User:Fiction Alchemist

My name is C. V. Reynolds. I'm the author of an original novel series. It's the "Universe Eleven Series" and you can get them as ebooks on Amazon.

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. Recently I've been watching American stuff like Steven Universe, The Amazing World of Gumball, and Gravity Falls.

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.

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

I have more than 500 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 (BW), and Dinobot (BW). I love EVERY character in Transformers Animated. My current most favorite characters are probably Sari Sumdac and 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. 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 another barrel of sexism, but I won't get into that now).

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

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

I'm not fond of the live-action movies, though the 2007 one is okay.
