    A cool and well-executed gimmick too!

    I seem to recall hearing that there has only been one year since 1984 that there has not been a new season of Transformers cartoon released. Offhand does anyone know which year it was?

    I'm guessing early 90s, before Beast Wars started...
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    1991 - no new Transformers cartoon
    1992 - no new Transformers cartoon
    1995 - no new Transformers cartoon


    Footnotes
    1. I guess G2 (1993-94) technically counts as a "new" Transformers cartoon... more like a bad reissue. :/
    2. 2001-02 saw Car Robot come out, which was basically a dub of 2000's Transformers Car Robot. So the status of that series as "new" for that year may also be debatable like G2.

    Hasbro or Takara book reissue? I have the Takara one and have no such problem.

    1. I don't know the exact number of fans who are girls, but there are quite a few female Transformer fans (some who love drawing TF Yaoi...), including here on this board. But Transformers has always been a predominantly male thing (but that's not to say that girls aren't welcome) Beast Wars International is a predominantly female Transformers community and there are also quite a few female TF fans on The Lexicon -- the admins of both these communities are female TF fans. I've met them both IRL and they're great gals.

    2. No idea if Bulkie's still alive or not... we'll find out when TF Prime resumes airing.

    There's also the large number of girls keep fairly quiet, or just don't state their gender online, as they could be hassled by dickheads. They are, unfortunately everywhere, as in real life (dickheads I mean, not girls).

    The Fan Fic stuff has a HUGE readership online. HUGE. They have all that stuff they LOVE, and good on them. It's not my thing, but they're pretty wide-ranging. A lot of Starscream stiff, except he is kind of a twink, with Megatron as his lover.

    Like I said, not my thing, but if that's what you want, it gets a lot of female readership and involvement.

    I think the 2-5% figure is FAR from comprehensive, and I don't think it includes readers from the fringe areas.

    How high is it really? I don't know. Depends. Starscream fan fic = a lot more, for example.

    So it's still not 50/50, but there's definitely more than that, even just including the mainstream stuff.
