Why do female transformers exist?

Why do female transformers exist?

Robots don't have genders.

To sell toys.

She's feminine not female

same reason why male ones exist

To get the dick.

Considering they've been around since G1, definitely to sell toys
Alternatively, to stop people from shipping the male transformers or thinking they bred through weird robot mpreg, but it didn't work

>First female to get a toy in the west was Blackarachnia, who was a recolor of Tarantulas
What did they mean by this?

>tfw your favorite artist draws cute traps, stylish anime heroes, titty monsters and transformers porn

Ban really is /myguy/.

so that the one girl who likes them has a toy she can self identify with

It's just a different chassis

>that fucking vaginal slit

Usually? To sell toys and to die gruesome deaths, just like the rest of the transformers.

Windblade comes to mind.

To please MUH DICK

to make little transformers

...

Yes

>*sniffs in your direction*
>"user...your pheromone levels are suggesting you want to mate with someone."

I sure love not being able to make out shit from a picture.

Arcee gets my motor running

delet this

Lore reasons? They don't, transformers are sexless and only perform "gender" as humans would understand it as a fun aesthetic. Their actual identities that would align closely with human sexual/gender identity are more closely linked with spark/frametypes/altmode mismatches.

Real reasons? Robot boobs, to make it seem less gay and to get more girls to buy robot toys.

But girls like boy robots like Starscream and Megatron

>Why do female transformers exist?

I dont know why ....but Thanks Primus for that .

In IDW originally it was due to a mad scientist

Company execs do not think this way. In fact, if girls are recorded liking stuff they're not meant to like, generally changes are made to the show and its' marketing.

Also lots of girls tend to like characters that are definitely female that they can root for/identify more with/whatever, and kids are responsible for more toy sales.

Perverts will also proabably buy more toys to jizz on if they are hot female robots.

>robot boobs

But why when Shockwave already existed?

Specifically, girls like boy robots like Starscream and Megatron fucking.

Shockwave has no cleavage. Just a huge monoboob

Who doesn't like that?

The G1 cartoons wanted damsels in distress.

Waifus
Little did they know that Starscream would end up more people's waifu than any of the female robots

Don't talk shit about my first Husbando!

Well Starscream is in more episodes than all of them

The idea of Shockwave being secretly female all this time is amusing to me.

Like nobody bothered to ask or care because they're such a weirdo all things considered.

I think the canon, as far as that goes with Transformers, reason is that after being exposed to different species that have sexual dimorphism, some of them decided "Yeah, that seems right for me, with the wide hips, and the pink paintjob, and the bits on the chest."

Bullshit answer- They're TRANSformers for a reason.

You're not wrong

Well not with that attitude.

>who doesn't like that
Shockwave obviously

You fucking fools

Well that's not true, androids and gynoids are specifically made to be male and female respectively.

In current comic continuity, Jihaxus was intrigued by the concept of gender and sex, so he went Mad Scientist on Arcee and turned her from a gender neutral cybertronian into a female, just to see the psychological and social effects of introducing gender into a formerly genderless society. It also had the side effect of driving her insane. Whodathunk that completely twisting someone's sense of self and identity could have other negative psychological effects?

There's a nice little bit that she calls out when another Transformer is referring to her. "You're saying it again."
"What?"
"'She'."
It's a subtle bit of horror. Some part of the other Transformers know Arcee is different and they use specific gendered pronouns to refer to her without even realizing that they're doing it, that to them she is Other, even if they don't consciously realize or accept it.

There's also the long-isolated city that was all-female, but aside from the Windblade mini-series, I have no info on them, so I can't give more details other than they were separated from Cybertron for millions of years and in that time, they thought robo-tits and birthing hips would be good accessories.

>this fucking faggotry dance again.
You can't have gender without sex user, any use of masculine/feminine terms, behaviours and culture by a sexless robot is just conformation to a stereotype and/or pandering

I don't mind cybertronians, after not spending around with a bunch of other sexless transforming robots decide that, wait... I think I prefer female/male pronouns as being... incorrect.

I just think that if they're going to go that route, they may as well also include a minor body reformat to show that they've decided to be male or female.

Like your standard blocky transformer should be the sexless kind, they just respond to he as a literary construction to help move the dialogue.

Then you get the ones that decide, yeah... actually... I'm male. And get broad shoulders and large chins.

And then you get the ones that go: Wait a minute, I like this whole female thing. And they get slender waists and rounded chests.

Or maybe I'm just being completely fucktarded about the whole thing.

I heard that the most recent movie had a female submarine Transformer, but they don't show her robot mode. Is this true?

I like female robots.
Though anything more than 'oh, it's she, not he' gets annoying.
Not because of the story, it's the backlash from the readers bitching about there being girls in their franchise.

>sexless robot is just conformation to a stereotype
So, a gender.

>and in that time, they thought robo-tits and birthing hips would be good accessories.

Nope. Robo-tits and birthing hips were a thing among Cybertronians from the very beginning; Solus Prime, created by Primus himself, was a fembot.

