I've been really getting into bikeformers lately, and I think Prime Arcee might be one of my least favorites design wise? Like, it's not a bad design, but she doesn't really hit any of my bikeformer prefrences?

Take Earthspark Thrash for example. He's a small, lanky bot with comparatively large wheels, and you can see the major bits of his alt mode. His gas tank split in half to form his arms, his seat and exhaust pipes are crammed up on his back, and the front of the motorcycle becomes his chest.

And Arcee kinda hits those?A little? She's easily the smallest bot in the series, but still pretty big for someone who turns into a motorcycle. Her wheels are small to the point where I hardly notice the wheels in her legs most of the time. You can kinda see other bike bits? At least in how the front forms the chest and how her winglets end up on the sides of the bike. idk, she just doesn't really scream motorcycle to me.

#transformers #transformers prime #arcee #afternoon ramblings #idk i was watching that video of every transformation in prime again and it got me thinking #cos like #the other autobots are all very clearly wearing their alt modes to the point where someone who isn't familiar with prime could probably #guess what they turn into #or at least some of them #but at first glance arcee doesn't really even look like she transforms #tbf megatron doesn't either but he at least has the excuse of not turning into an earth thing?#animated flareup looks more motorcycle-y than tfp arcee and she doesn't even transform in that series
