   The cruelest part is that it’s really a guy robot modded with a feminine body and is now forced to pretend to be a girl. That’s how I view the comic anyways.

       Spoken like someone who never read any of the “Femme’s Unite!” fanfic back in the late 90s.

       There’s a LOOOOAD of Transformers porno out there.

   Why not have them fold into wings so she has clearance and can fly?

   Someone in marketing saw there was going to be a girl transformer and a boat transformer and tried to minimize their loss of sales by combining the two.

   Every time I see this comic I can’t help but think “Hey, she looks like Joyce!”

   As I read this comic, I couldn’t help thinking; “Why should a robot have a male or female aspect? A machine would not desire gender definition. An android might, but to design a robot with gender definition is superfluous to its programming (ie, car manufacturing robots are pretty damn cool-looking, but no-one has felt the need to add gender definition to their appearance). Robots have no need for gender and are not (yet) programmed with a sense of idendity or even true sentience. Go-Bots and their nemeses are “Androids in Disguise.”
   Maybe *that* was the sticking point that kept me from caring about the show when I was a kid.
   The toys were pretty cool until I figured out the puzzle. Then they were boring. It was only the *really difficult* ones that I liked, but they didn’t sell as well coz most of the kids couldn’t figure them out.

   (And the best games of battleship were the ones I played with my dad on graph paper!)

     There should be a closing quotation after “…desire gender definition.”

   To be fair, not all girl transformers are like that, it’s just her because she is based off a very badly designed toy. And her wiki page is disturbing:
