Arcee, the only female Transformer in the film series thus far will be making her debut in Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen this summer, even though she was part of the original concept designs for the first Transformers. Rumor is that amongst the giant Transformers in one, Arcee would have been underwhelming and SHORT, ‘cuz a motorcycle makes a human-sized Transformer.

Also cut from one was the Aircraft Carrier Transformer, so it doesn’t pay to be big. And the next smallest Transformer in the first film was Jazz, who got ripped in half.

Here’s what I learned today: If you’re a black, female or small Transformer, your life ain’t worth much…

From MTV:

“You know what? I didn’t like Arcee,” the filmmaker revealed exclusively to us Thursday night, “so I kill her later, all right?”

We caught up with the outspoken filmmaker at ShoWest, where he received a Director of the Year award…

“You know what? It’s like actors,” he explained, comparing his Transformers to flesh-and-blood stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. “There are certain actors that blossom on screen, and there are certain others where you’re like, ‘Yuck, I’m cutting them out of the movie.’ ”

So Bay decided to kill Arcee — a pink motorcycle who can be glimpsed in the movie’s trailer during a chase scene in Japan. As some fans might remember, the death of Jazz in Bay’s first “Transformers” film not only served as a reminder of the severity of the robot war, but also became one of the film’s most touching moments. In the sequel, however, Bay was so eager to kill off Arcee that he had no desire to milk the moment for emotional impact.

“This isn’t sad,” he grinned, discussing Arcee’s sudden death. “This is just ‘get it out and get it over with.’ ”

Bay also shot down the long-simmering rumor that Fox will be seen riding Arcee and doing some female bonding with the character. “No,” he insisted. “She has nothing to do with Megan.”

Ok, so he killed of the black one (Jazz) and the chick one (Arcee). Weird, Bay, weird.
