- Prince Jumal is a human in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Prince Jumal (Arabic: الأمير جمال al-’Amīr Jamāl), also known as Hassan (Arabic: حسن Ḥasan), is the ruler of an unspecified Middle Eastern nation on Earth. In his spare time, he likes tinkering with old cars.
Fiction
Cartoon continuity
- Voice actor: Mona Marshall (English), Keiichi Nanba (Japanese)
Prince Jumal was deposed by Ali, who took over his palace and allied himself with the Decepticons in order to conquer oil fields throughout the Middle East. Living on the streets, Jumal took on the name "Hassan" and started spying on Ali's activities—stealing jet fighter parts for Megatron's plane drones. Getting into one of Ali's trucks during one of the heists, Hassan met the disassembled Aerialbots Slingshot and Skydive, who were also investigating the plane thefts.
Hassan helped repair the two Autobots, but couldn't find a replacement for Slingshot's weapons console, so he decided to infiltrate Megatron's "fortress" and steal one. The mission was a success, and he provided Slingshot with the missing part just in time for the Aerialbot to save himself from the fortress's grasping tentacles.
After the day was saved and Ali was captured, Slingshot wondered if Prince Jumal would mind that Hassan used parts of his cars to repair the Aerialbots. Hassan then shocked everyone by revealing his true identity, and assured Slingshot that he didn't mind—after all, he liked fixing up "old junkers". Aerial Assault
