I haven't, although a line of thought did occur to me (http://odditycollector.livejournal.com/147442.html?thread=1078514#t1078514).
Maybe there are black, Asian, Hispanic kids who look at the Transformers and see *someone like me*, but a lot of them have probably internalized somewhat the rule that white is the default and anything else is a huge exception and must be Marked Clearly As Other. Which makes me want to kick things.
There's got to be something that isn't "You can play but none of them are yours really" or "LOOK here is a robot of your very own so you don't need to use ours anymore." There does.
