I don't know how popular the other idw hasbro universe titles ended up being with transformers fans, but I'm reading them because I'm a weird completionist who loves shared universes. So I need you to believe me that the GI Joe comic was setting up as a ship Skywarp x Rock n Roll (one of the Joes) before it got cancelled because the author was too progressive (and that same fan reaction might have prevented it from even being made explicit in general, but who knows).
This is simultaneously both hilarious and it would have been very interesting to have them comparing and contrasting their different cultural backgrounds. Character who experienced homophobia talking to a character who experienced a homophobia analog (its been kept vague but there was some kind of stigma about conjunx endurae before Zeta Prime's reforms). Rock n Roll has complex feelings about being a masculine man in the military and metal scene while being gay, Skywarp's society only became gendered a few years ago. Conjunx endura is a private ceremony and not a public legal institution like marriage. Could Skywarp even get actually earth married? Do Cybertronians have legal personhood? Also a prickly asshole like Skywarp realizing he feels affection for a human of all things!
