- Harold Edsel is a human movie star in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Harold had the bad luck of "starring" in a science fiction film along with Karen Fishook whose director became obsessed with using Hoist and several of the Autobots as his main characters (likely saving loads on his FX budget).
For reasons that are unclear, he bears some resemblance to the Star Warrior Han Solo.
Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon
- Voice actor: Corey Burton (English), Keiichi Nanba (Japanese)
The combination of bad Autobot acting and Decepticon attention apparently spelled doom for Harold's film and peace of mind. Hoist Goes Hollywood
Notes
- Harold Edsel is a parody of Harrison Ford. The Ford Edsel pun was later reused for the mayor of Detroit in Animated.
- Interestingly, his first character seems to be based (in appearance) upon Indiana Jones, one of Harrison Ford's most famous roles.
