Arcee is the smallest and the thinnest of the Autobots, though is by no means the weakest. She transforms into a motorcycle of unknown make. In her robot form, she is mainly a dark blue in color, with parts of silver and black from her vehicle form. She has highlights of a very light pink on her legs, arms and head, the latter parts being two pieces of metal that frame her face, and a straight piece that goes upward, with a small red jewel placed into the bottom of it. Unlike the other Autobots, her optics are blue with a purple ring around them, though they are still black around the outside. On her back are two small, wing-like parts, one of which has the Autobot logo on it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH

Personality: A former scout on Cybertron before the Great Exodus, Arcee is the least physically-imposing of Optimus Prime's crew, but she's also Optimus's most reliable soldier, his go-to gal when he needs someone he can count on. Whatever she lacks in physical form she more than makes up for it in force of personality. She is tough as nails at all times, always ready with a snarky quip even in the face of deactivation, not afraid to bend the rules every now and then, and seemingly never, ever scared.
And while that is largely true, and makes her an incredibly dangerous opponent (especially in melee combat, her specialty), that force of will is also a bit of a front. The loss of a partner back on Cybertron rattled her, leading her towards a path of going it alone. And when she finally started opening up to another partner on Earth, losing him shook her to her core. To then be immediately saddled with the task of being the "guardian" for Jack Darby, one of the locals accidentally caught up in the struggle on Earth, well, let's just say she was less than thrilled about that.
Okay, she was openly verbally hostile to Jack over the whole thing, but her loyalty to Optimus kept her from refusing the task. Like it or not, she's his guardian, and she's going to protect that boy's life... with her own, if she has to. Slowly, but surely, Arcee is coming around again and facing her past demons. Jack's bravery and ingenuity even when in mortal peril is growing on her. Who knows. He might make a good partner.
Strengths: Arcee's speciality is melee combat, with her arm blades ready to appear and slice up any Decepticon in her way. She's also a fairly good Scout, and often accompanies Bumblebee on various missions against the Decepticons.
Weaknesses: Her main weakness is Airachnid. Like Bulkhead with Breakdown, she cannot control herself around the spider femme, determined to get revenge for the loss of Tailgate, even when Optimus tries to council her. Mentioning Cliffjumper also tends to get her angry. She doesn't particularly want to lose Jack either, but she wouldn't like to say that out loud.------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE SKELETONS IN YOUR CLOSET
Family: Unknown
Partner: Tailgate (Deceased), Cliffjumper (Deceased), Jack Darby
History: Back on Cybertron, Arcee was a skilled Scout partnered with an Autobot warrior named Tailgate. During a mission, she was forced to break rank and engage a sniper that he had failed to tag. On her return journey, she was captured by Airachnid, who demanded information on the Autobots. Arcee wasn't one to crack, so much to her horror, Tailgate himself was brought in, heavily beaten and battered. Confessing that she didn't know what Airachnid wanted didn't help, and her partner was killed right in front of her. Cliffjumper and Bumblebee came to rescue her a few moments later, and Airachnid got away, leaving Arcee hysterical that she couldn't save Tailgate.
After some time trying to open up to others around her, she was eventually partnered with Cliffjumper, and the two were sent on a spying mission in Kaon. Initially unamused by Cliff's brash nature, she reluctantly agreed to use his ship to go to Earth, though there was still a mission to complete. They discovered Starscream had built a space bridge, and distracted him long enough to escape through it, overloading it as they went.
Starscream wasn't so easily defeated though, and they encountered him again on Earth, resulting in her arm being blown off. Arcee ordered Cliffjumper to find Optimus, and he soon returned with the Autobot Leader and Bumblebee, fending off the Decepticon Seeker and taking the blue femme back to base for repairs. Some time later, on patrol, Cliffjumper found an Energon mine, though was quickly defeated and caught by Vehicons. Starscream got his revenge by murdering him, resulting in the death of Arcee's second partner.
She's gotten used to Jack, though. At first she wasn't particularly keen on having him as a partner so soon after Cliff's death, and was often fairly harsh to him, but his bravery and ingenuity eventually won her over, and now she's quite happy to consider him her partner. She still makes occasional prayers to both Tailgate and Cliffjumper, though it would be wrong to assume that she is any weaker because of it; you might just be in for a surprise.------------------------------------------------------------------------------IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?
Weaponry: Blasters and arm blades on both of her arms. Her speed could also possibly be counted as a weapon.
Extra: Despite having another partner to take her mind off of things, Arcee is still prone to having nightmares about the deaths of both Tailgate and/or Cliffjumper. The severity of the nightmare is random, changing from quite sad to full on scarring, and on some occasions it takes her a while to fully wake from them.------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT MESometimes her dreams were good. Sometimes they were blissful memories that made her sad yet happy at the same time. Memories of her first partner, Tailgate. Memories of her second partner, Cliffjumper. Memories of Jack, her recent partner. She could handle those. She preferred them, obviously, and was thankful when she had them. But sometimes there were nightmares. They ranged from somewhat sad to the point where she was screaming hysterically.
This was one of those times.
Airachnid had her in bounds, unable to assist her partner as the spider femme approached him with a malevolence that not even Megatron himself could match in her processor. Tailgate looked beaten up enough, but Airachnid didn't intend on torture. A violent hiss escaped the Decepticon's vocal processor, and one of her legs struck, slicing Tailgate's chest clean open and causing his Energon to splatter on the wall.
~"TAILGATE!"~ She screamed, as she always had done, thrashing in her bounds, trying to reach Airachnid and claim revenge. But there was something different about this dream. Someone else was here. Her optics searched desperately for the person, and they widened in pure horror when she found them. "J-Jack?" She stammered, this time in English, as her young human partner hung motionless from his own bounds. Airachnid approached him, arched her leg again, plunged it straight into his chest...
"NOOO!" Arcee cried, shooting up from her berth, optics blazing with fear and concern for Jack. It took her a few moments to realize where she was, and even longer to settle down. She swung her legs to hang over the edge of the berth, leaning her head in her servos and covering her face with her digits. Primus knew how many of her comrades she'd woken up with her screaming fit.
