'''Scorponok'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s origin differs greatly depending on which universe you are speaking of. What doesn't change, however, is the fact that he's a massive and terrifying sight on the battlefield and a vicious military leader in league with the mysterious [[Alpha Quintesson]].

[[Image:StarscreamEnergon-NoExit.jpg|left|thumb|250px|When ''Starscream'' thinks you're a troublemaker, you're probably a Big Deal.]]
Scorponok was a powerful [[Decepticon]] warrior who aided [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] in his war of conquest on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Somewhat counter to Megatron's personal style of guile and subterfuge, Scorponok chose to conduct himself in a more direct manner, leading from the frontlines and being at the forefront of many battles. [[Starscream (Armada)| Starscream]] warned Megatron that Scorponok might be a possible threat to his leadership one day in the future. {{storylink|No Exit}}

During the massive battle with [[Unicron]], Starscream saw Scorponok "get his undercarriage toasted" by the giant planet-eater and assumed him deceased. After Unicron's subsequent defeat, Scorponok sought out (or was recovered by) Alpha Quintesson, who granted him a newly-enhanced "[[Super Mode|Hyper-Mode]]" laden with [[Energon weapon|energon-powered weaponry]]. He gathered a small group of loyal followers, dubbed the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]], to undertake Alpha Quintesson's will. On a return trip to Cybertron where he recruited [[Tidal Wave (Armada)| Tidal Wave]], Scorponok killed Starscream in a fit of pique. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}} Subsequently, he led the Terrorcons to [[Earth]] to attack [[Alterenergy]] installations and drain the planet of its natural [[Energon (Energon)|energon]] sources. However, the newly-enhanced [[Autobot]] forces led by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)| Optimus Prime]] foiled his initial incursion, and [[Unicron's Four Horsemen]] forcibly retrieved the Terrorcons when Scorponok seemed to be stepping too far out of the boundaries of Alpha Quintesson's plans. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath}} {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}} {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Three}} {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Four}}
[[Image:Scorponok dies Energon.jpg|right|150px|thumb|True friends stab you in the ''front''.]]

The Terrorcons' next attempt at invading Earth came as Alpha Quintesson sicced clone armies of [[Divebomb (Energon)| Divebomb]], [[Cruellock]], [[Battle Ravage]], and [[Insecticon (Energon)| Insecticon]] on the planet. {{storylink|Multiplicity}} Scorponok was given the task of taking out a newly-constructed Autobot [[Energon Tower (building)|Energon Tower]] situated in the Yukon. He easily defeated the Autobots guarding it, but was interrupted in his task by the newly-revived Megatron. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}}

Recognizing Scorponok as an obstacle to regaining his power, Megatron engaged the Terrorcon leader in a brief but intense battle. The two argued their respective strategies of subtlety and brute force as they clashed. While Scorponok temporarily gained the upper hand when he buried Megatron under a collapsing mountain, he reckoned without Megatron's new personal teleportation system. As Scorponok stood gloating, Megatron teleported behind him and ran him through with an Energon sword. Scorponok's frame bled out a massive amount of Energon, then expired still on its feet, his body now nothing more than a standing monument to Megatron's triumph. {{storylink|No Exit}}

Scorponok was formerly the [[Grand Chamberlain]] of the world known as "[[Planet Q]]", guardian of the planet's ruler, the being who would later come to be known as [[Alpha Q]]. When [[Unicron]] attacked Planet Q at some undetermined point in the past, the ruler was too frozen with fear to act, and the chamberlain sacrificed his life to detonate the planet's core, blowing it up in Unicron's face. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}}

Within Unicron's body, however, the spark of Planet Q's ruler continued to exist, and when Unicron was deactivated in 2010, he was able to access the chaos-bringer's powers and create a new body for himself, becoming "Alpha Q". By the year 2020, seeking energon in order to recreate the planets consumed by Unicron, including his own, Alpha Q had recreated the armies of Planet Q as Terrorcons and resurrected the chamberlain as Scorponok to be their leader {{storylink|Energon Stars}} ''using the spark of a dead Decepticon''. {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}} To turn existing Decepticons to their side, Scorponok was armed with a sword forged from their deceased leader [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'s spark, {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}} but when a fit of rage led him to stab the blade into Megatron's corpse, the Decepticon leader was reborn. Despite Scorponok's best efforts, Megatron proceeded to beat Scorponok half to death with his bare hands, [[Branding|branded]] him with the Decepticon symbol, and ousted Alpha Q from Unicron's body. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}}

Scorponok continued to serve Alpha Q in secret, operating under Megatron's command, until Megatron discovered his deception and attempted to use him as bait to draw out Alpha Q. Chained to an asteroid, Scorponok was cast into Earth's Energon Grid and almost destroyed, {{storylink|Rodimus: Friend or Foe?}} but Rodimus rescued him, {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}} and Scorponok then openly served under Alpha Q in his alliance with the Autobots. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} During this team-up, Scorponok gained an admirer in the young Autobot [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]], but in his final conflict with Megatron within Unicron, Scorponok was defeated and thought destroyed during an explosive energon reaction. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}

This reaction allowed Alpha Q to achieve his goal to recreate the planets Unicron had destroyed, which were immediately targeted by the Decepticons as sources of energon. It was during the attacks on these planets that Scorponok resurfaced, having been restored by Megatron and now totally loyal to him. {{storylink|Protection}} Scorponok continued to serve Megatron throughout the remainder of his campaign, {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} ''personally leading a force Terrorcons to obtain the energon of the restored Planet Q. Alpha Q hoped the sight of his old home planet would help Scorponok to shake of Megatron's programming, but it failed. Scorponok was fought off by the joint efforts of Ironhide and Alpha Q. From then on, Scorponok's old friends came to consider him an enemy to be destroyed. {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}''

During the Decepticons' takeover of Cybertron, Ironhide engaged Scorponok in battle, smarting from the betrayal of a 'bot he had looked up to. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}} Both combatants were severely wounded and eventually collapsed, but when Ironhide's [[Spark of Combination]] activated in response to a summons from [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] on the [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Scorponok awoke and dragged his former ally to Jungle Planet. Scorponok told Ironhide that he had only saved him so that he might save Galvatron from Unicron... but something suddenly stirred his memory of Alpha Q's beloved planets. Scorponok then collapsed and perished. {{storylink|The Sun}}

Despite [[Unicron]]'s apparent death inside the [[Unicron Singularity]], his essence's will was still strong enough to use the reality-altering black hole to bring Scorponok to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Now '''Dark Scorponok''', this undead creature stalked the evacuated planet surface, screaming in hunger and pain, crying out for [[spark]]s upon which to feast. At first, Dark Scorponok assaulted [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]], {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 2}}, who survived due to his powerful force field ability, but the monster was drawn away by [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]]'s evil [[Mini-Con]] minions towards the [[Kalis Primary Energon Reserves Control]], where [[Vector Prime]] and [[Sentinel Maximus]] were located. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 3}} After a prolonged fight, Sentinel Maximus was able to defeat Dark Scorponok, after which he and Vector Prime realized this was just a diversion. They abandoned what was left of Dark Scorponok, unable to solve his affliction, as their attentions were needed elsewhere, below the planet's surface. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 4}}

*'''Scorponok''' (Ultra, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-05'''

[[Image:Energon Scorponok toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Color scheme courtesy of a vat of assorted M&Ms.]]

: ''Energon'' Scorponok transforms into a...scorpion-shaped construction vehicle thing. That just happens to look like a giant scorpion. Yeah. He has two articulated, scorpion pincer-shaped bucket scoops on two articulated arms along with a scorpion stinger-shaped crane hook on the end of a scorpion tail-shaped crane arm. The tail also has a ''really'' sensitive sound effects button that is set off whenever somebody breathes near the toy, filling the room with the sound of metal clanking. The vehicle is also armed with decidedly non-scorpion-like double laser cannons behind each tread, two translucent yellow laser cannons either side of his cockpit, and two flip-out laser cannons on the end of his crane arm, which are activated by pushing the small cockpit-shaped device (which also has a Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]] port) forwards. Inside his bucket scoops are two spring-loaded missile launchers in translucent housings. The right pincer houses his spark crystal while the left has another Mini-Con Powerlinx port.

