    I thought he said "jump off it"?
    That is one of my favorite episodes too, most of the Decepticon heavy episodes are my favorite like Starscream's brigade, Revenge of Bruticus and Webworld.

    My last name is literally Hermes... Technically that's not my legal name but I choose that name because it was my grandmother's maiden name. I never really got a chance to meet her as she died from cancer when my dad was kid but I have done my own research...

    Gaia is perpetually pregnant. There might be 16 with actual names but the actual number of children of is constantly growing as she's never not pregnant or giving birth.

    Though again some text seems to suggest this was figurative not literal and that her "children" also include humans.

    There have been many many many different retellings of the mythology as well so there's a good chance that all of this is true in some form or another. No one knows EVERYTHING on the subject... no one ALIVE anyway... Maybe actual Ancient Greeks before their stories were adapted into plays, books, and every other kind of media 100 times over.

    Gaia's human children are demigods. They are a result of Gaia taking on a human form and having kids with real people. Actually, there are so many gods who have done this it's hard to count just how many demigods there are.

    Do you reckon if the gods are real they're just looking at this thread from Olympus and shaking they're heads? If I were a god, I'd make sure everyone new the real story. But maybe the gods are really shy or like reading idiots (me) posts about them.
    I meant she had 16 kids with ouranos who was also her son. She also had kids with her grandsons Poseidon Zeus and hades.

    Demi-Gods are only half human... but I was actually talking about the fact that as the Goddess of the Earth every living thing on the Earth is her "child" not her literal children, FIGUARATIVELY, humans are all her children.

    Everyone's had kids with her... that must be why she's constantly pregnant.

    Yeah you can have female voice actors without having pink slender robots with lipstick. This is the one thing that GoBots did surprisingly well. Everyone knows Crasher, but there were a few other gobots with female voices, and they may have been referred to as "she", but it was never a thing.

    I think that was meant to be a commentary on how a lot of wars that last for generations and took thousands of lives are over the most stupidest of things and not just land or money and religion.

    This gets all the points, because how difficult is it just to say that some TF are girls, because that's what they were born/made or want to be?
