I'm not in the Transformers fandom, but I guess this as good a place as any to ask this question. Can someone please explain to me how the mechanics and logistics of robot sex work? I'm not meaning to judge, I am genuinely curious.

Not in the fandom, but I like to imagine electromagnetic eroto-stimulation.

There's sticky, which is basically robot penises.

Some people substitute this for a jack plug and it works like plugging your headphones in an iPod or something. (I personally like this one.)

There's plug n play that involves hooking wires together.

There's spark contact where they touch the sparks in their chests together. Sparks are the equivalent to souls. If those go out a Transformer will die.

I think that's all of them. Anyone want to add in? Feel free.

This is more information than you probably ever wanted about robots banging each other, but you asked for mechanics and logistics, so...

Tactile- Sexy touching. The characters respond to pain in anthropomorphized ways, exchange friendly physical contact in anthropomorphized ways, and seem to find certain kinds of sensations physically pleasant, so why not anthropomorphize a little more?
Some writers add a handwave about (or focus on) building up and releasing of electrical charge. It's canon that these robots can get 'over-energized' (ie, drunk) off of fuel that's too high grade, so they kind of stretch that concept a bit to include pleasurable overcharging in other forms.

Plug and play- Exchanging data and/or charge more directly, through literal cords, wires, plugs, ports, and the like. Sometimes written somewhat anthropomorphicly (think of how we class electronics connectors as 'male' or 'female'), sometimes written decidedly more alien.

Sticky- Robotic equivalents of penises and vaginas. Depending on the fanfic author, these may either be naturally occurring, engineered into the robot race long ago (the same way that they have things like cockpits and car seats), or optional body modifications that individual robots went and got added because they thought it would be hot.
Regardless of the explanation (if any), it's not uncommon in the porny side of the fandom for authors to give characters BOTH. You can find fics with, say, Arcee (http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/thumb/3/37/ArceeG1-2010storypage.jpg/312px-ArceeG1-2010storypage.jpg) penetrating someone with her spike, or Starscream (http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/7/79/Starscreamg1.jpg) being penetrated in his valve.

Sparkplay- Sex via one character literally touching another's physical soul, and/or having having their own make contact with or merge with their partners. There's a lot of overlap here with the sort of soulbonding tropes you get in wider fandom.

Fascinating, thanks for the detailed response.