: Scorponok can also transform into an non-aerodynamic space fighter mode, with his crane arm serving as the nose, the tiny, translucent spikes on his pincer-shaped bucket scoops acting as the wing tips, and the turbines on his ankles becoming the engines.

[[Image:Superlink MegaZarak toy.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Mega-mintier and super-improved!]]

: In robot mode, Scorponok bears a significant resemblance to his [[Scorponok (G1)|''Generation 1'' namesake]], though pretty much all Scorponoks who transform into robot mode end up with a [[Scorponok (Movie)|similar arrangement of]] [[Scorponok (BW)|beast mode parts in robot form]]. While his legs have articulation typical of toys in that size class of the time, Scorponok has extremely restricted arm articulation due to the fact he has no up-and-down shoulder movement. This could be rectified by leaving his shoulder pads transformed as they would be in space fighter mode, but of course, this is not his proper appearance. On Scorponok's pincers are 5mm peg holes to accommodate all forms of Terrorcon and [[Omnicon]] [[Energon weapon|Energon weaponry]], as well as most other accessories featuring a similar peg system.

: The Hasbro ''Energon'' release of Scorponok was in a riot of not-exactly-cohesive colours including pale green, black, orange-red, yellow and blue. The Takara ''Super Link'' Mega Zarak release removed the black and red, replacing them with metallic dark green and gold.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Double Punch]].

{{-}}{{anchor|BTR}}
[[Image:Energon BTR Scorponok.jpg|right|300px|thumb|CONstruction is better than DEstruction, if you catch mah drift?]]
*'''Scorponok''' (Built to Rule, 2004)

: The ''Energon'' version of ''[[Built to Rule]]'' Scorponok was designed with a much more solid skeleton and larger, blockier limbs compared to the ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' range of ''Built to Rule'' toys. It can be rebuilt from a Cybertronic scorpion-shaped construction vehicle thing into a robot...or into basically whatever you feel like doing with the parts.

: Unfortunately, due to the slow performance of the ''Built to Rule'' line overall, the ''Energon'' versions only had a limited, test-market release initially in and around Cincinnati, Ohio. The sets later filtered out into many ''Tuesday Morning'' and ''Ollie's'' chain stores at drastically reduced prices.

===Cybertron===

*'''Dark Scorponok''' (Ultra-Class, 2005)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles, Jungle Planet style Cyber Key

:''Cybertron'' Dark Scorponok is an extensive [[redeco]] of ''Energon'' Scorponok, based heavily upon [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'s [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]]. Naturally, his predominant colour scheme is black with gold and translucent dark red, but it also carries over blue from the ''Energon'' release of this toy. As part of the ''Cybertron'' line, the crane arm 'stinger' laser cannons and housing have been [[Retool|retooled]] to accommodate a spring-loaded [[Cyber Planet Key]] gimmick, for which inserting the key will cause the lasers to flip out into position.

: Dark Scorponok includes a silver-bordered, Jungle Planet-style Cyber Key with the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''u812'''" printed on the back. Entering this into Hasbro's ''Cybertron'' website revealed additional bio information and an image of Dark Scorponok's toy control art (basically a modified version of his ''Energon'' toy control art, complete with dropped early features.)

: This is also the only toy in the entire Unicron Trilogy that can accept a Mini-Con, Energon Star, and Planet Key (the three series respective power up gimmicks) all at once.

===Attacktix===
*'''Scorponok''' (Booster, 2006)
[[Image:Energon Attacktix Scorponok.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Now cough.]]
{{attacktix
|ID=TF15
|faction=Decepticon
|class=Captain
|special=Recruit - 10/26 (38%) success ratio
|cost=30
|speed=10
|attacktype=Striker (Scoop Arm)
}}
{{-}}

: ''[[Attacktix]]'' Scorponok's scoop attack was designed to tip over other figures by scooping up their bases. It uses a free-swinging joint controlled by the player, rather than a spring-loaded attack like most other strikers. If one turns Scorponok at his waist, it's possible to get a nearly 360-degree swing into the attack, delivering more power than any other striker besides the Mega figure [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]].

: This unexpected power level allows Scorponok to knock down any other figure, any defensive formation, and even any ''Mega figure'' easily. If Scorponok gets into range, you don't stand a chance. This seemingly unbalanced level of power has led some players to suggest Scorponok should be banned from tournament play. In practice, though, it just makes him your opponent's most immediate target.

: When Scorponok dies, he has the potential to summon up to two [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticons]] from your back-ups. Bringing in multiple Troopers makes him an excellent support figure for the [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]]/[[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]] combo.

===Titanium Series===
*'''Scorponok''' (Robot Master, 2006)

[[Image:Titanium Robotmasters EnergonScorponok.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Did I do...good?]]
: ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Scorponok is a small, 3-inch [[die-cast]] metal-and-plastic figurine of Scorponok based upon his ''Energon'' appearance. He can't transform, but has some articulation at the shoulders, neck and waist. He comes with a Decepticon display stand.

: Scorponok is the only ''Energon''-series character in the ''Titaniums'' line, and one of only two [[Unicron Trilogy]] characters made for the line.

{{-}}

==Notes==
* Scorponok's visor was a late addition to his design, at the insistence of the toy's "mech designer" [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]].

[[Image:Scorpguns.jpg|right|150px|thumb|MY GOD! With those gone, he's only 1/1200 of the way to being completely unarmed!]]
* Some late changes were made to Scorponok's design, including but not limited to Scorponok's articulated shovel "thumbs" being de-articulated for the final version, Scorponok's hip cannons being severely shortened and losing their joints (also lessening the [[Scorponok (G1)|Generation 1 Scorponok]] cannon nod a tiny bit), and also entirely losing large cannons that presumably pegged into the now-vacant holes on the sides Scorponok's knees. The first two changes can be readily seen on the pre-release toy shown in Energon Scorponok's box pictures, while the third can only be seen on Scorponok and Dark Scorponok's control art.

* Scorponok and his Japanese counterpart Mega Zarak seemingly have "swapped" card art: The deco patterns on each [[Tech Spec]] card more closely resemble the other country's release. Mega Zarak's artwork even has the US toy's color scheme. Despite the seemingly swapped color of the Dreamwave art/CG render, both Scorponoks have purple thighs—a stronger G1 homage, but notably absent from either deco.

* There are several significant differences in the story of Scorponok between ''Super Link'' and its English dub as ''Energon''. Primarily, the episode "[[Scorponok's Scars]]" revealed that Scorponok was not the same entity as the Grand Chamberlain of Planet Q, but merely a being that Alpha Q had created in his image out of an emotional connection, using the [[spark]] of a "wandering Decepticon" (often speculated by fans to be [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], who died on Unicron during ''Armada'') and programming him to behave as the chamberlain had done. For unknown reasons, this episode was never dubbed into English, and the following episode is even redubbed to remove any references to it. {{-}}Furthermore, while the ''Energon'' series only ever presents Scorponok as having been mind-wiped/reprogrammed by Megatron (in the same manner as he did to [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] and [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]), Scorponok and Ironhide's final exchange in ''Super Link'' makes the matter a bit ambiguous. Up until this point, Scorponok has rejected all claims that Alpha Q was ever his master, and restates constantly that Galvatron is the only master he knows. However, his final line—a near-whispered "Our planets..."—followed by a shocked reaction from Ironhide ("Scorponok? So... you do..."), indicates that he does remember after all (Scorponok's line survives into the ''Energon'' dub, but Ironhide's does not, thus depriving the whole thing of the punctuation that makes it clear what the exchange is suggesting). It is not clear from the scene, however, whether Scorponok has always had his memories and has simply been lying to himself and others throughout the series, or if he is merely only remembering now, reminded of the [[Energon Orb|energon sun]] by Ironhide's glowing [[Combination Spark]].

