Talk:Arcee (Movie)

From Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki

You know, I was going to ask if there was someway to put a line in about her movie form not being pink, but now...I don't know, what with the picture up there. -- SFH 23:51, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Has this this bit -- "due to backlash about her not being from G1. (Yes, yes, we know.)" -- actually been stated as the reason she was replaced? --KilMichaelMcC 00:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Fan backlash is one of two or three reasons cited by the writers in one of their BotCon panels (and presumably earlier as well). The "not G1" part in particular is probably exaggeration. There definitely are isolated instances of fans claiming that movie/post-movie isn't G1, but I doubt that is a "reason" for her having been pulled. The note should probably be rephrased for accuracy, since the exaggeration isn't obviously in jest. --Steve-o 03:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I could certainly see backlash regarding Arcee being used in place of an earlier character. Yes, she's a G1 character, but if you have a limited number of autobots she's not exactly everyone's first or even second choice. I do also remember a bit of kerfuffle about one of the producers being asked about Arcee and commenting that she's the one that turns into a motorcycle. So there might have been an impression that he only knew of the Energon version.--Rosicrucian 15:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Interestingly, *nobody* has yet pointed out that Movie Arcee makes no sense 'as a concept.' She'd be *tiny.* Like, the same size as Scorpy or a large Frenzy. 207.255.86.198 14:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

1) Scorponok's the size of a car.

2) Why would she make no sense as a concept if she's a little larger than Frenzy? Frenzy made sense! Why not Arcee?

3) I have to go to the bathroom SO BAD right now. Hold on.

Movie Transformers come in a wide variety of sizes. In robot mode, Arcee would be shorter than most, but taller than some. I don't understand your comment. JW 15:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Didn't the writers say she was 9 feet tall? Which is considerably taller than humans, but much shorter than say, Jazz. --FFN 16:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Guys, please stop editing my spelling of "colour". As I said in my User Talk page, I made the original edit concerning the G1 Colour Edition, and since there are no previous exclusively British or American-spelt words in the article, there's no reason to change it. --Nightshade83 16:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

What's the spelling on the actual box or bag for the toy? JW 16:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Near as I can tell, the only English words added to the box are "LIMITED EDITION." The rest is in Japanese, so spelling is somewhat moot.--Rosicrucian ^Talk 16:47, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

"there are no previous exclusively British or American-spelt words in the article"

Except for "genericised", which is the British spelling, I believe. JW 17:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd just like to point to this as the kind of page where sub-sectioning toys by pricepoint is completely retarded. --M Sipher 15:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deluxe Class vehicle mode

The current text describes her as being a "genericised" 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R. Comparing the model to a Honda CBR600, though, suggests to me that this is the actual intended vehicle. Can anyone offer a source on the Buell Firebolt, or is this just a matter of opinion? 68.199.39.214 03:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New pic

This is supposedly an official, newer, pic of Arcee. http://www.benprocter.com/SITEv2/Graphics_Content/ZOOMPIC_Trans_DeadEnds_Arcee_2.jpg Not Steve ^{complain here}_{The Big Book} 17:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Wow. You can see her 'breasts' and 'high heels' MUCH better in this edition of Arcee. And she's not got something resembling a haircut either. Harley Quinn hyenaholic 02:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] replacing the Titan Magazines section with the MTV interview

Does anyone else think this change should be reverted? Xeno the Hedgehog 01:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ROTF pic?

who took out the picture of the revenge of the fallen version of Arcee?--bumblebee prime!!!!!! 13:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re-writting demand

The Revenge of the Fallen film definitely need to be re-written in some ways. It's "Arcee's blue and purple components" rather than Chromia and Flareup. --TX55^TALK 16:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Would it be possible to contact the filmmakers and ask them for the necessary info to resolve the discrepencies? This film has resulted in so much debate about the identities of certain characters that FIBRIR seems tame by comparison. Xeno the Hedgehog 19:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

This is more detail in the novelization of the film. Also, Roberto Orci said that Arcee was written as three bikes that formed one being, but Michael Bay kept them as individuals without combining.[1] Anyway, before any further information or any retcon, it should be kept "Arcee and her components" just like "Buffalo MPV Decepticon is not Bonecrusher".--TX55^TALK 02:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] The ROTF article

I thought Arcee (and I believe Chromia as well) were killed in the film. Michael Bay confirmed it in an interview. Shall we change arcee getting "severely wounded" to "killed?"--Jaichigo 02:25, September 20, 2009 (UTC)Jaichigo

If Michael Bay says so, then yes. Teh lolz! Bionicle+Lotr 02:45, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ROTF

Is the Arcee in ROTF the same as the movie one? The ROTF one looks very different from the original one, from the comics and toys, so mayve it's a different character? Teh lolz! Bionicle+Lotr 02:45, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Trust me, appearances aside, they are the same character. Don't forget that the first one was based on a character model that was initially supposed to be in the film. Xeno the Hedgehog 03:37, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Legends figure

I've seen pics of the Legends class Arcee figure. It looks nothing like her deluxe figure, save for its color, but is structurally identical to the deluxe Chromia figure. Xeno the Hedgehog 02:55, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Arcee's dead

In a commentary in the ROTF DVD, Michael Bay admitted that Arcee and her other components are dead. They were killed in the battle at the Pyramids of Giza.

[edit] Who shot her

While it wasn't made clear who shot the first one, it wasn't the Bonecrusher like one that took out the second one, it was a Decepticon protoform that was nearby. I watched that closley. Ironhide killed the protoform afterwards.--WarGrowlmon18 03:44, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
