Now I want there to be a bonus cutscene(assuming this game has cutscenes) that has 9 stumble upon Call while wearing a Shantae cosplay. Hopefully there'd be some Leaning on the Fourth Wall.
I just had a Fridge Logic moment... Beck and Call are robots. Who says they're wearing anything right now? For all we know, either one wearing Shantae's outfit is just what we usually see, but with MC Hammer pants and a sash acting as a bra.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.I think the design post for Beck said that he was explicitly designed to look like he was wearing armor rather than it being part of him.
Okay, so not officially official.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersNah, we need a cutscene of Beck innocently walking into Call's room while she's changing clothes...
Okay then. A cutscene of Beck walking into Call's room while she's changing into a Shantae cosplay outfit.

"What? Its how I relax."
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI'm hoping there is another Female Mighty, I don't know why.
I know why. Because fuck tokenism.
There's no reason why mighty numerical robots shouldn't be female. Robots means gender roles can take a flying leap.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThank you, Bocaj.
Robots only have gender if we give it to them.

Mega Man fanatic extraordinaireNope. We don't give robots genders. The character designers do, and in universe it's the engineers and programmers who make a given robot look and act like a specific gender.
I'm sure if we told a robot that was designed and programmed as a female that it wasn't actually female in any concrete sense it would have a logic failure and explode.

Not if they were sentient robots.
The Protomen enhanced my life.Or if they hve any idea of the difference between organics and mechs.
I have a message from another time...Sentients without dysmorphia have a difficult time reconciling with the concept unless they give it a whole lot of thought or just don't care.
I meant we as in humans. Not we as in the audience.
Since humans are necessary to design and build robots.
THEN WHERE DID TRANSFORMERS COME FROM?!
Forever liveblogging the AvengersA very tragic stable time loop.
Oh.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersTransformers don't have genders apparently.
The only reason Arcee and the later female Transformers were actually female is presumably because of severe modification. I think Arcee's was due to some mad scientist or something.
Lampshade Hanging: It's a lifestyle.Except when they do. It's really confusing and varies by continuity.
Evidently they have a 12:1 gender ratio in the newest continuity or something ridiculous like that so there being few females is at least explained.
There are also some non-feminine female T Fs though.

What exactly would a concrete sense be in this context? Are we talking robo-vaginas? Double X Chromosomes? Diploidy? Asymmetrical gametes? I'm not sure there's any way a robot can actually be female in any concrete sense. Or male.
I'm more imagining Call dressing as Shantae.
