All-female Transformers team to be unveiled in Hasbro's comic series

An all-female Transformers team will be unveiled in American multinational toy company Hasbro's comic series before releasing their toy versions of the group in the future.

According to USA Today, Hasbro will unveil a team of six new female Transformers in the IDW comic series' Transformers: Combiner Hunters' in July, the Verge reported.

Sarah Carroll, senior brand manager for Transformers at Hasbro, asserted that their female fans have demanded to be part of the story and to have them be represented as well is something that's only natural.

Female Transformers have existed since the series launched in the 1980s with characters like Solus Prime taking important roles in the series' mythology but haven't achieved the same level of prominence as core characters like Optimus Prime and Megatron.
