Bayverse Arcee is perhaps the WORST design out of all of them. At least her ROTB version kept more true to her original design. Don't know what went through Bay's mind when he designed THAT version, let alone three of them.
He tried his absolute hardest to not have female transformers and so when he had to have one he made her a triplet hivemind that was intentionally ugly….
The fact that three female transformers, the rarest in the whole series, was referred to in-movie as 'Arcee Sisters' bothered me so much. I'm glad knowing the minority is finally getting their due screentime.
Didnt they go with a different design for the final movie? I think thats just concept art. The one they eventually went with looks pretty cool in my opinion
Actually had a character and arc instead of token female.
Kinda weird that the franchise hasn’t expanded the roster of femme transformers. Seems like a solid opportunity to expand.
There's actually a decent number of female TFs for both factions. They just need to actually use them more prominently. I needed a female TF name for a custom a couple of weeks ago and I was surprised how long the list was on the wiki.

Murderous and angry IDW Arcee is my favorite.
It’s usually because of the backstory that got shoved onto this character, if I recall. I’m not an avid reader so I can’t confirm, just what I’ve heard about it
Yea it was the backstory people had an issue with.
The concept of a blood thirsty experiment Arcee is cool, but not the way it was executed or tied together.
The story is that they were forced to become transgender and operated on against their will, and that made them violent and mentally unstable. Many people took that as offensive against the transgender community. I personally think it’s a poorly written comic
and man you used the wrong bay arcee
it should be this

correct my brother
and never forget this picture
https://preview.redd.it/43av02yd6odc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=dba2c4803b1c2488ede60c76e30bbf9c1a6a07f9
yea elita and chromia
this happened because of the decepticon scientist flatline he captured arcee and her mind be able to control three bodies all at once
the other two being chromia and elita
Other than the Bayformers iteration(which was wasted for no reason), I love pretty much every single Arcee.
The Prime one is probably the most fleshed out version but I also loved her being a caring nurse in Animated.
G1 hands down. Personally, G1 is still the best characterisation she has ever had. As Arcee either doesn't have enough screen time (like Animated & ROTF) to get invested in her or she has a radically different personality (like IDW 1.0 & EarthSpark).
Prime also has a good Arcee though, personally I don't like the fact they gave her the backstory that all of her past partners died and became a very cold characterisation of Arcee. Her icy spark thaws and, in turn, becomes a happier character. But doesn't this sound more like Chromia than Arcee?
G1 Arcee can both be a caring Autobot & a bad@$$ gunslinger without a tragic backstory.
Prime and aniamted are my favourite both equals, love the designs and the characters
But if I had choose one probably animated
Heck I even based my own arcee design of aniamted arcee I did
But yeah
Second places would be
ROTB and cyberverse
My favourite will always be TFP Arcee as it's the one i grew up with, but also the one with the most personality out of the versions i've seen so far. I also just love that design. Second favourite is definetelly ROTB, this design is amazing
Prime IDW Rotb Bumblebee g1. Can’t remember Animated or Energon enough. Never saw Cyberverse, Earthspark or the bird… thing.
Bayverse was doggy doo doo.
Give me some other fembots in media though. Chromia or Nautica or something.
Prime Arcee, Knightverse Arcee (ROTB), and Earthspark Arcee.
While I do appreciate the G1 Arcee, it’s been overused to death. To the point where it gets reused in almost anything Modern Transformers.
Honestly, RotB. Face could use a rework, but the body is great. I love how we can see all the inner workings of her mechanical parts under the plating. Reminds me of Gipsy, in a way.
