Some shapes in their designs will probably change in the future but this is the vague idea.

For my Insecticons as the main villains thing here are my ideas for the cons and their roles. BM Megatron: Zizza Generals: Glowstrike, Antagony, Saberhorn, Sky-Shadow, and Ransack Diagnostic Drone who would be an actual Cybertronian here: Shutterbug

Ooo makes sense, with Zizza in our spotlight

Got any friendship head canons for Glowstrike?

Glowstrike demands a lot to consider someone a friend. They have to be an equal to her, otherwise they are just another underling. If you do happen to actually find yourself as her friend then Glowstrike holds you to very high standards. It can actually be quite demanding and a bit exhausting to be honest. But being her friend also comes with a lot of advantages. By being her friend, Glowstrike grants you a kind of trust that few others will ever get. She will display her trust in you by being completely honest and telling you about her personal doubts and problems. By entrusting you with her ‘weaknesses’ she’s essentially showing that she trusts that you won’t use it against her.

Once she sees someone as a genuine friend, Glowstrike is loyal. Trust is a two-way street and if you care for her then she cares for you. It will take some serious betrayal or frequent mistakes from your part for her to consider selling you out. Because there’s this mutual trust between you she expects her underlings to treat you with the same respect as they would her. Essentially, if you are her friend then you’re also her second in command and you shall be treated as such.

While she’s usually pretty cold and aloof, there are times where Glowstrike will show a warmer side, though only to you. There are these inside jokes you have, things only the two of you could understand. She’ll also show a caring side if you are injured or in a bad situation, protecting you from those that would use this situation against you.

I don't know if anyone remembers that post I made a while back about a sparkling leaving the goo pool unnoticed and Cyclonus being only a little pressed about it. [X]

TF Surge: Glowstrike might be the least evil of the warlords. Straxus is just massacring prople, Shockwave is doing horrific spark-splitting experiments in attempt to avert extinction. Not sure what Megaempress is doing though.

You're right, and Megaempress isn't probably doing anything all that nice too

#I vaguely feel like she's the type to expand her territory by force #maccadam #transformers #Straxus #Megaempress #Shockwave #glowstrike #who based on what i know of her is probably dealing with mercenaries and bounty hunters? that seems like her jam? #transformers: surge

OKAY NOW LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE A RID2015 THEORY-

Anyone remember Glowstrike? Because she has a firefly alt-mode

And when I remembered her once, I remembered one more thing

Female fireflies do not fly

Female fireflies do not have wings. But male fireflies do

So...

Or maybe I just shouldn't play theorist-

#rid2015 #glowstrike #trans #either Glowstrike is trans or the writers was to lazy to do research of fireflies

I think we know that none on these mfs trust each other enough for this. For fucks sake Steeljaw claimed that someone who’s been extremely loyal his entire employment has betrayed them all once and Glowstrike & Saberhorn believed him. But not everyone falls for his manipulation that easily

Sometimes it seems to me that the problem with female characters in the transformers franchise is that in the end, few people need them? Sometimes, here and there on social media, you can see the dissatisfaction of individual fans who do not like the current or past state of things with regard to female characters, but there is very little response from the audience. Fans have little support for existing female characters or new ones. Fans don't actively rebel when Hasbro once again makes a bad toy of a female character. And a personal observation in a familiar to me, but not the smallest part of the fandom - many female fans are more interested in male characters anyway. And of course there is a part of the fans who want to change the gender of previously existing male characters. And again, it seems to me that there is more love for the characters here, rather than a desire to add a female character.

What should we do about it? Probably nothing, the audience of this franchise is quite established for any changes, so we can only be happy when one of the authors really tries to make a high-quality female character, namely, to make a character and personality first of all.

P.S. A separate camp of fans are those who argue about how to explain the presence of females among transformers and whether it is necessary in principle. Why didn't anyone figure out that you can just explain it through the main origin? There was a Primus - he created Cybertronians in the image and likeness of the alien races he liked, which would explain all the strange appearance in general. If we take the origin of the Quintessons, then it's even easier, they created a product that was convenient for them / customers wanted / in the image of some race that they had previously enslaved.

