I`m aware of most of that

Yeah. Arcee was designed to look like Princess Leia because the original Star Wars Trilogy inspired many of the elements of the Transformers movie. That is why the Transformers movie is conceived in the epic tradition of the Star Wars franchise according to the first theatrical/promotional teaser trailer of the film that is shown to investors. That was the same teaser trailer which features a fair bit of test footage that was either changed or cut before the film’s release, together with a few lines of unique narration by Victor Caroli. This even included the Autobot shuttle being colored very differently, Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime having his Autobot insignia above his flame emblem instead of on it, Blurr painted blue and purple instead of blue and white, Ultra Magnus originally gonna have the same Diaclone colors as Power Convoy A.K.A. Delta Magnus, Autobot City being mostly white like it’s component Metroplex in addition, Unicron in robot mode having an Orange mohawk and has no beard which ends up in one scene of the final film, and the early concept design of the Matrix that Galvatron’s wearing around his neck in this teaser trailer is a a glowing-pink wireframe which may be the bottle/jar holding the Life Spark of Optimus Prime, which was in early version of the film before being replaced and finalized by as the Matrix of Leadership in the final film since Life Sparks were described as small glowing versions of the Transformers to whom they belong. This teaser trailer is actually released during production of the film and based on early draft of the film. It was also the same tease trailer which featured scenes that we would have love to see in the final film such as an extended shot of Unicron opening his maw while head towards the plant Lithone, Unicron’s other pincer piercing the surface of Lithone, Unicron dragging Lithone towards his maw, Unicron’s inner workings have a much more organic appearance to them. Hot Rod, Arcee, and Daniel calling on the holoprojectors while onboard their shuttles, Blurr taking cover from an explosion during the Battle of Autobot City, Ultra Magnus and Preceptor helping Arcee and Springer transform the rest of Autobot City before telling Blaster to radio Optimus Prime on Moonbase One, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and the other Decepticons flying straight towards and past by the camera during the Battle of Autobot City, a deleted shot of Unicron floating through space, the alternate shot of Galvatron standing on top of Unicron who’s maw is close instead of open, Galvatron falling inside Unicron as he Transformers, before reappearing outside of him, and a deleted close up of Galvatron after the narrator/Victor Caroli says “You’ll know you have been watching a movie that is destined to bring back audiences again and again.”

Some things will never change about this fandom, and shipping is definitely one of ’em. :D

Look at Rarity’s expression. I ship them already!

Funnily enough, that`s exactly who Arcee was designed after

Aren’t you a little short to be a pony? (Admit it, she looks like Princess Leia)

Rarity: Guess there’s more to us than meets the-
 
Arcee: If you finish that, I’m outta here…

Title drop.

Rarity: “Also, whoa… I’ve certainly never heard that joke before…”
