RID #10

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

I've always felt like Amy (Aimee? is it a weird spelling?) knows her stuff, but is a little less vocal than the fellas. And that seems more connected to nerd culture in general, and the way nerdy girls are marginalized.

Although tbh, even though they're sexless, the TFs are all "hes" and to some degree, these comics are one giant circle jerk. I suppose we can't even get started on the fact that transgenderism drove Arcee to endless violence...
Correction.

Forced transgenderism. With. Out. Anaesthesia.(!)

This would drive me to endless violence as well.

As I say, I'd lean more towards "Jhiaxus was responsible for her" as an explanation. Everyone else he was involved with seems to have ended up a similar way. Kinda disappointed in his definitions of improvement, really, when being a crazed killer seems to be one of his criteria for success.

Jhiaxus: "I just improved the toaster!"
Bludgeon: "Oh, great, it makes better toast? More toast?"
Jhiaxus: "No, it makes the same toast, but now IT TRIES TO KILL YOU WHILE IT MAKES THE TOAST!"

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.
