Are you waiting for a special event to get them?

Also, with all this talk of repurpusing male molds for female ones my question is: what makes a transformer female? Do they really need a physical distinction? These are alien robots with their own anatomy, they can look like they wish to look. Is anyone upset that Gregevor is a male character using Strongarm's mold and thus using a female mold for a male transformer? Starscream was female in the french version of the G1 cartoon, did that totally not work with the body type? Why must we expect specific body types for different gendered Transformers? Who cares?!

I personally see using a similar body type for different genders (of alient robots) to actually show equality among the sexes and to take away from a stereotype of the human physique (thinner waist, bosom area, thinner limbs).

Agreed.
Legion class Arcee was redone into GROOVE. Another prime example. Besides, They look badass to someone no matter which way you design them.

No, we're just a LITTLE low on funds, but I'll get them soon enough.

I am fine with how Strongarm looks, I am fine with the chunky arms and legs, I just don't want it looking like Miley Cyrus with a flat butt. XD

The second one is not Road Rage, but Shattered Glass Tracks. Its deco is based on Road Rage, yes, but the character it was made to be is male.
And the third one, the MP, does not yet exist.
So, yeah, there's only been one Road Rage from Tracks that "we've gotten in the past" (as you originally stated).

Wut

Sorry, I couldnt resist. The hairstyle made me think of her for some reason:

[D-Maximal_Primal]

The biggest problem with that comparison: You're very much right

[LegendaryAntiHero]

Argh! My eyes!

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Yeah yuck. XD

[SkyQuake101]

Pocket full of poses

[SkyQuake101]

Ashes, ashes. We could all be pummeled, and quartered.

To quote one of the Sweeps in Ghost in the Machine........"no need to be insulting" to Airrazor

[SkyQuake101]

Actually, that's a good idea! We need an insecticon combiner! (6 appendages, of course)

[SkyQuake101]

OMG MENASAUR IS AN INSECT!

Bombshell's influence?

[Optimum Supreme]

Gorosaur, you mean.

[SkyQuake101]

Gorosaur, you mean.

I think I just heard a gong.

Wish granted:

[SW's SilverHammer]

I want it!

[King Kuuga]

I want it!

Petition MMC to bring it back from development hell, then.

Also, to steer this somewhat on topic, I think with the right decos and new heads, our fembot combiner components could work out just fine.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Wish granted:

BADASS!

I have never seen those pictures before! But this ain't Hearts of Steel, but Combiner Wars. XD

Wish granted:

So the Insecticons combine into...the Robot Centipede?

No, an Insect-themed train. They're more like the Duocons or Reflector in that aspect I believe, as they don't have separate vehicle modes. We've only have one insect combiner, really:


Transformers Beast Wars Tripredacus (Tripledacus) Gallery

... made from a Rhinoceros Beetle (Ram Horn), a Cicada (Cicadacon)... and a Lobster (Sea Clamp).

I was actually making a joke about a film of some, ahem, notoriety from a few years back.

I understood that reference, unfortunately.

So how 'bout that Combiner Wars?
