>>10953149That would be crazy obtrusive. Maybe hip skirt armor like how Earthrise Elita has in her design would be the more practical version of that concept.
>>10953176Elitas backpack def isn't horribly offensive. But it feels like a huge step back compared to engineering of the male figures. She pretty much just is a higher quality combiner wars style transformation.
Truly simplest solution is just do the arms like this. The G1 female autobots all are just the standard Floro Dery look. If Hasbro has figured out Hot Rod, Blurr and Kup they can figure it out easy. Just thin out areas of the designs and stick to what they did with Legacy Elitas legs and just lean into the boot look.
Hasbro needs to learn female figures sell less not because they're female. They sell less because they're half assing the engineering. Which is ironic because they're pretty much half assing it because of the former. It's just so agitating seeing the same mistakes made over and over again, especially when we then get thrown shit like the rock armorizers, like they really put more faith and budget in THOSE?
