Arcee was initially set to be in the 2007 Transformers film, but due to fan complaints was dropped from the script and replaced with Ironhide. Arcee was also left out due to lack of time to explain the presence of a female in a robotic race. Before she was dropped, her alternate mode was slated to be a Buell Firebolt motorcycle. Crap. I would have loved to seen a firebolt transformer in the new movie. |

You know, I sold my Sportster because everyone called it a chick's bike. Now I find out my Firebolt is a chick bike too? Not cool... |

I just noticed the pic of the Arcee in bike form is a mirror image, everything's on the wrong side. I like it, for a chic, but it looks cool. |

She needs a backpack made of Ulysses bags . Sweet though . If the toy looked like a Buell I'd buy one. |

Citroen have been showing transformer ads for their C4 model for a couple of years now. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Citroe n+C4&search=Search |

I got the toy, it's definitely the Buell Firebolt. Has the ZTL front disks, etc. But obviously they took "artistic liberties" with the bike. Looks chain drive, and it's on the wrong side, just like the mirrored picture above. I'll post a picture, if I can ever get it folded back up. My 6 year old daughter loves it. She was just complaining 2 days ago that "transformers are for boys". But now she won't let me have this one back. |

The only thing about the above that resembles a Buell are the rims, the brake and possibly the frame. |

wicked front fairing, though. i always thought a more angular buell would look more aggressive. |

Here's a pic of the previous Arcee bike design. The 1st model ever was actually a pink flying car.
