Transformers Autobot Tailgate Action Figure

Product Information

The real-world explanation for the overall scarcity of anything specific between two of the same gender is that Transformers above all exists to sell toys to children and so has to play in on the wishes and expectations of the assumed general audience. Even if attitude is improving, heterosexuality is still the default assumption and least controversial option in all-ages fiction. Outside of an accident in translation [2] and a few sneaked-in jokes for older viewers, the default is still for writers to haul up Arcee or insert a new female (Transformer) to fill the romance niche than play up that sort of interaction in same gender context.

On October 10, 2010, The Hub (formerly Discovery Kids, later Discovery Family on October 13, 2014) started airing the original episodes of the Transformers G1 series on the network (alongside Beast Wars: Transformers and Beast Machines: Transformers). It was thanks to the researchers that they were able to discover the existence of special Mechs called Draers, saving their civilization from extinction and giving rise to a new era. However, the IDW comics have a traditionally older audience. This led to the glass ceiling being shattered when More than Meets the Eye depicted Chromedome and Rewind in a millennia-long relationship, in which they were named as each other's "significant other"... and this relationship was not the first either have had, and Chromedome may or may not have been dating Prowl before that. [3] The relationship is perhaps not out-and-out romance as humans would think or feel it, but author James Roberts has commented that this is because he imagines Transformers don't have relationships in exactly the same way humans do; he leaves no doubt that "Chromedome and Rewind each regard the other as the most important person in their life." [4] That Rewind out-and-out says "I love you" in a message to Chromedome only hammers it home. Cyclonus and Tailgate have also shared a close bond over the years that gradually evolved into a romantic relationship. Hasbro has been totally cool with IDW doing this. [5] This measure was later followed up by the introduction of the first same-gender female married couple in Transformers history in the form of Anode and Lug, An Axe to Break the Ice after the first depicted romantic female pair of Greenlight and Lancer, The Will of the Few as well as the first example of attraction between members of different genders in IDW in the same issue where the gals Proxima and Acceleron's relationship was mentioned by Nautica. The Sensuous Frame The late bigot Sentinel Prime expressed vague misgivings about how modern-day Conjunx Endurae on Cybertron would "swap fuel in public" as one of several reasons for his violent attempt to reinstall his brutal regime. Ten to Midnight More recently, IDW followed up with the first genuinely romantic, on-the-mouth, unobfuscated, fully-on-screen/panel kiss between Transformers in recorded history, and by extension, the first same-gender kiss between Arcee and Aileron. The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable Arcee was then rescued by Cliffjumper and Bumblebee, but she would never stop grieving for his death. When being saved, Arcee said: "I Couldn't Save Him, I Couldn't Save My Partner." While the ability to at least exchange thoughts can explain the interest some Transformers have for beings not belonging to their own kind, that pretty much doesn't go for the interest some of them have for non-living objects. Unless the fact they often treat them as if they are alive has something to do with it. This is possibly not as odd as it seems: Transformers are, after all, part object themselves, some even having been upgraded from a mere piece of machinery. In that sense, it is perhaps harder to understand why it doesn't happen more often.The season also introduced several new characters from the upcoming 1985 product line in advance of their toys' release including Skyfire, the Dinobots, the Insecticons and the first "combiner" team, the Constructicons, who are able to merge into a giant robot, Devastator, whose introduction was set alongside a climactic one-on-one duel between Optimus Prime and Megatron that served as a part of the season finale. [15] Season 2 [ edit ] After meeting his end once again at the mercy of Galvatrons fusion canon, Starscream finds himself flown into the past. But can he change the future?

None of the Malofilm VHS cover art was specifically related to the contents of the episodes either, as they were all various segments of promotional art related to the 1986 animated feature The Transformers: The Movie.

IGA Transformers also eventually made their way to a variety of European markets, slightly decreasing their rarity. Sadly, you can't wear the head as a mask. It woulda been a great companion piece to the previous year's wearable Matrix.

Though rather obscure, there is even an official term for two Transformers in a relationship: " sparkmates". Existing as a fan term mostly, it has been used in two official sources: the end-of-game bio for Airazor, in reference to her and Tigatron, in the Nintendo 64 version of the Beast Wars Transmetals video game; [1] and again in Venus, a sub-feature of The AllSpark Almanac. In addition, Downshift's Cyber Key Code info appears to refer to Transformer marriage in stating that he and his lifebond partner "joined together under the Covenant of Primus". The name is in no way an indication that tragic events, melancholy proceedings, momentously wrong decisions, and sorrowful beings will be found aboard it. Not at all. The Transformers is an American animated television series that originally aired from September 17, 1984, to November 11, 1987, in syndication Arcee could deploy "Cannon Turrets", "Anti Air Turrets", and "Sniper Turrets" through the Ground Bridge to aid her in destroying Vehicons. Transformers Prime: Terrorcon Defense Tailgate eventually found himself in what appeared to be the Afterspark and proceeded to wait for Cyclonus to find him. Cyclonus lived up to his expectations after he and the rest of Team Rodimus found themselves in the same place. MetastasisTailgate and Cyclonus swapped stories of what had happened to them after their parting. Tailgate awoke in this place depowered and with only a vague memory of his last moments underground. When Cyclonus told Tailgate that he hadn't died on Skip but rather when Tailgate told him to leave, the minibot declared that the two would now have a new deal: they were never to separate again. The God War But when it was revealed that the planet Team Rodimus had found themselves on wasn't the Afterspark, but a telepathic euthanasia clinic the bots realized it was likely that Tailgate was really just another construct. After Rodimus and crew shut down the clinic's systems, Cyclonus declared his love for Tailgate. Tailgate embraced him and told him to protect him as the constructs faded. However, seemingly miraculously, Tailgate remained even after the clinic's systems had completely died. They didn't have much time to celebrate though, as they were immediately set upon by a group of sparkeaters that were former members of the Lost Light's crew! You Are Here
