    I like RID15 Strongarm, her interactions with Sideswipe was fun to watch, something like bickering siblings or co-workers. Also, I just like uptight level headed characters who have the right idea but lack the abilities to implement them either because of their inexperience or the right push.

    Shatter and Dropkick duo are good to, in one of the deleted scenes it feels like Shatter is watching over her little brother which I find endearing. Her color scheme and design look good to, I like the muscle car torso.

    I just wish Fembots would be more traditional in design. It's weird when the males and females look like there from two different planets. One with machines that are rectangular, heavy and armored to fight a war, and another were everyone is a swimsuit model.

    THIS. Unless they wanna make the male Transformers look like robotic versions of male models, please just make the female transformers look like regular ass robots. They don’t need thicc thighs, fat robo-titties and a Megan Thee Stallion ass. They can just be robots. That being said, I’m okay with the faces of female Transformers being a bit more feminine or slender - I mean the male robots faces are already pretty masculine, and TBH I don’t see a lot of oversexualization of the faces so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    What if the swimsuit model manages to transform her body in a cohesive vehicle without huge sacrifices on the robot's back ?

    Nice design, but I'm still tired of the swimsuit model body type.

    Seems believable. Looks like the kibble behind her arms and her upper body folds and connects to the the main vehicle body while her legs become the cannons. Not sure where the barrels on the end are hidden, but from what I read about how MP's operate these days, nothing surprises me.

    Doesn't change my opinion. If the Camians looked like that, then I could say that they are from a different planet and adapted to it. I just don't like it, when the males look so different from the females.

    I don't recognise that figure, but I have some questions as to how that tiny waist is supporting that huge upper body. Seems like a weak point especially in close combat.

    I think the ideal is heavily-armored femmes with designs similar to Steelbane's. Ancient-looking, yet recognizable as a robot.

    Each one would be heavily individualized, with their own heraldry and war-graith.

    I've found I try to pick up every female Transformer I see at retail because my nieces like playing with them. It's great that we've gotten so many in recent years and most of them are great toys.

    Only last week did I finally get an Airrazor figure despite her being one of my favourite characters in Beast Wars. I liked that she was depicted as s capable warrior. Prime Arcee reminded me of her so I liked her too.

    Elita-One and Chromia have been great on the Netflix show. I really like Chromia's stoic, bot of few words, badass depiction.

    Slipstream was great in both Animated and Cyberverse while Shadow Striker reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy Nebula in personality and appearance.

    Shatter and Quintessa were cool villains in the movies. Shame we didn't see more of the Arcee triplets.

    Besides the updates of older characters, it's great seeing new characters like Vertebreak and Slash.

    We don't actually know that, Caio. Nobody's ever made an actual robot (even a non-sapient one) that looked like that and tested it out.

    It works for your aesthetic, sure. And I don't have any problem with weird looking tiny waisted female robots existing as long as that's not all there is.

    I would say, both design-wise and to help prevent too much stress carrying the weight of her upper-torso, she would benefit from a larger waist. If her design is suppose to be more based on the muscular side of the female human body, the waist would be larger anyway due to expanded ab and oblique muscles. It's what gives muscular women the general illusion of having smaller hips, it's actually the lower torso being larger with muscle and becoming more streamlined with the upper torso and hips.

    Speaking of bulkier more robotic looking fembots, what do you guys think of Aileron?

    It's from MMC it's called Elis: Kultar. So a gender swapped Tarn. The cannons can be mounted on the arms in robot mode.

    I actually really like the design mainly because it's not a shell former. The way the legs turn into a very convincing turret shape is really impressive and the arms and back pack make for a really good looking tank body and all fold up nicely. Honestly it's the kinda thinking I want to see more of. And I know on the first page I bitched about how so many transformer fembots have that "human" section at least here those thighs actually form part of the altmode in a really convincing way and arn't just tucked away under a shell. MMC have looked at the body and gone "yes that shape can work at this part of the tank" rather then drawing some hips and then wondering how they can hide it.

    I guess I'm saying I'm against being lazy with the swim-suite look rather then asking for it to be removed all together. And on that same note I think if from time to time they also coloured the upper legs and hips the same colour it'd also "hide" make it less obvious to the eye.

    I Had to google her. So Gobots Crashers new name is Aileron? She looks a hell of a lot like Crasher for it to be a coincidence.

    maybe Hot take incoming. I dig it but I don't like how the shoulders are a mile wide I'd bring them in and then I'd say that's a good example of the apple shape I was talking about before. Like when it comes to fembots it doesn't have to be an all or nothing.

    According to the Wiki it's more of a reference

    Oh they aren't that far apart now are they?

    googling more now In some official art yes... then in others no. For some reason some of the artists really draw her shoulder/head ratio at like 7-1 while others keep it closer to 4.5-ish. the size of the components are the same just some times she's drawn with a huge gap between the body and arms connected by a green rod other times it's not visible.

    I really like Aileron's design. I hope there are more designs like hers in the future.

    Wow a lot off info about female TF’s. Very cool!!! I have thought about what size suits the mode. For instants, motorcycle would be small framed like on prime Arcee. Remember the female junkion? Strongarms mode perfect. I liked CW Elita very nice! I see S-M-L then combiner very cool. 167471E3-DEDF-4032-9656-9E75554E01EC.jpeg 9BDEB930-D706-43DD-A995-13BF291A0319.jpeg 8EBB719A-9303-41B7-9C5B-BBB228EED607.jpeg 3DCD58CA-8BDC-46EA-9E74-8DB1DC09351B.jpeg A19DC671-17F5-497F-B1AD-97698B2A1655.jpeg
