Editing Arcee (section)

===Animated series===
Although a group of Female Autobots (not including Arcee) had already been featured in one episode of [[The Transformers (TV series)|the original cartoon series]], Arcee quickly became the best-known due to her position as a recurring cast member following her introduction in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' (1986). Susan Blu would go on to be involved in several more ''Transformers''-related shows as voice director, even reprising her role as Arcee in [[Transformers: Animated]]. Arcee was a gunner and was depicted as being an excellent marksman. In the season 3 introduction, "Five Faces of Darkness", she accompanies Springer on a mission to track down a sleezoid ship. The mission eventually reunites them with [[Grimlock]] and [[Rodimus Prime]]. They also go onto rescue [[Ultra Magnus]], Kup and [[Witwicky family#Spike Witwicky|Spike Witwicky]] from the clutches of the [[Quintessons]].

Arcee would appear sporadically over the course of the season, and even kept her main character status into the fourth season dubbed "The Rebirth". She was a major player in "Dark Awakening", being among the crew zombie [[Optimus Prime]] betrayed aboard the mausoleum. And, in "Dweller in the Depths", she is seen fighting back against Springer when he is turned into an energy vampire.

In the episode "Only Human", Ultra Magnus, [[Springer (Transformers)|Springer]], [[Rodimus|Rodimus Prime]] and Arcee found their minds transferred into human-mimicking "[[synthoid]]" bodies by the human crime lord Victor Drath.

In the final three episodes of the U.S. television series, when the Decepticons successfully stole the key to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]] and opened the ancient device, a group of Autobots and humans - including Arcee and [[Daniel Witwicky]] - were blasted across the galaxy by the energy release, crash-landing on the planet Nebulos. Quickly siding with a group of rebels engaged in a war against the planet's evil rulers, [[Hive (Transformers)|the Hive]], they deduced a process by which they could combine the best of their minds and bodies together, becoming Headmasters. While the other Autobot Headmasters combined with Nebulons, Daniel became Arcee's Headmaster partner.

In the Japanese television series ''Transformers: The Headmasters'', the events of the last three episodes of the U.S. series were ignored. Although Headmasters were introduced, they had a vastly different origin. Arcee did not become a Headmaster, but was a regular on this series, appearing in most of the episodes, from episode 1 "Four Warriors Come Out of The Sky" to episode 35 "The Final Showdown On Earth Part 2".

In the ''[[Beast Wars]]'' episode "Transmutate", [[Rattrap (Transformers)|Rattrap]] referred to Arcee as his great-aunt: "''What in the name of my great aunt Arcee is going on!?''" The character Transmutate was coincidentally voiced by Susan Blu, who also voiced Arcee.
