The fact that RG 02 - who is a dragon - removes his armor may be a reference to "Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac"; in this manga, the character Shiryū (the Dragon Knight) often removes his armor and fights shirtless. Considering "Saint Seiya" inspired a lot of yaoi dōjinshi that popularized the term "yaoi" in the late 80's, it is not surprising to see a gay romance between RG 01 and RG 02.
