All-female Autobot gestalt coming this summer! I need to figure out how to get this once it's (or they're) available.

"and I'll for the tits!"

j/k

about time imo

We've had Headmasters, we've had Targetmasters, now we'll have Breastmasters!

But is a robot with tits a step forward or two steps back?

At some point, the reality is that even robot characters in Transformers are gendered, so if that's going to be the case, then yes, I do want more robots with boobs—even if it seems like a silly solution to the situation. I've always hated how so many cartoon and other kid's stuff had the one token female, and that was it (if even that).

It's time the female Autbots get out of the Cybertronian energon kitchens, and out onto the battlefield!

But Arcee made the best sammiches

I always found it odd that super nerds get so upset about female transformers, but not like a dozen other things. You got transformers that decide that they want to be cats that turn into tapes, but a woman that turns into a car? God no.

A better question is why to transformers like the human form soooo much? What was going on with Grimlock? Why did he like to be a dino so much? Why did metroplex just lay around all the time with other robots running around in his butt and stuff?

Metroplex's fetish is to have smaller Autobots inside of him.

Because she should be transforming into an oven amirite fellas?

I honestly found Arcee to be kind of random since Transformers didn't seem to care about relationships beyond friendship (at least until Beast Wars), so introducing a definitive female was kind of odd. Leaving them all as effectively genderless but voiced by males was fine for me, maybe just switch up the voice actors with women here and there to run with that point?

As long as the toys look cool, that's all that matters.

[Fe 26]

You thought they were gender less? Did you assume the smurfs were genderless before smurfet?

There were female Autobots in season 1 with implied coupling or really strong friendships in season 1.

What's more interesting is that the decepticons tried to either kill or excommunicate all of them from the planet.

I realize it's a kids show, but that really paints something dark and kinda gay/spartan about the decepts
