Spoop

commission for @vimub

based on a fic (Fourth by Kyn)

He said the same design, just with a female personality.

And it’s dawned on me

(unless I’m mistaken and he was looking at the animation-accurate design, but something tells me not)

that this means he probably looked at this

(the toy-accurate G1 Ratchet design, as shown on TFWiki)

and said

“yep, this is a female character”

and honestly that would be progressive AF

No soft feminine curves? No hot pink or pastel color palette? No being automatically assigned a male counterpart to be the girlfriend of?

Just a red-and-white box that unfolds into a faceless abomination with guns and arms?

However, while I enjoyed the event, the table spacing and crowd control was not safe at all. The aisles between booths in the artist alley were not even 2 meters across, and there were multiple chokepoints due to the lack of open exits(there were only 2 single doorways on each side of the entrance!). People who had crutches, canes, or wheelchairs struggled to even move through the packed crowds. Space is a critical element for EVERYONE to enjoy themselves, especially when it comes to the TF fandom where there is a higher concentration of large cosplays.

When it came down to the more popular artist alley/special guest booths, the lines would crowd in front of the other artists so that people trying to buy from them would have to crowd through in order to reach them. This lack of line control is a disservice not to the attendees, but to the vendors and artists who work hard to bring such a large event to life.
