====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.
