In the MTMTE Annual, K'gard's species were shown to tower over Ultra Magnus, but here they're shown to be significantly shorter than Starscream/Astrotrain. Does that qualify as an error, or...? --Riptide (talk) 18:02, 19 July 2017 (EDT)

I say note it as a potential error, and alternatively species variety. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:13, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
Alex Milne clarified on TFW2005 he's on offshoot of K'gard's species. Source. Jcbynum1 (talk) 18:21, 19 July 2017 (EDT)

Stardrive's gender

Think we need to open some discussion here, because I don't agree with the recent edit's assessment. Stardrive would not have been "assigned male" on Cybertron, because she would never have been born there. Whatever term you want to use to describe her, be it that she has a "female bodyform," or that she's "cisgender," or your terminology of choice, Stardrive is a "type" of female Transformer - one who identifies as female, and whose bodyform is outwardly, naturally female - that does not exist naturally on Cybertron in the present day, only on colony worlds. - Chris McFeely (talk)

I agree with Riptide and Chris. Stardrive naturally (insofar as social sentients can do) from an exceptionally young age developed a female identity, including a chassis, unopposed and in line with the society that raised her. In this timeframe that would not have happened on Cybertron. The note is therefore relevant for this issue to account for her somewhat jarring existence to Cybertron-born Cybertronians. S.H.I.E.L.D.

Yeah, Stardrive is from Caminus, so what she'd be assigned on Cybertron is immaterial. Plus the mention of "we see female cameos" doesn't potentially mean anything other than these are likely the people Anode was describing as having gotten chassis refits such as her own to match her self image. --ItsWalky (talk) 21:31, 24 October 2017 (EDT)
