While I'm okay with genderswapping Transformers in shows to better balance gender ratios, I do wish that wasn't apparently the first resort for writers once they've grabbed Arcee, Elita-1, and/or Windblade instead of just... Using one of the many female Transformers that already exist.
Other female characters I want to see animated:
Autobot Road Rage, my tippy top pick. She is so cool and sexy.
Decepticon Spacewarp. She's a deep space explorer that has lots of different adventures and finds herself questioning the Decepticon cause.
Megaempress and the Four Guards. For the love of all things good, please pull a Ruckley and write these ladies something decent because the Unite Warriors comics are terrible with them.
Autobot Javelin, sharpshooter and warrior! She has a really cool design and I think there are some really interesting ways you can take her character, especially if you bounce off the IDW2 story where she's traumatized from getting a head injury in combat!
Decepticon sleeper agent Flip Side. I want to see a dedicated story arc based off of her story with Blaster and how she deals with realizing her life was a lie.
Pyra Magna and the Torchbearers/Rust Renegades. While Victorion showed up in the Prime Wars trilogy, the separate components didn't seem to do so. I think either story from IDW1 or IDW2 would be fantastic story to explore in an animated story!
What female characters who've never been animated (or perhaps showed up for maybe 5 seconds) would you like to see?

Japanese G1 continuity is absolutely not normal about girls but damned if they don't give us some of the best ones
There was a significant amount of Transformers continuity released between 1987 and around 2007 that was produced in Japanese and is really only known to most English-speaking fans through fansubs, dubs that were only released in Australia, and the like. Shows like Headmasters, Victory, and Zone. Manga like Victory and 15 Go Go Go Teletraan (which was really mostly Kiss Players). Radio shows like Kiss Players.
I'm gonna be super up front. Japanese G1 is not normal about femmes in any way, shape or form. At the same time, it gave us some of the BEST and most underused female characters in the Transformers universe.
Headmasters, which came out right after the US G1 show ended, is particularly egregious. In Headmasters, Arcee has been reduced to Fort Max's administrative assistant, uses ridiculously polite and subservient language, and is also the only medic. And being a medic would be kind of badass if they let her be as badass as Ratchet, you know? But they absolutely do not.
Also, in Headmasters, Carly (now married to Spike) allows her son--a freaking child, not even a teenager--to go on missions when Spike can't and a human is needed, because uh, for some reason it's better for a 12 year old boy to go, not an adult woman?
But most of the good femmes don't come from Headmasters. And some of the best femmes we have are from Japanese G1.
Super-God Masterforce made it up to us by giving gave us Minerva, a human girl who is a Headmaster with a robot body (transtector) making her basically a bad ass mecha pilot, and who actively does fight.
The Victory manga gives us Esmeral, Deathsaurus' incredibly classy wife, and Lyzack, Leozack's twin sister, who is in charge of defending the homefront but really does want to go out and fight. Illumina appears in both the Victory manga and the anime. She's a little human girl who has a crush on Jan Minakaze and is always trying to get people to choose nonviolence.
(Lyzack later appears in an English-language comic - the Wings Universe--wherein she's basically Deathsaurus' servant and Starscream hits on her. I don't like that.)
There are a number of great femmes who were only ever toys. The Cobalt Sentries set gave us Howlback, leader of the Decepticon military police (called the Cobalt Sentries). She is basically Ravage's twin sister but instead of being super stealthy she can turn your attacks right back on you.
(Later she appears in several English language comics and in at least one she is canonically trans. I'm not a fan of her depiction in the SG Recordicons Batman tribute arc, though.)
The Unite Warriors toyline - Takara's response to Combiner Wars, basically - gave us the combiner Megatronia, made up of Megaempress, and her four guards, Lunaclub (sometimes called Luna Clover or Luna Trefle), Flowspade, Moonheart, and Trickdiamond. They are incredibly awesome.
(IDW 2019 used Trickdiamond, but none of the others. Tricky was one of Swindle's contacts.)
