Yoke san helped design G1 Optimus Prime, Perceptor, Scourge and others, He shepherded the Transformers partnership between Takara/Tomy and Hasbro since 1983.

Does it really count if she doesn’t have a spine or organs?
That’s not a boobs and butt pose since she’s only showing one “boob” (or whatever you call that on a robot, I don’t know why there are genders for robots anyway) but I’m starting to think I need a “sexualized Transformers” tag because this is becoming a thing. (This seems like a fairly inefficient design for a robot. Why would she have built in spike heels?)
argh don’t get me started on female Transformer high heels

you guyyyssss
hot shot’s a city-speaker
and drawn by sarah stone

but you guyyssssssss
wait wait, in mtmte 35 hotshot is on cybertron (with a different character design). is this a continuity error or did the colonies return early because of some functionist rubbish? and yeah okay that’s kind of barely relevant to anything but, titan colonies
anyway I love every one of these character designs hot damn

transformers 1: they’re here
transformers 2: they were here before
transformers 3: they were here BEFORE before
transformers 4: they were here before BEFORE before
excuse me but I think you’ll find transformers 3 is “they were here after the time before but before the time they were here the first time.”
Transformers with accents are a dime a dozen. Aside from any number of regional American accents, and plenty of British ‘bots, there are French Transformers, Australian Transformers, Scottish, Russian, and German Transformers, and more! But on St. Patrick’s Day, we lament that there’s never been an IRISH Transformer!
So the best we can offer you today is a collection of green Transformers from across the continuities…. annnnd… ummm… a picture of, uh… Nick Roche, why not.
There are, however, lots of drunk Transformers.

The Rise of the Robots: The History of the Transformers
This is an infographic on Transformers. Robots had never been the same after Transformers was introduced in the early 80s. The Transformers toy line had its beginnings in 1983 when Hasbro representatives attended the Tokyo Toy Fare to find something promising that could be imported to the North American market.

Blackarachnia’s not the first female Transformers toy. She’s not even the first in America! The first American female Transformers toy was BotCon 1995’s Nightracer and the first ever anywhere was Japan’s Minerva. (Freezon was released earlier, but her gender wasn’t decided upon until decades later.) Blackarachnia is the first American mass-retail female Transformer, but that’s kind of a lot of qualifiers.
Also some of those silhouettes chosen for use in places seem kind of weird. I’m pretty sure those are Classics Mini-Cons (2006) they use to represent Armada (2002). ROTF Devastator and Fall of Cybertron Slug stand in for their 1985 versions. And I don’t want to try to figure out what that Robots in Disguise silhouette is.
