[RID,UT] Why did they turn Nitro Convoy into a girl?
Why did they turn Nitro Convoy into a girl?
I have been happy if they would have just called him "Nitro Prime", but Override? "She" looks about as feminine as a brick wall. I... don't understand why they choose to turn him female. When I first saw the show (before I knew she was originally a guy) I thought something was rather fishy about "her". Now I know... She is a he.

S/he may be a TRANSformer. Few more upgrades and it will be a she.

Because you're a wanker?
Maybe you're finding out just how annoying it can be now, eh?
And....

Perhaps that's why she doesn't look like a "Barbiebot".
It took a long time for Override to claim the title of Leader of the Speed Planet. When the Cybertronian explorers first landed on what would become Speed Planet, races were held to see who would be leader. Override pretended to be a BOY to enter the race and the entire planet was stunned when she won the race and revealed that she was a tough-as-nails female racecar!

Yeh, so seriously I collect Gobots. Nonce.
Maybe if you didn't try to insult me, and then bitch about me in other topics I wouldn't think you were a complete arsecandle.
And how is "it" hypocritical? Explain, you slack-jawed cretin.

Hmmmmm, well I guess that makes the transition seem less akward.

"It" is hyposcritical because one minute I have someone getting angry at the thought of a topic about TRANSFORMERS (because by god transformers should be nothing but complete seriousness) "degenerating" into jokes and humor. Then, some uptight prick comes along and makes a big fuss of it, bitching about it like cracking lame jokes will cause the end of all things. Then I make a topic, and it gets nothing but jokes.
Ok, so maybe it isn't really that hypocritical. What is hypocritical is when you complain that I insulted you (when I actually never did, you were the first to insult anyone by calling me a "wanker") and then you can reply with nothing but insults.
I could care less if you reply to this post calling me a "wanker" or a "****" or a "cretin" or any other sad insult, but I will not reply to you. I refuse to dignify your putrid existence any longer.

They did WHAT? CN demanded that? WTF were they thinking? They're ROBOTS for chrissakes!

The joke posts here weren't the same, tired old
"MEGaTR0n TR1GGer = PEniS!!! LOL" jokes that about seven people had already posted (slightly more clever) versions of in that thread.

Eh?
My entire point, that. I wouldn't even have replied to this if it wasn't for the guy making random digs at me.
A better example of hypocrisy would probably be bitching about something someone had said in a totally unrelated thread, and then accusing that person of taking things to seriously.
"I refuse to acknowledge your putrid existance... because I'm out of my depth and there's no denying I've acted like a dumbass"
I only have one question-
Why do all the femmbots seem to have breasts? Aside from the butchy Override, they all have chestplates that resemble knockers. Remember the first transmetal 2 Blackarachnia was pulled from a lot of stores because of this. And when you watch the episode in G1 (I forget the title) where they go back to Cybertron and help Moonracer and Alita-1 thay also have implications of a chest.

If you want "peace" the only thing you must do is...DIE
