Arcee (Energon)


 * Arcee is an Autobot in the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.



A headstrong and feisty Omnicon, Arcee is eager to prove she’s as capable a warrior as any other Autobot. She can manipulate and refine raw energon easily; her mastery of the Energon Bow is almost legendary. Unlike other Omnicons, there are not lots of her.

When Unicron, due to energon deprevation, began attacking at all intruders within his body, Arcee was sent from Cybertron to reinforce the Autobots. She served to rally the Omnicon forces and provide Kicker Jones with rapid, agile transportation through the dangerous interiors of Unicron. After she and Kicker managed to breach his defenses, the Omnicons provided Unicron's core with Energon stars, calming down the dormant Chaos Bringer's violent tendancies. All the Sky blast and Strongarm Omnicons harbour a crush for her which makes it all the easier for her to boss them around.

Dreamwave Energon Comics
Arcee and her fellow Omnicons are upgraded Mini-Cons, sent by Over-Run to assist Optimus Prime in repelling the Horsemen of Unicron. They then went to Earth to stop Scorponok and his Terrorcons in Australia.

Proving to be a bit too out of control to base near human cities, they were sent to the site of a new energon well in the Yukon. They were captured by Snow Cat while blowing off some steam, who attempted to rewrite their programming to turn them into Decepticons. Subconciously guided by the snarky floating advice-giving head of Over-Run, they managed to break free by combining their powers. More teamwork led to Snow Cat's defeat, and a better understanding of their abilities.

On a mission with Kicker to the Black Sea in Turkey to locate a new energon well underwater, they were attacked by Mirage (who had previously butted heads with them as Tidal Wave), Slugslinger and Sharkticon, who were attempting to capture the energon-empathic human. Though the Omnicons were beaten down, Kicker’s powers revitalized the team and allowed them to force the Decepticons to retreat.

Energon

 * Arcee (Basic, 2004)
 * Japanese ID number: SC-16
 * Arcee transforms into a 'superbike'-type racing motorcycle. Unusual for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do, her Energon Bow instead mounts on a peg in her arms, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey missile 'arrow'. As an Omnicon, her clear-red Energon Bow can be used by other toys. She also has an Energon star that can be attached to the spark crystal on most Energon-series toys


 * This mold was used to make Chromia, Flamewar, Flareup and the Movie Universe version of Arcee and Elita-One.


 * Ariel Paradron Type (Basic, 2004)
 * Japanese ID number: EX-02
 * A Takara "Toys Dream Project" exclusive, the Paradron-type version replaces all the black and red paint with varying shades of green, as well as recasting her energon parts in clear-green. This color scheme was inspired by the Paradron Medic from Generation 1.