She gathered up all the other fembots and bailed to start her own colony and -as I recall- the budding functionist movement ended up quietly eradicating all the ladies that remained on Cybertron because robo-tits and birthing hips served no practical purpose in their society.

>You'll never tongue fuck Airachnid's spinneret as you slam her from behind

This existence is inferior.

She constantly made me thing of The Boss, especially because her partner was Jack.

They are space robots with a society that already doesn't make sense with a shitton of references to Earth things with a techy-prefix in front of it, English puns and expressions, and redundant inconsistent explanations of how they work to the point easiest explanation is "it depends on the continuity". There are female Transformers because they are written by humans.

because we create fiction based in our human nature. It's not common to create a fictional race without gender because we humans have genders. I good storyteller can do it without letting its humanity rule his creativity.

In some universes its to mimic other cultures, thereby making them seem more familiar and less threatening.

real answer: to sell toys and try to appeal to girls

canon answer: When you don't have a way of categorizing some things about yourself, and the differences between some people, then you don't always notice them. When introduced to a name for a concept you see the shape of it better, and things that fit it, in your mind, fit it even more than they really do. So when you see those things in yourself you pull them out and focus on them more.

Genderless alien robots being introduced to the concept of gender will then look at what is attributed to the genders they see and if they see a bit of themselves represented there they will begin to identify with that concept more, and they'll allow those aspects of their personality to become exaggerated, and in some cases set loose when previously held back.

Terry Pratchett did this with the dwarves in the discworld books. It was interesting.

It felt more to me an excuse to have a trans character but it doesn't really matter since IDW Arcee's a cool character on her own

No Arcee will ever top the Shattered Glass one.

And it worked, I have mine

Is that the Generations one?

because male anons needs robowaifus too

Why are there female Transformers? Cause all guys want to bang a robot. They just don't want to admit it.

yes, I think there are one more new with better paint app but this one is decent in my oppinion

Strongarm is a cute.
Her and the new thicc kitty from Voltron are nice.

Why do male transformers exist?
Why would robots have any gender at all?

Who the fuck thought THAT was a good idea?

It's the worst idea I've heard of in all of transformersdom, at least that didn't come from Walky.

Cross breeding with males of other species

To make the penis go 'WHEE!'

Because Simon Furman failed us all.

Speaking of, I decided to actually read Marvel G1.
Man, the first two issues are...not great. It picks up from 3 onwards though, pretty fun stuff.

>Why do male transformers exist?
See, here's the thing. Arcee didn't originally exist. Originally, Transformers were all these boxy genderless robots. They were not male, they were just robots.

Introduction of Arcee, who was clearly "female" with birthing hips and such, retroactively made all the normal transformers "male". They didn't have genders before her, but they did after her.

girls dont buy transformers toys

So the human companions wouldn't feel gay when they rubbed their crotch against the vehicle

Only boobs and curves.

Funny how Furman's stuff was the highlight of that series.

>new thicc kitty from Voltron

?

They had female Autobots long before Arcee existed.

...

>Well, I remember bringing up that question early on with Hasbro, "are any of these female?" And then I think Hasbro's attitude was, 'this is a boy toy. We don't wanna have, you know, girl robots.' So, I said, "OK, just want to clarify that.

They all suck and nobody likes them.

BEING A DECEPTICON FAG IS PAINFUL, BUT ATLEAST WE HAVE BEST GRILL.

Pretty blind of Hasbro not to realize girl robots are the ultimate boy's toy.

they have genders just not a sex.

>Never get into TF
>Check some stuff out
>For every good character there's like four nothings standing around trying to shout their names loudly.

Fuck toy cartoons/comics.

Decepticons have best everything.

...

>Strongarm
>with a nose

Creepy.

because people would think that a race of only male looking robots is gay.

Maybe some quintesson bullshit i dunno, maybe they created sexbots and they evolved beyond sex.

I'm pretty much the same way. I like Starscream, Optimus, Bumblebee, and a couple other Decepticons but fuck me if you ask me to remember anyone else.

>everyone already forgot about bestgirl

Not enough thicc

>because people would think that a race of only male looking robots is gay.
Have you ever read a transformers comic?

>not keeping up with bestgirl's appearances

check the old jap transformers, some are cool, others are demon worshiping decepticons who fight autobots with religious undertones.

Also Star Saber

>forgetting my image when I post

...

oh yeah...i did.

>Primus hates you.

There's plenty more that are memorable or likable, but there are just so fucking many that are literally nothing and only exist to try and convince the stupid kids to buy really ugly, uninteresting toys.

to this day no one questions female gobots. they just exist and no one gives a second thought even if a lot of them don't have traditional female ("sexy") bodies.

Well yeah. They were a normal organic race. Makes sense there are females.

would you squeeze Airazor's breasts even if they are an oversized bird's head?

The first few issues were originally intended to be a self-contained mini-series, and the guy who wrote them didn't stick around.

Shit yeah. That feathery shit's soft as fuck.
