Snarl Dreamwave Art (English) Information Affiliation Autobot Sub-group,,, Function Desert Warrior Rank 4 Partner Sludge and Tyrannitron Motto 'Only in war is there happiness.' Alternate modes Mechanical Cybertronian Tank Snarl is one of the members of the Autobot sub-group called the Dinobots led. He turns into a robotic Stegosaurus.

The toy that became Snarl was originally part of the toy from Takara. Snarl is an Autobot who grudgingly follows the orders of Dinobot leader Grimlock and leaves the thinking to others. He's generally unhappy and a loner.

His uncommunicative nature adds to his alienation. Only battle can elevate his spirits. Few of his comrades experience the joyous heights that Snarl attains in mortal combat. Snarl was made on earth. His unique design makes Snarl useful in sunny, arid environments.

Large golden plates protrude from his spinal assembly and act as solar collectors. Although he can operate without sunlight, it increases his strength tenfold and his endurance to a virtually limitless degree. A swipe of his tail can shatter a 20-foot concrete cube.

His heavily armored hide makes him resistant to most missile fire. Snarl's dependency on sunlight leaves him vulnerable to nighttime attack.

He can use the same fuel the other Autobots use, at only a fraction of his strength. He is slow and his uncooperative behavior patterns sometimes hinder his effectivess in dangerous situations. Snarl is unique among the Dinobots in that his head is not located near the head of his dinosaur mode. He is the only Dinobot without wings created from body panels. Instead his tail splits to form 'wings' that are more like horns. In the animated series Snarl uses a sword instead of ranged weapons, although the toy comes with an Energo Sword, Electron Cannon rifle and a rocket pod. Snarl is one of the most powerful Dinobots and sometimes the strongest.

Marvel Comics [ ] In the comic series, Snarl was among the Autobots who came to Earth aboard the Ark under the leadership of Optimus Prime. When the Ark crash landed on Earth it reformatted Snarl in the form of one of the Earth's native creatures, a stegosaurus. Eventually, Snarl is deactivated, along with the rest of the Dinobots, while facing who had been empowered by the. He lay in a life support pod in the Ark before Grimlock used the untested energy source known as to revive him and his Dinobot comrades.

Snarl was among the united Autobot and Decepticon forces who opposed Unicron's assault on the planet Cybertron (Transformers #75). He subsequently stayed with the Autobots and appeared in Marvel's Generation 2 comic. Animated series [ ] In the original, Snarl was a created by and on Earth in 1984. He was created along with to be a new to accompany the already-created,, and. While Snarl and Swoop were emerging, convinced Grimlock, Slag, and Sludge that Optimus and the were their enemies and the three original Dinobots kidnapped.

After Wheeljack and Ratchet created Swoop and Snarl with the help of Chip Chase, the new Dinobots were used to rescue Prime. During that battle, Optimus saved the original Dinobots' lives before the meteorite near them exploded and they realized that the Autobots were really their friends. Snarl was the only member of the Dinobots to wield an in robot mode rather than a hand-held gun. It has not been explained why he or the other dinobots were fitted with personalities that can only be found on Cybertron from Vector Sigma. Apparently their brains are simple, while the personalities make them sentient. It is evident that addition of personalities or 'sparks' came after their creation.

In 1985, an island with real dinosaurs was found by and. Optimus decided that Dinobot Island would be a good place for the Dinobots to train and practice their fighting skills, because the Ark was too small for the giant Dinobots. Megatron and the found out about the island and wanted to harvest it for its energy. The Dinobots were thrown in a pit of tar, but later escaped and, with the help of a group of real dinosaurs, attacked Megatron. Later, the Cybertronian Autobots and Decepticons began to malfunction because they ran out of Cybertonium, a crystalline substance only found on. The Dinobots were made on Earth, so they were the only Transformers not affected and were sent to Cybertron to collect it.

When they got to Cybertron, they disappeared. And went to Cybertron to find them and found Swoop, who led them to the other Dinobots who had been captured and forced to work for. Eventually they were freed and brought the Cybertonium back so that the Autobot's bodies could be restored. Snarl as he appears in the Transformers movie In 2005, Grimlock and all the Dinobots except Snarl took part in the Battle of and against as seen in. Although Snarl was seen among the Autobots in non-combat scenes in the city, he seemingly disappeared during combat.

