To actually no surprise to anyone ... They Announced the Official Fan Built Transformers OC is Female, actually a set of combining Female transformers that form "Victorion"http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generations-classics-44/fan-built-combiner-name-and-gender-revealed-182544/Sign.. it's sort of lemon juice in my cuts... not only do TF fans get official OCs, they turn out to be female. Does that mean official MLP OCs...would end up being male? if Hasbro ever deigned to offer it.

Does that mean official MLP OCs...would end up being male? if Hasbro ever deigned to offer it.To be fair, though, MLP currently has MUCH more male representation than Transformers has female representation. Maybe not a lot of G4 brushables are boys, but a significant percentage of cartoon-ponies are boys, plus a fair amount of blind bags. Whereas in the IDW comics they have barely ended their silly "Transformers are all genderless even though they sound and look like dudes, but if they WERE girls, it would be because they were TORTURED into being one and also the torture would make other TFs refer to her as 'she' somehow???"Transformers needed this more is what I'm saying.
Edit: About Pip, there's nothing inappropriate about her design, but the fanfic she stars in is a hardcore futurustic dystopia and there's a lot of death and mature themes in it. As I said, I actually liked the fanfic (don't think I'll ever read it again though--too long) but it just wouldn't be appropriate to basically "advertise" a M rated fanfic by choosing her as an OC.(Also her colorscheme is ugly, just sayin'.)
