I guess that would scale better with Metroplex.
Sadly still no word for a Nautica toy.

I'm afraid you are mistaken. These new Fembots are just the Generations Deluxe molds released in the final one of the following categories:Shuttershock wrote:I guess that would scale better with Metroplex.

2005-2010: Legends class (originally "Legends of Cybertron") - a size class of 3-inch-tall mass retail figures; later became integrated into the "Cyberverse" subline as "Legion class"
2012-Present: Transformers Legends - a mobile game for Android and Apple platforms
2013-Present: Legends class - A new size class introduced in the Generations Thrilling 30 line that's bigger than the Cyberverse Commander class but smaller than Scout class
2014: Transformers: Legends - The third Japanese line to be a counterpart to Hasbro's Generations line (the first being United and the second being Takara's Generations line), beginning with the mid-2014 Thrilling 30 toys, and themed around Beast Wars in packaging and media (i.e. - the manga).

Oh, silly me. I thought we had reigned in our ADD-like excessive re-branding and were sticking with consistent terminology. My mistake.

It is consistent in a sense, but Hasbro and TakaraTomy do not share terminology most of the time. Besides, Commanders, Legions and anything inbetween have either been branded as EZ-Collection or sold in 2-packs in regular lines. "Legends" never had meaning there.

My thoughts exactly, and she's the only femme of the bunch I'd actually be wanting to pick up from the store. Can't have a complete Lost Light crew without the savant

Yeah I want a Nautica. Chromia turned out to be a most unpleasant character that has seen no repercussions for her deplorable acts. I really don't understand that. Anyway, I have first edition Arcee that will stand in for her anyway. It's the new, unique and interesting Nautica I want. But no.

Fembots? How can a ROBOT be female or male??? 
Fanboys with degenerate minds came up with that word so they have an excuse to put breasts on a robot. Sickos.

Ask the ones who designed them back in 1985/1986. Better yet, look up Mighty Orbots.

Robots have been gendered since their creation. Look up RUR, it'll blow your mind.
As for Chromia, RID 33 spoilers: Windblade doesnt trust her anymore. She's living on her own. Windblade only trusts Wheeljack at this point.

Maybe she'll come out in a wave with Riptide also. I've got a fondness for boatformers.

Fembots are at least 100 years old. If it disgust you, why don't you just leave the civilised world and join a far away monastery?

Thanks to Transbridge Omegalock, we get some high quality images of Takara Tomy Transformers: Legends LG-09 Voyager Class Brainstorm. We've seen images of Takara Tomy's Brainstorm before but can we really have enough pictures of this guy? With that said, we get to see Takara's take on Brainstorm in greater detail. Let us know what you think and sound off in the Energon Pub.

I'll stick with the Hasbro version that actually looks like the character the toy is supposed to be.
