If this was revealed in about 10 days time no one would have believed it, but apparantly this is real - Hasbro have released 2 Transformers cologne fragrences for men. One is Bumblebee and the other is Optimus.

Not sure what sort of scent is related to those two, or why, but hopefully it isn't engine oil or diesel...

Gotta wonder who thinks up these things.

(not sure if these will be released here)

Well there's already Sponge Bob cologne (it smells funny) and some other kids brand fragrances.

But yeah marketing it to adult males? Ballsy move Hasbro

See that I can see having a really classy looking package design but TF? You've seen the photos, it looks well... tacky.

Classic :D

If they had taken a less tacky pagaging aproach, and it actually smells ok, it could've maybe had a slim chance.. too bad

Just goes to show that the guys behind it actually believe people will buy just about anything :p

"Bumblebee, stop lubricating the man."

Thats where they get his cologne.
I can only assume the same will be for Optimus Prime.
