Word. And personally, I was more annoyed that Override was a chick in Cybertron. I loved that little dual-wiedling bikebot in G1. If people are going to complain about Red Alert being changed, well they're five or six years late. I think the change from paranoid security chief to well-respected doctor was a lot bigger than a change from male medic to female medic.
Ok look at it this way: Is a Jason Smith in Star Trek the same Jason Smith that would be in Stargate? No.
And since Cybertron and G1 are two totally different universes, I guess Override from G1 is a different character than Override from Cybertron. Same goes for Red Alert. Basically Transformers is a different universe every series, unless said other wise so that means the characters are different from previous shows.
