Revenge of the Fallen Arcee

[Nathan]

I wouldn't mind to have Arcee as a bike. For anyone complaining that she'd be too small or weak, take a look at the new Transformers Animated cartoon. Prowl is just a Police Motorcycle, he's small, but he kicks butt. I'd love to see a sleek, quick and deadly Arcee similar to Prowl from the new cartoon.

Yeah, Prowl's my fav character in the new toon. I wouldn't mind him being a bike either lest he comes off as Barricade's cop car brother.

I don't mind Arcee as a bike myself. In fact, I would love to see Elita-One in the sequel as maybe a high-speed pink Plymouth Prowler, and that Arcee and Elita-One are sisters.

Arcee's design is done anyway.

So three things could happen:
1. Arcee is redesigned as a car (as Bay eventually found a motorcycle-sized robot too small, he had the same beef with Jazz's form).
2. She is not in the sequel.
3. Bay spends lots of money on a new design for her, as a car.

I think the excuse that she is "too small" is BS. Size doesn't matter - she's fast and small, that's her advantage. Bay didn't have a problem with a 3-foot-tall Frenzy, and he turned out to be one of the most destructive TFs in the entire film.

^Exactly.

Personally, I half-expect Arcee to be among the new Autobots introduced in TF2. The writers have said in the past that they like the character, and Orci recently said at the Don Murphy message boards that TF's cut from the first film were going to appear in the sequel.

And while I've never cared much for the character myself, I don't really care if she is included. The reason why I personally didn't want here in TF1 was because since we were only getting five Autobots, I felt that there were others that should appear before her. Like I said in another thread, as long as guys like Shockwave and Prowl (both were cut from the first film) are brought in, I don't care who else is introduced on both sides.
