I mean Tracks is a flying car normally which leads me to.

Interesting TFA Tracks idea to note down. Since Breakdown is flight capable, maybe Knockout was an Autobot who ran off with Breakdown and still a car. They end up with Tracks, who is a car with wings.

The Decepticon babysitters have never known more fear than the day they were watching him thinking it wouldn't be a big deal with tiny car getting zoomies then they hear shhhnk and turn to find wings just suddenly there and now he's flying away.

The goddamn noise i made upon seeing this because oH YEAH YEAH HE WAS!

Is Tracks in tfa actually wait??

He is indeed in tfa

And, while he "might" not fly in tfa, his wings/doorwings are conspicuously not visible in his altmode... hmm...

Plus he's an extra meaning we can do whatever the fuck we want

Oh and since he "shares a body type with Road Rage" we can say she can do this too.

Ooooo yes yes yes. Kobd menace child Tracks. That had to be such a surprise, and i can fully imagine how that went down.

OK I’m gonna talk for a long time about a character almost nobody but me is interested in, but I love her so please put up with me for a minute here lol

alright, here we go:

I feel like Road Rage is absolutely among the least-utilised G1 characters ever, which sucks because I love her so much!!!

Here’s a summary of her bio from TF Wiki:

Road Rage is the bodyguard/advisor of Ambassador Crosscut.

She is well-versed in alien cultures and generally cheerful, making her a very good diplomat.

However, a chronic short-out in her vehicle mode causes her to live up to her name; in car mode, she is a snarling, swerving speed machine with little regard—if not utter contempt—for anyone else on the road with her.

Which reminds me a lot of how they handled Grimlock as he’s depicted in Cyberverse, where he’s very polite and highly intelligent in root mode, but in alt-mode he’s out there fucking shit up, lmao.

And of course, she’s visually interesting because out of all the G1 femme bots, Road Rage is a big departure from the “typical” femme bot frame type, with a far more heavy-duty feel to her compared to Chromia, Moonracer, Arcee, etc. -- Her original G1 toy was just a re-deco of Tracks.

I can’t help but wonder how much her aesthetics played a role in her never really getting that much traction in Western/English language media... Sigh.

Although Road Rage does make an appearance in IDW 2!

And she does also appear in TFA as well:

However, in both IDW 2 and TFA, her frame type/model seems to have been adjusted quite a bit, and okay fine, but I feel like the heavy weight and serious look of the original G1 design gets a little lost in the redesigns and she ends up losing a lot of personality as a result, visually speaking.

Don’t get me wrong, I totally get that adjustments for art style / modernisation to match other character models etc. is a thing that needs to happen as part of natural art evolution and so on!

No problem with that; There’s a lot of consideration that goes into any character design process, and of course, it’s Transformers so toy models need to be taken into consideration as well, lol.

But I look at the original G1 Tracks re-deco design of Road Rage, and I think that IDK, making her less brick-like doesn’t really feel quite right to me, personally. (Of course, that’s just my opinion, and the redesigns aren’t inherently bad at all!)

In TFA they also made her a bounty hunter for-justice type character, but personally, I love her original bio. Kick ass diplomatic advisor. That’s so fucking strong!!!!

It just feels so much more unique and interesting to me, although I get that with TFA they were already working with a fairly large cast of characters with lots going on etc. and you gotta do what you gotta do to make things work for the story that you are trying to tell (or the story you are already in the middle of telling, which is often the case, lmao).

I just really like the idea of this very cordial diplomat’s advisor being a fucking HUGE MASSIVE POWERHOUSE LADY and looking threatening as shit, but actually she’s very chill and is there to help!

(Until she almost runs you off the road later but hey that’s not 100% her fault, she feels bad about it, she’ll help you get to the hotel so you can get ready for the speaker’s hall event later. No worries. lmao)

But still, IDK, it would be nice to see some more non-”typical” femme bots on a more regular basis.

I love the hell out of Termagax in IDW 2, Clobber in Cyberverse, etc. and tbh please give me more femme bots who are wide as hell.

Just, give me some absolutely huge femme bots.

(If we ever see Termagax animated in anything, I will lose my shit entirely, please give us more Termagax, I love her.)

I mean, come on, the G1 Road Rage design has that prominent hood torso/chest design that evokes TFA Ratchet’s “beer belly”-- It’s right there!!! Visually, it’s doable!!!

I feel like TFA Road Rage could have still had a fair enough redesign to match the style of the series but retained a larger / heavier set frame???

