I'm sure Roberts will use hound when he's good and ready, I still don't see why nautica gets signaled out as she's a completely new character with no previous background (or her own miniseries) to draw from. So in order to get to know her we have to have her develop. Ever since MtMtE first started there's always been certain bots getting the spotlight then others...that's just how things are, plus I think you'll be surprised at how many people do like the new characters.

Also, for thunderclash, part of the joke is that you hear a lot about thunderclash but never see him actually do it. It does seem as though your rant is being levelled at the new characters who have been added to help grow the universe and enhance story aspects. It would be boring if it was just the same old war being fought every issue

Nautica is a bad and not an interesting character imo. Dislike new characters? Eh no I llove riptide. Flatline is another character I really enjoy when he pops up and getaway is pretty fun. I'd rather idw showed the lost light more different groups like very convenient for the big fembot push there's now a fembot on board the lost light to make sure we know there's fembots about.

To be more specific, why do you find nautica bad? As I said she needs the spotlight to be able to grow as a character and actually have a history like all the other g1 characters. Though thank you for pointing out riptide as I'd completely forgot about him for a second.

Also I wouldn't say it's a big push for fembots considering that nautica has only been in MtMtE for a year and a bit, and before that she was only introduced in the middle of Dark Cybertron. Plus Arcee was making the case for fembots for much longer than that.

Just a little heads up, but whenever you take a specific group and say "I don't like [group in general]" without giving reason why it comes off wrong. There's really no good way to say you don't like an entire group.

It's fine to not like a certain character, I don't like Windblade. I find Chromia a little 2 dimensional. I can't stand Arcee. But I don't hate 'fembots' (I hate the term). I like Nautica, Firestar I disliked on a personal level, but found her character interesting, and I hope Velocity turns out to be a great character.

We've been presented with a very diverse personalty pool with the ladies so far. So the 'fembots' aren't able to really be lumped together as a whole, they are distinctly different with very different personalities and roles. You're skirting a line that is close to racism, sexism, and intolerance.

It's okay to dislike all the personalities presented so far even, but dislike them on a personal level, not a blanket statement of 'fembots', because you are hating because of a gender pronoun, not an individual that does not represent the whole.

Seibertron is on site to bring you the latest news at San Diego Comic Con tonight and right now at Hasbro booth you we get a look at the Artwork of the fan built combiner Victorion!
Check out the images we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates from SDCC, plus the best galleries around!

Weird, I was looking at the artwork on my laptop in my TF display room and I swear Superion is popping a chubbie.

Quite odd, I wonder how the toy will look.

I'm a little behind in my news on Victorian. I know that the fans voted on this and that to create the combiner. But has it ever been said if we will receive actual toys of Victorion?

Nautica is not really interesting at all to me. Nothing special about her so I don't think she deserves the time that she gets to be honest when there's other characters I believe should get the time. It's cool and all establishing new characters but it's not cool to relegate old favourites to cameos. Tracks is another character that needs some idw love. Riptide is fantastic he brings charm and a unique brand of humour.

I don't really like the fembots because they're poorly written characters

Racism, sexism and intolerance? Grow up mudslinger it's a story about alien robots I can dislike who I want. Pc gone mad.

"Sacred as a treasuire of a Prime telly me that Victorion is Caminan. Did we know that? Cause I am not entirely sure I knew that. This could be fun!

Well it was established that these would be women. So far in this continuity, most of the women in transformers come from caminus,

Only problem I see with them being from Caminus is that during the Fan Vote one of the polls was where they were from and the Sea of Rust won. Doesn't mean that won't change.

Windblade was from Kaon in the original fan vote.

Looks like the teal/red/white deco won.

Hopefully we'll see some actual pictures of the toys at sdcc

Left arm appears to be an Alpha Bravo clone/retool/remold/reissue/whateveryouwanttocallit.

Didn't participate in the original so I did not know that. heh

Hi! I have grown up, long time ago, actually.

Firstly, learn to read. I did not call you those things, I said you skirt them with the way you word things.

You blanket statement things. You don't like fembots but don't give a reason, just that you don't like them. That makes it a blanket statement.

Secondly, it's okay to have an opinion, but at least acknowledge that you some reasons for that opinion besides "I don't like girls" (which is how it sounds when you say "I don't like fembots, give male characters more page time")

And thirdly, so Va'al isn't inclined to send me a "keep on topic" pm, still not liking the so perfectly matched scheme. I like color coordination (a lot), but it seems too planned for a spontaneous event

It's a shame they got rid of the giant V-shaped forehead crest, it really made Victorion stand out.

I reckon once they knew what the limbs were they had planned schemes for all the available colours. What could of been nice though likely more time consuming is, using the voted colour palette, that voters got to create their own layout on a blank combiner picture, then the best five went to another vote. Yes it would of meant revealing the combiner early but they would still only be drawings.
