"Canonically body dysmorphic in IDW comics, and is described to be in a “cold constructed” body, which explicitly does not match with her true self. Has a “true self” form that is a conceptual body that she should’ve been born with had she been born in the correct body. Is noted to use feminine language to refer to herself in Japanese iterations of the character, notably BWII which has her talk in speech associated with trans women (オネエ言葉). Has been dubbed as female in other language dubs. Parallels with multiple female characters such as Windblade and Arcee. Has a psychological female clone that is meant to represent a part of her personality, to which it is never actually explained what that aspect is. She is the Transformers’ most tragic straight woman." - Anonymous
As a kid, you love Transformers for the big robots shooting at eachother and transforming into sport cars;
As an adult, you love Transformers because of the tragedy of the fallen civilazation of scholars and explorers now having been forced to fight in an endless war just to survive while being stranded on an alien planet but finding friendship and love with the natives and discovering how much they have in common thus creating hope for the rebuilding of their home.