Then there's the elephant in the room that everyone pretends isn't there...Kiss Players.
So, okay. There is nothing normal about Kiss Players whatsoever. On the other hand, I'd rather listen to KP than watch RID2015 which is just blatant copaganda from hell.
Kiss Players had an interesting plot involving little bits of Galvatron and Unicron getting into humans and creating the Kiss Players--humans who could give TFs a powerup by kissing them and then merging with their internals somehow. Then there are the Legions, the dick-tongued monsters that everyone who hasn't actually listend to the show or read the manga thinks are Megatron.
The dick-tongued monsters are gross. It is also gross that some of the Kiss Players are barely teenagers and definitely not adults and are constantly ending up in Situations.
But the plot centres around the apparent rise of Convoy, or Optimus, from the dead, and his transformation into a weird groomery dude, which many people don't understand there was an actual reason for, because it's not Optimus, it's someone else riding around in his body.
Melissa Faireborn is like if you chopped Marissa Faireborn's IQ in half, dyed her hair blond and threw out any pants or skirts that covered her knees. She is nothing like Marissa and I treat them as cousins, but Xiaoxiao Li is amazing and her real lover.
Anyhow, this female scientist (Dr Amaou) lost her mind over the loss of her daughter during the events of the 1986 movie et sequelae, and she's got to be stopped from turning Atari and her Autorooper robot pal into a permanent fusion to reincarnate her daughter Shizuku (whom for some reason I always want to call Setsuna instead).
It's a little confusing because most of the really good parts of the plot got jammed into a few episodes near the end of the season, although once you know what it is, it's clear that it's being set up. That artist just likes borderline lolicon way too much.
The second season of KP is very squeaky clean and sends the girls out to collect what they think are Allspark fragments, and they are very annoyed because Ravage, whom they call "black panther man" keeps getting in their way and fucking with them, only to later find out that the bots who gave them this task are Unicronian heralds and Ravage is trying to stop them from helping Unicron do what Unicron does.
Rosanna, everyone's favourite robot pop idol, comes from the second season of KP, although you don't see very much of her or her companions Glit and Sundor.
Incidentally KP sets up the Unicron Trilogy and some of its characters end up in the UT--which did come to the US, and gave us Alexis Thi Dang.
(This post is brought to you because I just wrote an Esmeral thing and someone was musing separately about Megaempress as a parent and I almost ended up writing this post while reblogging them, because I'm a nerd with a hyperfixation).

Title: What is There to Say? Fandom: IDW2 Ship: Trickdiamond/Andromeda Word Count: 100 Rating: G Summary: Andromeda wants a scoop but Trickdiamond just wants her attention. A/N: For TF Femslash February's prompt "secret"! If I'd been looking ahead, I probably would've saved Jump/up for this one instead but such is life. While you're here, consider donating to Care for Gaza.
.
Trickdiamond leaned back in her seat, a shrug hiding how her plating rustled when Andromeda leaned across the table after her, and stared idly out at the crowed. No one was getting too rowdy or paying them any mind. Good.
Andromeda huffed and said, "Come on, Trickdiamond. You know whatever you tell me is off the record."
"I don't know what makes you so sure I have anything to tell," said Trickdiamond, swirling her glass of engex.
"Ha! You've been entertaining me all night for some reason," said Andromeda with a grin.
Trickdiamond hid her own grin behind her drink.

Transformers Warfare: Megaempress & The Five Guards
As one of the few all femme combiners teams known to exist, Megaempress and her Five Guards are among some of the highest ranked Decepticons, with Megaempress even being considered for an alternate second-in-command to Megatron in case Starscream outlives his usefulness. But like the egotistical Seeker, Megaempress desires power and views Megatron as an obstacle in her way to obtaining it. Time will tell if she follows in Starscream's footsteps. After all, her team is already a force to be reckoned with.
Megaempress
The self proclaimed Empress of Destruction, Megaempress, much like Megatron himself, is charismatic and powerful, and very willing to flaunt it. Though she has a coral of bodyguards aiding her, she is unafraid to step into battle and show her foes exactly how she got such a high place in the Decepticon army.