:''Starscream is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Starscreamanimated.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Special skills: <s>barefist fighting</s> backstabbing, aggressive negotiation, dramatic oratory, self-resurrection, clone production, [[chin]]-stroking.]]
'''Starscream''' is easily as accomplished, powerful and deserving of leadership as [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. At least, that's what he thinks. Power-hungry and driven by jealousy, Starscream operates through three ideals: lying, manipulation and deception. And when all else fails, a bit of sabotage never goes astray. Wise bots are careful about turning their backs on Starscream, just in case it's the day he finally decides to shove in the knife.

Though not as powerful as Megatron (despite what he thinks of himself), Starscream is by no means a wimp. His weapons can demolish large buildings, and he can fly around so fast that he can break free of [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet's]] magnetic powers. Unfortunately, all these abilities are offset by an enormous ego and the tendency to make long, overbearing speeches when he should just get on with it and fight. More than once, his leanings towards bombast have caused him to miss a golden opportunity. Sadly, he doesn't seem to be learning from these mistakes.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Tom Kenny]] (English), [[Jin Yamanoi]] (Japan), [[Stefan Staudinger]] (German), [[Krzysztof Korzeniowski]] (Polish) [[Daniele Demma]] (Italian), [[Alexis Quiroz]] (Latin American Spanish, season 1 and 2), [[Leonardo Salas]] (Latin American Spanish, season 3)

Starscream was aboard the ''[[Nemesis (Animated)|Nemesis]]'' when it came across an [[Teletran-1|Autobot repair ship]] that appeared to be emitting the energy signature of the fabled [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]]. Starscream's doubt of the AllSpark's very existence and his dismissal of Megatron's millennia-long search did not sit well with [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]], and an argument broke out on the bridge until Megatron himself arrived and all fell silent. Starscream was forced to eat his words when [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] confirmed that the energy coming off the ship was indeed that of the AllSpark, but quickly volunteered to secure it for his leader. Seeing through his lieutenant's greed, Megatron put a dent in Starscream's wing and rose to obtain it for himself. As he was leaving, however, Starscream arrived at the airlock to wish Megatron luck and patted him on the back—planting an overload device on him in the process. As Megatron attacked the Autobot ship, the device overloaded his circuits and caused an explosion that led Starscream to believe that Megatron was no more. In the aftermath of the blast, Starscream got so caught up in his own greatness that he didn't notice that his comrades had left him on the ship, hurtling towards an exploding space bridge.

[[Image:MegsRisingPt1-StarTeeth.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Who knew that Starscream could recommend Colgate!]]
Surviving the explosion, Starscream spent the next fifty [[Units of time|solar cycles]] searching for the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] on his own, using the damaged ship as a base (and probably getting a few screws loose in his [[central processor]] in the meantime). Detecting the faint signal of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Starscream tapped into television broadcasts from the planet and discovered that the Autobot ship had landed there. ''While heading for the planet, Starscream was approached by Blackarachnia, who was also seeking the AllSpark for her own purposes and proposed an alliance. Starscream was unsurprisingly unwilling to share power, and he booted Blackarachnia out into space just before the ship warped away. Starscream was so occupied by the task, however, that he failed to notice Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] appearing in the ship's path.'' {{storylink|Dispatches}}

One crash-landing later, Starscream abandoned the ruined hulk of the ship and headed down to Earth, immediately drawing the attention of military jets. After a brief dogfight, Starscream scanned one of the jets as an alternate mode in order to continuing searching incognito. The search did not go on long, as Starscream found the Autobots watching a [[Crimson Angels]] air show, and he quickly joined in the proceedings. Upon revealing himself to the Autobots, he quickly thrashed each of them individually. Starscream mocked them, apparently assuming that the Autobots thought ''they'' had really defeated Megatron (whom he referred to as "the great Megatron" without sarcasm, so he seems to have at least a loathing respect for his leader's power). All too boastful of his cunning, Starscream boldly admitted that Megatron was already defeated by the bomb which Starscream himself had put on him. Despite being more powerful than the Autobots, Starscream failed to take the AllSpark, partially because he [[Megatron (BW)|spent too much time gloating]]. [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] grabbed Starscream in midair, and they opened the AllSpark, releasing a massive wave of energy. Optimus was killed by the energy surge and subsequent fall (he got better), while Starscream disappeared. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

[[Image:StarscreamProfessorArrivalIssue2.jpg|thumb|Oh, so ''that's'' what happened to Whatisname...]]
''Starscream was hurled into the wilderness by the AllSpark energy surge, where he lay, unconscious and undisturbed, for an unspecified period of time. Eventually, Starscream came back online, only to discover that his body had succumbed to [[stasis lock]], leaving him immobile. As "luck" would have it, it was at this moment that he was happened upon by the villainous [[Professor Princess]], whom Starscream attempted to sweet-talk into triggering his manual reset. She was insistent upon "fixing up" Starscream first, plastering him with makeup and a wig, but when the horrified Starscream screamed at her, she just decided to blast him. Her rainbow-blast jumpstarted Starscream's systems, and he seized the Professor, but before he could reduce her to a pink stain, she threatened to broadcast an image of the prettified Starscream all over the world and perhaps the galaxy. Preferring ''not'' to be hideously embarrassed, Starscream let her live and quickly departed, unaware that she'd worked her fashion magic on his wings, too.'' {{storylink|Whatever Happened To Whatisname?}}

[[Image:Megatron rising 1 Starscream freakout.jpg|left|150px|thumb|"Do you have any idea how long I spent preparing that speech!?"]]
Starscream laid low on Earth, until he revealed himself to a badly damaged [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] and Lugnut, offering them help in exchange for their loyalty. {{storylink|Lost and Found (episode)|Lost and Found}} After repairing the duo, Starscream continually had to reassert his authority over the two walking malfunctions, who were quick to point out that their service was by threat, not choice. As Lugnut went prostrate with praise, Starscream was initially quite flattered by the hulking Decepticon's obsequity, but quickly learned that the big guy was being manipulated by an outside source. Tracking the transmission, he came to [[Sumdac Tower]] and was quite surprised to find the disembodied head of his former leader. Megatron, aware of Starscream's betrayal after seeing a news report on his earlier battle with the Autobots {{storylink|Home Is Where the Spark Is}} but not wanting to tip his hand, greeted Starscream as a "devoted and faithful subject", while Starscream adopted a subservient attitude himself. Beginning the smug monologue to end all smug monologues, he was interrupted by the senseless heroics of the Autobot [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]. Focusing his attentions on the yellow little squirt, he mistakenly assumed that Megatron was helpless, an oversight that allowed the galactic despot to control the lab's machinery and defenestrate the traitor. Even so Starscream remained fixated on Bumblebee, and thus was caught unaware when the repaired form of Megatron burst from the tower roof. {{storylink|Megatron Rising - Part 1}}

[[Image:PayThePiper.JPG|150px|thumb|Ghost in three...two...one...]]
Starscream watched with interest, tossing Bumblebee around absentmindedly as Megatron trashed the Autobots. When Megatron called out his loyal Decepticons, Starscream gracefully landed on Lugnut's head, ready to return to his position as second-in-command. Megatron prepared to fire on the Autobots, but quickly lashed out and rammed the [[AllSpark Key]] into Starscream's chest, seemingly offlining the traitor, who then crumpled to the ground. {{storylink|Megatron Rising - Part 2}}

