Ever since Earthspark, I have stuck with the fan theory that the Decepticon Frenzy was always a girl the whole time, but we never realized it because when she was younger, she was a tomboy and a kid. When she became a teenager and physically matured as well as began to tap into her girly side just a touch, it was revealed that she was a girl.

Rumble: Yo, sis, you look like..... A girl! Frenzy: What did you think I was, you moron?! Soundwave: Twins, cease and desist quarrelling. Frenzy, your new look does raise questions. Frenzy: What questions, dad? What's so left field about my new look? Can't a girl make some changes? Soundwave: I have never seen you wear lipstick or don false nails that are magenta above all else. Also, you never reveal your hair. *smells* Or wear crystal scented hairspray. Frenzy:... Ravage: Frenzy? Rumble: Are you trying to impress a guy? Frenzy: Shut up! Laserbreak: Yup. She is. Frenzy: You too or you're hot wings! Soundwave: *chuckles* Frenzy, whatever your reasons, they are yours and if your new presentation gives you joy, that is what matters.

They are out and Hotrod who is a teenager walks by...

Hotrod: Oh, hey, Soundwave. Hey, kids. Soundwave: Greetings. Frenzy: Hi, Hotrod~ *smiles wide blushing a bit* Hotrod: Hey, Frenzy, are you doing something new with your hair? It's nice. *goes* Frenzy: He liked my hair~ Rumble: *is on the floor* I knew it! I knew it! Frenzy's got a crush and on Roddy! Hahahahahaha! Frenzy: I am going to kill you!

In the defense of Transformer females who are designed to be buxom and voluptuous vixens...

While I am 110% for not designing them to look like they're naked, reducing them to just being eye candy and to be more than just token character, even in real life, sometimes how modest, how covered and how casual a woman dresses, you're still going to notice that she has big boobs, an hourglass figure and just be naturally hot. You can't choose your body after all and women who are just naturally beautiful and sexy are not attention seeking tramps. They are good people. So I see no harm in making some female characters like that which extends to giving them double Ds as long as they are dressed classy and appropriately for the right times. For instance, you have to be a fool to wear a bikini on the battlefield and stuff like earrings aren't smart either lol. Battle armor should be practical. Though when the setting is a casual thing or something else, I don't see a problem with them having alternate armors or outfits that are cute because in casual settings, it is fun to see the clothes on both men and women of different lifestyles.

With that said, I stand by my counter argument that nobody complains when we give the male Transformers very sexy masculine features like pecs, six packs, bugles and in some cases, facial hair or design their helms to look like hair or as part of the uniforms indicating their jobs like these fellas.

Like... It's pretty hypocritical to be so hard on allowing a female Transformer to have natural feminine features unique to the female body, but not bat an eye lash when the guys get to look like guys as much or as little as they want. Like I also said before, giving Transformers gendered features is good clean fun not a statement or an attack. Besides, natural male and female beauty is wonderful to look at. Not that androgyny isn't beautiful. It can be cool too especially if you love the more alien looking Transformers. Shockwave's design is iconic for a reason and I personally love Whirl's. It's got personality to me.

This doesn't mean you can't have tomboys or unconventional looking female Transformers. That too is necessary because that also makes them feel natural. Women come in different shapes and sizes, and they have different lifestyles. Though from an artistic standpoint, a certain amount of aesthetic is necessary otherwise it looks kind of clownish. Plus, even in real life, if the armor doesn't fit, it won't protect. It's why I love Strongarm's design. It's not feminine, but it fits her, it feels professional, she is still dressed well, and you know what? It is beautiful. She doesn't look like she's hiding or trying to be one of the boys like a child trying to prove herself. She is saying "I CAN do this, so get out of my way!"

But also, there's nothing wrong with design either. So it does have femininity and some softness to it, so what? I still wouldn't want to mess with this iron maiden. Plus, she's still made of metal meaning if your bullets and fists would do nothing. And she does look heroic, confident, serious and capable.

It's about balance, nuance, variety, setting and above all else, judging the character by merit. Not every Barbie girl is a ninny who can't hold their own. I mean, you have Elita-One who is the queen of the Autobots, an amazing leader in her own right and more than willing to jump headfirst into the fire to save the day. She may be a Barbie doll in looks and in how feminine she is, but she's the one Barbie doll who is an action figure with laser guns and who can roll with the punches. With that, not all of the tomboys are perfect. Going back to Strongarm, she was rookie who stumbled all the time and that's ok. It's what made us relate to her and it made her interesting.

Lastly, you can kind of control how you interpret a character's features in which they can only bother you if you let them. After all, a character is a work of art that is open to interpretation. I used to actually NOT like Strongarm's design, but... she grew on me and after re-evaluating it, I love it now. I think that's an attitude we need to adapt more to having when it comes to the character designs of female character.

Yes, I agree. Ditch the battle bikinis because they're embarrassing to look at and as a woman myself, it is insulting, but a certain amount of femininity is harmless and looks kind of cool.

I am not the hugest fan of Fortnite and stink at playing it... BUT the idea of a story where the multiverse interacts with itself inspires a lot of amazing ideas.

