Short three panel strip in each issue (bottom of letters page), similar in vein to the old "Robo-Capers" that appeared in the Marvel UK TF comics.
Completely separate and not aligned with the rest of the book. Just a short little funny comic.

yes, I would like this as well, or alternatively have funny little outtakes of how key scenes might be messed up as if it was a shoot for a movie or tv show. Something light though wouldn't go amiss

Moonshot & Snavej,
Since you both seem to be little confused, I just wanted to point a few things out:
1. It's generally considered transphobic harassment to refer to trans women as "cross-dressers" or "men in dresses."
2. Yes, there are cisgender men (heterosexual and otherwise) that do cross-dress/perform in drag.
3. Because of my first point, it's usually more polite to assume that someone is a trans woman, if you are unsure if they are a trans woman or cis man in drag.
4. Generally, only binary women (both cis women and trans women) identify as lesbians. I'm not aware of any cis men who identify as lesbians in a context other than poor taste.
5. I'm not particularly up on my Bible, so I'm not actually sure if Jesus was a cross-dresser or not.
6. Just in case there is some ambiguity here, trans women *ARE* women.

Okay, but I think that's the point a lot of us have been making for 30 years. Originally in G1, all the characters were coded male (and females were added by 1985). But, more importantly, as soon as the first Transformer called another "he" they were gendered.
Conversely, take a look at the flip side of this: Steven Universe. In that show, all the inorganic aliens (the Gems) are coded female and call each other she. But I don't think I've seen ANYONE call the Gems "genderless."
Food for thought.

Well, when I say "gender", I mean the 2 that, when they entangle, produce offspring. Cybertronians do not reproduce sexually, and, as such, do not have true genders, regardless of pronouns.
Steven Universe is a whole other damn can of worms I do not wish to get near.

It seems to me that you are conflating sex and gender, which are two distinct phenomena.
If you're interested, this is a pretty straightforward discussion of the two: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/232363.php

We are not going there. I was talking about Cybertronian biology, not human, which are two distinct phenomena. So what I said is still legitimate in context.

But your primary point was *literally* that Cybertronians don't sexually reproduce. The only context we have as a species for intelligent life that reproduces through sexual differentiation *ARE* humans.
For all we know, the galaxy may be full of species of two or more distinct genders that don't reproduce sexually at all.
I'm not even sure I can think of one other example of a fictional, extraterrestrial species that is patterned male and doesn't reproduce sexually where a handful of men in its fandom *insists* they are genderless.

Well, Transformers is somewhat of an anomaly in it's lore. My point was that *I*, me specifically, see no real evidence of sexes in Transformers in the way that *I* define sexes, which, once again, is the necessary sexes required for reproduction. No sex, no sexes, no sexuality. And the point I originally made was that Cybertronians having labels as "gay" or "straight" doesn't make any God damn sense.

Well, my friend, you have been fighting a losing battle against canon since November 12, 1985.
But I appreciate your tenacity?

Which is how it should be in real life but we haven't natured enough to be able to do that, if and when single sex relationships are more common and treat the same as straight couples, then we can drop the labels on all.
And I don't appreciate your condescension. Just because you don't agree with others' view, you shouldn't simply dismiss them like they don't matter, especially when they make good points.
