You have got to wonder what the 1 percent of both humans and Transformers will think about Suckadelic's new Occupy Cybertron action figures. Suckadelic's latest set of action figures puts a satirical twist on the Occupy Wall Street movement.
In Suckadelic's Occupy Cybertron series, the Decepticons represent the 1 percent whereas the Autobots are the 99 percent. The action figures are styled after the classic Transformers cartoons from the 80s and depict Megatron as a suit-wearing stooge fighting against the Occupy movement. The Autobot action figures come complete with signs and are modeled after a pink Transformer whose name escapes me due to my limited knowledge of the series. Suckadelic's Occupy Cybertron will make its official debut at New York City's End of Century in the city's Lower East Side.
