April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberTo answer this, simply say "Why not?!" As a Robot having forms that allow better interaction between human and mechanoid such as a fox, Emotive Grasshopper (I am referencing Short Circuit 's Johnny 5, his little tracking logo the radars showed in the first movie always made me think Grasshopper for some reason, also a Grasshopper is how he became aware of being alive) humanoid or anything other than a tube that talks when you call it's name there should be no limit to form.
Sheesh it is dumb questions like this that made me not enjoy Transformers Animated as much as the others, great show don't get the wrong idea. But bits not having the choice of their name, their form factor determines their typical duty, and thinking more mechanically is not how sentient beings act even if they get have microchips instead of Neurons and nerves for their brains.
Also Sentinel can slay himself, Optimus should be Magnus and Sentinel forever Minor, for someone Spark sake!
