Movie Arcee: Car 'Reformat'

Description

Here's a link to a picture of the Vehicle I chose for her: The Mazda "Furai" concept vehicle: [link]

***EDIT: It should be noted that the spikey thing at the top of the Right leg (Her Left) is actually her knee-cap and not her thigh. I think I confused some folks with the forced perspective a bit... ^^;

This is THE project that I have been thinking about since shortly after I saw the "Revenge of the Fallen" film this past summer, and have been slowly developing for about the last month-or-so, and finally slaving over for the last week-or-so.

This is my ULTIMATE movie-style Arcee.

As far as the design goes, the project was driven by an aesthetic theory that contains within it elements from:
Pretty much every version of Arcee ever, Movie Megatron, and the most important female name in video gaming: Samus Aran.

The things I'm perhaps most proud of are that I was able to incorporate the Furai's flowing aesthetic into the robot mode, and that I managed to come away with a bot that looks elegant, but not dainty; well armored but still feminine.
In fact the only thing I may change in the future is that the spoiler is just kind of stuck to the side of her leg; it would probably be much cooler if it split in half and converted into a pair of katanas or something.
Of course that would make her current melee weapon redundant, and it does look quite cool, does it not?

As far as the characterization goes, I kind of billed this to people as being the "Movie Version" of "Spotlight Arcee"; (you know, the homicidal one?) but with a desire to try to be a good pers...er... robot in spite of psychosis and the fact that someone has attempted to reformat her into a living weapon.
It's the one thing I really disliked about spotlight arcee; she didn't have any kind of conscience really. So take "Spotlight" Arcee, give her a... uh... "Humane"(?) core and combine that with what you know about how I've been portraying Arcee in my comics, and you should be pretty close to what I hope to do with the character.... ya know... assuming I actually get around to writing a story for her. ^^;

It'll be awesome if you drew both Optimus Prime Age of Exinction/The Last Knight and Arcee together
