The Transformers: Spotlight - Arcee

by Alex Milne

Presenting the latest one-shot focusing on some of the best-loved (or loathed) characters from the Transformers Universe. The spotlight falls on ARCEE, Autobot by allegiance but utterly mad, bad, and dangerous to know! Driven by personal demons, waging a war against an enemy that may only exist in her head, Arcee is considered too dangerous to ever be let loose. But desperate times call for desperate measures!

Rubbish. Basura. Garbage. They chose to explain the first, and for a long time only, female Transformer character by giving her a backstory in which she is a result of a forced gender reassignment procedure. Which turns her into a bloodthirsty lunatic hellbent on killing - she's even drawn with fangs! Her "rehab" story is paralleled with Monstructor - the combiner made of MONSTER bots - also a result of "deviant" experimentation. The misogyny is deep with this one. What an embarrassment. Shite.

what a weird source of gender envy.
