The Most Disgusting Transformer May Be Too Gross To Film

For a series about robot aliens, the "Transformers" franchise has had numerous controversies over the years. One of the biggest came in 2009's "Revenge of the Fallen" with "the Twins," namely Skids and Mudflap, voiced by Tom Kenny and Reno Wilson, respectively. The jive-talking Autobots used rap-inspired slang and admitted they couldn't read. One of them even had a gold tooth, causing many to point out how they were based on Black stereotypes. While it's later explained they're that way due to brain damage, that only worsened problems. The backlash was so severe that they were dropped from any future installments.

The intention may have simply been to have some comedic relief, but it came across as racist caricatures. Blot wouldn't intrinsically have that issue; he's just stinky at the end of the day. There is the issue of him leaking fluids since a similar gag was used in the original "Transformers" film in 2007 when Bumblebee seemingly urinated on Seymour Simmons (John Turturro). The mileage viewers got out of that bit also likely varied, but Blot could show how a "Transformers" movie could do childish jokes the right way. 

The controversial moments mentioned previously involved Autobots. However, Decepticons and Terrorcons really haven't gotten a chance to be sillier. They're always doom and gloom with evil monologues. Blot would show how the bad guys can have a sense of humor, too, especially if it's clear the other Terrorcons find Blot just as repulsive as anyone else. It shows even they have a limit, which would give the "Transformers" villains a chance to be more lighthearted than how they've been portrayed for the most part so far.
