No, I'm saying that the BotCon Arcee toy (a redeco of TM2 Blackarachnia) was a representation of the Gen 1 character.
Which goes against what you said about there being no toy representing your character.
Which means you can't be Arcee.

Grrr. Argh.

*ahem* I mean Arcee.
MV gets it I think... I ignored the earlier mention because of an obvious technicality

Well, no - but you will be eventually. You may be a car, but the BA repaint still represents your character. Bwa ha ha ha ha.

What about the technicality where you buggered up on the answers due to shoddy knowledge?

*pouts*
Ah, I can't stay here all afternoon answering all your little questions anyways! I don't wanna play!
*curls up into fetal position*
Are you an Autobot?
As far as the Arcee controversy goes, I think that even though the Botcon Arcee is pretty well known in the fandom it still doesn't count as a toy because it wasn't mass produced. I could know of someone who made an Impactor, but that doesn't mean Impy has a toy.

Arcee did have a Japanese convention-exclusive toy but there was only one made. I saw a pic of it on the net once, it's beautiful.
[edit] Whoops, missed the first question. No, not an Autobot.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

There's a world of difference between a fan's kitbash and a limited run produced by Hasbro. A convention exclusive may not be mass produced, but neither are the eHobby exclusives, so by your logic Sunstorm doesn't have a toy either.
Grrr. Argh.

That's true, he doesn't, unless you count Universe Sunstorm.
Do YOU have a toy, Emvee?

Would have been included on a technicality. I will rephrase:
Barring MTMTE, did you appear in any of Dreamwave's Transformers comics?

My alt-mode is not a flying vehicle.
I was not (to the best of my knowledge) in a DW comic other than MTMTE.

Is your alternative mode bigger than a breadbox?
Are you Rumble?
Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.
The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.
