20 Things You Didn't Know About Transformers
15. Arcee Was Cut As The Writers Couldn't Explain Robot Genders
This is an odd one. Famous original Autobot Arcee was cut from the final shooting script as the writers didn't want to spend time justifying the gender of the Transformers to the audience.
While this is a seemingly innocuous explanation, it makes little sense considering the original series never felt the need to justify the existence of gender among the robots and just included both male and female Transformers.
It seems the writers eventually caught on to this as Arcee makes an appearance in the sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, although her screen time is shared with her twins and is severely limited.