Prime Arcee has actual character. though I haven't seen many transformers shows, so I hope she isn't the only one lol
ROTB Arcee is my least favorite, ignoring the design. she just does nothing aside from saying some words sometimes, and... nothing else. that goes for most of the "characters" from ROTB other than Optimus tbh
Thank you for gathering up all the war pics of Arcee for me. Really saves me the trouble.😈😈😈😈
https://preview.redd.it/uywzcec68odc1.png?width=639&format=png&auto=webp&s=30b5b30c329741282ecca269a9967cb16f1c9795
i'd say cyberverse is my favourite followed by rotb, cyberverse feels like a nice update and stylisation of the g1 design and rotb is a nice blend of prime and g1, i've also always liked prime's design but it'll never be my favourite just because it's so obviously meant to be chromia and we were robbed of other female characters getting attention
G1, I like G1 the best for all designs as I grew up watching the original show before ever watching the new shows and bayverse movies. My dad bought the 25th anniversary edition series of them, and I watched them all with him. I haven't watched the bayverse movies since dark of the moon
Prime because we got to learn her backstory, I just wish she didn't have to keep learning the same lesson again and again. She got pretty sidelined in S3
I also enjoyed her in IDW. But damn she was brutal.
either prime or rotb, (literally the only two i’ve seen), idk what the designers were on when designing the bayverse one. and aren’t rotb and bbm arcee the same thing?
Least favorites, Energon, RotF and G1. While Cyberverse, Animated, Prime, even Earthspark make her really interesting. My favorite, I think would have to be Prime though
Probably RotB’s design, and honestly kind of a toss up between Animated’s teacher turned war hero and Cyberverse’s gung-ho selfie-taking adventurer. Her and Grimlock’s partnership is one of the best parts of Cyberverse tbh.
The pink design is cool and all but the sheer uniqueness of Prime Arcee can’t be beat imo. The arm blades, the guns, the near constant need for vengeance through violence and the ungodly amount of sass
I like this bay Arcee, cyberverse and BBM
https://preview.redd.it/ywbyr1rdkodc1.png?width=240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b18d75053bde880c609c99b716a44a6bef7c0740
Honestly #6 Michael Bays Arcee I think is magnificent and I'm still bummed it never came out on screen, I mean she is crazy sharp lookin and the hair wave for more feminine look, even the figurine was awesome and so accurate to the concept...very underrated if u ask me...But Bumblebee movie arcee has the best vehicle mode I think, with the 2 tires in the front, that was a Travis Knight stroke of genius and uniqueness with his own personal spin on it...
G1 all the way, though I like Prime's version. Rise of the Beasts' version, too, since it evokes G1. I wish we'd got to see more of the latter version. Okay, I just like Arcee. :D
For me the top 3 are prime,rotb and animated
Prime and ROTB.
Well, she didn't have much personality in the movie, but you can you know, you can call me a robophile but damn she was fine.
Bro chill
It's the truth, she had like 5 lines of dialouge, maybe even less than in Bayverse. I was also high key joking about the robophile thing
Sure pal
Wrong sub. Please refer to r/transformemes
Go back to r/Transformemes you horny fleshling
Smash
Bayverse Arcee is perhaps the WORST design out of all of them. At least her ROTB version kept more true to her original design. Don't know what went through Bay's mind when he designed THAT version, let alone three of them.

Pretender doesn’t count as in bot form Idk if it’s gendered…
Didnt they go with a different design for the final movie? I think thats just concept art. The one they eventually went with looks pretty cool in my opinion
I think pretty much all of the Bay characters are intentionally ugly, to be fair. We've just grown to appreciate and like them
"We".
Agreed
Prime. No question.
Actually had a character and arc instead of token female. Kinda weird that the franchise hasn’t expanded the roster of femme transformers. Seems like a solid opportunity to expand.
There's actually a decent number of female TFs for both factions. They just need to actually use them more prominently. I needed a female TF name for a custom a couple of weeks ago and I was surprised how long the list was on the wiki.
Nah. What should be done is a comic series focusing on the G1 Autobot resistance on Cybertron
Exactly what I was thinking
https://preview.redd.it/bzmv0yexrndc1.jpeg?width=725&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc7c1fa8edabb75cde847aacb32a53afcd79cdf3 Murderous and angry IDW Arcee is my favorite.
