Let’s assume, for simplicity of argument, that both voice actors were told to portray this kind of character, with the intent of producing a “ghetto” robot, and they both obviously agreed to participate.  Does the studio asking them to create such characters constitute racism?  Or even some sort of one-sided stereotyping?  I would argue no, and the reasons are quite clear.

Another major criticism is the heavy-handed use of computer effects, which, again, makes no sense.  The critics seem to think that a movie about giant robots fighting each other can happen without the use of special effects and camera trickery, which is in itself an interesting problem - I’d love to see a non-CG rendition of Transformers.  Maybe they’ll use sockpuppets?
