I think that females page is great! I love that the Boga is in there too! That page is perfect for little girls who have brothers that play and want to find some female figures.

Cool, so then no objections to removing the males and robots then?

I mean General G has TWO silly cats now: Cyborg Attacktix | Male Attacktix

It's a waste of cyberspace. Again, I'd rather see a Categrory:General Grievous where it lists ALL the GG figures... but I Cyborg and Male???

Well in the same vein I would ONLY add Female Programming, or just make Arcee female. How many female TFs are there? We are talking Smurf ratios, right?

Yes, aside from Arcee in the original series there was only one episode that had a female Transformer named Eleta-1 (Unless you count the Paradron Medic that was essentially an Arcee repaint).

From latter series I can only think of in Trasformers is Blackarachnia and Botanica from Beast Wars/Machines, well at least that had any significant roles. So yeah Smurf ratio is a good way to put it.

Finally, a chance for me to show off some heavy TF knowledge (since I'm always getting hit with Star Wars EU knowledge!)! ;D

G1:
Aeriel (sp?)...
Elita-One
Moonracer
Chromia
Fire Star
Arcee
Paradron Medic
... and the name Beta comes to mind, though I'm not sure where she fits in..
Also, not a real TF, but Nijika


BW:
Black Arachnia (2 forms)
Airazor

BM:
Black Arachnia
Botanica (Kudos to you, IonicDesign, for remembering a female TF character that most people forget! )

Cybertron:
Override
Thunderblast

I probably forgot a couple, but considering how many "males" there are, Joe is correct. It is basically male/female Smurf ratio.

Ok, so as I sorta started this mess I plan of trying to fix it:

Yah to Character Categories (All Vaders, Primes, Spidey's, Luke's, etc.)
Female Attacktix
Nah to Male/Robot Attacktix

I'll leave Male/Robot for now (not enough time to fix it as of yet but I'll ork on it) but I'll make sure to get the two yahs done for you guys.

I'm now working on code on each universe's templates that will add categories automatically, based on the values that are filled into the templates (thanks to the Marvel Database character template). Hopefully, that will make categorizing things easy enough, especially if we use consistent terminology in the figure template boxes. I'm creating an overly inclusive
