I don't know if this opinion is at all shared by anyone. But I always viewed Bumblebee as a ship for people who were fans of Yang and needed a ship for her, more than for people who liked Blake. Not that there weren't Blake fans who shipped them, it just always felt like it was a Yang thing more so than a Blake thing to me.

I'd think that since Blake's main appeal is intellect, complex emotion, and mystery all tied in with her immense backstory, people would ship her with people that align with one or more of those traits. Yang's intelligence isn't a defining feature, her emotion is more on the side of passion, and she shows herself out on the surface, with little left to mystery.

Now opposites do attract at times, but I just don't see how in this case they fit together on any level deeper than the basic quiet vs. outgoing dynamic.
