If you could bring any of the following iconic IDW couples (Tailgate and Cyclonus, Chromedome and Rewind, Lug and Anode, Arcee and Aileron) into Cyberverse, which pairing would it be and why? Also, I heard of the new Cyberverse movies and I FLIPPED out. So excited and happy to hear about my comfort show again.
Anode and Lug because they’re great characters, and they’d be great for queer representation.
I think they also have the added bonus of their queerness being baked into their characterization already, since they were conceived and introduced as trans gender lesbians. So, because that was always a part of their characters, there’d be less chances for people to object to them. Versus what sometimes happens when you take other existing characters and gender-bend them or add queerness. (I mean, I’m all for that to diversify characters, but some people don’t like it, and I think you all know what I’m talking about.) Even if the powers-that-be didn’t want to get overt with Anode and Lug’s romance (sometimes kids shows just don’t do romance, period), their queerness is such a part of them, I think it’d come through regardless. Other than that, my favorite MTMTE ship is Cyclonus and Tailgate.
So would Lug be the comms pack still or would she have some kind of exploration vehicle alt? I loved Anode’s biplane mode because it gave her a bit of an “Adventure is out there!” Pulp Heroine vibe
