	*Optimus's ~~description~~ of Arcee ~~may seem a bit silly and over-the-top in ''Energon''...but it's nothing compared to his original description~~ in ''Super Link'', ~~where he essentially describes Arcee~~ as a ~~fragile~~ and ~~perhaps erratic thing~~ to ~~be protected~~, as ~~well~~ as ~~something to relieve~~ the ~~Omnicons' loneliness~~.		*Optimus's characterisation of Arcee in ''Super Link'' is very, very gendered, describing her in idol culture-esque terms as a woman who is "sometimes kind, sometimes encouraging and sometimes weak" in order to motivate the Omnicon menfolk, whereas the dub goes focuses much more on her leadership capabilities (even as Optimus makes a crack about her being the species' "other half"!). This description comes off as a bit odd, as just like in the localisation she is introduced by barking orders at her subordinates without issue.

	Arcee rallies the troops and introduces herself to Kicker. She orders him aboard as she transforms back to motorcycle mode and rides off.
