      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

    The Prime iteration is my personal favorite. She’s like a ninja with her speed and blades. Plus her cold on the outside, warm on the inside demeanor made for some really good interactions. It’s almost like they combined the motherly and witty G1 Arcee with the brutal and vengeful IDW Arcee. (Without the bad writing)
    Btw good vid.

    • @RodimusPrimal
      @RodimusPrimal  4 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      Thanks. I prefer the G1 overall because she's the best balance of all other iterations. Prime is my second because she's awesome, but her blue color scheme and attitude remind me of Chromia and not Arcee. I do not like the IDW comics character at ALL.

      ​@@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.

Obviously she was introduced to fans after Season 2, but it would have been nice to see her as a minor character in the background or even have a single line, considering the movie was in development before the Season 2 episode was animated.

    I had no issue with Arcee, but Chromia was my favourite femme. It took a while for the movie to be released in New Zealand in such a format that I could manage to see it, so for the longest time, I only had the season 2 episode to go by. And as a girl it was kinda big deal that they had femmes now. When you're a little kid you really don't care about the logic of gender in alien robots.

    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!

      I do not get it either (resp. not entirely). In fact, I find that the Transformers femmes in IDW look more and more masculine (at least in my opinion). Which I personally find very sad. I am also a female Transformers fan (for many years now) and find feminine or even sexy looking femmes very appealing. And why not ?! As long as they have an interesting personality/character/story, there's nothing wrong with that.

    • @RodimusPrimal
      @RodimusPrimal  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

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.

    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.

    Ah, Arcee. A very popular character that rarely gets handled well.
    I loved the Sunbow and Marvel G1 versions. Even to this day, I feel this is the best version of Arcee. And we should thank Ron Friedman for fighting for her inclusion in the movie. Although I felt most of the introduced characters were one-dimensional in the movie, the one without a toy actually had the most depth. I just love how friendly, kind and relatable she was. It's just whack that they put her original relationship with Hot Rod/Rodimus aside and had her hang out with Springer (again, I always felt Springer was a lame character). I feel the Rodimus/Arcee relationship is a lot more interesting and compelling (especially in the Marvel UK comics), whereas whenever she was with Springer, I was more focused on how Arcee had the better jokes than the lame-o Triple Changer.
    Space Pirates was always one of my favorite stories in the UK series, and the relationship between Roddy and Arcee was just perfectly handled in that.
    Headmasters was the first major downgrade in the show. She is just bland and didn't do anything at all. Extremely forgettable.
    I liked Dreamwave Arcee at first, but I really wasn't thrilled when she started hanging out with Springer.
    Energon Arcee was kinda okay, but a bit forgettable.
    TFA Arcee was a waste of a very good Susan Blu. She just does nothing other than be a glorified plot device.
    Movie Arcee was, once again, forgettable.
    IDW Arcee was the first of two Arcees that I absolutely hated. I just really disliked how she was handled in that one and it really left a bitter taste in my mouth.
    The TFP version... seriously, I hate her. I just felt her PTSD was handled pretty badly and her constant whining just made me dislike her a whole lot. I always found her insufferable and her emotional moments really felt incredibly tacked on and flat. I could go on talking about how much I hate this version, but I'll leave it at that.
    Cyberverse Arcee was fine... but I really felt she should have been Nautica instead. The whole partying attitude and youthful excitement really reminds me more of Nautica than Arcee. But even then, I like her and she is a close second to the G1 version, which is sad because it is the only version since the Sunbow and Marvel G1 ones that I've liked.
