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

Would "Quakebreak" have not been better suited to have the earthquake power instead of the gravity power?SW's SilverHammer wrote:Thank, **** christ her name wasn't slammoth or quakebreak. I mean Jesus Christ, talk about on the nose.

So what are the chances of the figure being revealed at either botcon or SDCC? I know we're getting a look at her in the comics soon but what about the actual toy?

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.

I hope that's the case, I'm really anxious to see what this thing looks like.

Well its the only really unique power that hasn't really been used in Transformers before.
By an individual I don't mean not used at all.
Glad it got in since I voted for that power.

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.

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.SW's SilverHammer wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Would "Quakebreak" have not been better suited to have the earthquake power instead of the gravity power?SW's SilverHammer wrote:Thank, **** christ her name wasn't slammoth or quakebreak.

Better get those cold showers ready, I don't think Motormaster/Optimus Prime, Silverbolt/Cyclonus or Hot Spot will be retooled to accommodate... those.

Quoted for truth.
Of course, that only works if the designs have accompanying appearances in works of fiction like comics or tv shows. Otherwise, if you're just presented with an androgynous TF toy with a feminine name, it's basically, "It's a girl bot; use your imagination."
Because honestly, if a female TF doesn't look "typically" female, the only thing that defines her gender would either be her voice, behavior or personality. Take the those away, and all you're left with is a female bot in name only.

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 (?)
Gravity Control powers, it is!

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

Did some googling, and it seemsto be from a rather fanservice heavy anime called Godannar.
