View Full Version : ROTF and Sexuality

Did someone already revive the debate on the sexual aspects of TFs again because of DEV's testicular mass?

Well as it turns out, TFs and sexuality do go hand in hand despite any protests. Which means TFs can have kids. Or make us puke just thinking about it. Here is the proof:

Who said that's what its purpose was? Most likely they're vestigial since there is no proof at all that Transformers reproduce through sexual reproduction. It's just people's minds in the gutter that link the "organ" to sex instead of a possible other function (ie energon storage) or that fact that it may just be useless (ie what's the point in spikes? why can't they be round? does their location on the robot's anatomy make a difference?). Problem is people view Transformers in a far to anthropomorphic way, which is understandable considering the overall similarity to our physiology, but as such people feel the need to link reproductive organs to them....but who's to say IF they had them, they would be in the same location as ours?

Food for thought folks. Think outside the box instead of the box if ya get my drift.

OMG..... Robots don't Reproduce. he had balls cause it was a joke. they can have "mates" but not reproduce.

IF dev's balls joke was to suggest that he has genitals... who's the mother of the hundreds of decepticons in stasis or "being born" in the decepticons base? there obviously is no womb, and no female decepticons that we have seen. If anything, you take a piece of spark from a mother and father and create the new one. those bodies are living technology, so it starts off as a small bot, and advances to a larger one.

They're just a pair of wrecking balls that wind up in a slightly suggestive place due to the nature of his tranformation. Hell if that obsessive git Simmons hadn't mentioned anything people would have probably missed them entirely. (Except those with naughty minds. And despite our best efforts we can not control that.)

This is fiction, fiction aimed at humans, so a caca-pee joke here in there is not uncommon. Just cause Rattrap kicked Waspinator in the "genital region" does not MEAN Waspitnator has 2 moon bases and an Erector.

I agree with you.Though it's interesting to know about the reproductive differences and similarities in Transformers fiction,it's still fiction,and getting back to a debate such is quite a waste of time.So I'll sit back and read what every has to say.

The closest analogous species that reproduce similar to transformers would be plants, hydras, and sponges as they produce through budding (not to be mistaken for binary fission where at the end both organisms are the same size). In the Marvel comics the original 13 were shown to "bud" from Cybertron, AKA Primus and there in lies the only biological comparison.

In the movie verse the original 13 and Cybertron were originally organic. The Allspark turned them mechanical and was able to create life (as seen in movie 1) so with that in mind there is no need at all for Transformers in the movie verse to reproduce, making any suggestion that they do, pointless. To further support this Optimus said with the Allspark destroyed there is no way to create more Cybertronians and they were the last of their kind (them all other Cybertronians in space).

Ah, so much slash, so little time.:p

You know ROTF has me question Michael Bay's sexuality. He puts giant wrecking balls on Devastator and a huge dick on a blender. Me thinks he's in closet much?

Also Wheelie was not humping Mikaela's leg. He was giving her hugs. He just was confused on how to do it. Remember, the Transformers learned Earth's languages through the world wide web. There's no knowing what else they learned on there.;)

BW Cheetor was a kid in season 1, bit older as TM1 upgrade and a teenager with a 'tude as TM2 then in BM he's an adult. There is your "stages" for their growth cycle. It doesn't mean they were born like biological lifeforms, but they advance and grow in a different way.
It does not mean they reproduce.

I'll second this, and add, all characters in fiction are reflections of humanity. Hence in stories non-humans, can, and do, take on human traits including sexuality, even if it doesn't make sense. If you have human shaped robots that have emotions, etc, the associate connections in ideas will lead down this path, but it doesn't have to go beyond the superficial.

I mean come on, when you see the pic below, it's really just a giant waist cannon but I know we all see somthing else.

Scattershot, he's the bot. King Kong got nothing on him. :D I want to see an epic stand off between Computron with this transformation and Devastator, bot to bot, head to head.....haahha.

As to the weird logic of "well if there is no depiction of Transformer sexual activity that mimics human sexual mating ritutals, then there must not be any" then call I say is: HA HA

See? Even the ex-presidents laugh too

Perhaps a better logical ending would be:
since there is no evidence to support either idea then we CANNOT RULE OUT the non-existence or EXISTENCE of such naughty behavior.

