Well if it’s any insurance, the phrase Ara Ara does not mean anything sexual, it just is an expression like well well or my mind or oh my, which can be used in a flirtatious manner, but the phrase itself is not. Example on how it could be used in a flirtatious manner: “My my, your streak is quite cunning” But of course, it could be used in other contexts

@@SJHFoto That's an in-story thing that has nothing to do with why there are females, not a writing decision. They didn't have to make female GoBots for a male focused toy line. Obviously Transformers didn't need to have them be cyborgs in order to do it either, they just had to create female programmed robots. The only reason they didn't do it is because they thought their audiences would go "Ewww! Girls! Keep their cooties away from me!" Writers for the show and comic books certainly didn't agree with that notion and wanted female robots. I often wonder how Hasbro allowed as many females into GI Joe back in the 80's, lol.

Thanks. I agree about how female Transformers have been drawn in comics lately really takes away their features. Arcee's softer face is so SQUARE and her frame so boxy in the new IDW. It just doesn't look right for the character. As for other Transformers, I would disagree about males not looking like males. Take a look at G1 Optimus Prime. The windows are clearly shaped like pecs and the grill from the truck is his abs. VERY super hero like.

My favorite version of Arcee, is her G1 incarnation, and I'm excited that she's getting two new toy versions of herself. Oh, and by the way, Rodimus, Happy Anniversary, to you, and your wife.

I'm honestly torn between Prime's and G1's Arcee. They were both so good.
@warlordsquerk5338 2 жыл бұрын
They're both great characters. The G1 version is the real Arcee, as she is not just a great fighter, but radiates warmth and compassion. The Prime one I feel is a different character. She's not Arcee to me (too cold and too much a tomboy to be her), but still a fantastic character in her own right.

Arcee's role in G1 Season 3 and TF Prime became similar to G1 Bumblebee's. Her best iterations arguably were a main friend of a human child charcter who had the caring and compassion you alluded to..It worked well with both the kindest(G1) and toughest(TFP) versions of Arcee. TF Prime having each human paired closely with certain Autobots went all in on the concept and reflected the importance of the partnership. It was Nebulon/ Human - Transformer Headmaster like relationships between Raphael-Bumblebee, Miko-Bulkhead and Jack- Arcee minus transforming exosuits.. The iterations that went with human robot best friends just felt more like staying true to the old G1 Spike-Bumblebee days . Loved the retrospsctive! Happy 10th Mr and Mrs Rodimus Primal!

Obviously, G1 Arcee is the sweetest, the sharpest and the best! TF: PRIME Arcee is a close second, and her rivalry with Airachnid was the stuff of legend! The IDW version, however - though I love and respect Simon Furman - was the worst---psychopathic transgen Arcee was revolting. Still, I'm thankful for his U.K. comic representation of her, giving her much-needed love. And I'll always wish that Dreamwave hadn't gone under because I was aching to see where they would have gone with Arcee and the other fembots. I'm glad this retrospective was such a labour of love for you, Rodimus. Happy Anniversary to you and your wife! TILL TWO ARE ONE!! ❤❤

Definitely excited for the Arcee Masterpiece, and hoping one day for a complete Masterpiece lineup of the "new generation" G1 characters (Springer, Blur, Kup, etc.) as the 1986 movie was the one that introduced me to the Transformers all those years ago. ALSO, happy 10th anniversary to you and your wife!
