Genders are no more pointless than personalities, humanoid forms, human-like faces, and human-like voices that speak in English, but they serve the same purpose: giving the robots more character. Otherwise, you've got a cartoon about industrial robots beeping at each other.

When they do a female figure, it's usually very obviously female, like Prime Arcee, 2007 Movie Arcee, or Animated Blackarachnia.

Or Strika.

Well, everytime we've heard a Vehicon talk and grunt and stuff, it's in a male voice, so that sorta disproves of it.

not at all. maybe the girly-bots just like sounding tough, or maybe the EVIL Decepticons don't let the females speak. oooh, subtext! :KREMZEEK:

Extremely well-played.

While I agree that in the show there are no genders, I can see the OP's point. The new one does look to have very feminine hips and thighs. I could see it as a potential future Botcon exclusive. New head, done up in pink and white, and we finally have our car Arcee.

It's not female, it's just show accurate and misses the kibble that made the first one so broad.

no, not at all.
