Why is this at (RID) instead of (Adventure)? It's not like Hot Rod (Henkei!) is at Hot Rod (Universe). --ItsWalky (talk) 03:47, 22 March 2015 (EDT)

Are we really going to use male pronouns here just because there's no proof that this character is female? I mean. I get why you're doing it, I guess. But "male until proven otherwise" has never really sat right with me. (See also: Universe Midnight Express being referred to as "he" despite being identical to a female character and having no fiction whatsoever.) Riptide (talk) 09:10, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

In most cases I'd agree, but considering this is Takara we're talking about, I think we can be reasonably certain that if Greejeeber was a woman, the package art would, alas, make it pretty damn clear... Jalaguy (talk) 09:25, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
The art even goes out of its way to eliminate what little femininity the toy evinces (the pronounced lips), so it does seem to be making a statement on the character's gender. - Chris McFeely (talk)
I wonder if the packaging art and copy goes against the deco's intent, since the face is decoed in coded-female colors purple and pink for no reason -- original Greejeeber's head was black with green eyes -- and that seems pretty weird if TakaraTomy was trying to entirely unlady the character. (That's trying to fish for motives a bit too much to base wiki decisions on, so I'm mostly just musing.) --ItsWalky (talk) 13:17, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
Fair or not, "male unless otherwise specified" is a totally reasonable conclusion by boys' toy standards in general and Transformers in particular. All that being said, I would basically be dumbfounded if this toy hasn't made an appearance somewhere as a G1 female inside of eighteen months. -LV (talk) 14:16, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
