    Maybe I am getting old here, but what exactly is Hasbro’s explanation for Roboboobs? I am worried that they other third parties are going go a bit crazy on this.

    Why does she have boat propellers in her wings instead of VTOL turbines?

    Because it's attractive. No further explanation needed. Transformers is not "hard" sci-fi.

    I noted similar awhile ago, when the statue was first revealed. Obviously whoever sculpted this didn't know the difference.

    Since it got your attention......it must be working:ev: 

    We can count our blessings they didn't add a spring bounce feature.

    And let's face it, that price range for you?

    The same explanation we have for why we have bipedal robots with human-like hands, humanoid faces, etc that speak English prior to arriving on Earth: it's fiction.

    Franchise featuring alien robot characters with humanoid faces, hands, facial hair, chests designed to emulate pectoral muscles and abs, having very human-like relationships and romances with one another: I sleep.

    Robot design with feminine features and characteristics: I WAKE.

    Well said both and quoted for truth. I'm getting so fed up of people getting fixated on THIS as the humanlike trait they take issue with. This is the hill they want to die on?
    And as has been pointed out before - this statue seems to be taking a lot of cues from the Bayverse aesthetic, and to some degree Bumblebee. Both of which, especially the later Bay movies have had increasingly humanlike robotic designs.

    When ever people say that there aren't any examples of this with the male bots I just remember back to the AOE/TLK designs.
    [​IMG]

    Heck even some of the old designs. Like with Prime's broad shoulders, wide chest and grill abs.

    As long they don't give characters actual rounded badonkers like Nicee or a character a large 3rd leg I'd say it's all fair game. Maybe make more of the designs closer together like with Strongarm.

    But hey at least AOE gave use our most relatable Transformers design.

    Not to mention all the cues it takes from the actual source material and the comic panel which this statue is depicting. This is definitively Windblade.

    They didn't fail at that either.
    My lady! That's the most sexy figure I've seen of any transformer.

    why someone cares so much about robot having human-like traits? why can't a female robot be looking like a human woman?