This is mostly attributed to the lack of synchronization between the Korean animators and the writers. Alternatively Snarl could have been left behind along with Blaster to help repair Autobot City as the Autobots suffered casualties and his strength would be needed to help defend the remaining Autobots. He is seen in early trailers of the movie, along with his fellow Dinobots. In the events following the destruction of Unicron and the second Golden Age of Cybertron, Snarl is mostly unseen with the exception of a few minor appearances.

Seeking payback for a humiliating defeat by Shockwave, Grimlock pursues him to prehistoric Earth (which Shockwave was seeding with Energon). In order to protect themselves against Energon surges, the Dynobots require alternate modes covered by a layer of synthetic flesh; Grimlock refuses to transform them into Ice Age mammals and decides to go with dinosaurian forms instead as he thought them more impressive. The Dynobots get the initial jump on Shockwave, as their attack was too illogical for him to understand, but he quickly recovers and blasts the entire team into stasis lock with their synthetic skins destroyed. Grimlock gets the final laugh, as the Dynobot ship fires a pre-programmed blast into the surrounding volcanoes to unleash a flow of lava that engulfs all six Transformers until they were uncovered by human paleontologists in 2006.

In, 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.

Season 1 [ ] In 'Masters and Students', Arcee helped Jack with his science project, until Ratchet decided to get involved. In 'Scrapheap', Arcee went with Optimus Prime to the Arctic to investigate. After determining there was nothing, she and Optimus tried to contact Ratchet back at the base, but could not. She started to rest, before Optimus warned her not to. Arcee tried to blame Bulkhead and reminded Optimus of the time Bulkhead first arrived on Earth, but Optimus reminded her that Bulkhead, even though he was clumsy, was a great help to the team. Just as the two were about to freeze to death, were launched from the base. Before the Scraplets could get to Arcee and Optimus, they froze and the two were allowed to get back into the base.

In 'Con Job', she, Bulkhead and Bumblebee aided in defeating Decepticons try to stop him from reaching the other Autobots. She introduced herself to him and watched as he met Optimus. After it was revealed that the real Wheeljack was captured by Starscream and the one who arrived at the base was really, she tried to attack him with the others before Wheeljack arrived at the base and attacked him. In 'Convoy', Arcee went with Optimus, Bumblebee and Bulkhead to transport D.N.G.S. While transporting the military based object, the four were attacked by several MECH soldiers. She and the others were attacked by several Vehicons.

The resulting fight inadvertently revealed their existence to MECH. In 'Deus Ex Machina', after Bulkhead accidentally destroyed a painting of an artifact, Arcee asked at the base how the Decepticons could search for an artifact when they had no idea where it was before being told by Raf that they could simply use the internet. Arcee fought alongside the rest of the Autobots against newly arrived Decepticons and. She and Bumblebee planned to attack the two at the same time, before they were forced to crash into each other by Knock Out.

She, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime came to Bulkhead's aid after he single-handedly defeated the two and Starscream later on. In 'Speed Metal', as Arcee and Jack were leaving school, they encountered Sierra, who asked if she could take Jack up on his offer of a ride. They were interrupted by Vince, who challenged Jack to a race. Arcee reminded her companion of the rules, however when Vince made disparaging remarks about her motorcycle mode, she decided that he needed to be taught a lesson. Arcee and Jack completely smoked Vince at racing, though she made Jack swear not to tell any of the other Autobots.

When Jack agreed to another race, Arcee flatly refused to take part, and later found out he'd talked Bumblebee into helping him instead. Furious, she dragged Bulkhead out to help her find Jack and Bumblebee, only to reach them just as Knock Out was abducting Vince. The three Autobots tracked the Decepticons to a storage facility, where Arcee attempted unsuccessfully to retrieve Vince from Knock Out, and ended up chasing the Con.

