Yes, they may know of love since they know every other emotion, but this does not mean they perceive love in the same way humans do.
I would think they are simply built. If more soldiers are needed, more are created right away. That was the primary reason more and more Transformers were introduced - to be of assistance in the Great War. And they do live for centuries so it is not really necessary to keep making more and more. They can be replaced and repaired after all.
And Optimus uses his Creation Matrix that was passed down to him to give the built robots life. And than the Decepticons harnessed this very power to give their newly built soldiers life as well.

Although it seems a plausible theory, but when Grimlock created Computron, it just seem like a lot of work to "build". The Dinobots were the same. It almost appear that to build one and create "life" it was more than just for the great war and not just the Matrix's doing.

Somekind of act through the spark last time I heard about it. The TF then grows in size due to its bodies given (spare parts or mainframe given at creation etc)

In my crazy '07 fanonverse, the Allspark (and the hidden Creation Matrix) creates the, um, Transformers (I tend to call them Cybertronians), and disregards the gender issue because these guys don't know gender (human concept). So I justify the existence of, say, Elita-1 and Arcee, and the somewhat mindless Scorponok by using "class" - mech, femme, drone, and neutral (so I could explain Frenzy, and later on Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, etc.). There's no constructing except constructing ON a pre-existing Transformer, and the smex isn't for reproduction (cuz that's what the big ol' alien box is for) but rather for other needs - emotional and whatnot.
Since I wasn't alive when the 80's cartoon ran, I have nothing to say about it. I was also a really dumb kid when Beast Wars was around, so I don't remember the details.

Ah Beast Wars.
I did love that series.
I'm gonna side with the majority, they are created, the smex is just for bonding.

I personally believe that there is no reproducing. It just doesn't make sense with all the information we've been given with most of the series. But, hey, that doesn't stop me from reading fic that says otherwise. whee

This is how I think
[mostly thought about it during the 07 film]
Since the Allspark creates life it gives birth to a bot something like a metal
block that later transforms. Though it is kinda weird to think that they grow since I don't know METAL DOESN'T GROW?!
But hell its science fiction in that universe anything is possible

I may be shot for this *shot* I KNEW IT DX
I like several universes, but the one that has the best explanation on reproduction in transformers: animated. They actually explain it pretty well :/
In the beggining Cybertron created a bunch of things called protoforms. They were like metal eggs, that could take in information and have a form according to that information. It is sort of similar to how transformers can scan a form later in life. I believe that one or more parent can touch the protoform causing it to take in their 'dna' and become a combination of however many parents. No sex required, but still technically 'making' instead of building. This theory gets a boost from the "hatchlings" in ROTF. I believe those were protoforms.
Then on the subject of gender we can examine how much interstellar contact transformers have throught their history. They probably picked up gender on another world where it was important, and those with female-type bodies picked to be considered female. Same with male.
Finally, as far as 'sex' goes, it can still be used for emotional bonding, or just for feeling good. Humans don't always do it to reproduce. Once the brain of a species evolves into sentience the purpose of sex changes.
Those are my theories anyway.

Well it is logical to think that say the femme get prego...XD then whould she not just SHARE her spark? Just like Earth Creatuers in general. If she could that is. Then that would probily requier the mechs input of his spark as well. But the body isn't within the femme so it has to be built by some one and a spark cavity gotten. That's just what I think what is logical by what I've gathered on this thread

Well you see, when two giant alain robots really, really like each other they do a special kind of hug. They put their two sparks together and create a whole new spark! That spark is then placed into a protoform, along with whatever kinds of mods the creators deem necessary, and thats where baby giant alian robots come from.
Ta da! xd
How's that sound?

xd : Thanks, Pumkinn, that made me laugh.
Anyway, I like the prototype idea, but I wouldn't put too much faith in the Transformers movies for 'prototype' evidence. I like them and all (and got hooked on Transformers because of them), but ask any Transformer fan and they will give you a mile-long list of all the changes that was made from the original series (robot lips being one of the many complaints blaugh ).
But as far as making/building goes, we can all agree that Transfomers can definitly be built (see previous replies talking about Dinobots, etc.). I also believe that there is a sort of 'making' process as well, but haven't really looked to deeply into that subject, so I can't give a definite answer/explaination.

I think that we can all agree that at some point in time Some Assembly Is Required....Yes?
