A little while back, I showcased an unused (and pretty radical) redesign of Optimus Prime. This time around, we’re doing it old school with Pat Lee.

I think the Autobots have been on Earth for too long.

<sarcasm> Isn’t it wonderful how far we’ve come since the 1980s when it comes to stereotyping Middle Easterners? </sarcasm>
![Oh yeah. The writers totally went there. >_<;](https://theragingfanboy.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/thetransformers066075-abdulfakkadicarbombya001.jpg?w=450&h=608)
This was bad enough to kill Cliffjumper, Bluestreak, and Teletraan I.
This rather shameful display comes to you courtesy of The Transformers – Episode 66: Five Faces of Darkness – Part 1 (September 15, 1986) and Episode 75: Thief in the Night (October 6, 1986).

When prolific Transformer fanartist Rekka started taking requests on her Tumblr blog, This Is Bad Comedy, for things that we’d like to see her draw, I almost immediately recalled this scene of Grimlock dressed as a waiter from the classic series episode Madman’s Paradise…
![Why would robots need giant glasses of booze? o_O](https://theragingfanboy.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/transformers-grimlockwaiter001.jpg?w=450&h=337)
Why would giant robots need giant glasses of alcoholic beverages? ![o_O](https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/o_O.svg)
…and decided to up the ante by requesting an image of him dressed in a French maid outfit. And this was the end result:

All kinds of love are encouraged in The Raging Fanboy toy chest…though techno-lesbianism is admittedly a bit rare around these parts.

As a theoretician, anthropologist, and daydreaming road hazard, Skids makes for a rather unlikely warrior in the ongoing conflict between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Like most of us, he only wants the simple things in life: to escape the horrors of war; to enjoy a peaceful existence dedicated to pursuing his own interests; to receive sponge baths from hot chicks in Daisy Dukes.
