Arcee
Arcee is the first Female Autobot shown on a regular basis in the cartoon
continuities (by "Female Autobot" we refer to a class of Autobots whose bodies and voices resemble those of female humans). She has demonstrated sharpshooting abilities, and transforms
from robot to a car form. There has been speculation that Hot Rod had feelings
for her, but since his transformation into Rodimus Prime in the cartoon, she has
become more affectionate towards Springer. In the US cartoon, she eventually
became a Headmaster, binary-bonding to Daniel
Witwicky.

Beast Wars Addendum:
Rattrap referred to Arcee as his "great-aunt" at one point.

Arcee was introduced to Earth in 1995 to improve relations with the humans, who
saw all existing Transformers as male (when in reality they had no concept of
gender). Shockwave, Fangry, Horri-Bull and Squeezeplay attempted to disrupt the
event, but they were defeated -- Shockwave forced to retreat, the others captured --
largely due to Arcee's fighting alongside the Autobots.
In 2008, the Quintesson Ghyrik invaded Autobot City and shot Arcee. He then used
her as bait to steal the Creation Matrix from Rodimus Prime, whose concern for her
made him remove it from his chest in order to restore her.
At the start of 2009, Arcee was one of the six Autobots who went back to 1989 to
fight Galvatron in the Time Wars. She was also present during Unicron's third
assault on Cybertron in 2010.
