Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

If you can tell me what it is I'll update the news post.

hmm... in BBTS's picture it looks like a glass cup.

The car structure around her won't allow the Barbie-esque proportions. But the mere fact Tomy did a bit of re-molding on her?

You people seem to overreacting to this, you knew when you went in this would be a retool of tracks, and you seem to have expected getting a new mold from this. Gee I wonder if roadrages past toys are known for their femininity?
Oh, look at that, even the club's roadrage/sg tracks proxy, looks like tracks. I wonder why. It even goes back to g1, there must be some sort of conspiracy here. That's sarcasm.

For anyone who says she doesn't look female enough, you guys must have a total conniption with Strika's build. Hate to break it to ya, but the female body is just as diverse as the male body. Most bots who mimic males demonstrate this characteristic, so there's really no reason a fembot should be different.
Not trying to be PC here; that's just how it is.
Ya don't say...
Fembots are scarce. It would be nice when we get one that it'd be recognizable, whether it's Strika's build or Blackarachnia's.
Strika still looks feminine with her deco and babushka,
and Strongarm does as well with her lips and sculpted chest plate. This looks like a guy, point blank. I already have 100's of male figures... don't need my fembots looking like males as well

Toys' lips can be really tricky to sculpt right, even if we're not talking robots. I recall the first Marvel Legends Scarlet Witch had a similar problem and had to be redone. As for this new Leiji...that's the official face, so (sigh) 3rd Parties, it's been headballed into your court. Knock it out of the park.

Yeah, I do, actually.Fembots are scarce. It would be nice when we get one that it'd be recognizable, whether it's Strika's build or Blackarachnia's.
Considering I was a fan back when the only would-be fembots around were Pathfinder and Crasher from the GoBots, I'm well aware of that fact. This female MP character is a golden cupcake compared to what Hasbro or Takara offered for the better part of 30 years.Strika still looks feminine with her deco and babushka,
Are you kidding me? The only thing feminine about Strika is her voice. And "babushka?" That's like a grandma in Russian. Maybe you're referencing "ushanka" instead, tovarish.and Strongarm does as well with her lips and sculpted chest plate. This looks like a guy, point blank. I already have 100's of male figures... don't need my fembots looking like males as well
Strongarm, I agree with. But I don't see this bot as a dude. Again, Strika is practically Arnold Schwarzenegger with skinny legs and a chick's voice.

This made me LOL. I definitely see and agree with your point of view on this aspect; bot-lips can make or break a figure's appeal for me. It's the primary reason I didn't buy MP Sideswipe, and have held back on a number of 3rd party figures.

I don't know, I think they femmed up the mold pretty nicely.
