My name is C. V. Reynolds. I'm the author of an original novel series. This series doesn't have one published entry yet, but I'll work on that. It will probably hinder me that the first book in the series is a Unicron-sized book at more than 217,000 words long.

I've been a Transformers fan as long as I can remember. I love Transformers from all lines and times.

I'm also a big fan of anime, video games, and picking my nose.

I get off to a bad start everywhere I go, but I get better and people get used to seeing my dumb ass around.

I should put something else here, I guess... Let's see what I can do.

Well, my current favorite Transformers show is Animated and my least favorite is Energon. Not a huge surprise, I guess.

I have more than 400 Transformers at the time of this writing. I don't know whether that is considered a lot.

I dream of someday writing something for Transformers, but I won't get my hopes up on that one.

Hard to pick a favorite Transformers toy, but as far as characters go, I've always been fond of Optimus Prime (G1), Megatron (G1), Megatron (BW), Soundwave (G1), Tarantulas, and Dinobot (BW). I love EVERY character in Transformers Animated. My current most favorite characters are probably Sari Sumdac and especially Shockwave (Animated) who is AWESOME times 4.

TF Opinions:

I am pro female Transformers and think there should be many more of them. I think the idea of female Transformers being "controversial" when so many of them clearly have male forms is misogynistic. The idea of males always being the default annoys me, especially when these are alien robots that shouldn't logically have humanoid forms anyway. I think Spotlight: Arcee is crap and its depiction of a "psycho bitch" Arcee is what should REALLY be controversial. It's not that I don't understand the "Transformers aren't supposed to have sexes" thing, but they obviously DO have mental gender, and they are overwhelmingly male with male voices using the pronouns "he", "him", and "his".

The above paragraph was, of course, speaking of Transformers fiction and I understand the concept of To sell toys (which could bring up a whole 'nother barrel of sexism, but I won't get into that now).

I am not against Transformers reproduction (assuming a continuity where TFs have sparks as souls) provided that it is not based on the robots having sex. They're robots, not animals.

I am almost always anti-humanization, though I approve of the Transformers having diverse and colorful personalities (IE: What they didn't get in Cybertron) and realize that most of them are humanoid (and that I even like it that way).

I am pro humans in the fiction as long as they're not too annoying. I especially like Sari Sumdac, although... Well, you know. I desire more interactions between Transformers and humans that result in one species learning about/misunderstanding the other.
