I thought he was cheering on IDW Blurr or is this supposed to be IDW Version 2.0 Blur?

I dunno, I'm just going with it's an alternate universe IDW Blurr since the main IDW Blurr was killed by Unicron.

In this case, though, Dia is a holographic avatar driver.MaximalNui wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The comic is using the Nightstick that came with Selects Artfire as a repurposed Dia.MaximalNui wrote:Not gonna lie, this comic makes me wish Burnout came with a Dia pilot figure.

I know that, I just wish she was part of the actual figure. Even if she didn't actually transform and just rode the vehicle mode. A stronger nod to the mecha nature of the Diaclone line.

Based on what? These figures dont have any bios on the boxes and the Skids mold dosnt even look remotely female. Without something on the packaging, some established fiction to go off of (no, a designer interview dosnt count), or a clear visual indicator of what gender a figure is, I think we are free to decide for ourselves whether the figures on our shelves are male or female.
Botcon fiction & bio (which is how Burnout even became a TF character in the first place), the designers referred to her as "her" for the entirety of the Velocitron reveal stream, and her appearances in comics since then have either preserved the use of female pronouns or just never addressed her by anything other than name.grimdragon2001 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Burn Out is female.Nemesis Destron wrote:It's aaaaall person to person in the end.

BotCon 2015 Burn Out is a mech yes, but its pilot Dia (who came with BotCon 2015 Sergeant Hound) is female. The rest is extrapolated from that.

Luckily for you, Burn Out's Masterpiece looks to be getting more feminine features that are also closer to the original Diaclone toy. The MP is even being named "Dia Burnout" in reference to Dia, her Diaclone pilot from the BotCon toy.grimdragon2001 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Burn Out has been female since 2015.grimdragon2001 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Burn Out is female.Nemesis Destron wrote:It's aaaaall person to person in the end.

Didnt know about Botcon 2015's bio, so my bad there. I do think HasTak needs to be held to a higher standard when it comes to female Transformers figures though. We know they can make fantastic female figures now so repainting a male figure and calling it female dosnt work as well for me anymore. Just seems even more lazy than the usual repaint.

Just curious why the people making the figure wouldn't count? The creators should always be considered the highest authority on the character they've made. These same designers are the ones that decided that Road Rocket is female now and that seems to have stuck with the comic showing fellow female ninja Nightbird cheering for her instead of a fellow Autobot ninja like Greatshot or Sixknight.
The comic also calls her out as Dia Burnout like the MP.

It's Nightbird who's cheering for Road Rocket because the Legends manga already established Nightbird as the mentor of both Road Rocket and Road Pig.Emerje wrote:These same designers are the ones that decided that Road Rocket is female now and that seems to have stuck with the comic showing fellow female ninja Nightbird cheering for her instead of a fellow Autobot ninja like Greatshot or Sixknight.

That's why we have canon, and fanon

Yours can be a dude, man. Doesn't change canon, but you're free to have your plastic robots be whatever gender you want.
