Would "Quakebreak" have not been better suited to have the earthquake power instead of the gravity power?

And the teleport power would have people accuse her of knocking off Skywarp.

I say we see a mock up in SDCC.

Probably, but you can still make the point of her using gravity and kinetic energyotoo make objects fall to earth, and the cause an earth quake like impact.

As for signature powers aligning with a figures other attributes, was gravity control being the winning option before we've even glimpsed the anticipated female gestalt a conscious attempt to make fandom produce as many breast-weapon jokes as possible? 'Cause when I think of female combiner-bots that defy gravity, Volspina immediately springs to mind.

Even allowing that her ranged weapons were a component-mecha's elbows, the configuration doesn't seem structurally sound without some anti-grav engines.

Granted, it probably was the best option of those 3, since there are multiple TFs with iconic earthquake powers.

These animators were evidently more overworked than those who animated Thunderblast.

Design them to be interesting characters with different design concepts first who just happen to female.

From TRU twitter feed

Victorion's power will be "gravity" based. And her main rival would be Galvatronous (?)

We knew about the rival, but now the superpower vote has been revealed.

Gravity Control powers, it is!

Art style reminds me of Masami Obari's muscled/voluptous look. Is getting hot around here.

Thanks for that. I knew I recognized her from somewhere. I think she was piloted by the barely clothed very voluptuous Russian female pilot. Been a while since I've seen the anime. Crazy show, lots of fun, but absolutely bonkers. Highly recommended for great laughs. Fan service goes both ways in that one.

Transformers writers, artists and designers would never get away with something like that. Too many purists would explode.

I'm guessing each sold separately, same as the other deluxe/voyager/legends combiners. I don't know, but that would be my guess since it will be regular retail.