[[Image:Jagged.JPG|left|150px|thumb|All tied up and ready for ''Kiss Players''.]]
Sometime later, Starscream awoke on a garbage barge, evidently thrown in by an Autobot cleaning up Detroit. He found he couldn't detect any Decepticons, not even himself. Panicking, he wondered if he was dead, but recovered when he realized he was still on Earth. Furious, he managed to track down Lugnut and Blitzwing and to follow them to the Decepticon base. There he challenged Megatron and was soundly sliced, blasted and thrown off a cliff. However, he again revived, except now he had no [[spark]]! Starscream discovered he was being kept alive by an AllSpark fragment embedded in his head. Using this newfound immortality to his advantage, he again attacked Megatron... and again and again and again, each time taking a trouncing and having his corpse thrown off a cliff by Blitzwing and Lugnut. Discovering another fragment, he set up a trap that would draw Megatron out and blow up both him and the city. He embedded the shard in a train engine, and as the overloading machine drew out Megatron, Blitzwing, the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] AND the Earth team, the plan seemed to be working. Unfortunately, the Autobots stopped the train, and Megatron knocked Starscream out of the sky, sending him crashing into the midst of the Autobots. He blasted [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] and took back his fragment, but was put into stasis lock when Optimus slipped [[Stasis cuffs|some cuffs]] on him. He was last seen bound, gagged and being taken onto the [[Steelhaven (Animated)|Elite Guard vessel]]. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}}

While in transit on said vessel, Starscream somehow blasted his way out, once again vowing revenge against Megatron. Magnus sent word to Optimus Prime, warning him that Starscream was most likely on his way back to Earth. Megatron, eavesdropping on the conversation, offered a substantial reward for bringing Starscream to him.

To this end, [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] ran off by himself to the resting place of the ''Nemesis'' on the Moon, where he ran right into Starscream. Despite getting in behind Prowl, Starscream was rather easily disabled and put in stasis cuffs. While [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] and Prowl battled, Starscream somehow managed to escape.

Lockdown and Prowl agreed to team up, and they tracked down an apparently very scared Starscream, who was captured easily. While Lockdown brought him to Megatron, another Starscream turned up. This Starscream tried to deal with the Autobots, suggesting they team up to deal with their common enemy, Megatron. Prowl disabled him with ease, despite making a total mess.

[[Image:Lotta starscreams.jpg|thumb|Megs is gonna have a field day.]]
Shortly after Lockdown delivered "Starscream" into the hands of Megatron, the Autobots showed with the other Starscream. Confusion ensued, and suddenly both Starscreams exposed internal bombs, and a recording of the real Starscream revealed that his entire plan was to allow the [[Starscream clone (Animated)|clones of himself]] to be captured and take out all his enemies in one fell swoop. In his infinite wisdom, however, he apparently programmed the bombs to explode long after everyone had realized what had happened. Prowl sent the clones into the sky, where they exploded without destroying the city.

Afterwards, Megatron increased the bounty on Starscream, this time stipulating that it had to be the ''real'' one. Watching, Starscream cursed Megatron (again) and dismissed his failure, noting he had plenty more clones—an army of them. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon}}

[[Image:Starscream with Shescream.jpg|thumb|left|Technically, she is my sister, and therefore unable to take me as her lover. After much soul searching, I have reluctantly decided, "What the hell", I just won't tell her.]]
His time alone allowed him to produce five clones of himself, which he empowered with small slivers of the AllSpark fragment in his head, giving them life. He quickly learned that each of the Starscreams was a different aspect of his personality: [[Skywarp (Animated)|cowardice]], [[Thundercracker (Animated)|ego]], [[Sunstorm (Animated)|sycophancy]], [[Ramjet (Animated)|deception]], and...[[Slipstream (Animated)|something else]]. He asked the female version of him where she came from, and she said not to ask. Once introductions were done, he ordered them on their merry way to Megatron's base. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}

[[Image:TFA ABTC1 Screamer Clones Emerge.jpg|thumb|There can be only one!]]
Upon reaching the base, the clone army attacked, leading to a free-for-all against Megatron's forces and the Autobots who'd assembled to stop the Decepticon leader's plan. During the fight, Starscream became fed up with his female clone telling him how to handle Megatron, as he'd been working on killing him long before she existed. She was unimpressed with his results to date. Eventually, his team overwhelmed Megatron, allowing two of the clones to subdue him while Starscream prepared to deal the killing blow. Starscream relished the moment, wryly assuring Megatron that he'd tell everyone that he died fighting valiantly—after naming Starscream as his successor. Abruptly, Starscream got head-jacked by [[Isaac Sumdac]] in a [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster]] unit.

Starscream's inert body fell on top of his head, which put him out of action. Panicking, he told his clones to attack, but was outraged when they all sided with Megatron instead. Starscream's head was then glued to one of the walls by [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]]'s concrete. When he tried to mock Megatron's plan for the conquest of Cybertron, he had his mouth closed by more concrete. Poor Screamer.

[[Image:TFA ABTC2 Megatron Screamer End.jpg|150px|left|thumb|So...Megatron..how've you been]]
When Megatron's newly activated [[Space bridge]] ran out of power to maintain the portal to Cybertron, Megatron replaced the AllSpark fragment with Starscream's head, which overloaded the power systems. This caused the portal to expand and attempt to suck everything around it into itself. This included Starscream's head and Megatron, the latter of whom was disabled by Autobot stasis cuffs, which prevented him from resisting the space bridge's pull. The overload also caused the space bridge receiving coordinates to be deleted, dumping the pair into empty space. Without a body to manoeuvre, Starscream was forced to look at Megatron, while Megatron, still disabled by the stasis cuffs, suffered a similar problem. A long night of bickering commenced. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

[[Image:TransWarpedStarscreamsScream.jpg|thumb|200px|How... literal. And disturbingly yonic.]]
Somehow, Starscream managed to manoeuvre his head to begin trying to free Megatron from his stasis cuffs, either by gnawing on them or by picking them with a fragment of asteroid in his mouth. Megatron berated Starscream for his incompetence, whereupon the indignant Decepticon pointed out that this would be much easier if Megatron had reattached his head to his body back on Earth, and that they wouldn't even be here if Megatron hadn't overloaded the Space Bridge. Fuelled with anger, Starscream screamed that this was all Megatron's fault, during which the fragment in his head lit up... and Starscream's face suddenly unfolded into a sonic blaster that smashed Megatron's cuffs.

This was evidently not something from Starscream's original design plans, as he could be heard asking where that had come from once it had fired. Megatron didn't care, though; all that mattered was that he was free now. Starscream was petrified when Omega Supreme chose that moment to float into view, trying to denounce Megatron in order to save his own hide. Fortunately for them both, Omega Supreme was currently offline, giving Megatron an idea. Though Starscream nearly gave the plan away when he was brought inside the awoken giant, Megatron succeeded in installing Starscream's head into the computer to be used as a combination of power source and control mechanism.

[[Image:TransWarpedDigitalStarscream.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Take me to ATARI!]]
Megatron used Omega Supreme to attack the Autobots on Earth, and during the battle, [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] infiltrated Omega, accessed his internal processor, and helped him fight off Megatron's control... only for Starscream to take over instead. He continued fighting the Autobots until Megatron suggested that they just go conquer Cybertron instead. Starscream agreed that it was a good idea, but failed to make Omega transwarp as the giant's old friend [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] swayed his control. Eventually overpowering Omega's mind, Starscream tried flying into space, only for Optimus Prime to plant a [[plasmadynamic thruster]] on his new body, causing it to start warping around randomly in outer space. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

At some point during Starscream and Megatron's warping adventures, Starscream stopped controlling Omega Supreme's body, again reduced to a sarcastic head. After one of the warp jumps, Lugnut suddenly smacked into their windshield and joined their merry group. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}} Removing the plasmadynamic thruster, they traveled into Cybertron airspace, even though Omega Supreme was offline and drained of energy. Starscream advocated that they abandon the hulk before the Autobots picked them off in their helpless state, but Megatron disagreed. After the Decepticon agent [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]] obtained Omega's activation codes, they picked him up and transwarped back to Earth's moon, where Starscream noted Lugnut's anger at Megatron complimenting Shockwave. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

[[Image:TFA-Endgame-MegatronFieldDay.jpg|thumb|Megs has his field day.]]
Goading Lugnut into fighting Shockwave, Starscream used the distraction to roll himself back to his old headquarters, the wrecked ''Nemesis'', where he used a [[protoform]] and one of his many clone bodies to get himself back to 100%. Megatron subsequently destroyed the rest of the lifeless clone bodies, before explaining to Starscream his ultimate plan—creating Decepticon clones of Omega Supreme. When the time came for these clones to imprint upon a leader, Starscream went for a power grab yet again, knocking Megatron down and taking his place. However, he was in turn tackled by the eternally loyal Lugnut, who ended up becoming the template of the three "[[Lugnut Supreme]]s". As Megatron explained that this had been his plan all along, Starscream retorted that the giants would just be lifeless shells without his AllSpark fragment.