She was unable to catch him, but Optimus turned up to lend a hand and rescue the human, and he demanded an explanation from his ashamed soldiers. Afterwards, Arcee was willing to allow Jack to give Sierra a ride, but just once. In 'Predatory', Arcee and Jack went on recon together. Arcee then saw a ship and realized that the ship was that of Airachnid. When she was confronted by Airachnid, Arcee tried to fight, but was tied up by Airachnid's webs.

She tried to convince Jack to leave her behind. Arcee eventually managed to break free using her motorcycle mode, and caught up with Jack in time to save him by delivering a brutal beating to Airachnid, who managed to flee underground. Arcee was left with a new respect for how Jack had handled the situation, and was happy to call him her partner. In 'Sick Mind', after Optimus was infected by, Arcee and Bumblebee GroundBridged aboard the Nemesis to find a cure. They found Megatron's body in stasis lock. Arcee and Bumblebee used a cortical psychic to search Megatron's brain for the cure. Arcee did the attaching, while Bumblebee went into Megatron's mind.

Starscream discovered their hiding place, but luckily, just as he did, Bumblebee found the formula, so Arcee disconnected him and they both GroundBridged out of there. In 'Out Of His Head', Arcee, Bulkhead, and Optimus went after a telescope lens that Starscream had stolen to melt a glacier and gain the energon underneath. Arcee and Bulkhead drove towards the Nemesis to distract the Decepticons from Optimus. The two fought Breakdown and the fight ended in a stalemate.

In 'Shadowzone', Arcee and the other Autobots discovered a signal. Arcee acted as GroundBridge operator. She realized that the kids had gone with the others and called Optimus to tell him so. Optimus told her to reopen the, but the kids didn't make it through because Starscream's and the kids' GroundBridges crossed streams. Arcee Bridged the others back to base.

She tried to call Jack, but was unable to. In 'Operation: Breakdown', Arcee and the others hear from Bulkhead on his mission, during which he was knocked unconscious and never discovered where Breakdown, his combatant, disappeared to. When they heard that MECH had captured him, Optimus told them they were going to rescue Breakdown. Arcee was confused and asked why, to which Optimus replied that they could not let technology fall into MECH's hands. She came on the rescue mission with the others. In 'Crisscross', Arcee was present when Jack's mom, June, grounded him from his motorcycle.

She and Bumblebee were raiding an Energon mine when Jack called her to tell her that his mom was coming home early. She bridged back into the garage, but not quite in time. When June asked Jack for an explanation, to Arcee's dismay, he told her the truth. He asked her to show herself to June, but she didn't, not wanting to blow her cover. When she bridged over the next night, she beat June home, only to find a package addressed to Jack. When Jack came home, he opened it to find a message from Silas: They had captured June and told them to come to their coordinates as soon as possible.

They arrived at an oil refinery, where MECH was stationed. They discovered Airachnid had teamed up with MECH to get even with them. Arcee was webbed up and shocked unconscious. When she awakened, she was lying on an operating table and MECH was about to open her up. She knocked their tools away and drove out. She found Jack, Airachnid, and June. Airachnid was about to kill June, but Arcee knocked her out of the way.

The two fought each other for some time, until Arcee landed a hard punch and knocked her down, then covering her with cement. Despite this, Airachnid broke through it easily and webbed Arcee to the ground. But before she could do anything else, Agent Fowler arrived.

Airachnid escaped, but not before she scanned Fowler's helicopter. Jack introduced June to Arcee, and the next day she drove both of them to base. In 'Metal Attraction', Arcee and Jack were about to go on a routine diagnostic, but June intervened, asking whether it was safe. Arcee grew increasingly irritated by June's questions and doubts, and when Bulkhead was sent to check out a magnetic disturbance, she volunteered to go along. The two found Airachnid and Breakdown fighting over a, a device that acts like a magnet. The two Autobots leapt into combat. After a few minutes' fighting, Bulkhead and Arcee overcame their opponents, but Breakdown grabbed the weapon and activated it.

Warning him that it isn't a toy, Airachnid retreated underground, and Arcee and Bulkhead found themselves being dragged towards each other. The weapon hoisted them into the air before slamming them back against some rocks. The gauntlet magnetized Arcee to Bulkhead's back. Ratchet says their best bet to get Arcee unstuck is to get the gauntlet back. Bulkhead trudged up to the gas station to confront Airachnid, who had captured Breakdown and had the gauntlet. She told him to put his hands up and turn around.

