There's two reasons I ship Slipstream and Blackarachnia together.

Reason #1: They're both outsiders who have identity and trust issues and that makes for an interesting dynamic.

Slipstream is a clone of a preexisting Decepticon, one who is not trusted or liked by the other Decepticons, but seems to have no clear identity. The other clones have clear roles and personalities but hers is never disclosed. While it comes off as a joke, she may not even know what it is. She also strikes out on her own the first chance she gets and the last we see of her she's somewhere on Earth, away from the other Decepticons, doing who knows what but likely alone. She was brought to life a few days prior, doesn’t know who she is, and doesn’t have other Cybertronians to interact with. 

Blackarachnia had an identity that was ripped from her and a world she can never return to. She joins the Decepticons out of pure survival and spends her time trying to find a way to become who she was before. She has this intense self loathing and a ton of anger towards those she believes caused her to become a techno-organic. She spends all her time trying to return to being Elita and ignoring who she is and what she has done and become. It’s like she thinks that if she can become her old self again, she put being who she is now behind her and never have to think about it. But it’s likely that’s never going to happen and sooner or later she’ll have to come to terms with her new identity and what she’s done to those around her.

So there's this interesting dynamic between the two of identity, regret, and coming to terms with who they are. They would be drawn together by both feeling like outsiders and having no one to relate or talk to. Together they could grow to learn to love themselves and each other, and have someone to lean back on as they take on the universe. 

Reason #2: giant robot goth girlfriends 😍
