Artist Andrew Griffith, who fans should remember well because of his work in the first IDW Transformers comics, is returning once more to IDW in their new Transformers reboot.
Via his Twitter, Andrew lets us know that he will be doing art in the upcoming issue #4 of the new IDW continuity. As part of this new project, he got the chance to create a new female character. While he was not able to reveal her name of full details on the story, we are treated with the full body sketch of a beautiful winged fembot. The sketch is not final colors, but the first ideas shared between Andrew Griffith and talented colorist Josh Burcham.

She looks cool – kinda Airazor meets MOTU Sorceress.

More Fembots, the better. Depending on what she transforms into, I wonder if a Decepticon remold is possible using bat wings, ala Scourge and Mindwipe.

Hopefully a toy is made for this

i do wonder how much input Hasbro gives for bot designs in this new universe. OC or not, they know that if a character catches on, fans are going to want a toy for them. If the answer is "a lot", then I'd wager Hasbro pointed to the current fembot design and said "match that".

Man.. I don't have a problem per se with skinny female robots (though keep fighting that good chunky robo lady fight), but when they're just mechanical barbies that don't even look like they transform, that my issue. Andrew Griffith is a very talented artist but his design is bland and uninspired. so, despite the fact that my art is way too cartoony to ever be good for drawing robots..

Nah, if it isn't a user, go ahead but just don't use the F bomb for every other word. Ok, but on topic. Cheers.
Rodimus Prime
Ah, okay, thanks. Wasn't trying to be troublesome, just didn't want to say something sucked and get an infraction.
Gamerlingual
Others, which is what the last couple of deleted posts were.
Rodimus Prime
Just for clarification, insulting other users or the design? Because it's pretty easy to view most criticism of a work as an insult.
Gamerlingual
Refrain from insults, please. Next one who does gets an infraction point. That is all.

Just going to throw my hat in the ring and say I also think this looks like some Deviantart OC crap. I suppose the design isn't that bad, and I dig the colours, but it's about as lazy as lazy gets for originality (or lack thereof).

This is what happens when you youngins stop makin' babies. Now put down those TF figures, and…

That's more of a reference to a play pattern for toys that were originally packaged in alt-mode. Things that don't resemble robots change into robots.
Intentional subterfuge is only really implied in the case of "Decepticons".

i made a boring yet better fembot design. why cant they just make generic ACTUAL ROBOT fembots if they wanna be generic?