He did so, and Arcee promptly opened fire, managing to shoot the gauntlet out of Airachnid's hand. The device activated and dragged everything metal towards it. Breakdown was the first to touch it and shut the gauntlet down. Bulkhead and Arcee began awkwardly fighting Breakdown and Airachnid. Bulkhead managed to knock down Breakdown and turned to face Arachnid, but Breakdown used the gauntlet to drop an oil derrick on the Autobots. Pinned under an unconscious Bulkhead, Arcee was menaced by Airachnid.

Fortunately, Bulkhead came around in time, and the pair stood up, now separated. Arcee attacked Breakdown, but Bulkhead found himself no match for Airachnid. She dragged Arcee to her, but Arcee got the upper hand and briefly used the gauntlet to polarize everyone. In the end, the Autobots triumphed and returned to base with the gauntlet, where Arcee received an apology from June for the earlier questioning. In 'Rock Bottom', Arcee was assigned to check out an old Energon mine with Bulkhead.

When Miko ran into the mine, Arcee was persuaded by Jack to let him take a look inside too. She and Jack stumbled on Megatron and Starscream, and during the firefight that ensued, she shot Megatron's arm, causing him to blast the ceiling and causing a cave in. After the floor fell away, she lost track of the others, but eventually found the kids, and was able to rescue Bulkhead from Starscream.

The two Autobots and the kids escaped the mine and briefly considered ending the Decepticons then and there before deciding it wasn't what Optimus would have done. Though Arcee still looked tempted. In 'T.M.I', Arcee accompanied Prime and Bumblebee as they tried to retrieve a before the Decepticons did. During the fight she was tackled by Knock Out. Ultimately the Decepticons made off with the cylinder. Back at base, they discovered that Bulkhead had been zapped in the head with the data when Miko triggered its fail-safe.

She went with Optimus when they tried to bargain for the cylinder. In 'One Shall Fall', when an ancient prophecy looked like it was imminent, Arcee and Bulkhead wondered how seriously they should take it. They accompanied Optimus to a military base to stop the Decepticons attacking it, but when they were faced with Raf being gravely injured, Optimus ordered Arcee to accompany him and Bumblebee back to base.

While Ratchet fought to save the boy's life, Arcee had to keep Bumblebee calm. In 'One Shall Rise: Part 1', Arcee accompanied Bulkhead and Ratchet on a mission to rescue Prime from an area rich in Dark Energon, though at one point she appeared to become mesmerized by the sight of a volcano spewing Dark Energon. Once they got Optimus back to base, they set about investigating the cause of the natural disasters that had begun plaguing the planet, and realized that lay at the center of the Earth. Arcee and the other Autobots began checking out the sites of the tremors. In 'One Shall Rise: Part 2', though Optimus ordered the other Autobots to remain at base, Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee joined him anyway.

They fought increasingly larger stone Unicrons, until they encountered a colossal one that knocked Bulkhead and Bumblebee aside, then sent Arcee likewise tumbling along the ground. As it moved to crush Optimus underfoot, help came in the unlikely form of Megatron, who offered to help them fight Unicron.

After they returned to base, Optimus gave the trio the choice of whether to accompany him and Megatron to Earth's core, and Arcee opted to go for Jack's sake. She, Bumblebee and Bulkhead greeted Megatron to the Autobot base by aiming their guns at him, and when they were ready to GroundBridge to their new destination, she insisted Megatron go first.

