Looks female and the head is vaguely the same shape as Starscream's.

Could be, the arms look like the Prime Starscream, but the abdomen looks like a car windshield. I figures that was Shadow Striker.
Correction: thats not hwr abs, thsts a window hanging from her arm. Car door arms

Ah, maybe they are car door arms, I thought they were little blue wings like we see on some jet-formers' arms. So that's two female Decepticons on this show right off the bat, interesting.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
Skritz wrote:I can imagine that they went with Slipstream because they wanted more female Decepticons and there aren't really any noteworthy ones. That said, I'm quite surprised she's in there because it goes against the whole 'evergreen' idea of using only popular and brand-recognition characters so it come as a shock to use a more recent and less famous character in a major role. I just hope we see variety in seeker design if they're going to be major villains, as plain recolor would look a bit silly (if accurate).

It could be a new storyline that shows how this Starscream becomes leader of the Seekers, with Slipstream happening to be his predecessor.Rated X wrote:I suppose the me too movement exists in cartoons too.

But this just seems kind of forced. I could accept it if starscream gets killed off. But to just change starscreams role after 30 years to satisy society is a bit too extreme in my opinion. Its a cartoon...

Rated X wrote: But my whole issue is the forced feminism factor. Its like what we got in the latest star wars trilogy. I have no problem with a woman being a jedi (we saw them in earlier films) But in the current political atmosphere it seems Rey and Captain Phasma were not just random choices to change things up. My opinion is the radical element of the me too movement is behind it. Im not anti women by any means. But im not a milenial either. If I was a script writer, I'm not going to let society determine the genders of specific characters through intimidation.

A duo of villains who are a couple and/or equal partners would make for a more unique dynamic than a megalomanic tyrant and his backstabbing right hand.

Eaxactly. I was going to mention that she has been established in the IDW series, which is coming to an end but...

Wasn't the reason they did not release it due to the mold being too "heavy" or something?
william-james88 wrote:Its because he was in between classes (deluxe and voyager). Takara clearly has no problem releasing a smaller toy as a voyager and rebranded HFTD Bumblebee as a voyager, same with Animated lockdown in the recent adventures line. But Hasbro used to like things being more clear cut and unified classes.
But that was the old team. The new team clearly does not give a **** and will label Studio Series Optimus as a full blown voyager regardless of his small stature.

Boulder went from producing three projects at most to six IPs including season two of Danger Mouse and Hasbro’s Micronauts, The Littlest Pet Shop, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and Rescue Bots Academy, all in Toon Boom Harmony. The studio is also storyboarding the latest Transformers series and its first CG animated feature film in Storyboard Pro.
With so many new productions, Boulder suddenly needed storyboard artists, concept designers and animators. The challenge became to scale up and find top talent without losing its quality and personality.
“We’ve always been quite selective about who we hire and it’s not just the talent I’m looking at; I want to know if they’re nice people and if they will fit in,” says Cullen.
Its team now includes people from around Ireland and the world, though growing from 160 to 360 seats in just over a year comes with certain concerns as well. Namely, keeping the boutique studio corporate culture it had established.
“Each project has a team with their own director and production manager — every piece feels like it’s a boutique production that people can take pride in,” says Cullen. “It doesn’t feel like we’re this vast company making random shows and we have to make sure it stays that way.”
