    Hasn’t seen this one yet. The bots seem a bit undertextured compared to the humans from the stills ive seen. Not a fan of that style.

    Honestly it would make more sense if they all went by neutral pronouns. Kinda odd that a species with, as far as I’ve seen, a very skewed gender ratio would have any concept of male/female.

        3d TV animation has never really looked right to me. Like, most of the time it’s passable, but it still looks very artificial in many shows.

            I liked the mix they did with Cybertron (the one with the cyber keys. God this show is confusing to talk about.), but that might be nostalgia talking.

                It’s cool. Not for everyone though. Lots of Super Sentai style fights and transformations. I really like that they have other planets with native bots on them.

                It’s teeechnically a sequel to the two preceding shows, but it’s essentially a completely separate series. Unicron trilogy was weird.

        Not sure if this is exactly what you’re talking about, but I remember Bionicle had exactly 1/6th of the population be female because the demographics were projected to be that. Such a weird way to do it given that most people who picked up those toys probably didn’t bother with the story, and there wasn’t really a way to tell they were female without reading up on it.

          Wow I never knew this-

          Though that 1/6 might also have been just a coincidence initially, in many iterations Bionicle had six Toas and evil bionicles each, which meant one token female between the six.

            That’s probably closer to the truth. It would be odd for a bunch of old dudes to think a sixth of the audience for action figures would be girls, but that’s just what I was told.