(Of course, this may not have been done for whatever reasons, but we have so few fat or even just generally big lady bots, and I feel like the G1 design for Road Rage could absolutely be interpreted in subsequent art styles / toy designs as being a wider / heavier frame type???)

We don’t see a lot of huge, heavy femme bots. The ones we do see are typically neutrals or Decepticons. We could use a few more fat lady Autobots, I’m just saying! But also just more large, strong, boxy, fat, etc. femme bots in general.

Again, not dunking on the IDW 2 / TFA designs, both art styles generally kick ass, but I love the G1 design for her so much.

Look at her. She’s so fucking powerful. I feel like the subsequent redesigns don’t really capture that sense of “absolute fucking rectangle of a femme bot”, but of course they also adjusted her character bio a bit for the redesigns too, so IDK.

In TFA, we already have some big bots like Bulkhead and of course, Ratchet’s got a pretty prominent robo-gut. We know it can be done!!

And in IDW 2, we do have a bit more frame type diversity, which is always welcome. <3

It just would have been interesting to see TFA Road Rage’s original hood torso/chest worked into a similar design to Ratchet’s, with a wider set frame, broader limbs, and thicker/bigger door wings to match-- Since her G1 model could already be interpreted as being pretty big, and it might have been a fun little throwback design / nod to the original for those who were already familiar with this character.

I mean, her original frame type was based on Tracks, and look at how they redesigned Tracks for TFA. Not a super big guy or anything lol, but it’s clear they played around with this frame type redesign concept in at least a couple ways.

So IDK!!!! I just love the original G1 Road Rage, and while I’m not dunking on the later redesigns of the character, I feel like it would be really cool to see a big lady bot in an interesting role like diplomatic advisor.

TL;DR: PLEASE GIVE ME THE FAT GOD TIER DIPLOMATIC ADVISOR VERSION OF ROAD RAGE, SHE IS LARGE AND SMART AND I LOVE HER.

I feel like only Strika in TFA is allowed to buck the weird 'tiny with big optics and curves' design all different Transformers media makes femal 'bots, and it's only 'cause she's "eeevil". (Honestly even the human women in all the franchises are like that, cartoon or liveaction AAA it's frustrating). I love your idea of them being bigger and stronger as a rule, if you're going to give robots genders than ether make them as diverse visually/physically as the 'guy ' robots are, or make them bigger because we know in most TF canon bigger is stronger, and as you said they need that to carry and defend sparklings (and probably got even bigger with specific defense mechanisms after the war started).

yeah, I was kind of thinking of Strika when writing out my thoughts (also idw Road Rage and Pyra Magna my beloved) I just feel like if you insist on having female cybertronians, they shouldn’t be adhering to human gender dimorphism. like, why the fuck would they. They should be, first of all, as diverse in body types as the male characters, none of that thin waists big thighs bullshit we see, and second of all, if you intend to have them bearing newsparks, wouldn’t it just make more sense for them to be even bigger, thicker, denser than the guy transformers?

like i don’t believe cybertronians have gender as we know it, but if you wanna have lady transformers and guy transformers isn’t it more fun to actually play with it, rather than just fucking. give Arcee a thin little waist again.

#in my head elita is the same build as megatron. that is what elita looks like to me and all the actual designs are WRONG #no one knows elita like i know elita #also i think optimus has a type #in the rare case that i play around with cybertronian genders #i do it in a way where like. everything got kind of lost in translation. like they know the words man and woman #and they use them for the convenience of interacting with their human friends #but in fact they understand the concepts in a much different way #obviously pronouns don’t equal gender for them. a cybertronian female might as well go by he/him and vice versa #i just want it all ot be very confusing for everyone

How about the tfa gang with a human friend with severe road rage. Like their bot friend is giving them a lift home and a very rude driver shouts harsh words and before the jerk can drive fully ahead of them the human friend grabs the wheel before the bots realize what is happening and rams them from behind causing the guy to swerve off road and total his car(he’s alive don’t worry) ;)

-Optimus is HORRIFIED. He's clutching his metaphorical pearls. He's going to pull over, transform, help the poor guy that swerved off the road, apologize profusely while checking him over for injuries and then, and only when he's sure the dude in unhurt, he will talk to you. Well, talking insinuates there's a conversation. Optimus is chewing you out, telling you how that behavior right then was unacceptable and that you really needs some help getting over that road rage because that could have ended really badly!

