Humans are nice sometimes

(Excuse the multi-colored format. It helps me not get overwhelmed as well as separate points. Also, working on this has now become a hobby, so expect edits and new things a lot, lol)

One of the main illustrators for IDW Transformers, Alex Milne, made an art book series called "Hot Motor Oil", in which he draws softcore porn of the bots

G1 had 2 episodes dedicated to human/cybertronian pairings bcuz robot-fucking is deeply ingrained in this franchise and fandom

Transformers Prime knows this because they make a joke about June wanting to look good for Optimus

The Transformers being queer isn't a new thing. They've been like this since IDW in 2005 and Energon since 2001

Rodimus Prime, Brainstorm, Perceptor, Ratchet, Prowl, Chromedome, Rewind, Drift, Cyclonus, Tailgate, Blast Off, Crankcase, and Pipes are gay in IDW

Arcee, Lug, Anode, Aileron, Jumpstream, and Dust Up are lesbians in IDW

Windblade and Strongarm are lesbians in Shattered Glass

Skids, Swerve, Roller, and Nickel are bisexual in IDW

Knockout is gay in Transformers Prime and in IDW

Breakdown is either bi or pan in Transformers Prime bcuz he's hinted at being more than just friends with Knockout and also says that he thinks Airachnid is attractive

Mirage is gay in Energon

Cyberverse designers decided to slap the gay pride flag on Hot Rod just because they could. "It might not have been purposful-" there are groups of people who work on designs, so at least ONE of them would've recognized it as the gay pride flag and would've said something. If they didn't want it to be the gay pride flag, they would've changed the colors, especially since the blues and whites clash against Hot Rod's red and orange color schemes. Plus, queer people were working on that show. It was definitely purposeful.

Arcee, Anode, Lug, and Howlback are all transgender in IDW

Airachidis is a trans man

Shredhead is nonbinary

Screwball in Beastwars Uprising uses neopronouns

Acid Storm is gender fluid in Cyberverse

Whirl, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, Springarm, First Aid, Cerebros, Fortress Maximus, Tarantulas, and Swerve are all LGBT (not confirmed which specific sexuality, but they fall under that umbrella)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've seen, most of the canon romantic relationships in the comics are between two characters of the same gender. This is because art is an INCREDIBLY queer space, and if artists are given enough freedom, they WILL make everything gay. (And bcuz for every 12 male Transformer, there is one female-) Also, most of these comics were from 2005, 2008, 20014, and 20019. They've been like this FOREVER

Chromedome and Rewind are in a gay relationship

Chromedome and Prowl are exes

Idk much about it bcuz I haven't reached that part yet, but Tarantulas was weirdly OBSESSED with Prowl and, from the panels I've seen, it looks like the most toxic + dubious + creepy yaoi I have ever seen

Prowl formed a gestalt bond with the Constructicons, who are completely devoted to him, and they act like a polycuel

Drift and Ratchet are in a gay relationship

Blast-Off and Onslaught are in a gay relationship

Rodimus Prime and Drift were confirmed to be "friends with benefits," and Rodimus was jealous when Drift and Ratchet first got together

Greenlight and Lancer are in a lesbian relationship

Cyclonus and Tailgate are in a gay relationship. Whirl is there too, ig

Anode and Lug are in an (absolutely adorable) lesbian and t4t relationship (t4t means both people in the relationship are transgender, if you are the homophobic or transphobic fan this was sent to btw)

Brainstorm was so down-bad for a guy that he invented time travel and almost got everyone killed just to stop his crush from dying (all this for a guy who didn't even like him back, btw 💔💀)

Brainstorm had a crush on Perceptor throughout MTMTE, and the two ended up getting into a relationship

Knockout and Breakdown are in a gay relationship in IDW. You can also argue that they were more than just friends in Prime as well, but nothing has been confirmed

Dust-Up and Jumpstream are in a lesbian relationship

Swerve has a celebrity crush on Blurr

Cerebros, Fortress Maximus, and Red Alert were all confirmed to be in a poly relationship

Windblade and Strongarm are in a lesbian relationship in Shattered Glass

Mirage had an unrequited crush on Galvatron in Energon

The first on-screen mouth-to-mouth kiss in the Transformers franchise was between a transgender lesbian and her girlfriend (Arcee and Aileron)

In IDW, Rung got in trouble for getting with a patient as a doctor, and, at the time, the only known Cybertronians in the comic lore were male, meaning that he is queer, and if Rung is queer, that means PRIMUS HIMSELF is queer

