It looks like Michael Bay didn't learned he's lesson last time when every critic who viewed 'Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen' took him to task for the racist caricatures embodied in Skids and Mudflap, two robots who spoke in hip-hop slang and constantly bickered as a form of comic relief.

Now it seems 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' looks set to feature a new character named Topspin, who's a blue racer from the NASCAR circuit. who sports a mullet.

Then again, Topspin may not even speak or do anything other than assist his fellow Autobot Wreckers. However, this description from Wikipedia isn't all too promising:

Topspin likes hard jobs that leave him dented. He is very tough, but has below-average intelligence.




So what do you guys think is Michael Bay offend various social groups with he's "comic relief" and do you think it's funny ?Or just messed up?