Before long, they were standing within Earth's core. In 'One Shall Rise: Part 3', as the Autobots battled Unicron's antibodies, Arcee was briefly separated from the others, and had to ride one of the antibodies to catch up with them again. She, Bulkhead and Bumblebee remained outside Unicron's spark chamber to fight off the antibodies. After Unicron's defeat, they entered the chamber, only to discover that Optimus had lost his memories and that Megatron had tricked him into siding with the Decepticons. Season 2 [ ] In 'Orion Pax: Part 2 and 3', Arcee acts as Jack's chaperone on Cybertron when the boy goes to retrieve the collective wisdom of the Primes from, and holds off both an and Megatron himself to allow for Optimus' return. Arcee would later be at Airachnid's mercy, only to be saved by Starscream, who then drove Airachnid away, before repaying his debt to Arcee for sparing him when he was at her mercy by releasing her. While waiting to hear from Bulkhead (who had become trapped aboard the Nemesis,) Ratchet picks up as unusual readings come from where they last encountered Airachnid and her Insecticon.

Arcee join Optimus and Bumblebee to the location of the readings, where they find Airachnid sending her Insecticons to attack the Nemesis. They decide to take down Airachnid, but she orders her rear guard to attack them while she tries to escape. Arcee follows Airachnid, leaving Optimus and Bumblebee to deal with the Insecticons. Airachnid travels underground and Arcee follows her into a cavern that houses the Insecticon's now empty Stasis Pods. Airachnid tries to sneak up on Arcee, but she seeing Airachnid's reflection in one of the pods and dodges just in time.

She manages to corner Airachnid who realizing she has lost, goads Arcee into making it hurt, as she would have done to Arcee. Despite having her hated enemy at her mercy, Arcee responds to Airachnid's goading by saying ' I'm not like you.' Airachnid uses the opportunity to turn the tables on Arcee, but ends up landing on an empty Insecticon stasis pod which activates, trapping Airachnid in stasis lock. Arcee, Optimus, and Bumblebee transport the stasis pod holding Airachnid to their base for safekeeping. Optimus commends Arcee for her actions and better judgement. In 'Flying Mind', Arcee is one of the Autobots who attacks the Nemesis, but is put in stasis like the rest of them until the Nemesis is emptied of Dark Energon.

In 'Tunnel Vision', Arcee and Bumblebee are sent after the first relic from the Iacon Data Base which the ship was able to decode. Jack and Miko accompany them into New York, but they are separated later.

Arcee and Bumblebee have a fight with Knock Out and his insecticon partner. Arcee was able to kill the Insecticon by tricking it into stepping on the third rail of the subway track. She and Bumblebee were able to obtain the relic, the. In ' Hurt', she, Jack, Bumblebee, and Miko victoriously return to base with the Phase Shifter, only to find Ratchet desperately trying to stabilize a critically injured Bulkhead.

Arcee and the others learn of Bulkhead's ordeal with and encounter with the Insecticon. She tries to go after Miko when she runs off (being able to relate to what she is going through), but Optimus stops her saying she needs sometime alone. In the episode 'New Recruit', when the new Autobot arrives on Earth, Arcee does not trust him as she remembers when Makeshift infiltrated the base. In the episode 'Legacy', Arcee is angered by Smokescreen's action that caused the Autobots to be seen by a human. When Optimus assigns Smokescreen to be tutored about living on Earth by Jack, Arcee shows great concern about his safety. Later, after being led astray by with a decoy to distract the Autobots from the. When Ratchet alerts them of the situation (in which Smokescreen and Jack were being attacked), Arcee rushes to Jack's aid and kills the Insecticons attacking him.

After the battle in which Optimus obtains the Star Saber, Arcee is enraged at Smokescreen for putting Jack in danger. In the episode 'Alpha; Omega', Arcee learns from Optimus about the final four relics, the, which together have the power to revive Cybertron. At first, Arcee and the others are excited to return to their homeworld, but they realize that they do not want to leave because of their human friends.

Arcee is sent to find the first Omega Key, and Smokescreen accompanies her. They find the key, but they discover Megatron, with the arm of a Prime and his new weapon, the Dark Star Saber. Arcee watches as Megatron seemingly kills Smokescreen, and allows her to live, to deliver Optimus the message to face him for the relic. But after the battle, Arcee sees that Smokescreen is alive, thanks to the Phase Shifter. In 'Hard Knocks', Arcee and Bumblebee go to retrieve the second Omega Key, but Knock Out attacks them with Soundwave's. In 'Inside Job', Arcee happily congratulates Smokescreen for getting two of the Omega Keys to the Autobots.