[[Image:TFA-Endgame-StarscreamBits.jpg|thumb|left|"It’s incredible! I can feel, I can touch, I’m alive! I can fondle, I can fiddle! Phwooar! I am ali—"]]
Unfortunately for him, Megatron had found three other fragments in Omega Supreme's spark chamber, and deemed Starscream useless before blasting his lower body to smithereens with a fusion cannon shot and leaving him on the surface of the Moon. {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}}

But this did not destroy the tenacious traitor, and he painstakingly reattached himself to a reassembled lower torso before transforming and flying to Earth. There, he was distracted from his goal of taking revenge on Megatron by a sudden severe pain in his head, which pulled him to Sumdac Towers, where he found Jazz and Prowl using their Processor-Over-Matter skills to reassemble AllSpark fragments. Realising what a threat this posed to him, he opened fire on them in an effort to distract them, but failed. His fragment was torn from his head, and Starscream, his sparkless body no longer fueled by the AllSpark, fell from the air, finally dead.

[[Image:TFAni EndgamePart2 Screamer Offlined.jpg|thumb|The ''seventh'' time's the charm.]]
He did leave behind a nasty post-mortem surprise, however: Upon the disconnection of Lugnut from the [[Lugnut Supreme]]s, a hidden program kicked in, a message from Starscream revealing that each of the Omega clones had been secretly outfitted with a nasty set of concealed explosives, now primed and ready to detonate. Unfortunately for Starscream, his revenge would not come to be. Not only did Omega Supreme destroy one clone while deactivating its explosive, the other was encased in an AllSpark-powered force field and failed to destroy anything...not even Megatron, who took the full force of the blast (albeit he was heavily damaged). {{storylink|Endgame, Part II}}

Megatron kept uncovering Starscream's hide-outs, so Starscream took [[Starscream clone (Animated)|his clone army]] and seized control of the Autobots' own base, reasoning the Decepticons would never look for him ''there''. His plan was undone by the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]]. {{storylink|Dino-MIGHT!}}

He later acted as the backer for the supervillain [[Crossroads]], giving him a sliver of Megatron (no, it ''wasn't'' explained how he got it) that completed the man's robot-controlling gauntlets. Starscream didn't care that Crossroads was going to hurt robots, as long as he made sure to turn the city against the Autobots. Boo, hiss! {{storylink|Crossroads!}}

Later still, he appeared out of nowhere to hack into the [[Wraith-X]] stealth bomber and send it off to bomb Detroit to bits, seemingly just for shits and giggles. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Divebomb}} It turned out he'd been let back into the Decepticons for... some reason, joining their massed attack on the Autobot base. Of course, he used that as a way to ensure Megatron had an "accident", and then "saved him"; as a result, Megatron become stupid and believed he could be trusted with temporary command of the Decepticons... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Megatron's Revenge}}

===''The Cool'' comic===
Leading [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] and [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]], Starscream lead the Decepticons in an attack on [[Detroit]] against the Autobots. Clashing directly with [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]], Starscream's ultimate goal was to seize the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]]. {{storylink|The Cool issue 1|The Cool #1}}

[[Image:TheCoolStarscreamDeath01.jpg|200px|thumb|left|So was this supposed to be ''funny'' or ''horrifying''?]]

Starscream ultimately succeeded, snatching the AllSpark out of [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]]'s hands. He announced to the stunned Autobots that he had destroyed [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] with his own hands and would now use the power of the AllSpark to cull the weak from the universe. Optimus Prime had other ideas, however, and falling down from the sky in vehicle mode, transformed to robot mode and grabbed one side of the AllSpark. Refusing to let Starscream use its power for evil, Prime opened the AllSpark, unleashing all its energy. Starscream took the energy square to the face, apparently getting vaporized. {{storylink|The Cool issue 2|The Cool #2}}

Starscream survived the blast and was present fighting [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] at [[Sumdac Systems]] headquarters when Megatron was reborn. Annoyed, Starscream declared he'd make the most of it and attempted to brown-nose up to his old boss. Megatron was aware of his previous attempt to assassinate him, however, and promptly tore a hole through his torso, killing him. {{storylink|The Cool issue 5|The Cool #5}}

Having survived his apparent "death", Starscream proceeded to create a pair of clones ([[Clone number 3370318|Clone #3370318]] and [[Clone number 2716057|Clone #2716057]]), rigged them with explosives and devised a convoluted plot to use them to destroy Megatron. When the plan failed due to Autobot interference, Starscream registered his annoyance, but calmly promised that there was more to come from his [[Starscream clone (Animated)|Clone Army]]. {{storylink|The Cool issue 6|The Cool #6}}

More indeed, as Starscream lead his Clone Army into battle to seize the Decepticon [[Space Bridge]]. Starscream was shocked at the sight of Megatron and Optimus Prime fighting side by side against him, and was then infuriated when Megatron proceeded to regard his troops as little more than an annoyance and laughed at Starscream's aspirations of universal conquest.{{storylink|The Cool issue 7|The Cool #7}}

At some point, Starscream had his head severed by [[Isaac Sumdac|Professor Sumdac]] and a [[Headmaster unit]]. Clutching Starscream's whimpering noggin, Megatron proceeded to mock his ambitions of universal conquest, then ordered [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]] to install Starscream into the Space Bridge in order to power the device. Starscream screamed in horror as the Space Bridge activated, but the power of his [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] fragment proved too much and caused the Space Bridge to overload.{{storylink|The Cool issue 8|The Cool #8}}

Luckily, Starscream found himself warped through the Space Bridge to the same coordinates as [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] and Megatron. Unluckily, Megatron decided to power the deactivated Omega with Starscream's [[spark]]. ''Luckily'', this proved fortuitous, as the link allowed Starscream to sieze control of Omega's systems. Clutching and taunting Megatron, Starscream returned to Earth for revenge against the Autobots. Megatron and Optimus were forced to join forces to defeat him. Megatron plunged his sword into the main chip of Starscream's link system, then ordered Optimus to incinerate it. Optimus did so with the "[[Magnus Hammer|Magnus Hammer Thunder Attack]]", deactivating Omega Supreme. Optimus then ordered [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] to find whatever traces of Starscream were left in Omega and remove them. {{storylink|The Cool issue 9|The Cool #9}}

Starscream's head had landed in a pile of debris which, unfortunately for him, happened to be located right next to Megatron's missing fusion cannon. Plucking up the cannon and Starscream, Megatron powered his cannon with Starscream's head and AllSpark fragment, creating a blast powerful enough to blow Optimus Prime to pieces. Prime survived, however, and the AllSpark fragment leapt from Starscream's forehead and into Prime's hand, empowering him with awesome energy. The loss of the AllSpark fragment, however, killed Starscream. {{storylink|The Cool issue 10|The Cool #10}}

[[Image:TFAnimated Voyager Starscream toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|What? Decepticon sigil not upside down? HERESY! HERESYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!]]
*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TA-07'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

: Starscream transforms into a futuristic, forward-swept wing jet fighter based upon the [http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/s37/ Su-47 (S-37) Berkut Experimental Fighter] and the [http://www.mahq.net/MECHA/macross/plus/yf-19.htm YF-19 "Alpha One"] from the series ''[[wikipedia:Macross_Plus|Macross Plus]]''.

