it was so brilliantly metatextual for Elita to punch Shockwave in the face and for him to then recognize her authority (due to the High Guard's trauma-learned might makes right ethos) in Transformers One. still not over what a letter of recognition that was to Elita and in a way, completely not related to the film's actual plot, to the conflict between (Decepticon) misogyny and transformer gals that's flared on and off for decades since 1985 (really, 1984, if you count plot dynamics in the first draft of TFTM between Arcee and Wheeljack and other things we may not be aware of from the og script).

this movie was so good. want to get it on dvd so much.

what a 40th anniversary, honestly

Yoshimi doesn’t know much about her origins. She can probably guess she was designed to kill people in some manner, given how her build seems tailor-designed to fit into small spaces with an absurd amount of strength for her spindly appearance.

But, being she woke up in an alleyway somwhere with her chassis scratched to hell and a card with a decent amount of cash on it; she presumes somebody; somewhere scuppered that malarkey.

So, now she exists in the world, making her way with her plasmic-electric death whip that can slice through solid metal and a rock-n-roll dream in her heart.

She’s a huge fan of heavy metal, and a pretty good musician/composer at that. She’s an on-again off-again band member with Love Buster, and tends to get dragged into her adventures every now and again.

Her personality can be summed up as “chill and placid, but capable of great bursts of speed and passion.” The boobs, BTW, were her idea for an addition. As a means of self-expression.

Though she can take them off when she wants and tends to vary up the filling-material; from electro-responsive nanofluid to mimetic polyalloy to good ol fashioned explosives for a nasty surprise...

EGREGIOUS JUSTIFICATIONS ASIDE, as per usual with my TITLEWave characters, she is free to use as you see fit under a CC-BY-Vanilla license so long as I; Thomas F. Johnson, am credited as their creator!

And, if you wanna support me, maybe check out my Patreon, which I previewed this design on yesterday, or even just send a Ko-Fi my way! Every penny is appreciated, and I am eternally grateful for those who donate!

And, for the record, yes she was named after that one Flaming Lips song. Which, ironically, is probably exact opposite of the sort of music she super likes...

seeing (prime) arcee(s) happy doth improveth mood in the face of how stressful the world can be. this dance is from Transformers Prime Season 2 Episode 21 "Alpha/Omega" about six minutes in (@skyebugart helped us re-find the episode!)

glad missing link sentinel prime was budgeted because also a perfect yellow splendid convoy / tf universe repurpose where really all we'd have to repaint if we wanted is the face, hands, and ankles

Finished our first of many prototype colors Arcees (yes we do plan on selling some!)! Holding her is like holding a piece of the 80s our eldest never knew existed that she would have been endeared to had she known sooner. we were also reminded of how we have met people young and older through this fandom, some joining this year or who were around to witness its beginning and follow it along, and we are so glad to have met so many people who are so kind and understanding through this and share some of the joys we do as we learn together and build off each other. she also reminds us a part of us that our eldest hadnt figured out until later, and this was the first tangible sense of continuity we've had in homaging the human side of 'we have always been here, we always will be' regarding lesbians, sapphics and trans people (prototype Arcee's design colors had orange decades before lesbian flags would or idw1 Arcee kissing Aileron). almost teared up :3

Also she looks kind of like a moth in bot mode with the back of her car on what with the orange round wheel guards and we love this for her

lowkey thinking about writing solus as somebody who made herself into a transtector so she actually will take on a variety of frames from across what she finds euphoric, as sort of also a fourth wall commentary on there not being a baseline body for gal transformers and also how she approaches robot aesthetics in a way many humans don't.

her view on alt modes in this case for herself is kind of all four of the reasons presented by earthspark season 1:

-accident but I like it

-disguise

-for protecting others and yourself

-expressing your true self