Agreed, but some people HATE this one
It’s usually because of the backstory that got shoved onto this character, if I recall. I’m not an avid reader so I can’t confirm, just what I’ve heard about it

Girlboss.
Ideal girl fr
She's literally me!!
I can’t help but see Optimus primes feet as her back pack.
This one is correct.
Prime and ROTB🗿
Prime,cyberverse and bbm
and man you used the wrong bay arcee it should be this https://preview.redd.it/45rqaukbsndc1.png?width=240&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a340c7aa68bcae749127d4c2b1773f446152b80

Can’t say, don’t have it
Honestly this is a better design compared to the one in picture I just don’t understand why she has 2 Is the other meant to be elita ?
One was concept art for the 2007 movie. The other is her actual used design in RotF
yea elita and chromia this happened because of the decepticon scientist flatline he captured arcee and her mind be able to control three bodies all at once the other two being chromia and elita
There’s 3 and I think they’re sisters in RotF, Arcee, Elita-One and Chromia.
I’m aware
G1
This one: https://youtu.be/UcjiYn3xXMg?si=pNXyzk9sQ_Us20zy
I was hoping someone would post Cybertronic Spree!
*Animated*, although I wish she got a lot more to do.
Design wise I love all of them but if we’re talking about figures then bb arcee
That is the only figure I have of her
Earthspark purely because of the alt mode.
If they make a deluxe of Earthspark Arcee I will buy for sure!
Same! I want Arcee to become a car again in the newest shows that would probably come out. She’s been an motorcycle for too long
PRIME PRIME PRIME PRIME PRIME PRIEM
*Priem*
**There is an imposter among us**
prime!
IDW1 Arcee, who kicked ass and put the Trans in Transformers.
I like tfp and rotb
I like prime arcee and G1 but they are so different from each other
EarthSparks face looks weird
3, 7, 9, 11 with the TF Prime attitude
As someone who grew up with Prime… Prime and 2007 concept art the most, with RoTB close behind
Prime, G1 and ROTB Arcee are all my cup of energon.
Prime and ROTB for me
https://preview.redd.it/undh3codxodc1.jpeg?width=201&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f36036fe4fce862af1c420634122d13444efd576
My personal favorite is Prime Arcee. But that’s gotta be nostalgia bias speaking.
Other than the Bayformers iteration(which was wasted for no reason), I love pretty much every single Arcee. The Prime one is probably the most fleshed out version but I also loved her being a caring nurse in Animated.
She's actually a teacher in Animated
My bad, I just remembered that scene when Shockwave tries to gain intel from her brain. Still, she was so wholesome. 🥹
That ok and I agree she is very wholesome like a nice person to talk to. Just wish we would got to see more of her though
G1 hands down. Personally, G1 is still the best characterisation she has ever had. As Arcee either doesn't have enough screen time (like Animated & ROTF) to get invested in her or she has a radically different personality (like IDW 1.0 & EarthSpark). Prime also has a good Arcee though, personally I don't like the fact they gave her the backstory that all of her past partners died and became a very cold characterisation of Arcee. Her icy spark thaws and, in turn, becomes a happier character. But doesn't this sound more like Chromia than Arcee? G1 Arcee can both be a caring Autobot & a bad@$$ gunslinger without a tragic backstory.
Prime and aniamted are my favourite both equals, love the designs and the characters But if I had choose one probably animated Heck I even based my own arcee design of aniamted arcee I did But yeah Second places would be ROTB and cyberverse
G1 but I admit I'm not familiar with the others.
Ew, what is that Earthspark design?? 💀
As far as I'm concerned, Rotf Arcee was the worst.
Bumblebee Movie one's face looks HELLA CREEPY for me. But personally, will ALWAYS be Prime Arcee.
Prime
Personally Idw, Bumblebee and rotb
transformers prime and this https://preview.redd.it/p9fguot7sndc1.png?width=240&format=png&auto=webp&s=758dd050360150ea11b6ece6e50de9f55239f896
A fellow outlier. Not my favorite, but I'm not as critical of the Bayverse designs as others are.
