Don’t know how he got the others to cooperate but Arcee looks like she lost a bet.
It’s interesting how something as simple at this got into such a mess all due to the kids ratings…
Indeed astramech is more accurate as the Spark makes them energy beings that need mechanical bodies to survive.
Sigh Go-Bots actually had it easier since they were cyborgs they could just be boys and girls.
Well, the term “robot” is rather loose when it comes to transformers at this point.
Because 1) they’re robots why do they need to gender themselves is how some have seen it and 2) Transformers is or back in the 80s was considered a boys toyline so there was need for fembots especially if they didn’t have a toy to promote.
It’s a whole crazy history.
Sexual reproduction wouldn’t the weirdest thing to turn out to be a thing but it’s a bit of world building any continuity probably won’t get into since this a franchise that still needs to be kid friendly-ish.
Though Mainframe did detail Blackarachnia’s x-rays with some uh “tubes” in her pelvic area so make of that what you will.
Having any argument over transformer sexes is absurd. Yes, they have females, I don’t see why that’s such an issue that some writers have to make inane plotlines to justify females existing.
Heck, the very few females existing in G1, to me, helped explain why the transformers as a species were on the verge of extinction and just how terrible the war really was.
Granted the process of transformers reproduction has been constantly up for debate, but the humanoid shape and the plotline that humans and transformers share a vague connection due to the Unicron/Primus connection has been enough for me to just accept that there are males and females.
In the New IDW yes but the Cygate here make it feel as if this cover is influenced by Old IDW.
Maybe they should have made Whirl Pinkie Pie.
The current comics are actually an entirely new continuity that started last year. Given that female Transformers were normal from the start in this one, I doubt Arcee has the same history.
@Jacalope
I don’t think that one went over well with anyone.
Edited
I really did not feel that it was necessary to make a story of the mad scientist to justify Arcee, only to make sex more than by reproduction, it is only by identification with the variety of bodies and voices … it is that they are robots for the love of god .
Because writer Simon Furman didn’t think robots needed to be classified as females so he justified Arcee’s existence as a mad scientist’s experiment to introduce females into the species.
Later writers would come in to spend the rest of the Old IDW continuity rectconning that femmes had been natural to Cybertron but phased out at some point that colonies established in the past still had females and that some bots that started as male felt “she” was what felt right for them including Arcee but her transition was not done right.
Duuurrrr, really?
It’s a matter of good storytelling vs. bad storytelling.
This just in; bad guys do bad things that the viewer should be unsettled about, therefore wanting the heroes to defeat them.

Wait, what? that’s so dark… how is possible that Hasbro founds fine the “feminization experiment” thing in first place? how that don’t pissed Hasbro and leaves IDW without the licences?
@KnightMysterio
Yeah it’s more like Arcee’s procedure was not the standard for those kinds of operations she had a crappy doctor basically.
I was wondering about that. Seemed pretty “off” back when I read it.
That got retconned to ‘just tortured by Jhiaxus’ because holy shit way to insult the trans community.
Is she still axe-crazy over being subjected to a feminization experiment by Jhiaxus?
Indeed it is.
That’s a good thing! Let them!
Some part of me is pleased that it’s been 10 years, yet pastel equines are STILL the go to material to set off everyone.