: His twin "sonic shock blaster" spring-loaded missile launchers can slide forward, opening panels on his forearms (referred to as blasters on the packaging). Landing gear in his vehicle mode flip down from his undercarriage, and his blasters flip forward or back for a "hidden" attack. He also features two [[automorph]] gimmicks. When his nose cone is pushed in, his undercarriage folds into his hips. Folding his shoulders down also pushes up his head. Though not really an "automorph", with the arms and legs out of the way, his spring loaded wings fold down by themselves. His arms are also ''just'' poseable enough to stroke that enormous chin.

:His missiles have tiny shark faces molded into them.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] release of the figure uses a bright shade of blue for both wings and canopy.

:As with [[Seeker (body-type)|past incarnations]], Starscream was [[Redeco|redecoed]] as [[Skywarp (Animated)|''Animated'' Skywarp]], [[Sunstorm (Animated)|''Animated'' Sunstorm]], and [[Thundercracker (Animated)|''Animated'' Thundercracker]].

*'''Starscream''' (Activators, 2008)

: A smaller, simpler version of Starscream, the Activators Starscream toy has a spring-loaded autotransform gimmick that springs him from Harrier jet mode to robot mode in one easy step, although robot to Harrier jet mode is still that good old manual click-it-up yourself transformation, giving you the best of both worlds.

: Activators Starscream greatly resembles Voyager Starscream, especially when compared to several other Activators and their respective larger toys, with the only discernible difference between Activators and Voyager Starscream is that Activator Starscream's wings sit lower on his back. Most notably, this toy possesses more show-accurate weapons than its Voyager counterpart, due to the lack of a launching mechanism.

: This mold was also used to make ''Animated'' [[Thundercracker (Animated)|Thundercracker]], [[Dirge (Animated)|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (Animated)|Ramjet]] and [[Skywarp (Animated)|Skywarp]].

*'''Starscream''' (McDonald's Happy Meal Toy, 2008)

:A simple version of Starscream with a very simple transformation sequence. A tad unique among the McDonald's ''Animated'' toys, he has given up a toy accurate vehicle mode for a toy accurate robot mode. You transform him by splitting the front of the jet to form the legs, snapping up the feet, lowering the rear wings and rotating his head. His robot mode, save for the fact the wings are pointing the wrong direction and that he is missing his guns, is decently [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]], but his vehicle mode totally sucks. Plain and simple.

:This mold was also used to make [[Thundercracker (Animated)|Thundercracker]] Clear Blue Version, [[Skywarp (Animated)|Skywarp]] Clear Purple Version, [[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sunstorm]] Clear Orange Version, [[Ramjet (Animated)|Ramjet]] Clear White Version, and [[Starscream Clone Black Version]]

*'''Starscream Clear Purple Version''' (EZ Collection, 2010)

:A redeco of Legends Starscream in mostly translucent purple with some parts, such as his wings, in opaque lavender. He was only available at Jusco stores in Japan (but not at ones in their [[wikipedia:Ryukyu Islands|Ryukyu]] branch), given away for free to customers who purchased Voyager-class [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] or [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]].

:A redeco of Legends Starscream in mostly translucent purple with opaque purple parts, such as his wings. He was given away at Family Mart stores in Japan as part of their raffle token promotion. Unlike Starscream Clear Purple Version, he is painted to resemble his normal coloration, only clear. He was prize D, of 1 of 4 different types of translucent EZ Collection figures, the other three being Optimus Prime, Prowl, and Bumblebee.

===Universe (2008)===
[[Image:Universe2008-toy LegendsAniStarscream.JPG|right|250px|thumb|And yet, his ego remains as big as ever.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legends, 2008)

:Legends-class Starscream transforms surprisingly similarly to his larger counterparts. He is notable for being the only version of the character to have his weapons mounted correctly on his upper arms, rather than his lower arms (though this is largely because he completely lacks elbows). However, as with his past versions, he is again not gray, but apparently a shade of blue.

:This figure was redecoed in the Animated line, in a Target exclusive [[Starscream (Animated)#RescueRatchet|three-pack]] with Rescue Ratchet and Prowl.

{{--}}

==Notes==
*In a podcasted audio interview, [[Marty Isenberg]] revealed that he originally wanted to play Starscream's name ironically — he wanted the character to have a quiet, whispery tone, as he '''really''' didn't like the screechy voice of [[Starscream (G1)|the original Starscream]] (though, at the same time, he pointed out that he has nothing against [[Chris Latta|his actor]]). [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] argued against this idea, and Tom Kenny's reading finally won Marty over.
* Though he never ''truly'' took out Megatron, this Starscream may be the most successful to bear the name to date.
* There is some confusion as to precisely what weapons Starscream has. According to the Decepticon character descriptions sent out in the initial [[Cartoon Network]] press release for ''Transformers Animated'', Starscream "can affect a sonic scream and produce powerful blasts of sound that can send enemies spinning through the atmosphere". His toy packaging declares that he has "twin sonic shock blasters" rather than the [[null-ray]]s of his Generation 1 counterpart, while a bio on the [[Hasbro]] website declares that ''Animated'' Starscream '''does''' have null-rays... while otherwise being a direct copy of the press release text, which doesn't mention them anywhere. What is unquestionably Starscream's "sonic scream" appears in the third season episode "TransWarped", apparently a modification created by the AllSpark fragment in his head. Similarly, in the same episode, Blurr tells [[Skywarp (Animated)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (Animated)|Thundercracker]] to use alternating sonic pulses to destabilise the concrete the trio are trapped in. This could point to Starscream's arm-mounted cannons being sonic shock blasters, as he was addressing Skywarp, but also could be a reference to Generation 1 [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and his ability to create sonic booms.
*Several times in the series, Starscream's alt-mode is called a "harrier jet". In the real world, this term actually refers to just one specific jet type--the [[United Kingdom|British]]-designed V/STOL-capable [[wikipedia:Harrier_Jump_Jet|Harrier Jump Jet]]--which very clearly is not Starscream's altmode. Then again, the series is set about 100 years in the future, so perhaps the jet designs or terminology could have changed.
*Originally, Starscream was to be revived once again near the end of "[[Endgame, Part II]]", courtesy of [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]] and another AllSpark fragment. This scene was cut for time, but was shown in ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' in storyboard format.

{{disambig3|Arcee}}
{{factions|autobotfilm|NEST}}

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Arceemovie.jpg|right|250px|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]
Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, '''Arcee''' compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots around. Moreover, Arcee is a born hunter. She honed her speed hunting [[Turbofox|turbofoxes]] with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. She's a crack shot with said crossbow weapon, and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared. She is the sister of [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]].

