Trivia
- Mr. Kasem left the original Transformers cartoon during production of the third season episode Thief in the Night because of its depiction of the highly stereotypical Abdul Fakkadi as dictator of made-up Arab state Carbombya.[1] Kasem's family is Lebanese Druze, which is not quite Arab, but zoinks.
- In deference to Mr. Kasem, Dr. Arkeville should be assumed to be a vegetarian. I don't think we have to worry about the Autobots.
