====3H Enterprises====
''Transformers: Universe Wreckers'' #1 starts with a flashback to late in the original cartoon series, where Daniel Witwicky and Wheelie are killed. This puts Daniel's friend Arcee into a sad state. The main story is set in the later episodes of ''[[Beast Machines]]''. Arcee, now a [[Maximal (Transformers)|Maximal]] Valkyrie with a spider beast mode, joins the [[Wreckers (Transformers)|Wreckers]], though initially she proves unwilling. The [[List of The Transformers (TV series) characters#Predacons|Predacon]] Fractyl speaks with her after the rest of the group leaves, but is then almost killed by the [[Vehicons]], and Arcee saves his life by sharing her Spark with him, converting him into a new body in the process. The two then rejoin the rest of the team and flee Cybertron in an Autobot shuttle, which unbeknownst to them has been boarded by [[Devcon]]. A confrontation with him leaves Fractyl dangerously wounded, and Arcee takes him to receive medical care. She and the other Wreckers are then betrayed by [[Cyclonus]], who had infiltrated the team in service to the Predacon criminal [[Cryotek]].

According to the script for the unreleased issue #4 of ''Transformers: Universe - The Wreckers'' the Wreckers returned to Cybertron where they helped repel an invasion by the [[Quintessons]].

Arcee appeared in the Devil's Due third series of ''[[G.I. Joe]] vs. The Transformers''. [[Grimlock]], Arcee, Bumblebee, and Perceptor were sent to Earth to aid G.I. Joe in removing the influence of Cybertronian technology on Earth. When [[Cobra Command|Cobra]] attacked the base, the Autobots helped repel the Cobra Battle Android Trooper armies. However, [[Cobra Commander]] was able to infiltrate the base and awaken the special project the government was working on - [[Serpentor|SerpentO.R]], a cyborg created using DNA from many great warleaders and parts from [[Megatron (Transformers)|Megatron]]. SerpentO.R. promptly turned on him and escaped to Cybertron via Spacebridge. The Autobots and a team of G.I. Joes led by [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] pursued him. During this an attraction had been growing between Arcee and Bumblebee. This led to Bumblebee's death at the hands of SerpentO.R as well as the capture of the group. Freed by [[Snake Eyes (G.I. Joe)|Snake Eyes]], Arcee was part of the assault to rescue Prime and proved instrumental in SerpentO.R's (now controlled by Cobra Commander) defeat, ripping his chest piece off and allowing Hawk to reach the Matrix, opening it and putting Cobra Commander in a coma. Arcee was seen mourning Bumblebee at the end.

====Dreamwave Productions====
During the years when Shockwave united most of Cybertron, Arcee was in a resistance group to his rule along with Kup, [[Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]], [[Hot Rod (Transformers)|Hot Rod]] and [[Wheelie (Transformers)|Wheelie]]. After Shockwave's defeat, Arcee joined Ultra Magnus in trying to fortify one of Cybertron's moons – but her affections were the subject of a feud between Hot Rod and [[Springer (Transformers)|Springer]].

====IDW Publishing====
It is revealed in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Spotlight|Spotlight]]'' issue that Arcee was a part of [[Jhiaxus]]'s experiments to introduce gender into the Cybertronian species. Arcee was his first test-subject and her creation was due to Jhiaxus altering with her CNA. According to Arcee she did not measure up to Jhiaxus's ideals and was abandoned.

Unlike her other versions, this Arcee, while still an Autobot by allegiance, is a violent, antisocial killer who is imprisoned by the other Autobots at Garrus 9 for her actions. Released by a reluctant Fortress Maximus during a Decepticon attack to buy time for Jetfire's team to get rid of the Monstructor components, her power level appears much higher than a normal Autobot, as she is seen taking on all of the [[Combaticons]] single handed and winning, although unable to stop their kidnapping of the Monstructor components due to a teleporter based escape plan. She is classified as a "level 9" threat, the only Autobot of that power level present in the prison during the assault. Realizing there is a link between her and the Monstructor Transformers, as they were all created by Jhiaxus, Maximus and Jetfire release her to track them down.

Throughout the ''Revelations'' arc, Arcee hunts for Jhiaxus to get her revenge, finally confronting him in ''Spotlight: Sideswipe''. She is informed by [[Hardhead]] that Jhiaxus cannot be destroyed forever as he is bound to the Dead Universe; she is pleased by this, as it means she has the chance to kill him, over and over, forever.

