We finally unlocked the Star Saber in Earth Wars so of course we gave it to Arcee! Note the only other thing you can give her the Star Saber in without coming up with Saber stats yourself (which you'd have to for the TTRPG at the moment in early June 2024, you can give her the Forge of Solus Prime though and there is a free Arcee pregen character sheet along with other bonus material if you want to play her without figuring out initial stats) is the Transformers Deck-Building Game (cooperative or competitive) with the core Autobot set (in order to have her character card) and the core Decepticon set (for the Star Saber, iirc, if for some reason its not there its in the War for Cybertron expansion which we'd recommend anyway). It's just, so cool to have art from assets in a videogame showing her wielding it. Before we get to most of the equip animation (we didn't snag the 'bring it' hand wave motion one at the end, you can see most of this in her idle animation in-game though), we want to show one other photo prior to the keep reading:

We're particularly fond of this one because it looks like she's giving a star saber powered thumbs up hehe. very in character. Here's the stills in sequence:

Love that the War on Cybertron expansion to the trans Transformers Deckbuilding Game (in the base game you can play sword-wielding Arcee and acquire the Matrix of Leadership and her idw1 swords and jetpack etc, Arcana Magnus ftw all the art of her in the game except her player character stuff is EXRID trans Arcee) with more gals e.g. Slipstream, Elita One, and Windblade is slated to come out during one of the queer months (all months are queer but you know) either June (when Pride is celebrated in some parts of the world) or July (which is the Wrath month that follows) which fits really well lmao. Sure it may not have been ‘intentionally planned’ to release during a recognized month but also like Transformers is just permanently trans & expansive and same-aesthetic love now has been for years so... shrugs a box of queer-equivalent robots at war over autonomy and hierarchy in June/July is well, a nice thing to have happening while we live in society as it is-

If Anode, Lug, Howlback, Archadis, or Overlord are in the game not to mention Acid Storm it would make our day, like we don’t expect Nightshade Malto because it’s a Cybertron themed expansion and they’ve been doing comic art so far from what we can tell (only have the base game with the 1st booster currently but want to get the expansions) not to mention Aileron or Greenlight or Lancer or Gauge

we could also get into our thoughts on capitalism and the current flailing desperate ramp up of hate by reactionaries but everyone already knows what we think so sigh we are just happy about this transforming robot cardboard box, plastic, and cards game with little pink cubes and tokens okay like it’s just funny to us because the box has no typical rainbow marketing on it BUT IT IS A BOX OF TRANS GAY and to us it is also a contextualized blorbo box so of course we want it.

Anyway a dear friend commented before we felt we may as well post these thoughts on the open wide internet after showing this to them that:

well idk about anyone else but my reaction is definitely "that is a pretty funny coincidence"

this seems like the kind of coincidence where it almost feels like someone behind the scenes who knows the media pushed for this

like, theyre not totally blind to fandom reactions to how theyve handled arcee since idw1 right

We have to agree, remembering the twitch stream of showing off the TTRPG character building before it was released if was very clear that sword warrior Arcee was beloved and someone they wanted to mention and uh well you need only look at Transformers media from after IDW1 was over to see how EXRID has left a mark for the better.

We really want to buy this thing ;-; hopefully we will be able to
