    You know up until this point I hadn't even considered gender, and there's some really good names getting thrown around

    Most TF names are gender neutral - e.g. Strongarm and Strongarm etc.
    There's no inherent reason why Starscream, Hellwarp etc. can't be assigned to female characters as many of these are comprised of gender-neutral words. It's only really relevant when using gendered-names or words.

    Having said that, "Ultra Magnus" is a contradiction in gender as 'ultra' is feminine while 'magnus' is masculine. Grammatically speaking it should either be "Ulter Magnus" (m.) or "Ultra Magna" (f.). Or maybe Magnus' original load-bearing little 'bot was female.

    wingblade? given his/her wings look like some sort of hand to hand combat blades. I know a heap of people keep calling windblade, wingblade but I'm pretty sure it would be an original name.

    The flying brick that combined with energon prime was a wingblade, it's a good fit but I also like some of the ones that Goktimus has been throwing around, especially using German and Latin but leaning towards German.

    Stabilisers added! Need to bulk the shoulders up a bit, scribe some details - also changed the wrist guards.
