Bechdel Test

Is the trivia true? Didn't Verity talk with her female social worker about her behavior at one point? Magaroja (talk) 19:29, 22 January 2014 (EST)

Yeah, Infiltration # 4, if I'm not mistaken. --Nu-Priest (talk) 19:41, 22 January 2014 (EST)
Female Transformers != women --Emvee (talk) 10:11, 23 January 2014 (EST)
Are we or are we not interpreting "men" and "women" as including all "male" and "female" characters, whether human or otherwise? --Khajidha (talk) 10:27, 23 January 2014 (EST)
I've no problem with the Bechdel Test note going on Infiltration #4's page, but having to qualify that this is the first time that two female Transformers have talked to each other is stretching the point beyond noteworthiness. --Emvee (talk) 12:31, 23 January 2014 (EST)
Indeed, it has been physically impossible for the test to be passed by Transformers before now. It's also the first time a female character has held a wrench. Or the first time a female character has slid down a hooked rope. I know we're on the internet and the internet just loooooves to make the test a thing lately, but the point of note should be that there are new female character AT ALL, not that their introduction suddenly allows the comic to pass the test. - Chris McFeely (talk)
