>>109404045>Can transformers reproduce?Most of the time, Transformers cannot sexually reproduce. There's a few rare continuities where they do, or it's implied they can. In at least one universe, they can asexually reproduce.
>Why else are there male type and female type transformers? Sex wise, aside from what I said above, there aren't.
Genderwise, gender is not a 1:1 ratio to sex. Social evolution can produce all sorts of shit.
>why do they have relationships?Sex is not a requirement for platonic or romantic relationships.
