who's to say theres anything remotely close to "genders" as far as the TF race goes? especially in this universe anyways
but yeah. Keeping a similar aesthetic for pre-earth robots was something we had to do. Hasbro seems pretty bent on keeping a kind of visual continuity [which is quite understandable]
to prove it the whole first issue actually had bumblebee drawn in a VERY different way than what you guys see
We were told to change that to keep in accordance with the aesthetic established in the movie
[bumblebee was once yellow and arcee had a bit of pink in her as well. but we had to change that too]
but things really do get better in issue 2
personally i dont much care for how the first issue came out. a bit dark and very monochrome. plus i may be a little bitter because of all the hassle we had to go through
but yeah. do give it a chance. the other 3 issues
almost feel like a completely different series