Yeah it’s a weird circle jerk. Theres nothing wrong with having gals like Elita, Carly, Botanica, Glowstrike, and Hashtag, but writers and fans have a bad habit of needing female bots explained leading to Shockwave’s back handed comment about thinking female Autobots were extinct and IDW’s own confusing over corrections “We never had gender until Jhiaxus rebuilt Arcee for sick kicks, no wait wait, lady bots were a thing, they’re just maybe extinct on Cybertron for some reason, no no wait we still had lady bots all along, they’re just trans women on Cybertron while biological (technological?) women exist on colony planets!” Good grief pick a lane and stick with it.

Not helped is Hasbro’s own stance now that female robots exist only because of Solus Prime, which itself is a little insulting from a “diversity” standpoint because she’s the only lady among the Primes. One could make the argument Amalgamus is gender fluid because of his (their?) ability to Transform into anything, so in a roundabout way there’s two women among the Primes if one wanted to look at it that way, with Adaptus in a similar position (as the Guiding Hand in IDW are all men otherwise).

It’s the same problem I have with modern “diversity” initiatives because all they keep doing is drawing attention to people who are female, ethnic races, or LGBT, but never organically making them actual characters people can relate to and enjoy.

Sari might’ve had Indian roots, but they never drew attention to it instead focusing on making a fun little girl character who was best buds with the Autobots. Sort of the Gosalyn to their Darkwing. They did however draw attention to her (still unresolved) Cybertronian heritage but only because it was important to her backstory and character development. I guarantee if Sari were made today, she’d be a surface level checkbox brat akin to Ironheart who waxes about her people’s hardships and her own perceived problems despite not having any because of her father’s successful company. She forces herself on the Autobots to prove a point that didn’t need to be made, creating an old Stockholm Syndrome where the Autobots love her despite not offering any reason for them to. (It’s worth noting Ironheart’s comics are at least self aware she’s kind of a dipstick because her classmates and her black teacher she goaded into treating her “poorly” were visibly confused at her behavior and hesitantly indulged her whims.)

Cyberverse and EarthSpark are also horrible about this because they feel the need to gender bend most characters like Skywarp & Frenzy, rather than just use Slipstream (which CV did to be fair), create a brand NEW female jet, or in Frenzy’s case, just use Flip Sides.

Interestingly I’ve heard that Hasbro has limits on this, as the CV and ES teams wanted to make Thundercracker into a woman, but Hasbro said no, he’s a legacy player and has to remain a boy. (Or something to that extent.) Why Skywarp gets hit with the gender stick, I don’t know, but Skybound keeps the character male anyway, despite also being a legacy character. I imagine there’s more leeway with the Rainmakers because they were one off generics, and only recently-ish got names and expanded relevancy so it didn’t really matter if they were men or women. (That said, they appear to be still all male in IDW, with only Cyberverse and Earthspark making Nova Storm into a lady bot. Acid Storm was clearly meant to be male in CV, but an animation error and Catt speaking up led to the character being gender fluid unintentionally… who then died horribly. Organic representation, my actuator…) It’s nevertheless created an odd expectation perhaps, as the Seeker trio fluctuates in cartoons now, leading to the idea it’s now two ladies & a dude, with Nova Storm a permanent member in this idea. I don’t mind this in principle since Screamer, Cracker & Warpster were never really a cohesive trio anyway. Starscream was the star, the other two were just there and forgotten in most media. That Starscream/Slipstream, Thundercracker/Skywarp, & Nova Storm came about in modern stories as a group because of modern “diversity” soap boxing and muddled storytelling doesn’t help though.

There’s no real need to explain lady bots, they’re just there and if handled correctly you get awesome ones like BlackArachnia or memorable ones like Strika. Handle them poorly and you get Eren Jaeger Windblade, RiD Ultra Magnus wannabe Pyra Magna, and Primus forbid IDW Slide.

Primus and/or the Quintessons including ladies just because is acceptable because there’s no need to dwell on it, anymore than they decided to make LGBT bots. Live and let live, don’t dwell on it is my feeling. Just have said Transformers be cool and memorable and they happen to be this or that, I don’t know why that’s such a lost art anymore.
