Is Airazor the most bland fembot of Transformers?
>>93876634
>Lipstick
Worst thing to happen to Transformers. Things can be female without being feminine, SJWs.
>>93876634
That's not Arcee
>>93876634
she becomes interesting when she becomes a gay guy and starts crossdressing
>>93877435
Wouldn't that be more of the "SJW" take, anyway?
>>93877435
Have you considered thinking before posting?
What about Botanica?
>>93878630
I had blocked her from memory
>>93876634
She was okay.
>>93878630
Also okay, would have been better in a better series but the character isn't irredeemably tainted.
>>93880025
Yes, must delete from memory.
>>93878630
Save from the shitty Beast Machines design and the awful accent that Kathleen Barr is putting on, Botanica is all right.
>>93876634
Airazor is interesting. Obviously she was born because Bob and Larry wanted another girl in the show. Hasbro obviously didn't want it, so with her character, Bob and Larry were like walking on eggshells trying to balance writing a young girl Hasbro-approved action hero voiced by a 50 year old lady.
In my opinion, the result was kinda cringe worthy, but it was all worth it whenever she got hurt and was moaning in pain. I also like the Tigatron/Airazor thing and that their love gave birth to the ambiguously gendered Transformer god Tigerhawk. That's quality lore, a key ingredient of Beast Wars.
>>93876634
I'm gonna slap your shit, I swear on me mum!
>>93876634
No, there are PLENTY of others who are blander

>>93876634
Airazor was fine, she just got no time to develop before she got shitcanned, which amusingly happened just before Hasbro decided to give her a dedicated toy (the first Transformer toy designed to be a female from the get-go). And then she just got constantly shat on for the rest of the show including suffering identity death and then total physical death within three episodes.
Shit was bleak.
>>93876634
It always bothered me that her gun was supposed to look like a bird foot despite coming from her tail, and her bird feet obviously being her robot feet
>>93878630
has more going on for her than airazor. character and relationship-wise
>not TM version
Probably? I haven't watched the show in a while,but I think literally the only thing she had going for her was her romance with Tigatron, then getting turned into Tigerhawk.

>never appearing in anything ever
>>93885414
She appeared on store shelvesand in my heart
>>93885414
>>never appearing in anything ever
>>93877435
People like this should be thrown in the river at birth.
>>93885494
I like her too, anon.I even approved of FunPub shit just because they used her in something

>reading Airazor's wiki entry

>concept ep that went nowhere in which AR and BA leave their factions to team up
Let's talk about this for a minute. This concept intrigues mehypothetical season 2 plotline where Blackarachnia Maximal lover is Airazor instead of Silverbolt
>>93888439
>whole episode dedicated to bumblebee
This is everything I ever wanted but that thumbnail is throwing me off what a dealbreaker
>>93877435
Pfhahaha, what?
Fuck I wish I had the Laughing Mantis pic your shit is just ridiculous.
>>93882572
>including suffering identity death
From the wiki:
>He's got Tigatron's voice but Airazor's mannerisms.
>>93884651
There were hints of the romance building up along the way, but it never actually happened until right before they were captured. Airazor the was Maximal's aerial scout, usually pulled back in for backup in fights, and had a dry sarcastic wit.
>>93885414
>>93877590
But Arcee had the ass.
>>93889325
>>93889364
>>93889353
Only in that comic-specific universe.
>>93889391
>>93889391
Arcee is widely known for her BUTT
>>93891524
They don't call her "Arsey" for nothing!
Still better than Blackarachnia.
>>93891708
Shut up, Boco.
>>93891793
Yes sir...
>>93891708
that said, whatever happened to Blackarachnias Giant Robot Tits?
>>93891887
Good question. He was cool.
>>93889295
>>including suffering identity death
>From the wiki:
>>He's got Tigatron's voice but Airazor's mannerisms.
Allegedly their sparks merged. I know in some spin-off stuff they un-merged again, but having your soul permanently meld with another's sounds like identity death to me. Sure the fusion might have some of her mannerisms, but it's still not her. But hey, what do I know. Giant alien transforming robots.
>>93881300
I really wish Depth Charge and Tigerhawk switched their number of episodes in season 3 - DC is kinda cool, but it's that "grr I'm an edgy loner out for revenge" coolness that dilutes more the longer he's a team player.
You could've nailed his entire character arc in a couple episodes including the finale, while Tigerhawk would've really benefited by having more episodes to explore all the unanswered questions he/she raised.
>>93891708
u wot m8? Blackarachnia was one of the most fleshed out characters in the show.inb4 fleshed out/boobs joke
>>93894901
it's a fucking crime TM BA was only in two episodes or something
>>93897725
>Cheetor and BA's TM2 forms are given slow burning build ups, resulting in them not having little actual screen time
>Tigerhawk's troubled production story
>Dinobot's missing plot episode
I'm surprised there isn't much discussion in the fandom abut a hypothetical 4th season of BW, because they were obviously setting up for the long term rather than ending on 3.
I mean, given the choice, I'd much rather have TFA's 4th season because there was concrete work done on it and the show needed it.
>>93891929
Speaking of, I'd love some 3p fembots based on Sakamotos art.
>>93898042
buddy i am about to blow your mind
>>93876634
I liked her, but its a shame she's just relegated to being Tigatron's partner. Its ashame she didn't get a chance to do more before getting shoved off on tracking missions with him all the time. Early on, she was spunky and energetic, and I liked her voice, it was sultry without being overtly sexy, it gave me a real blues-y sort of feel.
I'm intrigued by her enough that I used her for a TF fiction idea that uses a mish-mash of different series/continuities characters, mainly to use her asher own character and not just a derivative of Tigatron.
>>93898088
I know of that, I mean not retooled decade old toys.
I want Snusnu Chromia.
>>93898042
I like Blackarachnia.
Pity she took the knot.
>>93898247
slap some sculpting putty on
>>93898288
Not enough putty for my nutty.
>>93898501
>>93898541
All I want is thicc robo girls with abs and heaving bonnets.

