Optimus Prime is Here!!!

[GoktimusPrime]

"Optimus Prime" is an American Transfan who had his name legally changed to 'Optimus Prime.' He's also part of the US National Guard (as a firefighter) and is currently serving in Baghdad, Iraq.

The original user known as Optimus Prime was - iirc - a German fan called Iggy Drouge (could be wrong)... but the American Optimus Prime is the most widly recognised Transfan using the "Optimus Prime" handle, since it is legally also his real name.

that's just mad... so hmmm I wonder how he deals with Hasbro over brand name copyright/registered/intellectual property... know what i mean?

Iggy is/was from Sweden, actually. There's a name I haven't heard (well, read) in.. what must be 8 years.

Oh, more recently than that. Remember I mentioned stumbling across his ebay ID about a year or two ago, and saw that even though he was still buying the occasional TF, he seemed to have a greater fetish with buying Barbie dolls clothing.
Scary...

[Optimus Prime]

Hello everyone! Thanks for the welcome! (even if it was a little misdirected.) While I'm not MR OPTIMUS PRIME (who IS the firefighter over in Iraq who changed his name), I have chatted with him before a few times. I'm actually the Optimus Prime from the Official Transformers Movie Board ( http://boards.transformersmovie.com/ ).
