The triceratons

Okay, we've seen tons of aliens in the show, and there is always females among them. We've seen the kraang, and even though there was some confusion about their gender, we later found out that there are indeed females like Queen, and the original Irma. Since Prime took over the utroms' minds, that could be the reason why they all sound so similar. Same with the salamandrians, they have females. So, has anyone questioned why there aren't any female triceratons in the empire? Speculations maybe?

Because females aren't soldiers.

That is the thing, where are they? Did they get wiped out by the kraang or something? I figured we'd See one by now in the empire since they don't even have a home planet anymore. At least one, assisting the battles in the tri-arena.

There's at least one, in the Half Shell Heroes special feature.

Triceratons have always been straight up monsters, for all we know, despite voices & appearances, half of them could very well be female after all.

The female ones must be in their home base taking care of the baby triceratons who will soon grow up to f*cking ravage the galaxy and end worlds...

What a bright future!

I honestly don't count Half-Shell Heroes as being canon to the Nickelodeon universe. It's like Teen Titans Go! personally; that doesn't mean I hated it, I really liked it. However, both this and Go! are one and the same: they might have the characters of their respective series with the original voice actors, but are largely spin off material. Yes, it's the first time (to my knowledge currently) there's a female Triceraton, but in terms of what OP is asking, not directly in the Nick verse.

As for why, I doubt it's because of empowerment (Cube, do some research, women can be soldiers.). Unsure, but maybe it's just the norm and isn't something worth attempting. I'd personally be interested in a female Triceraton appearing in a cartoon (not the special) or comic, but I guess for now it's not the time.

For all we know, there's been female Triceraton among their ranks. Not every female character needs to be "girl coded" with long hair, long eye lashes or boobs. Being a reptillian-like race there can at least be a bit more originality then that stupid tacked-on stuff.
