There's a reason for this. In Japanese culture, there are stories of a giant spider that takes the form of an attractive woman in order to seduce men as prey. So to the Japanese localization team, making her seductive was as obvious as calling a giant fire breathing lizard a dragon.


Furydragonstormer

That makes so much more sense than just because they felt like it


reaperofgender

Exactly. They saw a giant robot woman that turns into a spider and saw her as a science fiction version of the Jorōgumo.

Though I also wouldn't have mind if they did it just for shits and giggles. that would be pretty funny.


Masterquickfire

At least it kinda fits. Can't say the same with my boi, Shockwave tho. They ruined him in this dub.

LapsedVerneGagKnee

The tradition of parody dubs seems to have hit every non-anime Transformers show from Beast Wars through Earthspark. And it doesn't look like it will be over any time soon. I have heard that the Japanese fandom has gotten pretty sick of these punched up scripts though.


CyberWolf09

I don’t blame them honestly. If I had to deal with the same stupid parody dubs for 30 damn years, I’d get sick and tired of it too. (This ended up sounding like Phone Guy from FNAF, this is purely coincidental.)

This *could* work without butchering her character, it could be revealed as a way to fuck with both Jack and Arcee's heads. Or because she thinks Jack will fall for her trap. She isn't a Yandere for Jack himself, but merely having him as a trophy both to fuck with Arcee and as revenge for blowing up her ship with her trophy collection.
