6:21 I agree, Knock Out was a great stand out character in TFP. Also since he was a favourite among fans if I was one of the writers for Robots in disguise 2015 (the sequel series), I would include Knock Out in the series which could act has his redemption series after defecting from the Decepticons and joining the Autobots and have him take Sideswipe’s place on Bumblebee’s team. And also I would make him have a friendship with the human character Russell Clay similar to Starscream's and Kendrick's friendship on Transformers Armada.

So why couldn't the Prime show actually well show their relationship but the comics could? Why did they have to imply it? Did they ever say why they had to imply it? I'm only asking cause I'm curious and I haven't heard anything about them having to just imply it in the show for any reason. I mean I guess it was the 2000s so they were still iffy about that sort of thing and it was a kids show and I don't think they could really show "same sex" relationships. Steven Universe came along and changed it tho Steven Universe came out 3 years after Prime, which was made in 2010.

[@otakumangastudios3617]

I’m sincerely curious, what makes him at all resemble queer people for being a male character that is extremely vain in his luxe? You know that is based off of originally a homophobic stereotype, right? That’s why it always kind of alarms me when people see him as a queer coded character, because isn’t that technically speaking perpetuating homophobic stereotypes? I don’t know a singular gay person that by any means fits into the stereotype, except for you know, certain celebrities … heck I don’t think I know of any gay men that are flamboyant by any means, vain or care more than an average person would for their appearances. I think the only reason why he’s like that is because he becomes a fun entertaining character, that’s it. I just find it odd and unfortunate people find consolidation and reaffirmation of their queerness by setting a stereotyping Image of gay men?? I don’t know just seems odd to me. When do you want to look for gay representation in a character that is you know, explicitly gay? FYI it is in fact canon that the entirety of Cybertronians are asexual or a romantic, nothing else. They don’t have sexual parts to begin with, which while it is often to pay it upon what the definition of gender is, usually the concept of boy and girl originally came from the biological parts and then the cultural concepts of what all that meant personality was ensued later. In other words, a species that has never sexually reproduced and so therefore wouldn’t have any innate differences to actually face all that upon, technically speaking their a gender but the only reason why they refer to each other as “he/him “or “she/her “ it’s because it makes especially 2011 audiences more comfortable, at a time before people were using neo pronouns or even had a concept of them. Just some food for thought
