[[Image:ArceeEn-jcard.jpg|right|275px|thumb|Yes, she is a girl.]]
A headstrong and feisty [[Omnicon]], '''Arcee''' is eager to prove she’s as capable a warrior as any other Autobot. She can manipulate and refine raw [[Energon (Energon)|energon]] easily; her mastery of the Energon Bow is almost legendary. Unlike other Omnicons, there are not lots of her.

After spending years mining [[Energon (Energon)|energon]] in the desolate depths of space, the Omnicon race needed a rallying point to keep them motivated and focused on their work. Thus it was that through the power of energon, one Omnicon evolved into the feminine Arcee to serve as an icon and idol for the Omnicons to which they could dedicate themselves.

{{note|The general ineptitude of the ''Energon'' dub meant that very little of this inept backstory was intelligently conveyed in the English-language version of the show.}}
Exactly what the heck Arcee got up to in the intervening years is unknown, as she didn't join up with the Autobots and mine energon for them in [[Earth]]'s solar system, like all her fellow Omnicons. In 2020, however, when an energon-deprived [[Unicron]] began attacking all the intruders that were currently occupying his dormant body, [[Primus]] summoned Arcee and sent her to reinforce the Autobots. She served to rally the Omnicon forces and provide [[Kicker Jones]] with rapid, agile transportation through the dangerous interiors of Unicron. After she and Kicker managed to breach his defenses, the Omnicons provided Unicron's core with [[Energon star|Energon stars]], calming down the dormant Chaos Bringer's violent tendencies.

All the [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] and [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]] Omnicons harbour a crush on her, which makes it all the easier for her to boss them around.

No, really.

Later, irritated to discover she and [[Misha Miramond]] had been left in the dark about the [[Autobot Grand Prix]], Arcee entered with Misha as her rider and won the whole '''she'''-bang while the boys fooled around with the manly manliness of their grunting, long significant glances, and groping. {{storylink|Crash Course}}

{{note|Since this was a Transformer competition, the trophy presumably went to Arcee, not Misha.}}

====''Timelines''====
Ten years later, when the [[Unicron Singularity]] forced the evacuation of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Arcee and a number of Autobot leaders were summoned to the ''[[Iron Hope]]'', where [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]] dispatched them across the galaxy to locate the lost Autobot colony worlds. Arcee was given command of the ''[[Azusa]]'' and sent to [[Gamma Serpentis]]. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}

====''Alternity''====

[[Image:ProtectorE7.jpg|left|thumb|Her new look is truly truly truly outrageous]]

Over the following years, Arcee changed her body-design several different times. For her seventh body, she chose a [[synthoid]] form, and took the name '''Elita Seven'''. By the time she had taken on this form, she had been inducted into the ranks of the [[Protector]]s, the elite team of agents who travel space and time in service of the hyper-dimensional race of evolved Autobots known as the [[Alternity (species)|Alternity]].

[[Image:ProtectorE7_bike.jpg|right|100px|thumb|[[Michael Bay|He]]'s at it again...]]

While observing a battle between Alternity member [[Nemesis Prime (Universe 2003)|Nemesis Prime]] and one of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[auto-avatar]]s, Elita Seven waited for the aftermath and chastised Nemesis Prime for fighting dirty. Nemesis Prime took exception to her calling him a "deity" and insisted she call him "Knight of Darkness." She retorted that even if he was a deity she wasn't going to pander to him like that. {{storylink|Arch-Nemesis!}}

{{note|Elita Seven specifically hails from the Japanese version of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] cartoon continuity.}}

===''Energon'' comic===
Arcee and her fellow Omnicons are upgraded [[Mini-Con]]s who were sent by [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] to assist [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] in repelling the [[Four Horsemen of Unicron]]. They then went to [[Earth]] to stop [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and his [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] in Australia.

Proving to be a bit too out of control to base near human cities, they were sent to the site of a new energon well in the Yukon. While blowing off some steam, they were captured by [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]] who attempted to rewrite their programming to turn them into [[Decepticon]]s. Subconsciously guided by the snarky, floating, advice-giving head of Over-Run, they managed to break free by combining their powers. More teamwork led to Snow Cat's defeat and a better understanding of their abilities. {{storylink|Omni-Potent}}

On a mission with [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] to the Black Sea in Turkey to locate a new energon well underwater, they were attacked by [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]] (who had previously butted heads with them as Tidal Wave), [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]] and [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]], who were attempting to capture the energon-empathic human. Though the Omnicons were beaten down, Kicker’s powers revitalized the team and allowed them to force the Decepticons to retreat. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}}

*'''Arcee''' (Basic, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SC-16'''
**''Accessories'': 2 tailpipes, scope, launcher, missile, Autobot "Energon Chip"

: Arcee transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do; her Energon Bow instead mounts on a peg in her arms, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a gray missile "arrow". As she is an Omnicon, her clear-red Energon Bow can be used by other toys. She also has an [[energon star|energon chip]] that can be attached to the [[spark crystal]] on most ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]''-series toys.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version of this toy uses a much brighter, more feminine pink paint than the [[Hasbro]] version.

