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.

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.

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) 2013-08-25 01:03 am (UTC)(link)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 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)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)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 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.
