1. Greencee(Greenlight/Arcee)

Canon ship(a couple raising a daughter together), but it gets so little attention. Like genuinely only 35 fics on ao3 are tagged as this and a good bit aren't even about the ship! Too bad for me then that this is my comfort ship.

2. Light/Star(Lightbright/Lodestar)

Lightbright and Lodestar have a really good dynamic of cityspeaker and titan(the last titan alive later in the continuity). I really like how this ship lets you explore the relationship between a cityspeaker and their titan, and boy are they a treat to see when reading through idw2. You can see both a queerplatonic and romantic angle with this, but I lean more romantic. Oh and they have like 4 fics on ao3 about them and I wrote 3 of them.

3. Nautirage(Nautica/Road Rage)

This is the one ship that I am very normal about(by that I mean I'm not at all normal about this ship. I am totally obsessed). Again, idw2, less attention than other transformers continuities, and Nautica has far more popular ships like with Skids. What I love about this ship is that it's one-sided. Nautica in idw2 is shown to be uninterested in romance(she's more interested in researching other alien species) and her bodyguard Road Rage has a crush on her. And throughout idw2 it never really gets resolved because the comic ended prematurely. And with this ship I can see it go a few different ways. Either Nautica outright rejects Road Rage where Road Rage has to try to move on, Nautica realizes she does have some feelings for Road Rage(supported by a few panels and lines of dialogues showing she does care for Road Rage)(this is also the vanilla romance direction and imo the worst/least likely of the bunch), or the two have end up sharing a very close queerplatonic bond where they're kinda inseparable, and while Nautica isn't romantically interested, she still feels a deep connection with Road Rage and Road Rage doesn't mind that Nautica doesn't love her in a romantic sense as long as she's still with Nautica and she can keep her safe. l am very normal about this ship. Can you tell I'm very normal about this ship?

4. Trickdomeda(Trickdiamond/Andromeda)

This is one you can truly call a rarepair because there's like one fic of them on ao3 and it's by me. Trickdiamond is a hustler, someone who's got her eyes set on the profits and she's gonna throw some people under the bus for it. And Andromeda is a character I enjoy a lot because of her role as an unreliable news reporter whose content serves to sew distrust between the government and the people, intentional or not. And I do think she played a part in the fall of the Autobot senate. And I really just think these two should be toxic together. Say they used to lice together and they used to be a couple. Then some falling out happened and they broke up. But they keep coming back to each other whenever one of them's feeling down(usually it's Andromeda). Trickdiamond's bitter about how Andromeda only comes to her when she's feeling depressed and she lashes out(verbally) and that ends up driving Andromeda away again but then Andromeda reframes it as well-deserved criticism and comes back to Trickdiamond when she feels like she could use some of that, to maybe better herself. And it goes in a circle basically.
