>>8698348>G1 Arcee was such a lazy creation; some underpaid FIlipino pencil-jockey thought about it for 5 minutes before shitting out a pink, metal Princess Leia with car fenders on her shoulders, and now 30 years later, I have to hear an entire fandom of manchildren constantly arguing about which version of her is least-shitty until the end of fucking time.1, the pink aspect was dictated to him by the bosses
2, dery designed all g1 fembots, including chromia, elita1, etc.
The main reason arcee became "woman plus shoulder fenders" was the studio going back and making alterations to make her more animation friendly.
The original arcee concept was pretty sensible, just made for akward movements.
