The system needed to be standardized, Mr. Tieger explained, and Arcee would not work here.

During her preview of the Transformers Fall of Cybertron campaign, ladywreck also exclaimed her disappointment, explaining that "the reason being obviously the ladyformers have a smaller frame, or a more streamlined look, and they couldn't make it comparable to the other four basic body types" of Scientist, Titan, Destroyer, and Infiltrator.

Transformers Fall of Cybertron hits stores on August 21, 2012 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and the PC.
