While snapping pics of Hasbro’s display cases full of Fall of Cybertron toys, Transformers: Prime toys and… well, that appears to be all they had. So while nothing new was happening with Hasbro, SUDDENLY OPTIMUS PRIME APPEARED! Turns out he’s a little shorter in person, but has the charisma to enchant the entire room.

Um… I think I have too few transformers thanks to this video. I certainly need to talk to the wife about our bed spread being bare of robot combat and her lack of sexy bumblebee attire.