The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends and comrades, but most importantly in her own. She also carries a standing feud with [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] for [[The Thrill of the Hunt|unknown reasons]].<ref name="battlebio">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Arcee Battle Bio]</ref>

==Fiction==
===IDW pre-movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance1_Arcee_vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"I transform into a vacuum cleaner!"]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Arcee lived in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] with her sister Chromia, while their eldest sibling, Elita-One, become a follower of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

Years later, Arcee was a member of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]'s [[Science Division]], in charge of [[excavation site LT34]] near the [[Simfur Temple|temple]] of [[Simfur]]. While Optimus was showing Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] around, her team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, with Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus's thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

Ratchet, Arcee and Elita-One returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported finding a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus's head. [[Image:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Can I say something?" "Whatever it is, now is not the right time!"]] Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl's]] initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. She was under the command of Bumblebee and desperately fought against Megatron's vast army at [[Tyger Pax]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle: They were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the [[AllSpark]] for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, which prevented the Decepticon from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

Arcee was on [[Earth]] for a short time at the beginning of the conflict there, presumably arriving shortly after Bumblebee in the early part of the 21st Century. {{storylink|#2007dlx|Arcee's bio}} When the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, she was reassigned to the [[Charii system]], where her stealth skills would be of more use fighting against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. {{storylink|#Robovision|Arcee's Robovision bio}}

[[Image:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|right|thumb|She's pissed off that she hasn't got her cool live-action design.]]
Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her [[Alternate mode|altmode]] in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her robot mode always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode. Once you earn her trust, she's [[Rick Astley|never going to let you down]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}

{{notetitantlg}}

Following the Decepticon triumph in the battle of Mission City, Arcee was a member of a small group of reinforcements summoned to Earth by the remaining Autobots on the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to await contact from Earth, they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], but the quick-thinking Arcee took command and rallied the troops. When this still failed to work, she ordered them to Earth (following [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm's]] initiative) and their prearranged targets. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Joining up with the Earth-bound Autobots, Arcee refused to accept defeat, and helped [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] defend [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] while he destroyed the AllSpark, foiling the Decepticons' plan to cyberform Earth using its power. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in an ambush staged by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

[[Image:Titan22 Arcee.jpg|left|200px|thumb|''That's'' better!]]

Later, after serving with Bumblebee in protecting an Alaskan pipeline, among other engagements to protect the American infrastructure,{{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} Arcee was part of Ironhide's team in retrieving [[Nucleon]] from Cybertron, which ran afoul of [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} She acted as Bumblebee's distraction, drawing [[Storm Surge (Movie)|Storm Surge]] and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] away, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} and doubled back to regroup with Ironhide (and pull him out of rubble) when [[Unicron]] arrived. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Later, she got Optimus Prime up to speed on the situation. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hittting the [[Decepticon Heartland]]. She started off the 'tagging' of Decepticons to teleport them away from Earth, getting [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] in the back and looking very happy about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

{{Note|Arcee was also the host of a "Lonely Hearts" letter column in the comic's [[letters page]]. Really!}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|right|150px|thumb|She's so happy to be home, she doesn't even care that Payload's looking up her dress.]]

Following the Autobots' victory in Mission City, which culminated in the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Two}} While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could take out [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight... through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of Trypticon as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica AllSpark]], despite her sister Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[Image:TalesoftheFallen6-Arceeprotoforms.jpg|left|thumb|250px|The best part of waking up is ... still being in your own body.]]

Some time later, a ship carrying Arcee and her crew was shot down over an unidentified planet, and when Arcee managed to escape the wreckage, she saw that the culprit was her old nemesis, Thundercracker. She blacked out, and an indeterminate amount of time later, she awoke on an operating table—or rather, next to her old body on an operating table. Her [[spark]] had been transplanted into a new body by the Decepticon mad scientist [[Flatline]], as part of a twisted plan to create a new breed of tripartate soldier by using her spark to reignite those of her deceased sisters, Elita-One and Chromia. Flatline had not considered Arcee's strong will, however, and her original programming persisted. She broke free and escaped with two of Flatline's other experiment victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], but was surprised to learn that Flatline's experiment had worked: her sisters lived again in two bodies similar to her own new form, but now, they were connected at the spark, sharing the thoughts, feelings and memories of one another, thinking with one mind yet still retaining a degree of autonomy and recollection of their previous selves. [[Image:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|right|thumb|250px|WASSSS A MAAANNN (now three man)]] The united sisters defeated Flatline, and with the Twins, headed for the exit, but Thundercracker and some Decepticon drones blocked them. Thundercracker laughed, since Arcee hadn't fared too well the last time they tangled, but... that was then. Thundercracker was easily bested by the new and improved Arcee, and escaped while Flatline's headquarters detonated by remote. Arcee wondered whether her weird new existence was a mistake, or if she was merely destined for greater things. Regardless, she refused to become bent on revenge against Thundercracker for the deaths of her crew, so she and the Twins made plans to join the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, Arcee and her sisters, along with the twins and [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]], arrived on Earth in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime. Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as "we". Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job!

She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.
[[Image:Titan2-8_dronesurrender.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Geez, this just getting ''confusing''.]]
With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

She later decided it'd be fun to switch back to her older, single-form body! Her old body got a good workout when she was part of the strike team on the Decepticon's [[Mars (planet)|Phobos]] base. After a brief but violent battle, the [[Purple generic drones|drone hordes]] surrendered to her and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

[[Image:Arcee-ROTFshoot.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Why couldn't she be the other kind of motormaid, with the motorcycle part on top and motormaid part on the bottom?"]]

{{note|The film goes into no detail on whether or not Arcee is one entity, or three separate beings. See [[#Notes|Notes]] at the bottom of this article for a thorough dissection; for the purposes of this section, all three bike-bots are collectively referred to as "Arcee".}}

Arcee was held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, Arcee pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in her way, but ultimately, none of her three components were able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and he quickly put the Decepticon down.

[[Image:Arcee-ROTFthreebikes.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The [[Chromia (ROTF)|blue one]] likes to sit next to [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] for some reason.]]

While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hanger at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after Optimus Prime died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.
[[Image:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]
NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, two of her bodies were shot down by [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|enemy forces]], with only the blue component remaining operational when last seen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Arcee and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them.

The battle aggravated the wounds Arcee had taken in Egypt the previous year, however, and she was brought back to Diego Garcia for medical attention courtesy of Ratchet. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

{{anchor|Robovision}}
[[Image:Arceemoviescout.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Not Chrom- Well, maybe I am!]]
*'''Arcee''' (Target exclusive Scout Class, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Launcher, missile, scope, 2 tailpipes, "energon" star

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks and most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg on either arm, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey "arrow" missile.

:Arcee (and the rest of the Scout wave) were [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Arcee came with a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]] which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code ("BULLSEYE") printed on her cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content, a concept similar to the online [[Cyber Planet Key]] info from the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]].

: This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' set's [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar]], [[Flareup (Timelines)|Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive [[Movie (toyline)|movieverse]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]].

====Deluxe Class toys====
{{anchor|2007dlx}}
[[Image:Movie Deluxe Arcee toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Pretty in...purple?]]
*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[Tampograph|tampographed]] on her vehicle mode, such as her motorcycle's model name, "RC 1100", and her Massachusetts license plate marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in robot mode is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

[[Image:Movietoy-Arceebattledamaged.jpg|right|thumb|300px|She's a dirty girl.]]
*'''Battle damage three-pack''' (Sam's Club exclusive three-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile

: A three-pack, exclusive to Sam's Club stores, consisting of redecos of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] and Deluxe Class Arcee, both with battle damage deco, and an unchanged Voyager Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|Starscream]].

: This version of Arcee later was sold at Asia online retailers and in European retail stores in the same packaging as the first release of Arcee. The packaging did not indicate any of the changes made to the figure, apart from a sticker on the bubble exclaiming "Exclusive! Battle-damage!".

*'''Black Arcee''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile, AllSpark cube

: This Japan-only [[redeco]] of Deluxe Class Arcee is cast in black in an attempt to match the look of the motorcycle [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] rides near the end of the film. Surprisingly, it is not [[Black repaint|evil]].

: Like all Japanese "[[AllSpark Power]]" toys, black Arcee comes with a small AllSpark cube accessory.

[[Image:Movie Arcee Wonder Festival G1 redeco.jpg|thumb|300px|...and here I am!]]
*'''Arcee Limited Special Color Version''' (Deluxe-sized toy, 2008)

:This Arcee is decoed in pink and white, in homage to Generation 1 [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], and was exclusive to the Wonder Festival 2008 Winter in Tokyo, Japan.

