News Files - Transformers Gender

Despite being artificial life forms with non-sexual methods of production, Cybertronians include both male and female gender analogues, at least mentally, if not physically. The term "femme" is used to describe females, with "mech" likewise being applied to male Cybertronians. Femmes are comparatively more graceful of form, more rounded, and curved in general, than their mech counterparts. Often they have a more than passing resemblance to a slender human female made of metal and wearing armour. There are exceptions to this rule. Some femmes are bulky and less overtly human-female-like. Mechs outnumber femmes by twelve to one. Some believe this is because twelve of the Thirteen original Cybertronians were said to be mechs, and the other one a femme.
