 It was believed by many that the character of Override was  originally created male, and then changed to female for the American  dub, to give the show more female characters. (An occasional  occurrence, such as in the original "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers"  series.) This was incorrect, as the character of Override was  created by the American company and intended to be a female, but  shifted to be male in the Japanese version; clues to the characters  original gender include her behavior towards Megatron (blushing and  acting coy).
