Editing Arcee (section)

==Unicron Trilogy==

===Transformers: Armada===
The first reuse of the name Arcee was in Japan. In 2003, the name Arcee was given to the Mini-Con known in America as [[Sureshock]] (leading to some debate on the Mini-Con's gender - the Dreamwave Comics would later identify Sureshock as female, but the tech specs for ''Transformers: Cybertron'' Sureshock would refer to it as male). Sureshock was even repainted in pink and white colors in Japan as ''X-Dimension Arcee''.

In ''[[Transformers: Energon]]'', Arcee had a wide-release original mold made in homage to the original character. In the ''Energon'' storyline, the character Arcee was a female Omnicon who transformed into a motorcycle and used an energon crossbow. She was created to be a leader for the Omnicons and, as such, was the only Omnicon to have a unique name and body-type. In Japan the toy and character were named '''Ariel''', a name used by the female transformer who was the "girlfriend" of [[Orion Pax]] in the original series's episode "War Dawn"; this Ariel would later become Elita One.

In the original Japanese series ''Superlink'', it is said Ariel took the form of a woman as a symbol of care, who protects all soldiers.

===Animated series===
This incarnation of Arcee was a member of the Omnicons, a race and faction of [[robots]] exclusive to this fictional universe of [[Transformers (fiction)|Transformers]]. Larger than [[Mini-Con]]s, they can carry passengers and process raw energon to create tools, weapons, or energon stars. Omnicons were a main group of characters ''[[Transformers: Energon]]'' series allied with the [[Autobots]]. They were opposition of to the Decepticon allied [[Terrorcon]]s.

While Omnicons were formerly [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, these two sides set aside their differences and left Cybertron with [[Rodimus|Team Rodimus]]. The Omnicons eventually began working together to mine Energon, the energy-rich mineral needed to power Transformers and their technology. Invaluable to the Transformers because of their unique ability to handle, shape and process raw energon, which is damaging to normal Transformers, the Omnicons created the Cybertron cities as only they can. There are three distinct body types shared among the Omnicon ranks, but unlike the Terrorcons, each Omnicon possesses an individual mind of his own.

Additionally, there is one other Omnicon body-type - that of the unique Omnicon leader, Arcee. Transforming into a motorcycle and wielding an Energon crossbow, she arrived in the middle of [[Megatron]]'s attack on Cybertron, guiding the Omnicon forces into subduing [[Unicron]]'s hunger. She was soon frequently partnered with [[Kicker (Transformers)|Kicker]] on the battlefield.

All of the Omnicon toys, including Arcee, were redecoed and released as Target store exclusives for the 2007 Transformers movie. The new colors are designed to look more like a real vehicle would be painted, in keeping with the theme of the movie.

===Dreamwave Productions===
Arcee also appeared in the [[Dreamwave Productions]] ''Transformers: Energon'' comics, as one of the four Omnicons watched over by the [[Mini-Con]] Over-Run.

Arcee would first appear in issue #19, being introduced to [[Optimus Prime (Unicron Trilogy)|Optimus Prime]] by Over-Run as the first of the new species—the Omnicons. Subsequently, assigned to Earth for training, they managed to annoy their commander [[Hot Shot (Transformers)|Hot Shot]] beyond reason but subsequently apprehended [[Cyclonus|Snow Cat]]. Arcee would have further adventures battling [[Mirage (Transformers)|Mirage]], Sharkticon and [[Slugslinger]] to protect [[Kicker (Transformers)|Kicker]], eventually defeating them with Kicker's help.

===Fun Publications===
Arcee appeared in the text story from [[Fun Publications]] called "Force of Habit". This story explained where she was during the events of the ''Cybertron'' story. Ultra Magnus was the commander of various Autobot ships sent to other planets in search for the Cyber Planet Keys. Arcee served as captain of the ''Azusa'' which was sent to [[Gamma Serpentis]].

===Toys===
* '''''Energon'' Basic Arcee'''
:In 2005, ''Energon'' Arcee was repackaged for the ''Transformers: Universe'' toy line, although the character has not appeared in the ''Universe'' storyline. This toy was identical to the ''Energon'' release, but in ''Universe'' packaging.
:The Arcee/Ariel toy (Arcee's main color was [[Salmon (color)|salmon-pink]], while Ariel's was [[Rose (color)#Japanese Pink|Japanese pink]]) was later repainted [[green]] and [[Aqua (color)|aqua]] as the Aerial Paradron Type in Japan, in the colors of Generation 1 Paradron Medic. She was again repainted ([[black]]) as ''[[Transformers: Timelines]]'' Flamewar and her head remolded as ''Transformers: Timelines'' Chromia and [[Flareup (Transformers)|Flareup]].
