There's so few female Transformers as is, and he or she is going to end up in the IDW comics, where the only female transformer is Arcee, and only because of a Jhiaxus experiment!
I am with you on this. I mean, for the last 30 years, the only "strictly female" figures that gave us strong female characters were tied to Beast Wars and Prime. I mean Generation One, especially Binaltech, only gave us characters that were molded from male characters. And every other series gave us an Ariel/Arcee that was either just there or created to give the males moral support.

On top of what Sabrblade said, Prime Arcee's rather strong-willed and determined (especially when it comes to her annoying revenge arc). She was Optimus' third choice for the "bot-in-charge" behind Ratchet before Ultra Magnus came along, so she's trustworthy in the position of leadership. She can be male moral support, and certainly takes a "motherly" position at times, but that's to small extents.
ROTF Arcee and her sisters were the biggest offenders to the fembot concept. Bleh.

That wasn't Megatron. He was Galvatron by that point in the timeline. That was a Legion.craggy wrote:I've heard about Gene Simmons Megatron, thats all I need to know to know to say far away.

Honestly, take away all the skeevy stuff (and there is a LOT of it, but take it ALL away), and the story's not all that bad.craggy wrote:Still too much information.Sabrblade wrote:That wasn't Megatron.

I figured that went without saying.Mindmaster wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And that's all forgoing the skeevy stuff, which was mostly just perverted fanservice.
Don't forget "straight-up disturbing".
