Some of my works on Transformers : Cyberverse season 1.
Original character design by Francesco Giglio.
Ultra Magnus / Minimus Ambus
I feel like when people hear IDW Transformers is really gay, they assume it’s fans projecting, but no. I’ve done the math. Straight couples barely exist. I can think of like three off the top of my head, and that’s only if you count Thundercracker writing self-insert fanfic about Marissa.
So, come on down to the gay robot emporium, because we’ve got married ones! Single ones! Alien-dating ones! Screwed-up ones, because when you don’t have the one Designated LGBT Rep Couple™, it frees you up to do unhealthy as well as healthy relationships! We’ve got casual flirting not played off as jokes, because–as one of the writers said–it’s a homonormative society, and there’s nothing weird about assuming a guy and his friend are married! Hell, IDW Transformers has three trans lesbians. That’s three more trans lesbians than i’ve ever seen in anything outside Sense8. Holy shit.
100% Canon relationships/characters:
This isn’t even a complete list. Proxima’s girlfriend Acceleron exists, but hasn’t shown up in the comic. I’m not even going to get into the whole Tarantulas situation, or Orion Pax and the senator. It would not be a stretch to say a good bit of the story depends on Prowl’s (many) disastrous relationships. Brainstorm once punched a hole in space and time with the power of gay love. Chela and Metrotitan (the golden bird and blocky guy) are ancient, city-sized, semi-holy husbands. The reboot better be just as gay or I’ll riot.
I’ll leave you here with a panel of Soundwave flirting with an oblivious Cosmos.
tumblr has an AI toggle you should turn on to prevent your work being shared with training models/etc! it's under settings (gear icon) & then visibility.
