Like many of you, I got Transmutate and went "WOW! Transmutate! *assemble* wow... Transmutate..."

So, here are my thoughts. Articulate both elbows, swivle her left wrist, articulate right hip, both knees and ankles.

Now, I'm not sure if this is doable, because of the kind of plastic she's made out of. What are yalls thoughts?

Doable, but not going to be quite like any other TF custom you've done before. Closer to articulating a DC Direct toy. Look at Marvel Legends Joints. Look at customizing sites other than this one that deal more with "Action Figures"

I thought Transmutate was a "He"... Or maybe the "Tran" part stands for something else :lol:

To be honest, I don't think it was ever determined in the episode what gender TM was. I think a lot of people have assumed it's female from the voice (in fact, wasn't it Venus Terzo, who played Blackarachnia?), but it wasn't flatly stated.

pretty sure it was a she. anyone want to go watch the episode again? I don't own the series.

They don't really give it a gender in the show. But the feminie voice and fact that Rampage basically falls in love with it gives it a female aura.

No, Transmutate was a she. Every one acknowladges that she's a she. She was voiced by Sue Blu, the offical script and synopsis say she's a she and all the VAs know she's a she. Fans are the only ones who constantly fall behind on this subject. Transmutate was very defenitly a female.

Bart simpson is voiced by a female too, he's not a female. No where in the actual show is she listed as female, so regardless of what the VAs know, and what the gender the VA was no where in the actual cartoon is "it" given a gender. Personally I consider it to be asexual. It was mutated creature that had not completed its developmental cycle. Thats my personal opinion only of course, you can attribute what ever gender you like to it.

What TM2 is saying is that not only was the character voiced by a woman, but that the script and synopsis specifically say that the character is female. If it is in the script that the transmutate is female, then that is pretty conclusive that the transmutate is female.

That is correct.
