There was no intentional transgender subtext but that doesn't mean the subtext isn't there. Art is open to the audience's interpretation. I'm pleased that Jenny's struggles resonate with some members of the transgender community.
@RobRenzetti
Hey, a lot of people need to know, was this intended to reference the Transgender Pride Flag? Were the themes of the show intended to be a parallel to transgender experiences?

The first season models are done early, before anyone's had a real chance to draw the characters. As everyone gets more practice, you discover deviations from the model that you like. The pause between seasons is your chance to officially implement those changes.
@RobRenzetti
Wasn't really a serious question there, but thank you for answering anyway!!
Here's a more serious question; what were the reasons behind the design changes between SI and SII? Streamlining the animation process, solidifying the style, etc.?

The toy biz was (still is?) super segregated by gender. There are toys for boys and toys for girls and never the two shall meet.
@RobRenzetti
Which btw I always wondered, was there ever a deal or chance of an offer for Mlaatr to get official toys made? Or was no opportunity came up? I imagine there would be a some neat toy ideas that utilized some of Jenny's ability as a toy, but hopefully not like in that one episode.

1000% agree. “CalArts style” as a term of derision goes all the way back to the early 90’s and was leveled against many of the shows I was involved in. It has been used against so many shows with such a wide range of design that it really means nothing more than “I don’t like it”

There were TWO made with the hot rod design. Alex has one. I have the other.
When MLAATR was ending its production Alex Kirwan made a couple of Jenny sculptures with help from the company Pretty In Plastic