Blackairachnia's design in Beastwars was based off a stripper

Blackairachnia in the WFC trilogy talks about how she thinks Arcee looks cute and also flirts with Airazor

Istg, every version of Blackairachnia and Airachnid I've seen (besdies Airachnid in TFO) had the goal of making them as horny and bisexual as humanly possible

One guy on the Beast Wars animation team became so horny over a bot that he drew him with his spike out

The TFP designers all agreed that Knokout was "the sexiest bot they had ever seen" and then allowed him to try and seduce every damn mech on the show. Did you know the fandom term "interfacing", which refers to robot sex? Yeah, KNOCKOUT is the first one to use the official term to allude to sex activity, which made it canon.

Wheeljack in TFP made a joke about fucking Ultra Magnus's ship (or, since some bots stay in alt mode to help out other bots, straight-up imply that he DID fuck his ship 💀)

Wheeljack in TFP seems like he was written by someone who either really wanted to fuck him or really wanted to have him fuck Ratchet and/or Bulkhead

James Robert, an author for IDW, wrote a 300 paged fanfiction of Soundwave getting pregnant

Mae Catt, a queer person who goes by she/her and they/them, wrote scripts for Cyberverse and Earthspark. She also referred to themselves as "THE GAY AGENDA" when describing their goals for Earthspark

Mae Catt kept saying Dead End x Perceptor ship bait during streams

Mae Catt said that she ships MegaOp

Travis Artz, the voice of Hot Rod in Transformers Cyberverse, ships Hot Rod and Soundwave (then again, who on that show didn't???)

Brian Tyree Henry, the voice of D-16/Megatron in Transformers One, talked about how hot he thought Megatron looked

When asked in an interview why Megatron's name was D-16, Brian Tyree Henry made a joke saying that there's a G-rated reason and an M-rated reason (implying that Megatron's dick is 16 inches)

John Cena said that he thought both Blackairachnia and Tarantulas were hot

There are two jokes about Mirage in ROTB describing sex-acts with Noah ("Work friends?! You've been inside me!" "Just don't ask what part of my body it came from...")

They had Chop Shop hump Elita's leg in Cyberworld (for some reason????)

Scorponok got pregnant bcuz male pregnancy is a staple of fandom, I guess

Rachel Stevens is a transgender lesbian who worked on the Lost Light comics as a consultant. She also contributes to the wiki a lot under the username "antimatter" :)

Evan Micheal Lee, the voice of Jazz in Transformers One, is a gay man

Sue Blu is a lesbian and voices Arcee, Marissa Faireborn, and Beta in g1, Arcee and Flareup in animated, and Transmute in Beast Wars. She was also a voice director in Transformers Prime (this woman is so iconic I love her sm)

Parvesh Cheena, the voice of Blades in Transformers Rescue Bots, is a gay man

Tiana Camacho, the voice of Frenzy in Transformers Earthspark, goes by she/they pronouns

In Transformers Rescue Bots, Chase has to explain the concept of male and female to Blurr and Salvage, showing that gender is a choice for them and not defined by any sense of biological sex

In Transformers Rescue Bots, Blades is shown to happily cross-dress when he switches bodies with Dani

In Transformers Prime, Arcee makes a joke about Wheeljack being Bulkhead's boyfriend, to which Bulkhead just laughs and doesn't deny anything, which leaves them being in a relationship open to interpretation

In Transformers Prime, Wheeljack flirts with Ratchet and calls him "Sunshine"

In Transformers Rescue Bots, Blades is implied to have a bit (a lot) of a celebrity crush on Bumblebee; wanting to impress him, hugging him a lot, getting flustered around him, checking him out, and making his own goddamn team name, which is also happens to be their ship name. Bumblebee is pretty receptive towards it and even uses their ship name as well

Back to Cybetronians X Humans: When talking about Energon Eaters, Blades says that Energon Eaters are scarier than vampires because "They don't brood handsomely", which implies that he finds human men attractive

In Transformers Prime, Knockout says that he admires Starscream's finish (basically calling him attractive), but says that "He's no Breakdown."

In Transformer Prime, Knockout's first introduction to Team Prime was him cat-calling Optimus and complimenting him by saying he was "heavy duty" and then also calling Breakdown heavy duty. Not only was he calling Optimus hot, he also said that Breakdown was hot in the same damn breath

In Transformers Earthspark, one of the first things Hashtag did when she was born was think about yuri between her and Skywarp
