Well....fat albert WAS the leader and he DID wear red and blue. :schin

I think you're missing the point it was hastak that took the idea from cosby   I'm thinking Bill Cosby should be getting royalties from the corporate "Zeitgeist" hasbro because they are always trying to keep the black man down      they dont like bill cosby because he is a posative role model to minorities and they want to shove everyone int0 their conservative mold

Exactly. The problem with today's media is that there aren't any positive ethnic role models in cartoons, especially Transformers. I mean, look at the Autobots--all white guys, right? How many of them could've been from the Cybertronian equivolent of Harlem, Israel, Afghanistan or even Japan? Sure there was Jazz--the token "black bot"--but even he was a scat-talking, jive-walking stereotype. Blaster was the worst--a white dude who wanted to be black, so he tried to immerse himself into black culture, even speaking in rhymes--probably trying to imitate Roadblock from "G.I. Joe" much like Eminem tries to imitate every rapper known to man. It's sad really.

how can you say that?  Jazz, the truly only ethnic sounding character was Painted White!!!  It's like Hasbro was saying, "In our would, white is right"

What exactly is an ethnic sound?? Do you mean like clicking?? Because I'm pretty sure ALL transformers made those noises.

It all started with Takara, See the japanese are like the lap dog of the US, Pampered Cute, it fits in our purse like Paris hilton and her scraggley little mutt

 

thats why they use their animation to dumb us down because the government benefits from the dumbing down of the populace... it makes us easier to control

 

and by using amrican icons like fat albert characters they tap into the core subconscious of the demographic of 20 - 35 yr olds and thats how Gerrge bush won the second election

 

and yeah Jazz was clearly an uncle tom I can't believe the NAACP never took them down over that

i think we are all forgetting the shows treatment of middle easterners... Carbomia?  WTF!!  Frankly i'm not suprised to see Hasbro so overtly snatching Cosby's ideas in an attempt to moderate the black culture seepedge into our society.

At least CLINTON cared about Jazz.

And Raul.....they had ONE latino character and the guy stole cars.

 

sigh.

And look at the Decepticons: Starscream, obviously a horrendously gay stereotype with his shrill voice and cowardly demeanor ("Don't hit me, Megatron!!!"), was an attempt to villanize the gay community in the eyes of children. It might have worked, since "gay" is now synonymous with "stupid" in some slang.

oh i concur 100% and of course who do they pit against starscream in the one show where he may have conquered?  The manliest bot of all Warpath!!  In an attempt to alter america's subconcience into believing that manly men triumph over gays....

At least CLINTON cared about Jazz.
