A full team of combining fembots which is a first for the Transformers brand. WE did it, everyone! We had our voices heard and in a sign of changing times, we have female characters finally making an impact along with the male characters. It's about doggone time and well overdue.
Here's the snippet confirming this info:
And for the '80s generation now having their own children, especially dads with daughters, "it's very important for them to have strong female characters so that they can relate and bridge that love with their kids," adds Mairghread Scott, a writer for the animated series as well as IDW's Transformers: Windblade comics.
Windblade means a lot to fans because, well, they helped build her last year through polls to determine her personality traits and abilities. And Victorion, a new "Combiner" Transformer comprised of six different female Autobots and a result of another recent fan-built poll, is rolling out in the July comic Transformers: Combiner Hunters and debuting in toy form in the near future.
