    i think people just like to bitch, and the robots have to talk like someone, why not be black and white and redneck? i say they should be allowed to talk like everyone and screw any self proclaimed minority bigot that says they cant

    this is bullshit that skids mudflap are being hated for this, let me ask you this why isnt optimusprime being hated for acting as a white person?how come this are the only characters being stereotypical?is it because they are talking like african americans?why not be sterotypical to all the robots for talking like any type of ethnic group?for these 2 to be hated just because they are using the black image that is a real slap in the face to me as being a white individual and that when ever the black people image is being used that it is NOTALLOWED for god sack these are just robots that are giving the movie something to laugh at, for those people who are thinking this movie sucks because of these 2 robots you should know that is bull shit!so remember this if you are going to critise skids mudflap for using an ethnic group for their character then you should hate every other robot for even talking because every robot has a character based on a ethnic group weather it be white/black etc
