Since Cybertronians are a [[Purely Aesthetic Gender|gender neutral species]] with [[Most Writers Are Male|a suspiciously large percentage of characters considered male]], [[Ho Yay]] and [[Foe Yay]] collapse into themselves in an explosion of pink energon, purple [[Big Bad|Big Bads]], and --cough-- ''brotherhood.''

** "Why? That's what they all asked me. Why him... why Starscream? Why, of all the Decepticons, did I decide to revitalize the one whose record of deceit and betrayal is legend? Because I'm an idiot, that's why!"
* Beast Wars II: Starscream's bordering on [[Camp Gay]], but sadly, he'd rather backstab his teammates than Galvatron. Of course, you ''could'' say he's trying to work his way up to get closer to the one he loves...
* Unicron Trilogy: Care to guess where the top quote comes from? In this one, Starscream is still a whiny nuisance, but he gets <s> jealous of Megatron paying attention to the others</s> sick of sucking up to Megatron for scraps and defects to the Autobots in ''Armada'' (Megatron ''will miss him when he's gone!''). Megatron is offended by Starscream's audacity. So when Starscream returns in ''Energon'' without his memories, Megatron... helps. While [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Megatron is penetrating Starscream's body with a large object]] as the below dialogue plays, having started with this page's quote. At the end, Demolishor, watching the whole thing, says, "Whew! That looked like it hurt!" I'll be in my bunk.

Line 149:
*** Simmons and Leo have become a popular pairing of late.
* There's also Wasp's obsession with Bumblebee. His planned revenge on the little bug is {{spoiler|not only dressing Bumblebee up as himself in order to make Bumblebee suffer through the same persecution and ruined life as he did, but turning ''himself'' into ''Bumblebee''.}}
* With the page image, notice the kids at the bottom holding hands. They're Cain (the one with the green hair) and Akira (brown hair) from ''[[Transformers Zone]]'', and are both quite male, and Akira doesn't usually look this feminine, and ''neither'' probably look as girly to the 1989 Japan as to us (especially the "hotpants," once standard 80s shorts length, and Cain's hair - it's [[Anime Hair|anime]], it's [[Eighties Hair|'89]], 'nuff said.) ''Literally all'' toy-company-produced promotional materials have them touching, and in the OVA, they're very [[Ho Yay]]-tastic, with Akira practically landing in Cain's lap at one point, and both looking at each other, seeing how close they are, blushing, and... not moving away. In the end credits, there's more hand-holding. The only reason the idea that this could be unintended subtext and not an [[Official Couple]] stands up at ''all'' is the fact that it's ''[[Transformers]],'' and [[Merchandise
** Makes you wonder how slashy the subtext would have been if ''Zone'' had been picked up as a full series.
*** There was no sub in that text. At the rate they were going, the wedding would've been by episode ten. (And probably crashed by Decepticons.)
Line 162:
*** Definitely not Tracks/Raoul. Think about it. In both of Tracks' feature episodes ("Make Tracks" and "Auto-Bop"), Raoul is very heavily featured. In the former episode, when Raoul is captured by Megatron, Tracks personally threatens the ''leader of the Decepticon military.'' In both episodes, Raoul risks life and limb to save or otherwise help Tracks. The icing on the Ho Yay cake? Picture all of Tracks and Raoul's scenes playing out between a man and a woman. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|The Ho Yay practically jumps up and kisses you on the mouth.]]
** There's still no explanation for [[Ships That Pass in The Night|Beachcomber/Cosmos]] though. Not that I'm complaining.
* Thanks to [[Transformers Animated|animated]], [[Super Speed|Blurr]] and Longarm{{spoiler|/Shockwave}} has become a popular pairing. Even though this Troper ''is'' a fan of it, she still doesn't understand why, seeing how {{spoiler|Blurr's [[Family
** Blurr and Bumblebee, on the other hand, make for good rivalshipping.
* Optimus/Sentinel anyone? Optimus has always gone above and beyond to help his former Academy-mate, even when Sentinel clearly deserved whatever sticky situation he got himself into! There were even several instances where Optimus clearly cared more about protecting Sentinel than Elita/ {{spoiler|Blackarachnia}} who was arguably the more logical love-interest for Optimus!
