    I want a game variant where you must have at least 9 battlecards cards featuring your chosen characters.

    Off the top of my head, these guys can easily pull off a competitive deck.

    Starscream
    Grimlock
    Shockwave
    Prime
    Ironhide
    Wheeljack
    Bumblebee
    Acree

    She's gotten a few over the years. The biggest thing is she's more of an in joke reference than a real character in the franchise. I don't think she's had a regular release figure outside of a Prime legends figure maybe? Everything else is Botcon exclusive stuff.

    Pretty sure it's because of her name; Flamewar as in "flame war," like, flaming, the forum argument, as mentioned in Rule 1: No... flaming, etc...

    I like to imagine her as an excessively vulgar individual who takes any criticism of her as a personal attack and throws strawman arguments at everyone while going on monotonous rants about inconsequential crap that isn't even worth arguing about. ;)

    Nice!!!! I don't recall it but that's probably because I had little to do with that TF Prime stuff.

    Or Botcon.

    Hell, they can just re-release this one ^^^^ at retail at this point and I think it would sell far better than those Fembot Limb-formers they're still pushing out.

    Her rants would probably be hilarious.

    "TF Prime's toyline is MUCH better than PRID! It didn't have me in it,so therefore it's crap. No,I haven't bought any of the PRID toys. Why do you ask?"

    "You're saying that I'M a redeco of ARCEE? I'll tear that poser apart in her sleep! Nobody upstages me! EVER!"

    I'd love to see a new figure of her in Generations. Oh,the webcomics I could make...

    Oh my god yes! I like her so much more now.
    I mean maybe. I’d still like a new figure of her in general.

    Oh, absolutely. BUT, we're talking about Hasbro and they're current love for Fembots. They're banking on us just being happy that they're finally making them. So I wouldn't be shocked if they made 4 more female Decepticon figures out of those same Fembot limbs using that PotP Starscream mold one more time to use as Strika. While just slapping known names on the repainted limbs including Flamewar, Nightbird, Fracture and even Nickel.

    But that's worse case scenario.

    New molds feat Cycles and Spaceship Fembots is well overdue.

    Ehh possibly. I’m optimistic though. And I don’t even really want a hasbro figure. Just as any figure.

    She's modeled off an old Transformers Usenet fan called Raksha. She helped organize the first Botcon (and I think created the character/toy exclusive for that botcon, Nightracer) she also hated Beast Wars really bad. Always getting into all sorts of fights over it. She also really loved the original G1 Decepticons. Like, she thought the Sunbow Decepticons were the good guys, before even IDW started making the war more morally grey.

    Here is Nightracer: [​IMG]

    "Beast Wars was irredeemable any way you turn it, of course. Even had Megatron’s name not been besmirched by the presence of the Pretender, even had the series not spit upon everything that was ever excellent about Transformers, there were no worthwhile characters in the mix. I’m told there’s practically no Usenet discussion at all anymore about BW characters. They failed to capture the imagination and incite the passion that the multi-faceted, compelling, and awe-inspiring G1 characters were capable of. Beast Machines was an amusing side-trip into the back alleys of obscurity, serving only to invalidate Beast Wars further, and with that I have no complaint - but there were certainly no merits of characterization to be found. For all the clamor the Beast-series caused, no sooner were the shows off the air, than the flash in the pan sizzled out. It is a most fitting journey into extinction."

    That's a quote from her.

    So Flamewar was created and was very obsessed with G1 Megatron and hated all the new leaders and new stuff.

    Talking about fembot toy/card hopes. Here's a lovely spaceship autobot I would be so down to get in game or as a toy! Aileron!
    [​IMG]

    I love her design and not typical fembot body shape. She looks more like a 10th minibot. Plus you can just see from her design how she can transform realistically, and her character in IDW was great. Plus she would give Cosmos an Autobot spaceship buddy to utilize battle card synergy in SIEGE.

    Lmao, knowing the source material she was talking about makes her rants even more hilarious and ridiculous than if they would be taken out of context. “Even had Megatron’s name not been besmirched by the presence of the Pretender”. Loool:D :D :D  Not surprising she managed to get an actual toy reference to herself!:D :D 
    Off topic, please don’t link that atrocious idw image.:puke:
