    TFWiki calls the new Road Rocket female but I can’t find an official statement saying so. Are they just calling Road Rocket female just because they are a head swap of Legacy Prime Arcee?

    No, because Mark called her that in the stream.

    I'm sure the bio on the back of the packaging will clear this up.... oh, wait...

    Why is this even an issue?

    legacy is meant to be new figures of existing characters. Road Rocket's appearance in the live stream will fade into obscurity and only his g2 bio will remain, it's really a non-issue

    An Autobot heavy reveal with all these figures, my wallet continues to be relieved. Anyone else accidentally notice the Devastator thumbnail first and think for a split second we were getting a new Devvy? Oh well.

    Given the plastic that recent g1 Devvy's are made from, this strikes me almost anti-Tonka. I know Tonka moved to plastic, but I still remember when they were metal frames and had sharp angles that could break skin... Cuz that's the waaay it wuz and we liked!!!!

    I was being facetious about the lack of bios on the packaging. You know, the thing that made G1 toys more popular than Gobot toys?

    Oh yeah! I had an old dump truck and loader that were hand me downs. They were rusty, lol. I played with those for years.

    I really hope the next Ravage we get in Legacy or SS86 is a new mold or heavy retool that gives us something much closer to mini-Masterpiece/cartoon accuracy.

    And then once that new Ravage mold is done, give us all of his redecos. <Ron Swanson> Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of Ravage redecos" What I said was, "Give me all the Ravage redecos you have." Do you understand, Hasbro? </Ron Swanson>

    No, sorry, I meant about the he/she discussion. Not the bios.

    While I also like the bios, I don't think that alone made them more popular than Gobots ;)

    Road Rocket kept looking familiar, now I know why!

    She’s Windblade’s sister!

    Land and air attack sisters! :p

    Which I'm certain was a mistake because he uses the Arcee mould.

    Since this is G2 Road Rocket, here's his og toy bio.

    Or maybe they turned Road Rocket female because they thought it was fitting and cool.

    I could see a Selects Nightbird coming as Road Rocket's evil twin sister too!

    Or it was most likely a genuine mistake.
    And according to those who have read Tread and Circuits, Road Rocket is still male despite using the Arcee design.