When Starscream contacts the Autobots about the final Omega Key, Arcee is concerned whether or not they can trust Starscream. In 'Regeneration', Arcee takes the with her when the Autobots return to Cybertron. With it she is able to defeat the Decepticons and retrieve the Omega Keys with the other Autobots.

However, in 'Darkest Hour', she and the others are forced to give the keys when Megatron threatens to expose the newly kidnapped children to Cybertron's toxic atmosphere. Megatron then tries to reformat Earth into a metallic planet like Cybertron with the Omega Lock forcing Optimus to destroy it with the Star Saber.

Season 3 [ ] In the opening arc of the third season, Beast Hunters, Arcee and Jack are on their own, trying to avoid the Decepticons. After a close encounter with the Decepticons, they escape and eventually find Optimus Prime's second-in-command,, who reveals that Arcee is one of five Autobot life signals that he detected on Earth.

Eventually, they find Bulkhead, Wheeljack, Ratchet and Bumblebee, the last of whom has a new paint scheme created by reversing his colors. Arcee makes the remark that were she to do the same, she would be pink (a nod to the color scheme of her Generation 1 counterpart.) She later participates in the attack on and retreats with the other Autobots after a recently upgraded Optimus Prime destroys the fortress. In the episode 'Plus One', Arcee is sent with Wheeljack after a remain. After the two defeat a group of Vehicons easily, Arcee talks with Wheeljack about his current problems with Ultra Magnus. She learns that Wheeljack's real problem was with Bulkhead as he has gone soft. She tells him that he'll always have the as he knew them and also says not to push Bulkhead away, as if something were to happen to him, he'd never forgive himself, speaking from experience of losing two partners.

After they get the Predacon spine, Arcee is contacted by Jack, who tells her that June and Fowler were captured. She and Wheeljack find Knock Out and pursue him. Arcee fights with the Insecticons, and tests her new powerful blaster on them.

Knock Out escapes, but June and Fowler are saved. In 'Deadlock', the final episode, Arcee leads Stealth Team to storm the Omega Lock, where they are met by Starscream, who Arcee fights. After the Autobots defeat the Decepticons and restore Cybertron, she has to return to Cybertron to help rebuild. She has a heartfelt goodbye with Jack, telling him to keep in touch, and emotionally leaving afterwards. Predacons Rising movie [ ] Afterwards, in the epilogue movie 'Predacons Rising', she and the other Autobots-save Ratchet, who remained behind on Earth-return to Cybertron and witness Bumblebee's ceremony of promotion to the rank of warrior.

Optimus and Wheeljack then depart to locate the long lost, leaving Arcee and the others to safeguard Cybertron. Major trouble soon arrives in the form of new Predacons cloned by Shockwave and Starscream, as well as the return of Unicron in Megatron's resuscitated and upgraded body. Along with the other Autobots, Arcee participates in defending Primus from Unicron and his army of. She also has an exchange with Bumblebee in which she expresses her admiration of how much he's matured, and is complimented by him in turn. Unicron is defeated and the Decepticons are formally dissolved by a penitent Megatron, and Optimus Prime returns the AllSpark to Cybertron after becoming one with it to protect it from Unicron. Arcee and the others are thus left to watch as new life comes to Cybertron. Relationships [ ] • - Arcee, at first, seemed indifferent and even a little hostile towards Cliffjumper at first, as she told Starscream to 'go ahead and slag himself' when he threatened to kill Cliffjumper in order to get information from her during flashbacks in Out of the Past.

Later on in the episode, she saved his life, but then made it clear that she didn't want him around. Cliffjumper, however, acted very differently as he told Shockwave to leave Arcee alone and use the Cortical Phycic Patch on him instead (something Shockwave did not do) and got distressed to the point of threatening to kill Starscream and Shockwave after Arcee apparently died at their hand (as it turned out, she was playing possum to get the 'Cons offguard) It was Cliffjumper who managed to reach Arcee through the shell she had created for herself due to the trauma she faced after witnessing Tailgate's murder. By the end of the episode, the two of them had begun to get along, with Arcee finally accepting Cliffjumper as a friend. Cliffjumper's death at the hands of Starscream seemed to reopen old wounds as she had to face the pain of losing another partner.

