I am definitely pleased with how multiple established male coded characters have been killed off for Arcee's narrative in Transformers: Prime.

Certainly much better than the narrative treatment of Arcee in Transformers Animated, love that show though I do, and as great as Arcee's plotline in that could potentially have been, if it had ever been allowed to be about Arcee.

Ah ha! Indeed they were, weren't they. I only vaguely remember Arcee's plotline from Animated, but as I recall it was mostly about Ratchet-angst?

Yeeesss. Grievous injury and memory loss - caused by her own heroics! - but the narrative focus was always, yeah, on Ratchet-angst, and there were a lot of shots of her quiescent and mind blowingly vulnerable.

(So much potential! Thrown away!)
