I think you are being really silly. They are just hugging.
But there are some rather...odd poses... as one scrolls through.
I kinda wish I knew what they were saying to see if its just my mind being dirty or not.
But then again it's not as bad as *shudder* kiss players.

It has been speculated by some that certain parts are softer and more flexible on Transformers (hush your filthy mind).
I was referring to their palms and mouths.

The colors reminds me a lot of the all-female Hana no Kunoichi Gumi (a.k.a. the Hanarangers) from Kakuranger, in that they all share the common secondary colors of black and silver, along with a brighter primary color for each of them.Bounti76 wrote:Megatronia is like...G2 Victorion.

There's a difference. Compare her to, say, Strika from "Beast Machines." Both are supposed to be powerful female warriors who lead a group of "bad guys" against the heroes...while Strika is a commanding presence who balances physical power with tactical skills and natural charisma to present an actual threat, Megaempress is a manipulative vamp whose sole motivation seems to be getting it on with Megatron/Galvatron. One is a villain, the other is a caricature bordering on parody.
...which isn't to say there isn't value in that, since the Megatronia story was told in SUCH an over-the-top fashion that it suggests the team ARE intended as parodies. On one hand, it's kind of a shame that the first all-female team, much less all-female Decepticon team, in Takara canon is such a blatant joke; on the other, it's not like the Torchbearers have ever shown much of any sort of characterization, positive or negative, since they were introduced. I mean, Pyra Magna now has some kind of vague grudge against Optimus, that's more or less been it since the team was introduced. Ultimately, which is better: a team of embarrassing Thunderblast-from-"Cybertron/Galaxy Force" wanna-bes or a team of cardboard standees who spend most of their time as body parts for a Deus Ex Machina?
Either way, I just want the toys. Maybe paint up a black-and-neon counterpart to Rust Dust to serve as Megatronia's bra...call her "Cyclejoker" or something to go with the card theme.