In ''[[Heart of Darkness]]'', it is revealed that she and Hardhead had remained on Garrus Prime to guard the portal to the Dead Universe and continue torturing Jhiaxus. When the D-Void called the entire population of the planet into the portal to feed on, Arcee was overwhelmed, but Hardhead, vaccinated against the call by his exposure to dead universe energy during revelations, held her back until the portal closed. Since then, they had been exploring the remains of a mysterious dead civilization uncovered by the portal closing. When Galvatron and the seekers arrived to investigate, Arcee and Hardhead engaged them and despite initial success including the severe wounding of Galvatron, became outmatched when Galvatron used the Heart of Darkness to heal himself and attack them, and Hardhead told her to run and get help. Cyclonus blasted a bridge out from under her, and left her for dead, but she was later seen pulling herself back out of the pit.

Later on, Arcee joins with Prowl, becoming his personal assassin whom he deploys to murder [[Ratbat]] in order to keep peace on a post-war Cybertron. Prowl dispatches her to kill several more Decepticons, however some of these deaths are faked as a part of a conspiracy to rile up the many Decepticons on Cybertron into a frenzy against the provisional Autobot government. It is later revealed that Prowl has been under mind control by the Insecticon Bombshell since shortly after having Ratbat killed. Prowl is subsequently forced to become a part of a new Devastator under Bombshell's control. During this, Arcee appears to be loyal to the Decepticons, but once Devastator is unleashed on Cybertron, she kills Bombshell to sever his link with Prowl, enabling the newly formed Autobot combiner Superion to temporally overpower him.

Following the Decepticons' defeat, Starscream takes command of the neutral population of Cybertron, and banishes Autobot and Decepticon alike from the small city built in the aftermath of the war. Arcee leaves with Prowl and the Autobots, eventually joining them officially by carving their insignia into her shoulder.

A later [[retcon]] in the series revealed that Arcee's memory of her forced [[gender transition]] by Jhiaxus was "a lie [she] told [herself]." In Optimus Prime #25, Arcee admits that she is [[transgender]], and sought out Jhiaxus to ''restore'' gender to Cybertronian society, after it was suppressed in ancient times. Her rage was explained as self-loathing, disgust for who Jhiaxus truly was, and fear that her old friends would reject her if they knew she wanted to be female.

====Marvel Comics====
''All stories exclusive to Marvel UK are in italics''

Arcee was absent from the U.S. [[Marvel Comics]] (barring the adaptation of the movie), because the comics had established that in their continuity, Transformers did not possess sexes, thus Arcee's presence as a clearly female robot would have defied this.

Arcee also makes an appearance twice in the American ''Transformers: Headmasters #1'' as a background character in Fortress Maximus' regiment. In order to explain any Autobots introduced during the fourth (then-ongoing) and fifth production years, most of Fortress Maximus's crew on Cybertron and aboard the [[Steelhaven]] were unseen, or used generic bodies until readers were "surprised" with them later.

Arcee would appear in the UK Marvel comic issue #234, "Prime's Rib!" This story is set in the near future, 1995, where [[Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Transformers)|Jazz]] and [[Rodimus|Hot Rod]] introduce the latest Autobot, Arcee, to the human [[feminists]]. She was met with displeasure by the humans, being called a token female and disliked for her pink color. They were then attacked by [[Shockwave (Transformers)|Shockwave]], [[Fangry]], [[Horri-Bull]] and [[Squeezeplay (Transformers)|Squeezeplay]], who thought the Autobot would be unveiling a new weapon. The Autobots fought off the Decepticons, who escaped, but nothing seemed to please the human feminists.

The UK comic also set a number of stories directly after the events of the movie. The ''Space Pirates'' arc saw Arcee skip guard duty at [[Autobot City]]; her dereliction of duty led directly the fall of Autobot City to the [[Quintessons]]. She was then used as bait in a Quintesson trap to claim the [[Creation Matrix]] from [[Rodimus Prime]]. Arcee achieved some measure of redemption by aiding Rodimus Prime, now reduced in power to his ''Hot Rod'' form, in his bid to reclaim Autobot City by activating [[Metroplex (Transformers)|Metroplex]].

Arcee later joined Rodimus Prime's time-travelling party, helping in the fight against [[Galvatron]] during the ''Time Wars''. Arcee and the other future Autobots returned to find their own time-stream changed to a different, darker future, where Galvatron was alive and ruling most of Cybertron.

Arcee appeared among the Autobots under the command of Rodimus Prime in the alternate future story "Aspects of Evil 2" from Marvel UK Transformers #224. In this story, Rodimus Prime remembered how Galvatron, Crankcase, Ruckus and Windsweeper killed Blurr and then attacked Rodimus Prime, Kup, Arcee and the Battle Patrol. Enraged, Rodimus nearly killed Galvatron, but to keep the Matrix from being contaminated by hatred he relented.

Arcee appeared in Marvel UK Transformers #251 "The Void!" where she was among the Autobot crew of a ship commanded by Rodimus Prime which was retreating from Cybertron.
