Thanks to TFW 2005 member Autobreadticon, we get our first public look at medical officer and surgeon, Red Alert, from the new Transformers Animated Comic that is included with the Jetfire and Jetstorm two-pack of toys.

The toy two-pack has seen release in parts of the world, and teh accompanying comic features many characters that should be a part of the Season 3 cartoon as well.

TFCC members have also had the privilege of seeing Red Alert, and the other members of her team in the newest issue of the club magazine which focuses on the next season of Transformers Animated characters, and the creators of the series.

You can view the full comic page image here, and the cropped image below.

Wow... Red Alert pulled a Rule 63!

Reminds me of the nurses you see from like WW2, with those big bonnets.

REd Alert looks ok but the real Question is, whos the bot behind Ultra Magnus?. :-?

Website · by **DMSL** » Sat Dec 13, 2008 8:19 am

She looks like an elven priest from World of Warcraft.

The bot behind Magnus looks like Jetfire.

From what I'm seeing now Red Alert's design is bad. I mean whats with the afro?

Maybe the guy behind Magnus is Hound, the colors do sort of fit his G1 scheme.

by **Technically weird** » Sat Dec 13, 2008 8:49 am

looks like another guy is behind Magnus, wonder who? Looks like a generic-bot.

Man, Red Alert isn't a girl. This kinda bothers me (as does a few things with this show)

What have they done?????

by **Swiftpaw** » Sat Dec 13, 2008 10:25 am

Pfft. It's been in the rumor mill for ages Red Alert would be a femme, stop acting like it's such a big shot.

And its not an afro, it's a nurse's cap. It's just been exaggerated in size. Greatly.

Rule 63's the gender-bending one. Older than internets.

Only in TF-dom will you find people complaining about a female nurse.

Who is approving these designs?!! #-o

Yea found a whole site with em still kinda disturbing to see Sonic with tits.....

female Nurses are cool, would be awesome if she had a personality similar to the G1 toon with all the "You're a traitor!" pointing at everybody.

Red Alert turned into a woman? It's a conspiracy!

by **Point** » Sat Dec 13, 2008 2:05 pm

The female thing doesn't bother me. It's the fact that she's a nurse. I realize the original Red Alert MAY have been a field medic, but his function was SECURITY CHIEF, not maintainance. He was command, not science. If this were Star Trek he would be wearing gold not blue, unless it was TNG then he'd be wearing red not blue. Yet somewhere along the way (I'm looking at you Unicron Trilogy) he morphed into G1 Hoist. Now I'm all for moving forward, but if this series is gonna be G1 homages, then let them be proper G1 homages.

I know the bots

Female Red Alert

Beachcomber is the one behind Ultra Magnus

Perceptor

The 2 black mysery bots are Jetfire & Jetstorm

Then finally is Sentinel Prime & Jazz

The one Behind Ultra Looks like a young Beachcomber also his paint scheme is reminiscnes with his G1 counterpart.

Also Wheel Jack is working with Perceptor on what is considered to be the future of Cybertron.

Also I see no bot that looks like Hound.

Hound is Green/Camo and is a Military Jeep in G1 anways he was.

Also it sounds like they are working on somehthing or fixing something

I wonder if it is a flash-back episode and shows that it might be Sari Sumdac

Also it could be something like a techno-organic sort of like the things that were in Dweller in the Depths from G1 Season 3.

Or something like Promethues Black was working on.

Okay, I totally understand that this is NOT G1, though it is chock full of G1 homages. I didn't complain about Magnus outranking Optimus (much), I've quietly accepted most of the other subtle alterations with a grain of salt, and truthfully I've really enjoyed Animated. But really, people?! Transsexual Transformers? What was so difficult about having a female nurse that we had to use a formerly male name? Why not name her Paradron after the Paradron Medic statue and such? Or Firestar or Moonracer?

There's plenty of female characters that haven't seen the light of day in a decade, and the fans would love to see them brought back via Animated.

Why, instead, did they choose to play genderbender?

FFFFF RED ALERT'S A FRIKKIN CHICK.

Fail, of the EPIC VARIETY.

...I was hoping for an Armada homage for once, blast it. -_-'

This is the comic pack in with Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm toys. It is showing how they were created and how they were given combining abilities I believe.

Yrs it dose. This is the page that we saw half of inhere.

That is not Animated Beachcomber, this is:

Why is everyone making such a big about Red Alert being a female. This isn't G1, this isn't Armada, and it isn't Cybetron; Animated is a different Universe, therefore their different characters, not one transexual.

News Credits: 5 · by **Rodimus2006** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 10:49 pm

At 1st I too was a little mad about the change to Red-Alert but I gotta admit the design is starting to grow on me some and I like it now.

But I too wish they bad homage to his Armada Style looks. Same with Hot Shot also but Hot Shots new Animated Looks sweet and I like him a lot.

Cant wait to see the new bots in Action and see there ALT FORMS.

Also I believe War-Path will be in Season 3, maybe not as a permanent character but in some sort of fashion.

Maybe cameo scenes like with with, Waspinator, Iron Hide, others such as Wreck-Gar.

Man the more I see of Animated Season 3 the more I wanna see it now.

You people are crazy calling Female Red a Transexual she looks like a normal fembot nurse to me.

But they could have made her hair look more stylish instead of the granny bun deal.

Love Wheel Jack's and Perceptor;s looks very G1nish also Perceptor is much younger than his G1 counterpart as Wheel Jack pretty much looks the same.

Over all I wish they would release some more tid-bits about Season 3.

Plot-Details

Who Will be in, Who Wont be in it.

Also names of each of the Episoded not fan made ones or from an unrealiable source.

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.
