    Is that what everyone wants? I thought it was just more variety amongst the shapes. An Arcee bodied bot is fine every now and then, but it does get a bit boring after they all tend to be that way. That's why I like Strongarm.

    This is not a true statement at all, unless "big and burly' equals 'not a stick-figure' to you.

    What I want is something like Glyph, where it's a repaint of an existing figure identified as male, but is most definitely female in the fiction. No remolding at all. Reinforce that the gender of a toy is completely irrelevant.


    And a "male" Windblade repaint to boot.

    So a female body is "stick Figure"-shaped to you?

    Big and burly as in blocky. E.g. Strongarm and roadmaster

    Oh Primus no! Lol.

    It could be a block and someone will still post a "sexy" pic.

    Femmebots are getting kinda saturated, it seems every drop of news involves them. Add more, by all means, but slow it down.

    "Fembots" are no more saturated than Dickcons.

    Female Transformers don't need to slow down, they're existence needs to become so normal that no one screams in a primitive, dominant rage about it.

    Can we just get an SJW thread and consolidate all the activism to there? Also, how do we know that Cybertronians have the same 50/50 gender split we do? They certainly don't have a need for sexual dimorphism, so why do you assume that they would evolve identical to us?

    So...just so I'm sure I'm understanding this correctly: Because someone has an opinion you disagree with, that means they abuse women, are unintelligent, and hate women?

    I fixed that for myself. :D 

    I'm just sick of how they're shoe-horned into everything no matter how nonsensical, irrelevant and inconsequential they are to the story all for the sake of political correctness. This goes for movies and TV shows as well where the whole girl power is shoved down our throats everyday.

    The real problem is they just don't know how to write them (female characters). For some bizarre Hollywood and writers in general seem to equate physically strong female characters with interesting female characters which is absolute BS. So all we see these days is the same tried and tested trope of the OTT female badasses that are about as interesting to watch as dull dishwater being shoe horned into movies and TV shows to their detriment for sake of the almighty political correctness nonsense going on these days!

    So what if they don't slow down? What if they speed up? What if there are 100 new femmebots by 2017?

    People are gonna be sick of it. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, and some people might be feeling a little burned out on femmebots at the moment. And if it keeps going and going, more and more people will get tired of it, to the point femmebots could become the "next male bots".

    Absolutely make more femmebots, but don't do it too quickly.

    But then wouldn't they be kind of...generic?

    I'd much rather have some variety in them. A Glyph here, a Crasher there, a Thunderblast here, an Elita-1 there. Not just a clone army of Windblades.

    Thrillin' 30/cw legends are the best legends we've had in years.

    I frankly want to see more femmecons. I think, being 'Cons, they would be more interesting. You'd have Crasher, Slipstream, Strika, Thunderblast, Flamewar, Airachnid, Lyzack, hell, you could even throw in Nightbird.
