| Transformer Otaku  Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 1,995 Location: TX Collection Count: 1000+ club member  | It is clear that the proud and glorious Decepticons are being oppressed by the greedy and evil Autobots, and the Autobots themselves made all humans think the Decepticons are evil too! That's discrimination IN Transformers, and the proud and nob.... RIP Libby - Died June 1st, 2012sorry, cracked up there myself. There's actually a few things that's discriminatory, or perhaps sometimes better stated, racially insensitive. Carbomya. Jointrons. But the name of Thundercracker? Nothing there at all.
