So we are talking about alien humanoid robots with no genders that humans can understand. It boils down to preference. Look at it this way...Blaster and Jazz in G1 loved rock music, the other's not so much. These bots conceivably can customize everything about themselves (color, shape, etc). They are the very definition of fluidic forms. Although it makes no sense to HAVE a gender as they don't have biology AT ALL, they could choose something they identified with.
My issue with "they" isn't in regard to gender fluidity. It offends my grammar sensibilities. "They", as defined in Webster's Dictionary for several hundred years, is PLURAL. PLURAL DAMNIT! You shouldn't be able to refer to a single person or object in the plural. #WordCrimes