She was distraught when she found out that the Decepticons had turned his body into a Terrorcon zombie, to the point that she collapsed upon returning to their base. Arcee continues to grieve for him throughout the first season, as she is shown talking to his grave site and then promising to avenge his death. • - Arcee is one of Optimus' right hand soldiers. Even though Optimus is taller than Arcee, she's his best fighter, his 'go to gal' whenever he needs someone to talk with. Arcee sees Optimus Prime as a great leader and friend, even stating to Ratchet once that she would give her life for him. She informally serves as his second in command, although it is worth noting that she has been known to occasionally disregard his orders - due to her overwhelming desire to seek vengeance upon her enemies, like. Despite this, Arcee appears much closer to Optimus than the other.

The two were together when they discovered had been killed. Later Arcee accompanied Optimus to find Cliffjumper's body after its life signal appeared online, where Optimus gave her cover fire as he shot through several. She and Optimus went alongside each other to the Arctic. After failing to retrieve what they wanted, the two were stranded there together as Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee tried to fix the base after it was attacked. She related to Optimus her surprise to die in an Arctic, rather than by the hands of the Decepticons. Arcee is seen to hang out with Optimus and talk with him. Arcee never argues with Optimus or show any rage towards him.

Arcee would comfort Optimus or even help him get to his feet. She respects Optimus and sees him as a true leader and friend to have. Optimus protects and sees Arcee as a strong soldier and friend. Arcee seems to know a lot about being a Prime. She indicates Optimus not being the party type of bot and that he never runs from a fight. As a leader, Optimus always ensure the safety of his team, which includes Arcee's safety. • - Arcee may be looked up to by Bumblebee, possibly due to her skills and overall personality.

She has previously addressed Bumblebee as 'family' rather than 'friend,' and appears to regard him as something of a younger brother. Bumblebee and Arcee are shown to fight together in battle. Arcee never argued with Bumblebee and seemed to comfort him whenever he felt impaired. Bumblebee would save or protect Arcee from any danger. The two were together during Jack's initial meeting with the Autobots and fought Vehicons together before Bulkhead arrived. She, Bumblebee and the other Autobots fought against Knock Out and Breakdown during their attempt to steal the Energon Harvester, which proved successful as the Autobots were defeated. She and Bumblebee went to retrieve two relics together, only coming back successful for the first and failing to secure the second.

She met back up with Bumblebee and Ratchet when Ultra Magnus found the two. She complimented Bumblebee on his new paint job, citing that if she had also reversed her colors, she would be pink. She later teamed up with on the assault at Darkmount and was made his commander in the 'Stealth Team'. She was shocked when Bumblebee died and even more surprised when he was revived, and later told him that his voice had returned.

In Predacons Rising, Arcee told Bumblebee that he has proved his mettle in battle and on the team. Bee referred her as a powerful little two wheeler. This clearly implies the two have feelings for each other.

• - Arcee suspected Smokescreen as a Decepticon spy when he first arrived, but she later worried for him as he was not being careful about contact with humans. After many attempts on his part to be a hero she scolded him like a mother. When Smokescreen was seemingly killed by the, Arcee mourned losing another partner. She was surprised and relieved when he used and it had saved his life. When Smokescreen seemed to care more about his ego than restoring Cybertron she lashed out at him, despite Optimus telling her that she made her point. This caused Smokescreen to drive away in a huff, which led to him being captured by Soundwave.

After Smokescreen returned uninjured from the Nemesis with two Omega Keys, she finally gave him the respect he had rightfully earned. She came to have more respect for him after it was implied he played a vital role in saving Optimus Prime's and all the other Autobots' lives. • - Wheeljack and Arcee are two opposites of the same warrior. When Wheeljack almost abandoned the team, Arcee stepped in to help Wheeljack. They both went to get a Predacons bone and talk about Wheeljack's problem. Wheeljack had a little problem with his new commander, Ultra Magnus.

