>>3904866Yeah, especially with all the mind hacking and brainwashing happening in IDW. I guess it's just harder to write and fap to so most settle with physical sex that is easier to describe and visualize.
In general I would say that the robot/sci-fi aspect is criminally under-used, especially in the cartoons. Cyberverse had the cool timeloop mindfuckery at least, but most shows seem to limit the fantastic part to magical gimmicks and mcguffins, despite that you could do so much crazy shit with sentient space robots.
The TF would is a huge sandbox for fans with massive potential. I think this is one of the reasons for why it has so many fans that get inspired to create fanart and fics.
