[[Image:ArceeEn-jcard.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Yes, she is a girl.]]

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 (planet)|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 star|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-Con]]s, sent by [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] to assist [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] in repelling the Horsemen of [[Unicron]]. They then went to [[Earth]] to stop [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and his [[Terrorcon (Energon)|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 [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]] while blowing off some steam, who attempted to rewrite their programming to turn them into [[Decepticon]]s. 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 [[Tidal Wave|Mirage]] (who had previously butted heads with them as Tidal Wave), [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]] and [[Sharkticon (Energon)|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.

*'''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 (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar]], [[Flareup]] and the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie Universe]] version of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|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]].

===Universe===
*'''Arcee''' (Basic, 2005)

: Arcee (along with many other ''Energon'' Basic toys) was repackaged without alteration onto ''[[Universe]]''-series cards, and sold at US heavy-discount chains like Family Dollar and Big Lots!.

===Attacktix===
[[Image:AttacktixArcee.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Did she have to remove one of her... um...]]

*'''Arcee''' (Booster, 2007)
: ''Attacktix ID number'': '''TF01'''

: Part of the second series of ''Transformers'' ''[[Attacktix]]'', Arcee was only available in Booster Packs, blind-packed boxes each containing one "rare" and one "Super Rare" piece. A "Rare" 20-point "Leader"-class piece, Arcee fires a standard ''Attacktix'' missile. Her Special Power "Rescue" does something that we don't know what yet.

==Trivia==
* Arcee's ''Energon'' show model is the base for the [[Autobot nurse]] model, as well as a couple other generic female Autobots.
* The french version of Arcee is dubbed by a man. Nobody could tell the difference.

Skyblast (Energon)

{{disambig3|Skyblast}}

:''Skyblast is an [[Autobot]] [[Omnicon]] in the [[Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:EnergonSkyblastOmnicon-art.jpg|right|thumb|250px|He's not [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]], but he wants your wallet.]]

'''Skyblast''' is a young Omnicon. Although he is a skilled tactician, he prefers spending time working on his aerial stunts. Like the other Omnicons, he can convert raw [[energon]] into [[energon chips]] and weaponry.

Also, like other Omnicons, sometimes there are lots of him.

:''Japanese name:'' '''Air Glide'''

*'''Skyblast''' (Omnicon, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SC-07'''

: Part of the first wave of ''Energon'' product, Skyblast transforms into a Cybertronic jet. He comes with multiple clear-plastic "energon" parts, which form an underslung cannon and jet boosters in jet mode, and can combine to form an "energon spear" melee weapon which can have the blade removed to become a sniper rifle. He also has an Autobot-style [[energon chip]] that can attach the to [[spark crystal]] of other ''Energon''-series toys. The [[Takara]] version uses a lighter clear-plastic than the [[Hasbro]] vesion.

: Skyblast was recolored into [[Skyblast (Movie)|movie Skyblast]] and [[Air Raid (Movie)|movie Air Raid]] and his energon spear has been used to make multiple [[exclusive]] [[energon weapon]]s.

===Attacktix===
*'''Starter Set''' (2006)
:''Attacktix ID number'': '''TF21''' (robot mode)

:Faction: Autobot
:Class: Warrior
:Special: Transform
:Point Cost: 30 - 8/26 (31%) success ratio
:Base Speed: 8
:Attack Type: Prodder (Spear)

: Skyblast has four points of articulation (shoulders, waist and head), though it's effectively three as the shoulders move simultaneously. Unlike [[Landquake|other prodders]] Skyblast's articulation does not change his angle of attack very much, making him more difficult to position for a decisive shot.

: Fortunately Skyblast's low base speed means it's unlikely you'll get him close enough to anyone to stuff up your shot on them. Sadly, this is the figure you're probably going to be left with if your Skyblast vehicle form dies. Good luck trying to kill anyone with him, though.

:''Attacktix ID number'': '''TF22''' (vehicle mode)
:Faction: Autobot
:Class: Specialist
:Special: Transform - 20/26 (77%) success ratio
:Point Cost: 20
:Base Speed: 4
:Attack Type: Shooter (Small missile)

:If your robot mode Skyblast succeeds in using his ''Transform'' power you can bring in this figure from your back-ups. Both pieces were sold in a "Starter Set" with Attacktix [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Overhaul]] and [[Dirt Boss (Cybertron)|Dirt Boss]]. A special Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] variant of the Starter Set also came with a bonus fifth piece, a specially-colored [[Light Unit|Decepticlone]].

:The vehicle form of Skyblast has only one point of articulation, which allows him to swivel down almost 90 degrees to the ground. This configuration basically turns Skyblast into a shield, making him one of the most effective defensive figures yet released for ''[[Attacktix]]''.

:Vehicle Skyblast can also ''Transform'', bringing his robot form into play from your back-ups.

==Trivia==
[[Image:SkyblastToes.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Uh... He likes to feel the sand beneath his feet?]]

* Skyblast is an [[homage]] to the [[Generation 1]] character [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]], especially in the head design. However, rival toy company Mattel managed to secure and Register the trademark to "Skyfire" since Hasbro used it last, so the fallback name "Skyblast" was used.

* Hasbro stock photos depict a preproduction Skyblast that has... toes?

Crumplezone (Armada)

:''Japanese name:'' '''Cannon'''

==Fiction==

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Cyclonus with Mini-Con Crumplezone''' (Deluxe, 2002/2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-04'''

: Available only with his larger partner [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], Crumplezone transforms into a tank of made-up model. He also has a third configuration, turning into a long-nosed "cockpit" with under-slung cannon that can attach to the front end of Cyclonus (once you raise his normal canopy up). Combined in this way, Cyclonus's rotor [[gimmick]] also makes Crumplezone's gun-barrel wave back and forth as well as making Cyclonus's vehicle mode look so much cooler.

: The [[Takara]] version of the toy is for the most part the same, only it uses slightly brighter shades of the same plastic colors.

: This mold was also used to make [[Heavy Barrel]].

*'''Sandstorm w/ Cannon and Destruction Micron''' (Multi-pack, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MS-04'''

: This Japanese release is largely identical to the single-packed version, except that it comes with the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], whose gear-gimmicks were designed to function with Cyclonus.

*'''Megatron with Leader-1 and Cyclonus with Crumplezone''' (Built to Rule, 2003)

: A building-brick figure that kinda sorta vaguely not really turns from robot to tank, ''[[Built To Rule]]'' Crumplezone was only available in the largest set in the series with Cyclonus, [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] and [[Leader-1]].

*'''Powerlinx Cyclonus with Mini-Con Crumplezone''' (Deluxe, 2003)

: [[Redeco]]ed along with his larger partner, Crumplezone got a new green and brown color scheme in this late addition to the ''Armada'' series.

===Energon===
*'''Cyclonus with Mini-Con Crumplezone''' (Deluxe, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-03'''

: Once again redecoed for the ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series, Crumplezone gained a black and light-gray coloration. He was also slightly [[retool]]ed; his legs were attached to his waist-piece by a bolt rather than with ball-and-socket joints.

: While this set was a normal retail release as part of the Takara ''Super Link'' line, in the [[Hasbro]] ''Energon'' line it was a Kay-Bee stores [[exclusive]].
