I can see where you're coming from.. but I see more white kids acting like the twins. The twins were 'young' Autobots, who where immature, and trying to fit in to a human culture they didnt really know anything about.
On a side note, one of the twins, Mudflap, was voiced by a black guy.. who also did 'non-racist' characters in TF Part 1 and Part 3 as well. I'm sure to him it was just acting.. I would supply a voice a redneck hillbilly if they paid me just as well.

Hey Man Look Where Your Driving!

we have to respect each other's perspective in this. i grew up on transformers, too, and i also was unimpressed, to say the least, with the twins. i'm black with an extensive vocabulary and an admittedly cynical world view. that gives me my particular perspective on this issue, but i can undertand one's perspective who doesn't see offense in the twins. tmotofga is a mature black man that, by mere fact of his apparent age, has seen some things with race in america. just hear each other out.

I think your issues run deeper than Transformers. I think we can all agree that film was horrible.

For my observation it is obvious in magazine ads, movies, I've even seen it in the WatchTower (a religious pamphlet) where blacks are visably and selectively placed 'down', underneath a white male, as a side kick to a white male, or in adoration to a white male. I see it as an extreme but backwards compliment. I will make a racist statement but from my own observation blacks (to me) are hands down physically and emotionally superior to whites. Whites someday will relax with this. I'm white.

agreed.

You couldn't even carry my jock strap. My very words would break your jaw. Grow up, become a man and then come see me. Good day.

wow im glad i wasnt the only one who noticed the twins being very stereotype like.although i wonder if anyone here also noticed in the first movie that the only autobot to get killed was jazz atleast i think that was his name

Break it down.!!!!!

@tmotofga that is just comedic relief in the movie. believe it or not, many other stereotypes are exemplified in the transformers series as well (particularly t2 which had terrible loop holes). it's called comedic relief for a reason. every culture (nationality) has a personality that is obsessive/obnoxious and they chose to use blacks because blacks are culturally 'cool', not because they hate you. plus the 2 bots were portrayed as KIDS. anyone who takes this movie that seriously is a dumb ass.
You know, I would like to make a lengthy comment on here, but I would like to simplify it.

-Denzel Washington won an Oscar for his performance in the movie 'American Gangster' and not for his performace in the movie 'Malcolm X'. In a nutshell, that summarizes the media's support of publicizing negative black roles over respectable ones.

TMOT out of curiosity do you have any intentions of seeing Transformers 3 as a result of the inclusion of the twins in Transformers 2?

I will not spend one red cent on T3 if they are in it.
