CARCASS: One of the things I liked a lot about the Marvel series, it focused a lot on the fact that these characters were, though living, they were actually ROBOTS and there were reasons for their existence and how they came about. This is the ONE part of the Transformers continuity where they don't have (not without a good explanation) "female" Transformers. What are your thoughts on female Transformers and do you think there's room to explore that dichotomy in the Transformers mythology?
BOB: Well, I remember bringing up that question early on with Hasbro, "are any of these female?" And then I think Hasbro's attitude was, 'this is a boy toy. We don't wanna have, you know, girl robots.' So, I said, "OK, just want to clarify that." Then of course, I think it was in 1986 they came out with the movie, and they had the token female character. Don't ask me to explain it. (laughs) I don't understand it. I think what I came up with was Creation Matrix, however that worked out explaining their existence, their 'livingness' was asexual. There was no female, there was no male, there was no need for them having different sexes. So, I just left it at that and what other people have done beyond that, I don't know. I was just… you know, like I said, I early on brought this question up and I was given a certain direction by the Hasbro executives I was dealing with and I went with it. It's their toy, so if that's what they want, that's fine with me. Now, if somebody wants to change their mind and says, 'oh yeah, there should be a whole other bunch of female Transformers,' then again, it's not my toy, they can do that.
from this interview here (this is a clickable link)
//She doesn't belong to any factions and is currently on a journey through the universe in her small ship, accompanied by her Best friend Andy, to explore the world and find herself after a war that lasted for millions of years.//
• The headphones she wears are a gift from her mother, and that's why she considers them a very precious thing, and always makes sure to take care of them and protect them as a priority.
• Andy:
An intelligent being with the mind of a 12–16 yo, capable of understanding four languages, including cybernetic, yet they don't need to speak at all to understand each other. He isn't just a pet; he's her closest companion, her sparkmate, and her partner in everything.
• Her backstory:
She was born on Cybertron with the ability to create metal. She spent millions of years enslaved deep beneath the planet’s surface, used as nothing more than a living tool.
After being rescued by Senator Shockwave and trained as a medic under Ratchet.
she finally began to discover herself… only for the war to take everything away again.
She fled Cybertron and was adopted by an organic species who became the first people she truly called family.
Until the Cybertronian war followed her there too.
Driven by grief and anger, she became a fighter protecting organic lives, but a life of war and loss trapped her in a cycle of rage and despair. Finally, after the war ended, she found herself lost. Until she found someone who understood and comforted her, which encouraged her to leave everything behind, start over, find herself, and find peace.
• Her ability:
Her ability allows her to create and shape metal from her own body. On Cybertron, this made her nothing more than a living tool. She was forced to spend millions of years in mines, producing materials and structures, and supports pillars without rest.
Later, under Ratchet's guidance, she learned to use her ability for medical work, creating surgical tools, repairing injured Cybertronians, and stabilizing damaged frames.
But after losing her home and family in the war, she turned that ability into a weapon. Now, she uses it to reshape her body, craft blades and armor, and adapt herself for combat in seconds. The more turbulent her emotions become, the more distorted and violent her transformations grow.
Because of this ability, she suffers heavily with her own identity and body image. No matter how hard she tries to transform herself to appear softer or more natural, she can never escape the cold, metallic body she was born with.

THE PLAN... I'd like to do a run of "best cover" however it would be most efficient to do a speed poll run time of 24 hours for that due to quantity of issues of any given run (marvel uk has 332 as an example) and this blog is barely breathing lol so I'll start with other stuff maybe that has a week run time
