Transformers

You, Artist! Make me shinier!
Throughout the Transformers multiverse are many Transformers who consider themselves family and refer to each other as such. The most common case is when two Transformers regard each other as siblings. Transformers even occasionally express familial relationships with non-Transformers.
Given that Transformers are not organic life and likely do not reproduce sexually, the origin, distinction, and exact meaning of many of these terms is frequently unclear.
Possible explanations
On the MUX, sometimes when two Transformers are built and given life at the same time by Vector Sigma, it creates two robots who are "brothers," such as Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. When such a pairing is artificially induced, the less balanced and self-reliant pair created are referred to as "clones". This definition of "brother" may or may not apply to Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, whose brotherhood was said to result from the special circumstance of having both been re-created by Alpha Trion.