Megaempress transforms into a Mitsubishi Fuso Great fire engine. She is armed with a rail fusion cannon and a "Judge Pickel" axe. Yes, she's aware of how ridiculous that name is.
Lunaclub
The younger and far more immature twin sister to Moonheart, Lunaclub is your average Starscream fangirl. Though she is loyal to Megaempress, as an inherit member of Megatronia, it certainly wouldn't surprise anybody if she suddenly fell in with the Seeker... especially with rumors that Starscream is planning to splinter away from Megatron, and take a few troops with him in the process. Only tIme will tell where Lunaclub ends up, however.
Lunaclub transforms into a Aérospatiale SA 360 Dauphin. She is armed with a Flame Sword and has the elemental ability to control fire.
Moonheart
Lunaclub's far calmer and less excitable sister, Moonheart is the medic of the team. Originally serving under Soundwave in the early days of the war, Moonheart would later join with Megaempress, where she would prove to be a valuable, loyal member.
Like her sister, Moonheart transforms into a Aérospatiale SA 360 Dauphin. Unlike her sister, she has the elemental ability to control water and wields a "Blizzard Blade".
Flowspade
Originally serving Shockwave during the war, Flowspade was won over by Megaempress's charisma and became genuinely loyal to her, officially joining the Five Guards. Now serving as a spy for "her empress", Flowspade is a protective warrior, and one who always aims to please.
Flowspade transforms into a Ferrari 458 Italia. She is armed with a "Tornado Cutter" blade and has the elemental ability to control wind.
Trickdiamond
A Decepticon with ties to damn near everyone and everything, most notably Swindle, Trickdiamond is the least trustworthy member of the 5 Guards. She is a cutthroat business woman who refuses to take anything seriously, save for her money making schemes, of which she is in charge of several.
Trickdiamond transforms into a Lamborghini Countach. She is armed with a "Quake Shield" and has the elemental ability to control earth.
Stormjoker
One of the less notable members of the Five Guards, Stormjoker originally had ties to the Insecticons, but her alt mode and general cleanliness meant she never quite fit into the group, which made her desperate for connection. However, after forming Megatronia for the first time, the shock to her core left her numb, and now she's is a bot who prides herself in her individuality, and one with a fear of intimacy. Time will tell if she outgrows this... or if she even stays with the team.
Stormjoker transforms into a Honda Goldwing GL1200. Unlike her other teammates, she has no control over any elements, but she is armed with twin vaporator cannons.
Thunderblast
Nominally a member of the 5 Guards, Thunderblast, like many other Decepticons, is obsessed with power. But rather then trying to obtain it herself, she'd rather let somebody else do the heavy lifting while she latches onto them as a romantic consort. While this normally earns her the ire of many a higher ranking Decepticon. Megaempress, on the other hand, has no qualms about this action... which is probably why she's Thunderblast's latest focus of attention. Megaempress is all too pleased to keep the femme by her side, should she have need for a replacement limb for Megatronia... or a bullet shield.
Thunderblast transforms into a speedboat. She is armed with a big ass missile launcher almost as long as she is tall, and a Neutron Assault Rifle.
Megatronia
Ultimate weapon of Megaempress and her 5 Guards, Megatronia is a powerful fusion of the 6 female Decepticons, and perhaps one of the more put together combiners, mentally speaking. Though as loud and boisterous as, say, Bruticus, she's far more stable, and that makes her a far more dangerous combatant, even for another combiner.
Megatronia, as a combined form, has no alternate mode. She is armed with Destopia, a powerful blade with a vibrating edge said to be capable to slicing through anything and everything.

I was in the mood to draw one of my characters in a hot outfit and realized that I've never drawn my hf Trickdiamond in my full "standard" style, only in my simplified style. So she gets to be today's subject! This outfit from UnknownSpy's DressUpTober works really well for her, I think!
