Examples, please.

I always liked Cybertron Override and Thunderblast.

A solid list with solid reasons. I liked how you explained why you chose the character you did in what order. Yes, while most people are going to defer to G1 Arcee because of the movie and her appearance in the 3rd Season, you are right, she really doesn't have much to do in many of those episodes save for 2 (the one where she and Ultra Magnus get stuck fighting the beast mechanimals and when she was turned into a human).

While I like the suggestions of Windblade, she's too new and I'd giver her definitely the Rookie of the Year award.

I would also like to see maybe a top 5, top 10 list of Female Transformers toys. Now that would be interesting.

Thanks! And yeah, a list like that would be pretty interesting, since it would be totally different (two on this list don't even have transforming toys that are molds of their own). I'll definitely take that suggestion.

I'll say it's Arcee, Elita One, Windblade, Override, and Black Arachnia

How could this list possibly not include Flamewar?

So true my friend!

Appart that bio card, there's nothing about her anywhere. The ones on the list have at least several episodes of character devlopment to go for them

The toy, however, is SAH-WEET! The best use of the deluxe BH Arcee mold.

Botanica was a plant with a face that morphed into a different plant with a slightly different face.

Like all plants she had lightning powers. Because... reasons.

She tops the list of the most nonsensical TF characters ever.

I thought she was in the Botcon comic

The audience of a cartoon broadcast on TV is, I guess, slightly bigger than a limited edition comic.

I think Sari was a great female character also but she comes off as more of a human character than being one of the Autobots

I also dont think she fits the description of a fembot, at least not the one I was working with. She is partly made from human DNA which doesnt make her fully cybertronian either. She would be more on the list of top kid sidekicks, not that I was planning on having one (I could make a top 5 worst list though, no problem).

But its good she was brought up because this list is all about the bringing to attention the diversity of the transformers line.

My inner Masterforce fanboy is itching. Someone said 'Minerva', and that got me thinking...

Overlord?

He's activated by two humans, one is male and the other female. While it's debatable to what extent it makes MF Overlord female, the transtectors do adopt the personalities partly from their human engines. So that would mean Overlord is at least influenced by a human female. Mega shows, during the series, a more and more caring side for her fellow decepticons. This later on shows in Overlord, when he objects to Zarak's handling of the final battle. Overlord defends the lives of the decepticons, a trait previously shown by Mega, the female component of Overlord.

Just throwing it out there, since Botanica's female psyche is a factor in her being placed on the list.

Also, Mega's transtector forms the upper body of Overlord, where we can assume all the vital parts are. Giga's transtector forms only the legs. So can we say that Mega's transtector is the "dominant" part? If so, that makes Overlord a chick. A really flat-chested chick.

Blackarachnia rightfully deserves top spot, but Strika was robbed...

Good point. Was the "noble" part of the transtector Overlord the result of Mega's psyche/personality?

EDIT: Why no Strika?

No. Just no. Saying that Airachnid is Blackarachnia is like saying Starscream is Jetfire. Both are kinda similar in overall look, but both are completely different characters. Blackaracknia, unlike Airachnid, was never a sadistic psychopath with a thirst for power.

Season 1 Blackarachnia did, particularly in The Spark and The Trigger pt. 1&2

I saw the whole BW and Animated an in memory, Blacky was a "mean femme fatalle". But only for just a few episodes before she changed completely to become "good". Airach, however, seem to become a more and more of a monster as the Prime series advanced... Until the Point Of No Return at the end of Beast Hunters!

I’d say Airachnid hunting Jack and Blackarachnia hunting Cheetor were practically on the same level, same with Airachnid trying to take over the Decepticons and Blackarachnia taking over Brigadoon... but yes, they eventually went in opposite directions

That’s true.
