The Energon Pub

They should be making a decent Crasher regardless. The digibash of Drag Strip in her colors was decent enough for them to do.

Then again, I'll champion most efforts that releases "go-bots" updates.

Still surprised we never got a Leader-1 from the classics seeker mold.

Would actually like to see HasTak create feminine robots Transformers toys that look like this.

Oh my, those thighs...

Those legs are made for... Earthquakes

@Tsutsukakushi, I actually don't mind the female characters being made out of existing CW molds, I feel like it would add some nice diversity among the arcee-like female bots.

I third that opinion. They don't have to look "female" to be "female".

Y'know what I'd like to see them do with female bot designs? Give them visors, faceplates, mono-eyes, gun-arms, etc.. Little things that are really common among Transformers but not with female ones.

Put me down for some of that too.

Make them Female, just don't make that fact that they are the singular defining characteristic for the characters.

Design them to be interesting characters with different design concepts first who just happen to female.

This is what I was trying to say some pages back. So I'm riding on this "train" with y'all. I also just bought a ticket to ride Noidea's train too.

On the combination you will need different sized bots for the combiner to work. As there are 6 members you'll need some bulk to it in the legs and body so having a Strika sized bot to be the main Torso with a slightly smaller bot to become the chest area would help add mass that Victorion will need to look imposing, then you'll need to have have 2 more Slightly Bulky bots as the legs to hold up the weight of the upper body and then you can have the slender Female design as the arms. You can't have all slender Fembots or the combination wont look right to me.

Well, that's what IDW has done with Arcee, Windblade, Chromia, and Nautica so far, so I imagine that will be what they will do with these new characters.

Yeah, I definitely think IDW has handled those characters well, they never really emphasized the fact that they were female, and they were treated just like male transformers in how they were written. I hope that IDW can introduce some LGBT characters to the franchise in the same way.

Why would that need to happen? Superion works with all medium sized limbs.

They have to some extent. Chromedome and Rewind are a "gay" couple. Brainstorm could be considered bi given his unrequited crush on Quark (and maybe Perceptor) and his apparent burgeoning relationship with Nautica. Arcee could be considred trans since she was born "male" and made "female" by Jhiaxus.

Wow, this is some great news!

Anyway, I am going to attempt to do a mock-up drawing of Victorion & her components(though it may turn out awful, because I'm not the best at drawing).

I've also kinda come up with some predictions for the moulds of her components (Hot-Spot, Rook, Dragstrip, Alpha Bravo, Firefly) and I've even drafted some little bio kinda things that really only tell the personalities of the characters(I probably won't post them here, unless if you guys want to read the kinda crappy little things I wrote). XD

Oh yeah, does anyone else kinda want to see Victorion's members' vehicle modes be a blend of Steampunk & Mad Max? 'Cause I kinda wanna see that.

Any speculation that the 5 new female characters being introduced in the next issue of MTME might just be the Vixens of Victory?

5 of them. One particularly bulky in design... it just screams scramble city team to me.

Plus, then Thunderclash can be like "Enigma of combination? my troops achieved gestalt form centuries back, by perfecting the art of JOLLY CO-OPERATION!". And Roddy's head will swivel.

Guessing it will be these Five Fembots names. As their featured in issue 41 of the IDW Transformers comic.

• Firestar
• Javelin
• Proxima
• Roadmaster
• Velocity

Those five are not this combiner. Victorion is comprised of SIX fembots all based on preexisting CW toy designs. None of those five new fembots are, as they all have original non-toy-based designs.

Nothing says they can be reformatted into CW styled bodies Sabr.

But I agree I do not believe these will be the Combiner characters.

Twould be a criminal waste of such original designs to get so suddenly tossed to the wind in favor of less original preexisting ones.

indeed, but to say it isn't a possible situation is overlooking a potentially likely end game.

I can't argue with either of these statements, but I want to lean harder on Sabr's.
I vote MORE ladies all around!
And boy, Milne's Ladies look sooooo AWESOME!

Been a way from this party so it's good to return to good news like this. Hopefully the new girls can stand the test of time like arce (okay I know that chromia was in the g1 toon as well but arcee is really the only fembot people remember from there).

More new characters (male or female) is always good for a franchise like this.

ZWOLF!!!!!!!
Glad you're back.
