There's no reason that there shouldn't be 'gay' Transformers though. Considering they're robots, they sure seem to have heaps of 'hetero relationships':Originally Posted by 5FDP
Yeah, I am being serious. The fact that anyone would question the sexual orientation of a character from a fictional kids show is just ridiculous. Sunstreaker was no more vein than Tracks... maybe the two were having an off-screen love affair
This is right up there with Humphrey B Bear being banned for not wearing pants and Fat Cat's banning for being gender neutral and supposedly confusing children.
I wonder if the person asking the question was Michael Atkinson. I wouldn't be surprised one bit
Sometimes people forget this is a kids show / brand and that's just plain sad.
Elita-One and Optimus Prime, Elita-One and Sentinel Prime, Chromia and Ironhide, Blackarachnia and Silverbolt, the ironically-named Breastmasters and their WAGs, Skids and Charlene, Powerglide and Astoria, Wreck-Gar and Nancy, Seaspray and Alana, Botanica and Rattrap, Strika and Lugnut, Strika and Obsidian, Arcee and Hot Rod, Arcee and Springer, Arcee and Daniel, Wheelie and Megan Fox's leg (and many more).
And yet the only de-closeted Transformers seem to be the Japanese versions of Airazor and Tigatron, and Tidal Wave being gay for Galvatron in Energon.
It would be more interesting if a voice actor did pull a J.K.Rowling-Dumbledore / George Clooney-Batman and outed their character. Like... I can imagine Scott McNeill doing it: "Oh yeah, Dinobot was totally gay. You didn't get that?"