What if the best of every hero from iconic video games and films came together and formed a team that protected the multiverse?

Like the best version of Geralt from the Witcher, the best version of Solid Snake, the best version of Megaman, the best version Clementime from the Telltale Games, the best version of Kratos from God of War, the best version of Jack Sparrow, and the best version of Lucy from "I Love Lucy" all came together to form a power team?

I call the concept "The World Walkers". Their mission as assigned to them by Universe Prime (the first universe to ever exist as well as the oldest and is Utopia) to maintain the balance and well being of the multiverse by making sure every "Constant point" comes to pass all the way down to the final detail.

A constant point is an event (big or small) that happens in EVERY universe the exact same way no matter what and must happen because it how the multiverse holds itself together and every constant point has consequences that also must come to pass. For instance... every universe has a Superman of some kind.

This is possibly the most random and out of left field idea, but if Megaman/Rockman got to life his best life, I imagine he would have "grown up" to be a doctor for both humans and robots.

The way robots "grow up" is that since they have learning processors and can mature like humans have psychologically, every few years, their bodies get upgraded to look older and older to match the age they numerically and psychologically are. At least, that is how I would do it.

In the case of an adult Megaman aka Dr. Rock Light, he would bear a striking resemblance to Dr. Light with the white hair and beard except he would be slimmer and muscular like a lightweight with striking blue eyes. Much like a... robot wizard.

So real and so sweet.

There, there, Wheeljack. You should have seen how my first attempt at making a cake went lol. You'll do better next time.

Wheeljack attempts cooking for his human friends. It goes about as well as you might expect.

Half of them don’t even know what banana bread is but they’re always down to roast Wheeljack

So I'm not the only one who imagines human Optimus as being tanned with grays. I guess I imagine him that way because I associate it with him being a trucker who is on the road and outside most of the time. Plus, he looks handsome with the bronze skin.

I think I found a good balance of a more simplified style of how I made the headshots for the RBs with this. Anyways enjoy Oswald Palmer, aka Optimus Prime solo for the comic page I’m trying out

[mk-wizard]

Have redo Elita-1 with water color shadow and highlights. Also giving her the Autobot symbol, I wanted to experiment

[mk-wizard]

What you said.

I have so much love for humans and I don't understand how other people don't. Yeah, sure, this person is dirty and broken and kind of unpleasant, but they are human and that demands your respect and the protection of their dignity. Yeah, sure, that person may have a lot of needs that are inconvenient to you, but it is your responsibility to uphold their dignity and treat them with respect. Yeah sure, that person holds a belief system that you think is wildly dangerous, but you are still required to treat them with respect and dignity. Is it gonna be easy? Hell no. You're gonna have to die to self, and that's one of the hardest things you can do. But you must do it or your own humanity is at stake.

[mk-wizard]

I don't know why, but I feel like there's almost a Middle Eastern influence in her design which works especially with the earrings. She is very beautiful and badass. What are her powers?

Throws Elita-1 at you, scurries away

[mk-wizard]

Optimus and Elita-1’s kid if I go down the Op doesn’t die again plotline, cause if I did I’m keeping his aft dead as a box of rocks, except for ghost things. Anyways Hot Rod is their disaster kid, and honestly having Smokescreen AND Valkyrie as his main babysitters was just them shooting themselves in the foot for the way he turns out.

Anyways Hot Rod being older the main RBA student cast (I have no clue how timeline wise I’d actually make everything past the events of RB and TFP for All Systems Normal).

He would be older then what Strongarm and Sideswipe are in Rid15. This also goes into him being besties with my Ultra Magnus/Hightide ship kid Marinus. Cause despite his more monotone and stoic personality, he’s the life of a the party and done for practically anything.

So yeah random thoughts

[mk-wizard]

anywhos this was what I was working on. I’ll consider this Hot Rod design as the prototype version, might try again to make a full body

Maybe this is just the proud artist mom in me talking, but any school that has kindergarten children build pirate ships and racecars as a means of teaching them about science is AWESOME!!

Love and family are not trad things. They are human things. Everyone wants a family and a tribe they can have a sense of home with. It doesn't have to be a nuclear one, but if you do have a nuclear one that is good, be happy for that.

Be happy that you are loved for everyone deserves to be.

Such a sitcom father and son moment. Ratchet's face is just beautiful.

TFW you get back to base after sneaking your turbo-boosters and get caught. Like this doesn’t happen at least once a month…

[mk-wizard]

You are giving me idea.

Very, very last thing I will say on the subject and if it still doesn't convince of what I am trying to say... Then I have nothing left to say.

THIS is a female character design that is meant to objectify, be over the top and make women look bad.

This is a design that is feminine, pretty and of a female who is curvy, but she is covered, she is classy and clearly is dressed that way of her own volition.

The second design and style is the kind I go for that I also believe doesn't hurt anyone. I don't expect all females to look, dress or act this way. I just like it for this one because she is canonically feminine and sexy. Plus, if you must know, Elita-One's alt mode in my take is a racecar.
