Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

I couldn't agree more.
The other part that dampers my excitement is that I don't believe that RID will stay on the air long enough to get to the Windblade episode

Why do you say that?
Because it's on cartoon network?
The episode is already animated so it's going to air regardless.
Does nobody know how television works?

To be fair though, several filmed episodes of firefly were never aired.

We already know what their alt modes will be since it was voted for and chosen. Just read the previous pages of this thread. Each of these is coming from a mold that is already coming out.
Oh and I will follow the advice and stay positive. It could well be that Hasbro will be really good at retooling and making shells that make these fembots truly a toy of their own.

You've obviously never dealt with TV networks or especially anything Turner, such as Cartoon Network, have you? Just because something is animated or filmed or whatever, doesn't mean it will make it to air. Nothing has a guarantee.
A perfect example? Firefly. The series was killed with like 3 or 4 episodes in the can, ready to air that never made it onto Fox's schedule. That's just one I can think of offhand, but there are plenty that never make it to air, so people being concerned is not unreasonable.
Same goes for movies, too. Movies end up ready to go, can't find a distributor and either go direct to video or never make it to the public. I'll bet if we dug in the archives of film studios and TV networks, we might find gold that never ever made it to the public.

While Firefly was awesome it was life action.
mirageandjazz1197 wrote:I'm so very disappointed that the new combiner is female.
Hopefully we don't get a third fan made bot either that or have no gender option and have the next one be male for once.
Probably going to be called sexist for this but its not like I hate female transformers or anything I'm just annoyed that the fan made ones are always female it reminds me of awful Deviantart OCs.

william-james88 wrote:While this is great news, I cannot help but feel that this was planned all along. Jerry Jivoins said in all his intereviews that the combiner "could" be female well before the vote ever went live.

DUDE. The only freaking way Transformers is going to appeal to a wider audience beyond older fans and 6-12 year-olds is if they diversify their cast of characters to appeal to those of the opposite sex. I love OCs if they are well thought out. Take Mindmaster (creation of Mindmaster), normally I scoff at OC bots, but he's got a huge backstory for him and a defined personality! Now obviously Mindmaster is not a female character, but I've seen a number of interesting female OC Transformers on DA and other art sites. These characters are sometimes given a unique personality or backstory, but they are sometimes created with not much development and are just intended to be "shipped" with a favorite male character.

Okay total noob question here but I'm still relatively new to posting here. Where exactly are these older pages of this thread? I can't seem to find the link to them.
That Bot wrote:Do you know why people are voting for females? Because there are so few female characters in Transformers fiction. There are about a hundred major male characters and only 10 or so major female ones across all iterations of the franchise. In a given series, maybe 2 characters out of a cast of dozens will be female. If Transformers are going to be an analogue for human problems (which they are), they should represent humanity a little better.
