Doctor Alex Malto is a history professor and massive, massive fan of Bumblebee, possibly not in that order. As the father of the Malto family, he helps keep the peace by defusing tense situations with his always positive demeanor and tasty home cooking. His years spent studying to earn his PhD, combined with his pride in his Filipino heritage, make him a strong believer in the importance of passing down knowledge and traditions, and he's done his best to instill an appreciation for both in his children. He and his wife Dot have their work cut out for them raising not only Robby and Mo, but an expanding number of Terrans, so it's just as well Alex really likes Transformers.
