Or is this another one of those situations where the character is referred to as one gender, but 'identifies themselves' as some other gender....? The head sculpt is nice - pity I have no interest in this figure, having already dismissed Barney Megatron and "T-Wrecks".
Tyrannosaurus Rex is the name of the species, which includes both sexes.
Rex is clearly a title/word in Latin that refers specifically to a male person. So we're calling a female Tyrannosaurus "King"? It's like saying "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" includes both sexes, even though the female in that duo is NOT John, she's Susan.
I realize this probably isn't coming out the way a I'd like, but I'm not really sure how to articulate it.
It's literally the name of the species. I don't think it's sexist. It IS generic, though. Queen in latin is "Regina", I think. Probably a weird name for a robot, since it is an actual name people use. Although Randy exists...

Not to mention, this was all already established in the actual movie Jurassic Park. They called the T-rex a T-rex despite all the dinosaurs on the island being female for safety reasons. The robot being a female makes sense in this regard. T-rex is simply the name of the species.

Also, excellent looking figures, but they have the shittiest names off all time. Erector was funny at least. These names are just unimaginative as hell.

I'm making up my own names for these two
They are, um, Tyrannissa and Parkour
A Decepticon hearse would be rather interesting. Give it the name Deathbed.

That set is absolutely gorgeous and bad-ass at the same time! At 105US dollars, it's as if it will be roughly 30$CAN more than the regular price for a deluxe and a leader. Could be worse. But I don't trust Canadian pricing and I expect the set to rather cost something like 120$US or even 130$US. And if it's badly distributed like the Top Gun Maverick bot, it will be a huge nope.
This will be a wait and see for the Canadian market.

Thanks, but I need a goat that transforms from goat to "goo-onna-windscreen" mode.
When will Hasbro learn to give us our money's worth with relevant and much-wanted accessories like this?

Especially for Canadians, who pay 20$US more than Americans for reasons.

I don't think it has been in stock yet at Amazon.
I've had it in my wash list since it was posted, and it said it was out of stock since the beginning.

It was available on the day of release and was in stock for long enough that I ordered it twice. Second time was using someone's affiliate link and I canceled the first. But yeah, it was in stock long enough for a bunch of people on Twitter, including myself, to order.
