i uh just googled this guy and um you're not alone anymore, op!

wow

i would watch the series alone just for this handsome fella, but the colors/character designs they use hurt my eyes D:

(Anonymous) 2013-08-24 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
also don't feel bad op, they're all sleek lines and cool colors and have personalities so it's not like they're designed to be ugly or unappealing or anything

sa

[Picture is Predaking from the CGI animated series "Transformers Prime". He is a sentient robot in his current sorta humanoid/mecha form? He has large shoulders evocative of his wings in his dragon form, a sort of crowned head and has a purple theme to his colors, with yellow, red, pink and light purple accents. He looks angry.]

Why would they make robots this hot? I feel like a weirdo for finding him attractive (along with pretty much every Decepticon...)

I'm kind of disappointed by how little straight fanfiction there is for Transformers. I mean, yeah, I like slash, but I like het too and there doesn't seem to be hardly any. At this point I don't even mind if the females are Mary Sues or Original Characters.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-24 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
there probably would be more het if there were more female characters

OP

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I can't even find any with OCs. I miss the days when people would just throw their stories out for everyone to read, no matter how much of a mary sue their characters would seem.

I'm still pissed that we never got any real scenes with Ratchet and June Darby. He's the medic, she's a nurse.

You're not weird, OP. This is actually very common.

And I think there WOULD be more het if there were actually more than a couple female characters - but even then there would not be as much because lbr, the most vocal part of this fandom is fangirls shipping their handsome robot dudes with one another.

OP

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but the females they do have are awesome badasses, so it surprises me that they don't have as many fans, especially Arcee, who is pretty much the only Autobot I've ever liked. It seems like this in every fandom I get in, there's always a ton of slash, but never any het or femslash. It's disappointing.
diet_poison: (Arcee - badass)

Re: OP

[personal profile] diet_poison 2013-08-25 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I love Arcee!!

I don't really have any more to say...there are still a limited number of female characters. I only watched a little more than one season of TFP, but Arcee is one of only two, besides Jack's mom (a relatively minor character) and Miko, who I found annoying as fuck. That's not a lot to work with considering the deluge of male characters.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-24 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering all the slash that is anatomically based makes them hermaphrodites, I fail to see the functional difference between het and slash in that fandom. Also, I'm pretty sure fandom considers Starscream for all intents and purposes female.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
(not OP)
When it comes to the sexy bits, I don't see much distinction either. But there are characters who are presented as 'female' in the franchise and they get overlooked a lot--mostly it's because there are more 'male' characters, but still. Even if it's just gen, any attention would be appreciated, at least in my books.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It's interesting if you read their backstories, certainly Arcee in the comics. She started off as a mech, he. It implies most/all the femmes did, then a scientist who was very immoral and unethical manipulated them with experiments to introduce gender. Hence why the amount of femmes is tiny-because before that there were only the hermaphrodite mechs

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That's only true of IDW. Other canons say otherwise.
Like I said, I agree with you that there's not any difference between mechs and femmes, but a lot of fans don't see it that way, and it becomes apparent in fanwork. Hence why a franchise with robots has slash, femslash, and het. Logic has little to do with it, so it seems.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
If I had my way everyone would be with Arcee. She is the best badass.

Other than that, yeah, the uneven distribution of genders (should I call it that??) is the main reason. I don't exactly lament the fact that the fandom is yet to be overrun with OCs, so I can't empathize with you on that one. But it would be great if a few more of the ladies got a bigger role in fanfic, or even the shows, outside of being the token female.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's hot? Oooookay.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Don't feel bad OP, I once had an expected sex dream about Optimus Prime in truck form. I literally have no idea where it came from or why, because I hadn't see anything Transformers in ages, I was just ovulating.

And let me tell you, Optimus knew how to vibrate those leather just right in my dream! lol

Go read the kink meme? There's a few bot human ones you might like :)

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)

This series is mainly slash but addresses why there are so few femmes and how they came about. There's also several OC slash and het pairings. It's very good if you want a long plotty read, not kinky but plotty with pairngs through in. It's around 800 parts so far.
