** In the above Marvel story, Arcee was actually created, in story, as female to respond to the sexism that [[Straw Feminist|people]] saw in the perception of the Autobots as male. When the same writer (Simon Furman) introduced Arcee into the IDW transformers universe, it was presented as an experiment by [[Mad Scientist|Jhiaxus]] to introduce gender into the formerly genderless species. The default remained 'male', while she got the female referents. [[Unfortunate Implications|She also went somewhat insane.]]
