Cybertron's Eve
The Cybertronian who would become known as Arcee was the unwilling subject of an experiment conducted by Nova Prime's chief scientist, Jhiaxus. Out of sheer curiosity, Jhiaxus had decided to introduce gender to the Cybertronian species. He tampered with Arcee's CNA. altering her into a female. The results apparently did not live up to his hopes, and he abandoned her soon after.The ordeal proved to be extremely traumatizing for Arcee. Her mind struggled to process the changes that had been inflicted on her. She was now strangely different from other Cybertronians, and they could subconsciously sense it. Rather than refer to her with the usual pronoun of "he", her fellow Cybertronians and Autobots consistently referred to her as "she" without even considering what that meant. Arcee's inability to cope gave way to an endless violent rage towards Jhiaxus, and she began hunting him and all of his experiments through the universe.
Arcee's Rampage
Arcee's quest for vengeance on Jhiaxus tore a swath of violence and destruction through the universe so fierce that her fellow Autobots could no longer condone her actions. Ultra Magnus came after her to bring her to justice for the crimes she had committed. The two Autobots met in a stellar cartography facility Jhiaxus was secretly using as one of his many labs, and Arcee refused to surrender peacefully. Though stunned by how powerfully she fought, Ultra Magnus succeeded in bringing her down with a shock grenade.Arcee was brought to an Autobot penitentiary on Garrus-9 called the Last Resort, where she was stripped down to her spark and locked away. She found some measure of peace and harmony during her incarceration, floating in a simple stasis field.
Unleashed
When a Decepticon strike team hit the Last Resort to retrieve the Monstructor gestalts, the Autobot defenders were outgunned. Fortress Maximus felt he had no option but to release Arcee, who was the Autobot with the highest threat level being held in the penitentiary. At first, Arcee asked why she should care about the Decepticon attack. Fort Max informed her that the gestalts were another one of Jhiaxus' experiments, and that proved to be all she needed to know. She went into battle against the Combaticons who were overrunning the prison. She turned the tide against their assault, but they were still able to teleport out with the Monstructor gestalts. In the aftermath, she convinced Fort Max and Jetfire that she was their best agent to track down the gestalts, because like Jhiaxus and all of his experiments, they gave off a feeling she could track.Arcee began tracking down Banzaitron, the Decepticon who took the Monstructor gestalts, by catching up to the freelance Decepticon operatives he used for the attack. One by one, she tortured information on Banzaitron's whereabouts from them until it all led her to a cavern where Banzaitron, Axer and Gutcruncher had been left damaged in an attack. At her mercy, Banzaitron tried to make a deal with her to help locate the missing gestalts and possibly Jhiaxus. She eagerly accepted.
However, Banzaitron's help was not as necessary as she thought. As a looming crisis progressed, the Autobots discovered Jhiaxus' location and needed someone they could spare to teleport in and deal with him. Arcee was the clear choice. Skram was sent by Fort Max to retrieve her, and she was sent in to ambush Jhiaxus. Jhiaxus tried to flee from her through the pool that leads back to the Dead Universe, but the Autobot Hardhead rose from the Dead Universe and blocked him. This was long enough for Arcee to run her sword through Jhiaxus from behind and hack his head off. Hardhead informed her that Jhiaxus was effectively immortal, but this was fine with Arcee. It meant she could kill him again and again, which was exactly what she did.
