Fiction
The Transformers cartoon
- 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 drone jets. 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

After growing up and inheriting the throne, King Hassan attended one of the Aerialbots' energon barbecue parties, bringing one of his old cars and reminiscing about the good old days. Energon BBQ Today!
Notes
- "Jumal" seems to be a misspelled (sort of...) rendition of the name otherwise spelled "Jamal" (جمال Jamāl). It translates to "beauty" or "grace".
- "Hassan" (حسن Ḥasan) is a common Arabic name. It translates to "handsome" or "well-appearing".
- Whoever assigned the Prince's names in the script must've thought very highly of his looks...
