What about Botanica?

>>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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
