Shout out to all the ladies
Can we take a moment to appreciate all the female transformers in the Animated universe?
Of course we have; Sari, one of the best kid characters the series has ever given us, Blackarachnia/Elita-1, a tragic character with her own agenda, Arcee who plays a major role in Project Omega, and Slipstream, Starscream’s mysterious female clone.
But we also have characters like:
Strika: Megatron’s chosen “General of Destruction”, Leader of Team Chaar, and Lugnut’s consort (who knew Lugnut was part royalty? XD). She lives for war, and with her perfect mixture of immense strength and brilliant military tactical mind, Strika is indeed a dangerous foe.
Red Alert: Though top of her class in Protihex Medical Mechnical, Red Alert’s bedside manners leaves something to be desired. She did develop a cure for Gold Plastic Syndrome, and lost her servo to a Decepticon booby trap, replacing it with a Transfer Interlink. These days, she serves as field medic for Rodimus Prime’s team (and she was originally supposed to be part of the main cast, until the writers replaced her with Ratchet.).
And Flashpoint: A search-and-rescue worker, who works under Fixit in the Rescue Patrol, Flashpoint doesn’t hesitate to put her own spark in danger if it means helping others. She is also an instructor, teaching medics like Minerva.
Chromia: A forensic accountant who is harder than nails and will chew out anyone who crosses her. She also likes collecting Furnacian pottery and having a drink at Maccadam’s.
Minerva: Having been trained as a medic by Fixit, Minerva was then dispatched to Earth so she could gain essential field experience under Ratchet’s tutelage. Only to steer of course and crash land in Canada, where she scanned a Japanese car as her chosen vehicle mode.
Drag Strip: A Decepticon who wields two laser swords, she is part of Team Stunticons, tasked with breaking Megatron out of prison (and grudgingly playing the role of damsel in distress in their fake stunt show.).
And Nightbeat: A young and inexperience detective with some raw talent and incredible insight.
Override Prime: Marking the first official female Prime to exist within the series, Override Prime, along with 11 other autobots, played key roles in Project Omega. During the Great War, Override Prime was chosen to pilot, Kappa Supreme, and presumably went offline after Blitzwing destroyed her ship, while she was protecting a supply convoy. Since Arcee never got the chance to transfer her activation codes over to Omega Supreme, this makes Override Prime the only female out of the 12 pilots.
Kappa Supreme: Codename designation, Chromia X, Kappa Supreme was the eleventh, and only female Omega Sentinel. She was bonded to Override Prime and eventually destroyed by Blitzwing, while trying to escort a supply convoy. She provided them with enough time to escape, though whether or not Override Prime went offline with her is unknown.
Rosanna/Flip Sides: Is an popular autobot singer who likes to collect various cybernetic animals. Though, she may or may not be the Decepticon Spy, Flip Sides that Blurr was trying to track down (assuming of course that Rosanna is even aware that she might be a spy…).
Lickty-Split: A waitress at Maccadam’s Old Oil House, who wants to quit her job and win a Golden Disk in the Tour de Orgenon.
And Lightbright: A search and rescue bot who can transform into a dual-purpose hovercraft/submersible. Her powerful lights and size allow her to scour small and tight places that other crafts can’t get to.
Botanica: A member of the Autobot High Council and a skilled botanist who cleared a Morphobot infestation on Daffodil II, Botanica has quite the social standing, but many have questioned her decision to be in a relationship with Rattletrap, a dirt rat who deals in illegal services.
Flareup: A bot with a southern accent, a fondness for explosives, and kicking decepticon skidplate. Flareup originally trained in search-and-rescue, back in boot camp, but now works in demolition; tearing through Decepticons, and even blowing up a communication tower. She’s currently in a relationship with Warpath.
Glyph: A researcher who specializes in archaeometry, but is a bit of a wallflower, as she’s normally seen far too engrossed in her data files than making friends. She is however close friends with Tap-Out, who in turn is very protective of her (especially when around her ex-boyfriend).
Road Rage: An Autobot Bounty hunter who isn’t in it for the credits, but solely to bring criminals to justice. To help her in her crusade are her Trilenial sensors, which allow her to detect when her quarry is armed. She may also be acquainted with Excellion and Glyph.
Clipper and Antagony: An Autobot and Decpeticon, respectively, who like drinking at Maccadam’s and have their faces on the menu.
Sureshock: A mini-con who works as a guard inside the Trypticon Prison, making sure Decepticon prisoners, like Megatron, don’t escape.
Wingthing: One of Soundwave’s many prototypes. She screams. A lot.
And last but not least, the transformers who were officially named in-universe, but never had any artwork of them.
Quickslinger: Though Quickslinger may be slow at most thing, she’s fast on the draw. She attended boot camp with Hot Rod (Rodimus Prime), Blaster and Skram, and trained by their drill Sargent, Kup Minor.
Windy: The number one singer on Cybertron (but don’t tell Rosanna that).
Beta: One of the listed Decepticon prisoners currently held in the Trypticon Prison.
