    Wait, so she’s never had a transforming toy that wasn’t a recolor? That’s kind of crazy

    Super-God Masterforce is like Transformers version of Super Sentai, funny enough the studio that made the anime is Toei who is also responsible for Super Sentai.

    Minerva, the character who opened the flood gates for all Transformers fembots appearing on the shelves of retail outlets.

    she’s so cool-I wish her Legacy figure did her more justice. Definitely a character I enjoy having in my collection

    This is wild. I thought I knew all the female Autobots, but I’ve never heard of Minerva! So nice to be surprised! ✨💎✨

    I have a soft spot for Minerva in my heart, I consider her one of the breakout characters of Masterforce (If not, from the entire Japanese G1 continuity)

    I really love how TFCC Minerva and Legends Nightbeat are both so ridiculously American and ridiculously Japanese respectively

    i found Minerva through the legacy figure, having an affinity for medic bots i immediately wanted to learn more and searched for a basics video of her by you, at the time it didnt exist, but now it does! thank you!

    I was introduced to Minerva through the Masterforce anime itself, actually Masterforce was my first introduction to Transformers in general, and both Masterforce and Victory are my TF childhood, so Minvera has a special place in my heart. Also I sorta had a crush on her when I was small, so there's that.

    Ah Minerva, a personal favorite character of mine. I’ve always loved Medic characters, and her unique history always stuck out to me, both in where she began as a human girl and the first female transforming female toy for the franchise, to a seemingly fan favorite. I remember desperately hunting down her Legacy toy in my local Walgreen’s until having to resort to online sellers to get her. But I’ve always loved her character as a genually kind and gentle character that still wasn’t afraid to fight back when the time came. Here’s hope she gets more appearances in the future, as well as her fellow Headmaster Juniors.

    I'm so gald that you were able to give a bit of love to my favourite transformer Nightbeat. I had him as a toy when I was a kid. I also had Fangry too so an episode on him or featuring him would be amazing too. Thank you Chris

    Man this girl was one of my first fictional crushes, I remember when I start watching Masterforce, she became my favorite character besides Ginrai, and I love her Transformer design, didn't knew was a re-color of another bot, but she defined have become the definitely version of the character.....I hope someday Hasbro officially make her back in the animated shows, not a random cameo but a full flesh out character, and hope she stay in her human form as well, not that weird re-imagine of that comic, her original version......also HASBRO please make a FIGURE of her original Masterforce version not a re color, your losing money not doing that already.

    It might be kind of fun if a Transformers show were to incorporate Minerva either as a sibling or a human partner to Nightbeat. That would be a fun way to play on their original toy connection.

    The first time i ever came across this character was in TFANIMATED, which was also my space bridge(🤭) into everything Transformers
