders and dangers of each world before being whisked off to the next. Arcee grew up on the exploratory starship Axalon, captained by her father Kup.
