- The manual classes are social strata from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
According to the principles of functionism, whereby a Transformer's alternate mode defines their purpose, those who do the dirty jobs such as the Constructibots, miners and haulers are collectively known as the manual classes. They are not afforded a good position in society, being treated as little more than slaves, and as a general rule, can be identified by the black and yellow hazard stripes they sport.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Many of the early Decepticons were drawn from the ranks of the manual classes, which made some members of other classes fearful of a Decepticon uprising. Post Hoc
Notes
- As miners and/or early Decepticons, Megatron, Impactor, Terminus, Rumble, Frenzy and Frak were presumably all members of the manual classes, as was Momus before he was declared alt-mode exempt.