But until then, sex in any form is bad I suppose especially for TFs

...What the hell do laughing ex-presidents have anything to do with this!? You can throw out your belief that they mate because of the proof I gave before! In the movie verse, Transformers are created through the Allspark, there is no other way, they said so in the film, thus they don't mate.

How is this so difficult to comprehend or understand? The only explanation would be you want them to mate and hey, whatever makes ya happy but there's fact and there's opinion. In your opinion the movie verse Transformers "may" mate, for a fact they don't for the reasons as stated before. Otherwise wouldn't they just mate to repopulate? Ah right....they can't....

1.Transformers don't have sex.

Now that that's out of the way, here are some more thoughts:

2. Is it possible they could do something similar to sex? I am specifically referring to the ending of Beast Machines only. If they eventually become technorganic, could they do the do?

3. I want to see Arcee naked. I am not sure what that means exactly, but I still want to see it.

4. If Transformers did, for example, have penis' (peni?) wouldn't it be cool if they made the transforming sound when they got erect?

This topic will come up again and again, over and over. There will be no end to it.

Yes, they are aliens. Yes, they are robots. They will be able to do things beyond our understanding and comprehension.

The only reason they look humanoid is because they are fictional characters that need to be anthropomorphized so that we will feel empathy towards them.

Its because of that anthropomorphizing, that these topics come up.

Let us step to the side and take another example of another fictional set of aliens from a recent movie. The Na'vi.

Recently, JC was asked why the Na'vi females have breasts, despite the fact that they aren't from Earth and are not mammals.

His response was that they were there because it was a movie made by human beings for human beings.


Devastator had those wrecking balls in that location because human beings made the movie, and thought that other human beings would find it amusing. The same with Wheelie humping, and a number of other things.

Its the reason that G1 Cybertronian beings look so much like humans, down to having 5 fingers, similar proportions, and a head with a face that looks very similar. We couldn't find an emotional link towards some group of amorphous electrical blobs in the same way that we can empathize with human looking characters.

R2-D2 is a very strange exception to this, but that is more than likely the audience picking up on how the other characters in the film empathize and react to R2.

Now onto the dirty deed. Because we've anthropomorphized these electro-mechanical aliens so much, it is only natural for the audience to go full out and think "they're just like us". That includes reproduction methods.

But we then take a step back and look at the whole thing with skepticism, for different reasons. Some because they are aliens and there's no reason for them to reproduce the same way, since even on Earth there's tons of different methods.

Some, because they aren't carbon based biological organic beings. Since we haven't contacted anything like that, we have no idea what that would mean for reproduction, if there was any sort of reproduction. Construction seems more likely, since that is more familiar to us, the audience in relating to machines.

There is also the mystical aspect of Cybertronians in relation to Primus and the Allspark and the plasma energy chamber and all that.

The only thing we can really rely on until we are told something official is what we've been told in the past through the Sunbow G1 cartoon, Marvel G1 Comics, and any other sources. Some of these conflict with each other, adding to the confusion.

Until everything is cleared up, each member of the audience is going to jump to their own conclusion on how Cybertronians reproduce.

But that's all reproduction, and it doesn't necessarily link directly to the act of sex. It is possible that Cybertronians have an act between two or more individuals that results in a pleasureable experience that often stems from romantic involvement. I mean they do have two genders, even if at the very core that's simply superficial.

Take the robots on Futurama as an example. They are all built in factories (that doesn't rule out that robots could be made by other robots elsewhere) but they do have acts that would be analogous to sex. They have robot strip clubs and brothels, and even a robot hell for those that have overindulged in such "sins of the flesh". These robot sex acts on Futurama have absolutely nothing to do with reproduction or mating, but still, there they are for comedic purposes. They are a tool used to anthropomorphize the robots on that show so we can better empathize with them, and so that it can be exploited for story and comedy purposes.

I'm not looking for an answer on the whole Cybertronian reproduction and sex issues, and I'm not overly concerned with those answer. Well, unless those topics are presented in a way that really ruins a movie or show.

edit:

Cybertronians do have the ability and emotions for romance. We've seen that time and time again. That right there might be adding fuel to the fire of Cybertronian sex, but really it doesn't prove anything either way. Romance is a tool for conveying a story and getting the audience involved emotionally.

