Oh, for the love of....why does everyone continue to reply to Tramp? Can't we just stop feeding him, please?

This. I've already yelled at him on another forum, I'm not eager to do so again.

Yes, well...yelling at him really has the opposite effect on such people. They really do thrive on it. Not to mention the fact that...well, yelling really is rather childish, n'est-ce pas? Doesn't help.

But it did make me feel better. ;3

 

Really, his most irritating argument is that sex=gender, and that gender=interest in having sex. Apparently, transsexuals and asexuals don't exist in his universe, and alien species aren't allowed to have non-human versions of the concept of gender... of course, the anthropocentrism and ethnocentrism are pretty annoying, too. (Apparently, the only genders anyone can be ever are "boy" and "girl". No, really. It's totally unheard of to be anything else.)

This from the guy with a kitty cat holding a cloths hanger telling you to bend over for his signature. :tflaugh

I rather like the way they explained the idea of Arcee being female in her Spotlight.

Why, color me surprised. Using big words and everything. You actually have a brain beyond the facade of annoying cutesy girl. I might actually warm up to that.

I've always interpreted it as their programming. Arcee's programmed to be a female, so she's a female. Hot Rod's programmed to be a male, so he's a male. As machines with AI they try to imitate organic life. Romantic interest is part of that imitation. In the end it's all a facade though because as machines they can't, well, you know....:P

 

So hey, if a TFer is programmed to be transgendered, he/she's transgandered, at least as much as a robot can be. For all we know one of Animated Blitzwing's personalities may be female (the hothead one could be programmed after an East German female Olympian :D)

As far as the plethora of "why female robots exist" theories, the IDW Spotlight one is the most thought out.

Still, I tend to disregard anything other then my "programming" theory. It fits my personal canon (and it's the least weird).

Have we thrown the "they're male and female so they would not seem so alien to 10 year old boys" argument out the window?