-Ratchet straight up dumps you on the side of the road and drives the guy to the nearest hospital, even if he appears unhurt. Next time he sees you, Ratchet is going to straight up yell at you. Are you insane!? You could have killed that man! Refuses to speak with you for a week. He's so disappointed in you and refuses to give you a ride for a long, long time. Makes you go to anger management class.

-Bumblebee screeches to a halt, so sudden and quick that you get whiplash. "What was THAT!?" He transforms and helps the guy, asking if he's ok and only once he's sure that he's unharmed will he transform back into alt mode and continue driving back home. The rest of the car ride is quiet, which is very unusual for Bumblebee. He refuses to talk to you until you get back to base and then he's going off on you. Never, EVER do that again, no matter how rude the other guy is! You're sentenced to sitting in the back seat from now on.

-Bulkhead stops and just stands parked on the side of the road for a good ten seconds, shocked and horrified by what just happened. Then, when the shock has died down, he transforms and does whatever he can to help the guy. Then he's gonna talk to you. He's really disappointed but most of all he's sad that you did something like that. You are his friends and he trusts you but what you just did was not ok. Will try to help you overcome your road rage.

-Prowl skids to a halt (Akira-style) and you fall unto the ground when he transforms into root mode. He points at you, says that you will talk later but right now he's going to help the poor man. After that he's going to have a long, long talk with you about anger and not letting it get the better of you. Tells you that from now on he's going to teach you different meditation techniques to deal with your rage and sends you various links to breathing exercises you can try out.

As much as I enjoy Arcee, her character has been changed drastically overtime. I do love her, my trans lesbian badass fighting Queen but the the one I mostly enjoyed was IDW2, Cyberverse, and G1. Prime was okay, I didn’t dislike her but didn’t feel the same spark I felt with the ones above.

I do love Windblade, Nautica, Greenlight, Road Rage, Velocity, Firestar, Lightbright, and Slipstream. Chromia too and Elita One, so I’m glad Elita has a fun badass character in Earthspark.

Thunderblast has some great potential if given the right writer, she deserves the Idw2 Trickdiamond treatment.

TFA Arcee could have been replaced by a sexy lamppost and it would have made no difference. The fact that she's trans in IDW1 is cool... Except for the Furman BS.

There are actually quite a few female Transformers, but they're either super obscure because they're in a story that most of the fandom can't access (if you can't understand Japanese, you're SOL because, from what I can't tell, it's not translated very often), only have short appearances with maybe the short blurb in a handbook, or only exist as toys.

I would also love to see more of the Torchbearers/Rust Renegades. I haven't read much of them in IDW1, but I think Pyra Magna in IDW2 was super compelling (also, thank you, Ruckley, for not trying to give a half-baked redemption arc).

Show I’m Watching: hey here’s a new character for you

Me: okay

SIW: they’re only going to exist in like 2-3 episodes if they’re lucky, and may not even have a presence in the show at all

Me: okay

SIW: even if other minor characters get expanded on later they never will

Me: okay

SIW, shaking me by the shoulders: they have no significance to the plot and investing any amount of interest in them is futile because even the fandom will ignore them

Me: okay

several days later

Me, having expanded on that character significantly and given them a complicated backstory and everything: fuck

#this keeps happening #why do i do this to me #for anyone wondering and searching the tags #my record thus far is:#lord scrapperton #tfa road rage #miss pastel #koala princess #and assuredly more to come #fandom #ok ko #ok ko let's be heroes #tfa #transformers animated #srmthfg #super robot monkey team hyperforce go #shitpost #shitpost i guess

You know the more I sit here and think of it, tfa Road Rage looks kinda like an IDW or G1 ProwlOp kid to me. Just a little bit.

#maccadam #transformers #tfa road rage #idw optimus prime #idw prowl #because I'm thinking about this now #her design is pretty #there are some pretty as fuck backround characters in tfa #... okay I'm starting to click through tfwiki and my ''wait those guys aren't ocs'' senses are tingling again

The start of another TFA comic I'm dubbing SkyGliding as it's centered more on Powerglide and Skyfire's relationship and how they met + some friends! This follows my last comic, Bots with Altitude. Here Skyfire admits to Powerglide he wishes to get out of the lab he's been retreating to and go out and meet some more people! But he's never really been the extra social type and he's been away from Cybertron for millions of years, lots has changed since the war and while under Autobot rule. Being an Ex-Decepticon he feels a little out of place and somewhat nervous around the often much smaller Autobots. His more extroverted husband assures him he'll get along with the other bots just fine.
