I'm sorry, but whatever it is between Adam and Blake... it's not a ship. If you look at all of Blake's reactions to seeing Adam, it's not romantic in the slightest. It's not POSITIVE in the slightest. Listen to what he says, and it sheds a whole new light on them.

Adam was abusive towards her, it's as simple as that. The repetition of "my love" in the tone of voice suggests a domineering, obsessively controlling relationship, with all the power in Adam's hands. Her abject FEAR at the sight of him is more than enough to show her opinion of him as a monster. The ship between Blake and Adam is arguably one-sided canon... on Adam's behalf. But he doesn't think of her in a romantic sense, but in the same way he thinks of a tool. A pawn. Little more than means to an end.

To the idea of Bumblebee, Yang makes it clear: she feels betrayed by Blake leaving, which does support the one-sided Bumblebee...if you discount the fact that both of them were best friends, and Yang had lost almost everything in a single fell swoop. Her arm, her team, and her self-esteem. Tattered.

Yes, I am quite well-known in my stance as anti-Bumblebee. But, at the same time, I honestly don't agree with most of these theories. If Yang loved Blake, it's gone. If Blake loved Yang, then her "betrayal" could be framed as her trying to protect the one she loved. Except, she didn't trust Yang. She had to watch one lover become a monster, after all. Blake's damaged in the romantic sense. So far, Sun's gone the furthest into coercing her back out of that.