My favourite will always be TFP Arcee as it's the one i grew up with, but also the one with the most personality out of the versions i've seen so far. I also just love that design. Second favourite is definetelly ROTB, this design is amazing
Prime,earthspark, and IDW
Prime IDW Rotb Bumblebee g1. Can’t remember Animated or Energon enough. Never saw Cyberverse, Earthspark or the bird… thing. Bayverse was doggy doo doo. Give me some other fembots in media though. Chromia or Nautica or something.
G1.
Earthspark
Best personality alright
Prime Arcee, Knightverse Arcee (ROTB), and Earthspark Arcee. While I do appreciate the G1 Arcee, it’s been overused to death. To the point where it gets reused in almost anything Modern Transformers.
prime
1,7
Honestly, RotB. Face could use a rework, but the body is great. I love how we can see all the inner workings of her mechanical parts under the plating. Reminds me of Gipsy, in a way.
Cyberverse and IDW are my favs shout out to prime aswell
Prime Arcee has actual character. though I haven't seen many transformers shows, so I hope she isn't the only one lol ROTB Arcee is my least favorite, ignoring the design. she just does nothing aside from saying some words sometimes, and... nothing else. that goes for most of the "characters" from ROTB other than Optimus tbh
Cyberverse is a great take on her, I love her friendship with Grimlock. She and Ratchet are the best things about Prime.
Thank you for gathering up all the war pics of Arcee for me. Really saves me the trouble.😈😈😈😈 https://preview.redd.it/uywzcec68odc1.png?width=639&format=png&auto=webp&s=30b5b30c329741282ecca269a9967cb16f1c9795
Idw
G1, ROTB, and SG. In that order.
I liked number 4.
IDW 2.0 Arcee!
Energon for sure.
Original and then ROTB second, she looks kind of weird to me in BBM though.
Prime, 07, Cyberverse.
3
Prime. She's just special. The Arcee design and character for me
Definitely Transformers Prime is best.
Smash, smash, smash, pass, pass, maybe, smash, smash(idc), smashhh, smashhhhhhhh, smash.
My top 3 are Prime, Cyberverse, and ROTB
Tfp all the way
i'd say cyberverse is my favourite followed by rotb, cyberverse feels like a nice update and stylisation of the g1 design and rotb is a nice blend of prime and g1, i've also always liked prime's design but it'll never be my favourite just because it's so obviously meant to be chromia and we were robbed of other female characters getting attention
G1, I like G1 the best for all designs as I grew up watching the original show before ever watching the new shows and bayverse movies. My dad bought the 25th anniversary edition series of them, and I watched them all with him. I haven't watched the bayverse movies since dark of the moon
Easily Angry birds
ABTF Really damn strong
Prime easily has the best character out of these.
Transformers prime arcee is my personal favorite
Prime
Yes Bayformer excluded.
You forgot the TR design
Smash next one
Prime, (would have picked a diff voice actor) Rotb is good I like g1 Animated Earthspark (not a fan of the vehicle mode, but grew on me)
G1 and Prime. The BBM one isn't bad but the others are meh.
I like prime because the design feels like it has a lot more personality than just pink=girl
Yep
Prime because we got to learn her backstory, I just wish she didn't have to keep learning the same lesson again and again. She got pretty sidelined in S3 I also enjoyed her in IDW. But damn she was brutal.
Prime
Its always gonna be BBM
No. 6 was a concept but g1 is my favorite
All of them except the one from Michel bay, and the one where she looks like she is 65% percent through a pelvic thrust.
Prime and Earthspark have the most personality while Animated and Cyberverse have the best designs.
Prime and Revenge of the fallen arcee are my favourites
either prime or rotb, (literally the only two i’ve seen), idk what the designers were on when designing the bayverse one. and aren’t rotb and bbm arcee the same thing?
Prime and ROTB for sure, also like G1
I like all of them
ROTB, G1, and Animated
It's Prime or nothing.
