Although a kind and loyal Autobot, Arcee harbours a merciless and lethal warrior’s instinct. She revels in the heat of pitched battle and applies intelligence, wit and a certain coolness when under fire. Despite her competency as a warrior, Arcee becomes bored and frustrated when performing menial tasks and missions that she feels are below her status. Arcee is highly protective of those she thinks frail compared to herself, including humans and many other fellow Autobots. Arcee is incredibly picky about the company she keeps, and this can alienate her from a lot of her team-mates.

Abilities: In vehicle mode, Arcee can reach speeds of 200 km/h with a range of 800 km. She is fast and manoeuvrable in this mode, thanks to her aerodynamic form. In robot mode, Arcee is armed with a high impact plasma pistol which fires short, rapid bursts of energy. Arcee is an incredibly fluid and skilled fighter, fast enough to slice the hydraulic hoses of an enemy to ribbons before they even realise.

Weaknesses: Autobot and Decepticon alike often underrate her capabilities, which causes Arcee to take unnecessary risks. Her over protective nature can often cloud her better judgment. Arcee’s vehicle mode, due to its open top design, is highly susceptible to enemy fire.