But that wasn't the main problem, it was Bulkhead becoming 'soft'. Wheeljack and Bulkhead used to be serious in the Wreckers and they would do whatever it takes to complete their mission. Arcee told Wheeljack to not push Bulkhead away because she knows how it feels to lose a partner. Wheeljack was feeling a little better, thanks to Arcee's pep talk. After that, Wheeljack started to become a team player and has respect for Ultra Magnus and Bulkhead.

Wheeljack and Arcee are like two lone wolves. They prefer to work alone, even though they would do whatever it takes to be a true team player on their team. • - When Arcee and Bumblebee snuck aboard the Nemesis to retrieve a cure for Optimus, Arcee saw Megatron's unconscious body.

After Bumblebee succeeded in getting the formula from Megatron, Arcee shot the latter's life support cord out of his body. During the Autobots attempt to get Optimus Prime back, Megatron attacked and defeated Bumblebee, Ratchet, Bulkhead and Orion Pax before Arcee came through the Space Bridge and knocked him in the back. She briefly fought the Decepticon, being able to dodge several of his blasts before being grabbed and put against a wall by the Decepticon leader.

After Optimus was revived with the Key to Vector Sigma, Arcee and the other Autobots participated in shooting at the Decepticon before retreating through a GroundBridge. After Megatron abandoned the Decepticons in Predacons Rising, Arcee may have forgiven Megatron.

• - Initially, Arcee held no anger towards Starscream significantly, as he was of no more significance to her than any other Decepticon. She, Bulkhead and Bumblebee stopped him from torturing after he had Soundwave capture the latter for interrogation for discovery of the location of the Autobot base. Soon enough, she stopped him from causing any harm to Bulkhead, whom was preoccupied stopping a tunnel from falling, instead having Starscream do so. Shortly afterwards, she was shocked to see Starscream willing to join the Autobots. The group discussed his motives and ultimately agreed that they would give him a chance. Arcee was left alone with him, this proving fatal as she discovered he had murdered Cliffjumper. Angered, she chose to attack him.

However, not before giving him the keys to his cuffs. As she came closer, Starscream cowered and begged for mercy. As she reached to grab the keys, he jabbed her in the side with his sharp fingers and attacked her. During the ensuring battle, she gained the upper hand on the Decepticon and came close to finishing him off before Bumblebee arrived on the scene. The two would next met after the Autobots went to the location Starscream had told Ratchet and Bulkhead of.

Starscream saved Arcee's life by shooting at Airachnid and thereby, driving his fellow rogue Decepticon off before she could finish Arcee off. Though Arcee expected Starscream to finish her off, Starscream remembered their last encounter and how she had allowed him to live. As such, he did the same for her, cutting her down from her hanging place and walking off after doing so. • - Arcee was trapped by Airachnid during the Great War on, alongside her partner. However, she was the only one of the two to survive as Airachnid killed Tailgate after Arcee claimed to have not known anything. Soon enough, Arcee was saved by Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, dragged off with the guilt of not being able to save her partner from his death. The two would meet again on, Arcee instantly recognizing her ship while scouting with her new ally, human.

Despite Arcee's initial inability to defeat the Decepticon, she summed up the strength and saved Jack from Airachnid. The two crossed paths again when Airachnid allied with MECH and kidnapped June Darby. Arcee's next confrontation with Airachnid would be during a mission with the other Autobots when Airachnid left Starscream alone. Upon seeing her, she chased after Airachnid and fought her before being placed in a headlock. She was saved by Optimus and forced to remain behind when Optimus realized that Arcee's longing to avenge Tailgate would only continue to cloud her judgment. Arcee and Airachnid met up again when Airachnid had her new Insecticon attack Megatron.

Arcee ran off on her own again and managed to nearly get killed before being saved by Starscream, whom also held a vendetta against the Decepticon. Their next and final encounter would be when Airachnid launched her Insecticon army to destroy Megatron. After aiming at Airachnid, she had the lower fleet of her Insecticons attack Arcee and the other Autobots. After coming down to face her, Arcee attacked and pursued her until Airachnid accidentally landed in an Insecticon pod, cryogenically freezing her and causing the entirety of the Insecticons to join Megatron. Optimus was proud of Arcee and told her that she was stronger for the choice she made of not killing Airachnid.
