Eeehhh... I've personally never seen the relationship between Cindy and Ultra Magnus to be a romantic one - more like really good friends - ditto Carissa and Skullgrin. Astoria-Powerglide and Charlene-Skids was different in that there seemed to be a more emotionally intimate bond between those couples. But is it love?
With Powerglide and Astoria I would say that it was love because they care very deeply for each other unconditionally... to the point that they were both willing to sacrifice their lives to protect one another. Charlene and Skids had a strong attraction between them based on deep caring for one another (similar to the romance between Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala in The Phantom Menace). Skids' dream where he sacrifices himself to protect Charlene demonstrates a deep sense of affection/love for Charlene. Although Skids and Charlene did break up in the end, I think that there was a noteable level of romance between them when they were together.
None that come to mind. The only romances in Japanese G1 I can think of are:Originally Posted by Sky Shadow
1/ Minerva and Cancer - an unspoken attraction, but it's between two humans.
2/ The Victory Decepticons and their wives and children. But this is of course between Decepticons, so again, not inter-species.
And scratch Marissa and KISS Play Convoy - or KISS Play period. The KISS Play girls don't appear to have any strong romantic emotional bonds with Transformers, but are required to kiss them as a plot device. Yeah, it's weird.