This isn't saying that there is a Cybertronian act of sex, it just means that there's the potential for story reasons. Or it can just as likely be ruled out completely for story reasons too.

But that's all reproduction, and it doesn't necessarily link directly to the act of sex. It is possible that Cybertronians have an act between two or more individuals that results in a pleasureable experience that often stems from romantic involvement. I mean they do have two genders, even if at the very core that's simply superficial.

Take the robots on Futurama as an example. They are all built in factories (that doesn't rule out that robots could be made by other robots elsewhere) but they do have acts that would be analogous to sex. They have robot strip clubs and brothels, and even a robot hell for those that have overindulged in such "sins of the flesh". These robot sex acts on Futurama have absolutely nothing to do with reproduction or mating, but still, there they are for comedic purposes. They are a tool used to anthropomorphize the robots on that show so we can better empathize with them, and so that it can be exploited for story and comedy purposes.


I'm not looking for an answer on the whole Cybertronian reproduction and sex issues, and I'm not overly concerned with those answer. Well, unless those topics are presented in a way that really ruins a movie or show.

I agree with this completely.Talking about the aspects of reproduction in TF fiction is somewhat beyond human perception,and many of us are prone to think they're similar in some ways because of their designs and functions.Though some aspects of humanism in Transformers are established so we can have some sort of grasp on what they are,it's disappointing that other aspects to distinguish themselves from ourselves are either misguided by idiots or hardly explored further in fiction.

Either way,this Thread is starting to get a little out of control.

Then why did you make this Thread if it's stupid in the first place?If it's for attention,then it's quite pathetic.

Yes, often this sort of thing does get out of control.

Its a difficult topic to talk about seriously.

I've had experience in the past with a MegaMan X rpg a number of years ago where we had to really pin down this sort of thing when the reploids became upgraded into almost biological machines (think skinbags from the new BSG, but much more mechanical).

For story purposes it was already decided long ago that the reploids would start reproducing (confusing the hell out of all characters),and that the act of mating would just pretty much be modelled after the human method (for simplicity's sake more than anything). But we had to actually sit down and come up with what was plausible within the game, and what made sense to us the players of how everything happened.

What we didn't want it to devolve into was a bunch of snide comments and nerds sitting around in a circle obsessing about robot porn. We were actually trying to get stuff done and lay the foundation for things to progress within the game and storyline.

It probably helped that we did have male and female players adding to the discussion, and that IRC has a ban function so we could kick out the immature people who were hindering progress at least until decisions were finalized.

You know what? We should have a panel on Transformers sex at TFCon! Daniel could do it. I'm sure he's read his fair share of slash fics. :p Especially the ones with Hot Rod in them. I mean the guy's name is "Hot Rod". That's a double entendre if I ever heard one. He must be in tons of slash. Hot Rod x Arcee. Hot Rod x Ultra Magnus. Hot Rod x Kup. Hot Rod x Kup & Blurr. Rodimus Prime x Optimus Prime. Hot Rod x Tracks... He's probably only second to Starscream in TF whoring. Hehe!

BTW, I was joking. But that would be a pretty funny panel. I'd sit in on if it happened.:)

Just wanted to add 1 thing cause the na'vi were mentioned. There is a book out something like the complete guide to avatar or something. I have it but not right here so can't tell you exactly but it covers everything about the fiction and world etc of the planet pandora it's plants and animals etc etc. Everything you would want to know about all that if you liked it. But the na'vi reproduce like humans. Though they can be intimate on a far deeper level kinda thing. I assume with linking their braids things. But they have sex and reproduce like humans and their breasts are for feeding their young like us. 1 difference Though is they only have 3 fingers unlike our 4. It's a very interesting book.

But ya that was prob alot of info that no one cares about lol

Actually, I thought o a logical reason for those.

Devastator's hip joints(where long haul and rampage attach) could be a bit weak, so if he did not walk on all fours, he would topple over because the weight balance would be unequal. With those giant weights to level out the hip joints, he is able to move around.

Either way,this Thread is starting to get a little out of control.

Ya know, I hear people using a similar out of control alarm as just another excuse to get a police state in place. Because the last thing we need is things getting out of control.

Lack of control is bad for business. And we all KNOW that police must always protect business

For those that need the dots connected, WHAT DOES A POLICE STATE HAVE TO DO WITH TRANSFORMERS? well...
