LGBTQ+ Transformers fan thread
- Thread starter MadameVixen
- Start date
Starting Star Trek Enterprise. Seems to have a very manly crew. Captain Archer, Trip, Malcolm are quite attractive. Trip and Archer have been unclothed so early in the show, haha
I think there was a rumor that Malcom Reed was going to be gay. But one of the producers (who took over way back during TNG when Gene died) was against any of that sort of thing, so it never happened.
I like the show well enough. I watched it when it first aired, and rewatched it maybe five years ago. It seems regressive, backtracking on both gender parity and racial diversity compared to the trajectory of the previous shows.
Trip got pregnant though and they didn't make fun of his condition that much. When he acted a little hysterical on the elevator and was being picky with his food, there was little reaction from those around him.
Malcolm Reed could have been gay? Hmm. He kept to himself a lot so could have been keeping secrets. I liked that nobody knew that his favorite food was pineapples. His best friend said he probably hated fish, though paired it with Malcolm just being in the fish restaurant cuz he had a crush on a waitress.

Yea, Rick Berman constantly threw wrenches into overt depictions of queerness. He's the primary reason that Garak eventually ended up with a female love interest, after all. Ira Steven Behr and Andrew Robinson both wanted Garak to be gay.
ShowZ had a Trans/LGBQT+ related Transformers product up but I'm going to put this behind a spoiler as it didn't end as well as I had hoped...
Regardless, here's a cool t-shirt that I think we can order.
Nice little TF badge is coming out at ShowZ.

...Aaand after I emailed the site to complain about anti-LGBQT+ comments and downvoted positive comments, the product was quickly removed...
(One of the comments there demanded the product be removed)
ShowZ then sent me another reply after I asked them for an update
I replied and told them they I was disappointed in their decision (as it could be seen as pandering to the whims of right-wing trolls) and told them I might be buying less of their products in the future.

Anybody watching X-Men 97 here?
Is it just me but are they sorta making Morph a bit too lecherous? He's pals with Wolverine but is his innuendo going a bit too far?
Are people reading anything into the second ep when Logan was moping and Morph turns into Sabertooth to get him to tussle with him?

If you folks watch Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, could I get your thoughts on Phoebe and her relationship? I'm getting vibes of what I think they're trying to pull but maaaybe it's just me?
Also Podcast got a such a glow up! He totally long bottomed! I couldn't take my eyes off him because he was the spitting image of Glitch from Dance Central 2 and 3!

I read Sandman and the Children's Crusade crossover with all the annuals but I've never read the Dead Boy Detective miniserieses.
Am five eps into the show and everyone is gay for Edwin, hehe. The witch didn't even try for a female to vamp him. But Edwin is underage. And dead.
And since when was he the brains and Charles was the brawn?
I'm liking the cases because it reminds me of Pushing Daisies. Not super magic realism but there's some camp to the world, like the dandelions. Also same premise of dead people asking for cases to be solved.

I picked up on it too and I appreciate the subtlety of it... it's there if you want it to be but could also just be a good friendship. In fact I feel it was really well done considering how heavy handed the rest of the movie's emotional arcs were played ("AM I YOUR FRIEND OR YOUR FATHER??")
Loved Dead Boy Detectives, ate it up in 2 nights! I will need to track down the comics at some point.
I think the underage thing is a nonissue because of how long they've actually been around - Edwin spent 70 years in hell, Charles died in the '80s. Plus the actors don't *look* like boys. Maybe that's why they kept making the "that's a dumb name" joke, the whole "Boys" part of the title doesn't really work with the live action. And when the bureaucracy made such a big deal about them being minors it really fell flat. Like ok, sure they are.
I immediately had to follow Charles/Jayden Revri's IG. His look and some of his expressions remind me of a few people I know. I definitely have a type ha!
I also thought (I guess spoiler): I thought Edwin's repressed sexuality might be because of his time in hell... like he was thinking he got sent to hell because he's gay? So he was going to try to hide it/deny it. But that was never indicated.
I've been meaning to share these pics since... well, last August!
Last summer Provincetown's Carnival Theme was LAND OF TOYS. As soon as I heard that was the theme (announced at the 2022 Carnival) I knew I'd have to be there no matter what! I was hoping to put together a Transformers cosplay for it, but ended up not having the time or money to devote to it.
It was a great time, Provincetown always it, but seeing all the businesses and a lot of the people decked out in queer toy theme decor and costumes was delectable icing on the cake!
I figured I'd share the pics that might be of interest to a TF board!
I bought this poster (I still need to frame it and hang it up!)
I passed this place the first day, when it was pristine, with plans to take pics of it (and everything else) later in the week. Of course we ended up having a day or 2 of rain and high winds...
