"Come on, who HASN'T done this in at least one Disgaea game!?" Done what?
Anyone else feel uncomfortable making Gaddafi's bodyguards the picture for this page? Now that we have reports from many of the women that they were blackmailed into becoming bodyguards, raped by Gaddafi, then "passed on" to his generals and sons for more rape and abuse until the men were "bored" with them, I find making them the poster for "Bodyguard Babes" very distasteful.

Has anyone happened to come across what happened to the Libyan Bodyguard Babes during the recent troubles?

This is a highly dubious trope, as it seems many of the examples are just bodyguards/troops who happen to be comprised of females, and not only "the most elite."

So what if a hero(ine)/protagonist or someone on the side of good has "bodyguard babes"? Do they still count as Bodyguard Babes?
The trope name sounds too neutral to be a villain-only trope, either way.

This is a hero-only trope. The villain equivalent is Amazon Brigade.
Which makes it kind of weird that there's hardly any hero-examples listed. Failed trope?

So... is the point that they're female or that they're hot? If a male-inclined character had a bunch of Walking Shirtless Scene pretty guys as their bodyguards, would it still be this?
If the point is just that they're female, it shouldn't really be called "babes"...
I made this Idolized Julius Kingsley icon back when Akito first came out, and now that the crossover is actually happening, I don't care.
