The more stickers, the better.

G1 Arcee should remain pink, while every other new Arcee will be blue.

Yes. One detached.

That is correct. The arm simply snaps in. The SDCC version appears to come fully assembled.

She does appear to be the pink version. These images looked rehashed from somewhere. Is this artwork from the old Dreamwave guidebook?

Kinda, Optimus has the exact same pose as he does on the advertisement for Ongoing #01, but seem to be redrawn, as it's missing all the shadows.

It's the proper shape, just not the proper size if you don't want to bend the sticker.
You line it properly(have the orange part centered), then press it into the space(the black parts end up on the walls). At least that's how I did mine.

And aside from 94/95 being a mess, #39 is laughably catastrophic! It's clearly too large, and rather than point that out, the instructions sheet tells you to just sort of DRAPE it over the head/shoulder area.
Look, I'll cut Hasbro some slack and say they don't typically have sticker applications... but, wait... they sell other toys with stickers (i.e. some stickers on SW vehicles). So... ????
For $130 retail, I expect a certain level of quality control, and 4-5 mistakes on a sheet of 150+ stickers is only okay for a start-up, not a multi-billion corporation like Hasbro. Seriously. Get this sh*t together, bro.
EDIT: Nevermind... #39 wraps around the helipad in a weird way that requires you to open up the helipad chest.
Dear Hasbro: this is exactly how NOT to do a sticker instruction sheet. Holy god were the base mode sticker applications confusing...
