My friend found an article through another message board about an American who had his name legally changed to Optimus Prime. When questioned on it his reply was that he never had a father figure in his childhood, either his father had left or passed away, but the father figure I suppose he saw to be Optimus Prime. He later joined I think it was the national guard, where he recieved a letter from some congressman telling him it was nice having the leader of the Autobots defending the safety of the nation. yeah.....weird, but from my understanding, very true.
