I feel like we have moved from rock opera to soap opera.
Maybe it's just me.
Or in the spirit of what I'm saying, "It isn't you, it's me."
It's not just you.
It's especially grating if you don't buy into the romance angle that season 2 seems to be actively courting.
Then again, I REALLY don't like Tailgate's capering for attention post-Dark Cybertron, so most of the storylines involving him feel forced, if only to appeal to the "OMG so cute" fans.
I certainly think it's hard when all that's in the preview is this and no hints towards other goodness. I'm a bit over the relationship thing, prefer to see more familial relationships explored like spark brothers, split sparks, shared sparks, etc. it does at times feel a little over the top and In our face. I too have been enjoying the main Transformers series more lately... The art has been better, the themes have been far reaching, and the character development is less focused on finding your conjux.
Still reading, and enjoying parts of it, but grimacing and feeling somewhat uncomfortable when scenes like this pop up.
How does Getaway drink? I know his faceplate probably goes away, but he's drinking and talking, nursing his drink, and his faceplate is closed.... Anyway...
He might drink like Brainstorm, through a hole in his arm. It might be a common thing for faceplate wearers.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

The Springer and Arcee thing in '86 wasn't very interesting. The Hot Rod/Arcee/Springer love triangle in DW would have been interesting had DW survived. But it would have been less interesting if there was another love triangle going on with another group of Transformers in the same book! This is what is going on in IDW. Several Transformers are hooking up and it's turning MTMTE into a Slash piece that overshadows everything else that's going on in the book!
This is what happens when authors are allowed to deviate too far from the source material.

In the comic, they canonically they had no gender. I know people didn't that storyline, but Arcee was an experiment in adding that concept into their species (which in my opinion was Furman over thinking it). The reason we say 'He' or 'She' regarding robots, is cos we're humans that need a familiar word to give to our fictional characters/cars/boats/guns. It's either that or call them 'it'.
There's nothing wrong with having boy/girl looking mechanoids in fiction. Other franchises do and just get on with it. I just think it's really funny that there are people upset/super excited about the 'gay transformers', that canon wise have neither gender or sexual orientation.
Aide from all that though, there's still no excuse for 'shipping. That's what Deviantart's for