*'''Arcee''' (Legends, 2010)

:Legends Arcee is a pink and black motorcycle that transforms into a pink and black robot. Black chunks are strategically placed on her two wheels so she can stand up in robot mode. There's an odd jointed piece behind her rear wheel that has a [[Powerlinx]]-like hardpoint that serves no advertised purpose (maybe a combined form like the deluxes).

{{-}}

====Deluxe class toys====
[[Image:ROTF_Deluxe_Chromia.jpg|thumb|300px|Hey, I'm Arcee too, sometimes! Well, actually most times.]]
*'''Chromia''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, display stand

:[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] converts from a [[wikipedia:Suzuki B-King|Suzuki B-King]] to... a unicycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank threads on the botom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.
{{-}}

[[Image:ROTF_Deluxe_Arcee_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|Help! I have scoliosis, and I can't stand on my own.]]
*'''Arcee''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-23'''
**''Accessories:'' Side-car/display stand

:Deluxe class ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Arcee converts from a [[wikipedia:Ducati 848|Ducati 848]] to a robot mode that can look quite awkward if not properly aligned. The figure has a side-car which can become a Dual Sniper Pistol<ref name="battlebio"/> or a display stand. In robot mode, she is equipped with a small cannon on her right wrist that can deploy a spring-loaded energy blade. Small [[Cyberglyphics]] inscriptions are molded onto the surface of the blade.

:Her [[Mech Alive]] feature is located not in her elbow, as the packaging would suggest, but instead in her chest; tilting her neck up and down causes a pair of exposed gears to turn.
{{-}}

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:ROTF-toy_FAB_CyberPursuitArcee.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Cyber Pursuit Arcee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Exhaust/Missile

:A simplified version of ROTF Arcee targeted at the 5 and under demographic. The general paint application is similar to the deluxe version. Besides a working kickstand and free spinning wheels, her gimmicks include the ability to fire her dual exhaust as a single missile both in figure and vehicle mode and a fully working suspension in robot mode. Ironically, due to the transformation locking both wheels in place, the working suspension is not available in vehicle mode. This version does away with the sidecar/stand in favor of a built-in, fully retractable stand. Articulation is limited but better than most figures in the FAB class.

:Due to the design of the shoulder joints and the nature of the transformation, going from robot to vehicle mode can be frustrating.

====Human Alliance====
[[Image:ROTFtoy-ArceeHumanAlliance.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I'm the red bike, but I transform into the blue bike's robot, but with the red bike's colors - look, women are complicated, okay?]]
*'''Autobot Skids / Arcee / Mikaela Banes''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-25'''

:This figure, which is somewhere in between [[Legends Class|Legends]] and [[size class|Scout Class]] size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee's Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia 125 [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] is riding at one point in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it ''is'' meant to resemble Mikaela's bike, and they called it "Arcee" so kids wouldn't be confused by two separate red/pink bikes. <ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref>
:Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less [[articulation]] than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.
:The face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn't resemble ROTF Arcee's movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]].
{{-}}

[[Image:Humanalliancechromiatoy.jpg|right|thumb|280px|Red repaint in 3... 2... 1...]]
*'''Mudflap / Chromia / Seymour Simmons''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

:Aside from the colour scheme, this "Chromia" is clearly meant to be Arcee as it has the main component's robot mode, and its vehicle mode is closer to Arcee's than either the motorcycle included with Human Alliance Skids or the Deluxe Chromia. Its higher level of movie-accuracy includes a much better head sculpt, and although its left arm is also cast in one piece, the extra articulation in the shoulders, waist and hips makes the figure more posable than the other HA motorcycle.

:The transformation is surprisingly complex and fiddly for a figure this size, not far removed from a scaled-down Deluxe Arcee, although this one has a piece than the wheels can stand on to support them or be rotated behind to prop the figure up with some care. The kickstand is too short to hold the bike upright in vehicle mode, although this is easily fixed by gluing a small piece of black plastic to its base to lengthen it.

The set furthermore includes a redeco of Deluxe class [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], whose painted battle damage evokes the scene in the film where he's been cut in half. Ouchies.

:Part of the third wave of ''Robot Heroes'' two-packs for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] comes packaged versus [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Her robot mode design is actually [[Elita-1 (ROTF)|Elita-1]]'s, since Hasbro can't tell their bike chicks apart.

==Notes==
[[Image:Movie scale chart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|In the time before time...]]
* As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9' (2.7m). However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).

* Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[http://movies.ign.com/articles/801/801098p3.html Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so in ROTF.

* In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited "scale issues" as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]</ref>

* It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]</ref>

* Arcee came ''this'' close to being killed off in ''[[The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.

[[Image:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|thumb|250px|So apparently Chromia and Elita-1 were green and silver at some point? Okay.]]

* It's not especially clear whether ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee is one consciousness controlling three bodies, or three separate individuals. Writer [[Roberto Orci]] explained that she was written as a singular entity, but that [[Michael Bay]] "kept them as individuals", <ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]</ref> but if this was Bay's intention, it does not particularly come across in the movie (as the character(s) do(es) not really do ''anything''), beyond perhaps Arcee referring to her components in the plural form in one instance. The novelization of the film adheres to the script's intent, describing Arcee as a "[[tripartite Cybertronian]]", while the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline chose instead to identify Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterize the other two as the separate characters [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-1 (ROTF)|Elita-1]].
**IDW Publishing's ''[[Tales of the Fallen]]'' mini-series, complimented a few years later by ''[[Rising Storm]]'' ultimately went to some lengths to marry the two concepts, depicting Arcee, Elita-1 and Chromia as a trio of robots animated by one spark, sharing thoughts and feelings but still possessing some degree of autonomy from one another.
**[[Titan Books|Titan's]] comics, on the other hand, depicted Arcee as having three bodies in their comic strips (sometimes even forgetting about ''that'' and drawing her in her original first movie toyline body), only to have their letters pages makes the contradictory claims that a) they ''were'' seperate robots who aren't related and Arcee's just the only one namechecke, ad b) that ''nobody knows'' and that it depends "on who you ask".

*The [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen'''s other motorbike Autobot [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] seems to refer to Arcee's change in form between the first and second movie toylines, claiming that he wants to undergo the new "combiner retrofit" he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process. The absence of Arcee's combined mode from the film and IDW's own later explanation for her change in form kinda screwed this, though.

[[Image:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|thumb|250px|SIX! SIX BIKE GIRLS! ah ha ha ha *sob*]]

*It was originally intended that the three individual "Arcees" would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but Michael Bay chose to drop the idea for fear of the confusion it would cause given how much else was already going on in the film. <ref>[http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Q&A session with ILM effects supervisor Scott Farrar at Siggraph 2009]</ref>. The idea evidently remained until comparatively late in production; both an unknown designer (see above right) and [[Steve Jung]] [http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=1 created a model] for the combined robot, and it appears in the film's novelization, and the animatic for the Shangai battle scene included on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD. A vestigial reference to the combination even exists in the finished Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 toys in the form of a fold-out tab on each that allows them to link up back-to-back. With the relegation of Elita to a simple redeco of Chromia, however, no true combination appears capable with the figures, despite claims made by Hasbro that instructions for doing so would be made available online.

*The animatics of the Shanghai battle scene included on the ROTF DVD serve to '''make Arcee more confusing'''. The "Lamborghini Jump" animatic depicts a trio of three female motorcycle Transformers (two red, one either silver or black) chasing Sideways, similar to the scene with Arcee and her compatriots as it appears in the final film. However, as the animatic continues, at least two of the bike-girls jump on Sideways in mid-pursuit, who he manages to throw off and into a building by swerving. Sideways is then confronted by ''another'' trio of bikes (pink, yellow and blue), who merge into a single robot and flip towards him, only to inexplicably disappear immediately afterwards. What the ''hell?''

* For some reason, Arcee's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body is flipped horizontally between the toy and her actual appearance in the film, with her gun and motorcycle-mode fairing appearing on opposite sides in each representation.