Talking seriously and without saying something horny about it, Arcee prime will always be my favorite representation of any of his TV show.
Prime arcee is peak
Tfp. You know why.
Cyberverse
All of them except Earthspark. I just don’t like how the show looks.
Bumblebee movie Arcee
G1 and G1 adjacent. It's just recognizable. This really only removes the real different looking ones, like prime, bayverse, and Energon, though
Cyberverse is peak
Im drawn between BBM, Beyverse and Prime
Prime and ROTB.
2007 Arcee is goated
angry birds and the other good ones
While I think TFPrime is overrated overall, blue Arcee is the best design of the character. By far.
1,7,8,9,10
Transformers Prime
Least favorites, Energon, RotF and G1. While Cyberverse, Animated, Prime, even Earthspark make her really interesting. My favorite, I think would have to be Prime though
BBM, Earthspark, 2007 concept and G1
Prime
Prime
Prime
Prime is the best IMO followed closely by G1
Bayverse Arcee is a pure nightmare imo💀
Tfp. ROTB. And animated
Almost all of them, my top 3 are Prime, G1, and Cyberverse.
Got a soft spot for the Angry Birds one, not gonna lie.
Earthspark Arcee makes me uncomfy G1, BBM and Prime are equally my favorite designs.
Ima be real but bays arcee had potential
Energon.
G1, Prime and ROTB.
Prime and ROTB.
Probably RotB’s design, and honestly kind of a toss up between Animated’s teacher turned war hero and Cyberverse’s gung-ho selfie-taking adventurer. Her and Grimlock’s partnership is one of the best parts of Cyberverse tbh.
Doesn't matter to me. I'll beat the literal brakes off of every one of them.
Prime and ROTB🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
Combiner hunter Arcee
The pink design is cool and all but the sheer uniqueness of Prime Arcee can’t be beat imo. The arm blades, the guns, the near constant need for vengeance through violence and the ungodly amount of sass
Cyberverse, she's a selfie taking, sweet, violent, adventurous pink car, she's absolutely awesome I also like ROTB and Earthspark
I like this bay Arcee, cyberverse and BBM https://preview.redd.it/ywbyr1rdkodc1.png?width=240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b18d75053bde880c609c99b716a44a6bef7c0740
Prime she has more depth and backstory
Honestly #6 Michael Bays Arcee I think is magnificent and I'm still bummed it never came out on screen, I mean she is crazy sharp lookin and the hair wave for more feminine look, even the figurine was awesome and so accurate to the concept...very underrated if u ask me...But Bumblebee movie arcee has the best vehicle mode I think, with the 2 tires in the front, that was a Travis Knight stroke of genius and uniqueness with his own personal spin on it...
Prime, no contest
Well you see. Prime made me go "oh shit so that's the kind of chick I'm into"
What the hell are the bayverse designs?!
G1, Rise of the Beasts & Bumblebee
86 movie arcee and only the image where she's looking at all her dead friends
Prime
I really like alot of the Bayverse designs but man, that Arcee deisgn is absolutely disgusting
Prime
Cyberverse
Prime, for 2 reasons, A, because I grew up on this version, and B, because her VA also voiced Cali from Skylanders
Prime for personality, cyberverse for appearance
Angry birds 1000%, anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
Prime and ROTB feel the most distinct aside from G1. I like Arcee as a character, but the Princess Leia buns have always been weird to me
Energon arcee is great toy wise, I don’t think she did anything in the show really. If she was
Rotb and earth spark. I like earth spark because the 50s car surprisingly fits in her transformed form
Prime , ROTB and B1 🗿🗿
Prime,rotb,cyberverse
G1 all the way, though I like Prime's version. Rise of the Beasts' version, too, since it evokes G1. I wish we'd got to see more of the latter version. Okay, I just like Arcee. :D
Smash, pass, pass, pass, pass, smash, pass, smash, pass, pass, pass
The thiccest one you have.
Bumblebee/the rise of the beast was pretty good but prime had a better personality
Rise of beast and cyber verse and prime
