Everyone is black now

So MASK's lead Matt Trakker is black now. I wonder if they will make Hondo white.

>They will make Miles Mayhem a racist to further a Black People GOOD, White People BAD message

>Screencap this.

If they make Vanessa Warfield fat for the SJWs I swear to god...

Miles will probably end up being a Donald Trump allegory.

Those are all the rage today.

This is 2016 nigga

They are going to make Gloria chubby and lesbian and Vanessa trans.

Did you not see what IDW did to Jem? False claims of it being a successful book and then lined up for cancellation.

Why does Mayhem's helmet have a mustache?

Because mustaches are badass you faggot.

Where's my new C.O.P.S. book?

Hasbro toy designer turn higher exec John Frascotti said that COPS sadly was more of a need for Hasbro to make larger action figures to combat the ground they were losing to Playmates TMNT line and Mattel's He-Man

Cops also doubled as a way to keep trademarked IPs of their other brands (GI Joe and Transformers) since they lost a lot of them in 1986-87.

Cops was a means to an end.

Why are people throwing a shitfit over MASK having a nignog?

Who gives a shit about MASK? It'll be canceled after 4 issues just like Action Man.

Seriously I get it that they toys were fun but the cartoon is shit. It doesn't even have the it's so bad it's good camp value like He-Man MASK was just awful all around.

Is it owned by Hasbro?

Past or Future COPs names

Bulletproof = GI Joe 1992
Longarm = Transformers 2001
Barricade = GI Joe 1992, Transformers 2003 then 2007
Mirage = Transformers 1984
Mainframe = Transformers 1991
Bullseye = Used for Hasbro Marvel IPs
Hardtop = GI Joe 1987 later Transformers 2005
Airwave = GI Joe 1990
Checkpoint = Transformers 2003 later GI Joe 2009
Inferno = Transformers 1985
Nightstck = Transformers 1987
Roadblock = GI Joe 1986 later Transformers 2003
Bluestreak (Vehicle) = Transformers 1984

Just to name a few

>Is it owned by Hasbro?

It was at one point.

Hasbro sold off several of their licenses over the years, so it may not be.

Battle Beasts was sold to Diamond Select. Inhumanoids was sold to somebody else; dunno who, but Hasbro at pone point considered making their own knockoff called Primordia since they no longer owned the original.

The name COPS itself is kinda lost due to the live action police show (It's why DIC called COPS; Cyber COPs during it's 90s reruns) but most of the character names they still have

>blacks read comics

STOP THIS FUCKING MEME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Teenage white girls read them, and teenage white girls love black cock more than anything else in the world.

Oh look it's another "let's racebend instead of coming up with new ideas" comic. I hate when ANY race is "washed" whether it's white, black, brown or yelow. It's not fucking creative.

Sad thing is this isn't even news, they revealed the stupid change when they announced the new book along with everyone asking why they didn't just promote Hondo to leader and Trakker off on mission/lost. This also now falls into another stereotype as Matt Trakker was a lousy father which is now black man and black son

It's not like there wasn't already a black character. Why not just make him the focus of the series? I used to love him and his cars when I was a kid.

...

Hondo had the best vehicle of the good guys.

>I wonder if they will make Hondo white.
He'll have to be even blacker.

...

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnope

I didn't think Scott Trakker was in it. Also he was a shitty father anyway.

>Why not just make him the focus of the series?

People would still be mad.

>They fought the urge to give Vanessa a sidecut

I am genuinely shocked.

>Gloria
>chubby

I have no problem with this.

Ah-merrr-ri-ca

Wouldn't surprise me.

Both of ROM's human allies are black women. Not saying thats bad or anything, just...thats how it goes these days.

Ya know at one point Hasbro wanted to merge MASK and COPS together?

I can't bring myself to give a shit about this, because every MASK character was so bland and featureless that they could change anything and I wouldn't care. Matt being black doesn't even qualify as "another reason to not care about IDW MASK", because it was such an uninteresting premise already.
IDW Miles Mayhem has already proven himself to be amazing, however. So I'm hyped for him showing up in one of the IDW books I'm actually going to be reading.
Why the fuck wouldn't it?
You really think they could make a "heroic cops vs evil criminals" book in 2016, user? They couldn't even set it in the future because then they wouldn't get Transformers fan sales bumps.
Still was as of SDCC 2011.

So, if Hasbro doesn't own Inhumanoids anymore, can they still use the names of the characters?

>Both of ROM's human allies are black women.

Too bad tumblr ignores it, now if ROM had two gay beautiful white guys on the other hand....

Yeah I never saw the MASK cartoon so I went and gave it a looknat ughh it wasn't that great and the VA for it was shit.

Miles Mayhem was cool in the IDW comic so yeah if the IDW MASK characters are as interesting as him I will check it out.

>It'll be canceled after 4 issues just like Action Man.
F-fuck you, Action Man deserved better.

Why do they call them masks, anyway?

Thats a helmet. Not a mask.

What the fuck are you talking about, Boco? Go home.
Hasbro's still got Inhumanoids, they just can't relaunch it because the House of Mouse has an iron grip on the word "inhuman", and they can't give it a new name because it wouldn't get nostalgia sales.

Action Man is dead already? Really?

Apparently some guy named Brian Flynn owns the name now.

bleedingcool.com/2015/12/24/marvel-challenging-over-inhumans-trademark-and-being-challenged/

I'm just wondering if he owns the names of the characters, like D'Compose, Tendril, etc.

>Both of ROM's human allies are black women
Shut up, Boco. The cop is latina, not black.

Oh, okay.

....Great comic so far, though.

...

Does it really make a difference? Does anyone actually give a shit about MASK enough for this to matter?

I was all for a MASK reboot but BLACKED the main character?

Nah, I'll pass. I'm sick of this shit being forced on me. Ill stick to my nostalgia cartoons

>switching any character to white

at best, it will be a villain

ha

Of course not. People just enjoy getting angry about dumb crap all the time. In the long run it won't even matter. Everyone will forget about it if the book ends up being good.

aww yeah

>So MASK's lead Matt Trakker is black now.

He didn't even create this shit anymore, he's the "rebellious rookie who learns to be a leader"

Fuck that noise.
Matt needs to be Team Daddy, giving out insane superpower helmets and stealth tanks.

Jesus fucking Christ....They even fucked up Sly Rax? Sly fucking Rax, AKA the break-out character of the series? Making him a clean shaven Asian?

Can I assume, per the push to make VENOM the new Cobra big bad, they did this so they can make Sly Rax basically a replacement Storm Shadow to Mile's Cobra Commander and Vanessa's Baroness?

The only way Hasbro can salvage this bullshit is if they give us PROPER classic MASK figures either in GI Joe scale or 6' scale at some point in the near future....

Such a good toy line though.

Buttons McBoomBoom was the shit.
