And in Japan, Airazor was a dude.

...who still got friendly with Tigatron. ;) Some people have argued that the dialogue made it sound more like fraternal bonding/love... but I see it as more than that. Unless you believe that Frodo and Sam were "just friends." :D :P

My contribution: Optimus Prime was once played by a woman - by my cousin Michelle, in fact.

 

She was one of the two winners of the "Voice Acting Contest" at OTFCC 2004, and was horrified to discover that the prize was a part in that night's script reading. I had to literally drag her to the event! One of her two parts was Universe Spychanger Optimus Prime, the little yellow firetruck Spychanger. Because of that, I've always considered that version of Prime to be female.

OF course, that doesn't tell the story leading up to her participation . . . :tfgrin

That's actually pretty awesome! Congrats to your cousin, however belated they may be.
