Less than a day ago, we found out some details from the upcoming Hub Animated Series; Transformers: Robots In Disguise. Three of the Voice Actors were also revealed.
Will Friedle will reprise his role as Bumblebee while Glee’s Darren Criss will voice Sideswipe and Fixit will be voiced by Mitchell Whitfield. Two other cast members were revealed as Constance Zimmer and Ted McGinley. Their roles were not specified at the time.
However, Constance Zimmer Tweeted that she is in fact will voice “A Transformers”.
“I’m a Transformer!!! But I can’t tell u much more, yet…”So, we are indeed getting a Fembot (as Fans call them) in the show. Who do you think this Female Cybertronian will be? Speculate at the thread associated with this news post.
Stick with TFW2005 for the best Transformers News… First!
DOTM Bumblebee
I'm thinking she'll voice the Elite Guard cadet. I imagine they'll be reincarnating Windblade, if this is so.

This is what I'm hoping for.

Sigh.
Can we break the trend for once and have more than one female per team?
MaxxieOD
So much this, especially as a military vehicle.
RedAlert Rescue
I just had a thought when Looking at the front page picture of the lady in question of this thread… not about her but about the logo for the new show placed above her head.
It is I notice almost identical to the logo of the Current Movie Transformers that cubistic block lettering in red on a white background. won't there be even more brand confusion than has already been sown by the Under 8's and the Over 8's toys being extraordinarily difficult for the casual purchaser to tell apart from each other.
Now they want to carry on using the same logo style – does that imply the same toy packaging design too. Resulting in even more confusion.
——-
As for Female Transformers I'd say Firestar or Road Rage are both good choices – I suppose Flare Up would be good too – but perhaps a little to Arcee like.
I suspect Firestar might be impossible for legal reasons though.
I would like to see a Female that isn't : 1) A spider 2) a Motorcycle 3) a Boat 4)a Medic 5) a Helicopter.
So that infers that what I would like to see is
A) a Military female B) a Car female C) a Fire Response Female D) An Aircraft female E) something else I've not thought of something odd like a Junkion Girl or a Dinobot Girl.
Or instead of a Girl a grizzled old warrior woman (like that woman with the cat skin Boots in Gears of War).
But if it's something a bit predicatbly girly then I'll put up with it so long as the character is well written… There is an argument to be made for Elita-1 I guess – It might put some 'humanity' into the souless automata that is Optimus too.
I think Optimus' Ghost may be in the new show as infrequently as he is in Rescue Bots – rather than him having a role like Old Tron.
SpinalCord
Blackarachnia, since we are getting a very random new toy?
Ramdomaccess
Why an autobot. I think they probably give us mostly the Autobot's voice this early. Bit you have a point she could be a con or some thing else but it s safer bet on Autobot for now.
Also I didn't think it would be Elita since it going to be a young group of bots and she tends to older do to the whole "lady optimus" idea behind her
llamatron
Maybe she's just playing an effeminate manbot?
SFXPrime
I hope they introduce a new female character. Perhaps Moon Racer, or even Windblade. However, I would absolutely love to see a female Dinobot!
Skottech
How about Road rage? IMHO she has been neglected in an official capacity for a while now.
TFW10
Glad to hear that there will be a female transformer.
But who's to say that she'll be an autobot?
Otherwise, it could be an elite guard member, elita-1.
vincheng2k5
It would be cool if the character was Windblade. Having a cartoon version of the character would help cement Windblade's place in the greater Transformers lore.
I also wouldn't mind seeing a version of Elita-1, but Chromia seems more likely since her profile has been increasing. As far as I know, Chromia has more figures and comic appearances than other fembots besides Arcee and Blackarachnia.
Yggdrasil
We all would but people forget that this is Prime/Aligned universe.
Just look at the Covenant art/the universe game and you'll see that all of the fembots are essentially toothpick Arcee style bots with Ripclaw being a sole exception but really she's both a toy-only character.
I'm VERY doubtful that we'll get anything Strika like out of the new fembot.
Autovolt 127
I totally believe Constance is voicing the elite guard cadet. It seems so obvious but I'd like to be surprised too.
Skottech
How would it be if we got a fem that wasn't a super-petite chassis type but rather more of a "heavy weapons specialist", I'm not saying the Cybertronian equivalent of fat (like Bulkhead was in Animated & in Prime (though to a lesser degree)) but a tall "not made out of sticks" chassis?
I think I'd like it
Lewa1267
Ugh, I hope the character doesn't have an actually unique body type and looks exactly like generic super model body femmebot #2374567 because then she wouldn't be feminine and I wont be able to fap to it.
swarlock
That's what I was thinking too.
Chainlink
Hm. Elite Guard Cadet or the Dinobot? Unless there's an unannounced member of the leam.
A female 'Con could also be cool.
MaxxieOD
I'm all for more femmes! Maybe we can get some like Strika for a change?
Maverick Hunter Christian
Hey neat!
Can… can we have more than 1 lady Transformer in the main cast?