: This mold was also retooled into ''[[Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] and [[Flareup (Timelines)|Flareup]], and redecoed into [[Flamewar]] and the [[Movie (toyline)|live-action-movie-universe]] versions of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]].

: Part of the (permanently "on-hiatus") second series of ''Transformers [[Attacktix]]'', Arcee is a "Rare" 20-point "Leader"-class piece. Arcee fires a standard ''Attacktix'' missile. She has a surprisingly high speed for a "blaster" type unit. Her Special Power, "Rescue", does something, but we don't know what yet, and at this rate, probably never will.

==Notes==
[[Image:ProtectorE7_hotrodsigil.jpg|right|150px|thumb]]

* Arcee's ''Energon'' show model is the base for the [[Autobot nurse]] model as well as a couple of other generic female Autobots.

* The French version of Arcee is dubbed by a man. Nobody could tell the difference, and it's not like it's [[The Transformers: The Movie|the first time]] they've got genders wrong.

*In her Elita Seven body, Arcee's jumpsuit and the three shades of pink it uses match [[Elita One|Generation 1 Elita One]]'s body almost exactly, just as the odd shape of her pink hair and the position of her white barette emulate the shape of Elita's helmet. Additionally, the motorcycle she rides strongly resembles [[Elita-One (Movie)|movie Elita-One]], albeit with a brighter red-and-pink color scheme. Oddly, since Elita-One shares a mold with Arcee, she's essentially riding... herself?!
*Elita Seven's jacket bears an insignia of a [[Rodimus (disambiguation)|Rodimus-like]] face, apparently in homage to her connection to ''Energon'' Rodimus's crew.

:''The ''Twilight'' is an [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian]] starship from the [[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Twilight.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Was the stinger tail really necessary?]]

The '''''Twilight''''' is the flagship and home to [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], the [[Liege Centuro]] of the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. Though it's said to [[Furmanism|hover like a vast, predatory bird]], it actually looks a lot more like a scorpion. Pick a menacing animal and stick to it, ''Twilight''.

The ''Twilight'' is crewed by [[Rook (G2)|Rook]] and legions of later generation Decepticons.

It has nothing to do with vampires.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 2====
The ''Twilight'' was billions of lightyears from the Milky Way galaxy traveling through the [[K-Tor Cluster]] when Rook reported to Liege Centuro Jhiaxus that the exo-structuring party on Outpost B-67 had been attacked and destroyed by Autobots. The ''Twilight'' flew Jhiaxus' forces to one of the eco-structured worlds when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and other Autobots were investigating. The ship opened fire on the planet. Overwhelmed by the barrage, the Autobots were taken captive without much resistance and faced Jhiaxus, who informed them that he was remaking all inhabited worlds in the universe in the image of Cybertron. Prime and Grimlock broke out of their cell, freed the other Autobots, raided the ''Twilight'' armory and stole away on shuttles from its hanger. {{storylink|War Without End!}}

Later, after a vicious battle with the Autobots revealed the existence of a rage-inducing parasite, Jhiaxus ordered his crew to use the ''Twilight's'' weapons to destroy the parasite. {{storylink|Primal Fear!}}

Grimlock took a complement of Autobots to clandestinely invade the ''Twilight'' using a stolen maintenance scow named [[Kiro]]. Unfortunately, Jhiaxus saw through the deception and took Grimlock's crew by force, killing [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] in the process. {{storylink|Devices and Desires! (Marvel)|Devices and Desires!}}

Above [[Earth]], Jhiaxus ordered the ''Twilight'' into battle against the [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]-possessed [[Warworld]], ignoring a subordinate's suggestion to retreat. When Optimus Prime contacted the ship to warn Jhiaxus of the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]] threat, the Liege Centuro responded by firing the ''Twilight's'' weapons randomly on the surface of Earth. The first barrage completely destroyed [[San Francisco]]. Under the influence of the [[Creation Matrix]], Starscream turned the Warworld's weapons against the ''Twilight'' in order to save the planet. {{storylink|Dark Shadows!}}

The ''Twilight'' met its demise when it and Jhiaxus were consumed by the Swarm. {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!}}