>I liked her, but its a shame she's just relegated to being Tigatron's partner.
Pretty much. Tigatron was probably the least interesting character in all of Beast Wars. Like, even one-note guys like Scorponok had some fun moments, but Tigatron was just the eternal wet blanket eco-message muh wilderness character, and he just dragged Airazor down into being his secondary. I realize they had issues writing good material for Tigatron, but surely having a female maximal wasn't that horrible?
I really wanted her apparent team up episode with Blackarachnia
>>93888771
>>93899468
Did BA and Airrazor even meet?
Beast Wars liked to waste characters especially the maximal ones
What about how they made Transmutate autistic and they actually made Rampage like her
>>93876634
Her character just turned into "cool aunt" for me when I heard her voice but other than that she got no development. I think she ended up the least-developed Maximal? I love BW, but I know Hasbro still wasn't to fembot-friendly at the time BW was airing.
>>93899681
Thats not Rhinox
>>93899523
Yeah, a couple times. The whole reason she started teaming up with Tigatron was to take down Blackarachnia, who had taken over an alien flying island.
So how are is Air razors new versions in the comics is she just tigatrons cock toy
>>93878630
I actually really like the idea of a monster plant alt-mode, but Botanica had the misfortune of existing in Beast Machines, where the Transformers didn't actually transform and instead magically shapeshifted. Her design was so stylized that there wasn't any real difference between her two modes, both were just abstract plant-woman.
>>93899723
Rhinox was pretty well developed. He was a tech-shaman. Also team muscle, until power creep started setting in. He was stoic and humble, capable of being a good leader or cunning warrior, but preferring to put his skills elsewhere.
>>93899523
>hate these two as a couple
>but would have loved them with the genders reversed
What sorcery is this?
>>93900082
uhhhh
>>93889391
I played this game. I remember having fun with it, despite it being a very basic fighter.
I think the final boss was a chrome Megatron or something. It was weird.
Beast Wars Megatron is amazing how come we never get any more of him?

Best fembot
Hey guys, I was directed here from /toy/ and this is the most relevant thread. Supposedly you guys have a Mega of all the IDW Transformer comics? If I could get a link that'd be great

Thanks a bunch

>Boco is wrong again
Gee, what are the odds?
Forgetting the most important female transformer
>>93901977
BW Transmutate is nonbinary. Uprising Transmutate, on the otherhand...
>>93901233
>>93901233
It seems to want to download every issue individually, is there any way I can get it to download the same way it is in the Mega so its a bit more organized?
>>93902181
your mouse has two buttons for a reason
>>93902281
Its still gonna be over 2GB and even Mega is warning me that then I need 7zip and I'm not going down that malware path again
>>93902384
well then m8 it looks like you have a choice to make
>>93902552
Oh also, whats a good program to view them in? I rarely read comics, really just watch movies and TV with VLC media player, is there a free equivalent to that I should download?

It's not explicitly stated in the show, but the script apparently describes Transmutate as
>a being with no beauty of form nor logic of shape, massive, made of unmatched parts: bits of Predacon, pieces of Maximal, chunks of Fuzor and Transmetal, heavy-duty weapons, and a face that vaguely indicates it is female
and the voice actress was Susan Blu, who was also interestingly enough the voice of Arcee. So you could make a case for it beng female.

>For God's sake Gonzo, let your animators go home to your wives!
>>93902927
Yes, that line of greentext isn't spoken in the show, it's just how it was described by the writers. They only reference Transmutate as "it" in the actual episode itself.
>>93903000
Lol
Seeing as some beast wars character like Tarantulas and Terrosaur were shown to eat food, I wonder if she shits white
