They do in this non-real science fiction. Otherwise, if we're only speaking in completely real world terms, then your talking about Transformers as actual beings (fictional or otherwise) is rendered completely moot since the Transformers as just as nonexistent as any other alien beings.

And because it varies upon the writer, that further emphasizes the diversity that goes into the creation and depiction of each fictional alien species across the mass media, illustrating that not all of them conform to the same biological standards as us humans because not all writers portray all aliens in the same way. As you say, it all depends on the writer, and some writers depict aliens that don't adhere to the biological functions of humans.
shockblast2 wrote:And your comment about sex vs gender, again, does NOT apply to a race of alien robots! Why? because they are alien robots that do not reproduce and both sex and gender are based on the fact that we do have a difference because of reproduction.
Again,
sex is biological, while
gender is cultural.
But if you really want me to go there, then behold! Biological TF reproduction:

Civilians can own weapons, including swords.
