Hoptimus Prime Rolls into UK Pubs

Robinson's Brewery is rolling out a special seasonal beer with a familiar name, Hoptimus Prime! That right folks we now have beer that pays homage to our beloved Autobot leader Optimus Prime. This seasonal brew will only be available in the UK in March and April. Check it out below!

Hoptimus Prime
Brewed using only British hops and barley malts this beer exhibits a rich array of malt and traditional fruity hop flavours, complemented by a crisp dry finish. The unique flavour of Hoptimus Prime transforms as each individual ingredient combines to satisfy all of your hoppy needs.

Sweet Primus, between all the energon intoxication, Futurama robot fuel, and could-Autobots-drink-any-of-this-without-breaking-drunk-driving-laws-even-if-they-stayed-in-robot-mode jokes, I don't even know where to begin.

How appropriate that it's exclusive to the land that gave us the most enduring TF origin mythos.

Wait a tick...am I correct in assuming the op and the hoptimus prime I made reference to are from seperate breweries using the same name? That's kinda lame if it is.

OH YEAY just what I always wanted. My childhood cartoons & toys associated with ALCOHOL ?!? I am sure parents all over the world are going to be SO behind this. I hope this gets blasted for copyright infringement.

I understand where yer coming from, but its also true this is a tribute to a cartoon character whose fan base is now mostly in their 30s... There might be legal wranglings due to the usage of prime's likeness but after asus' transformer prime laptop name was allowed I don't think hasbro would have much ground to stand on.

Also, it's a limited edition alcoholic beverage which will be sold to persons over the legal age... Though I'm not a parent I think that's preferable to a sugary soft drink tied in with our favorite franchise.
My personal prime collection so far in descending order of how great i reckon the toy is -
FE Prime, Silas Breakdown (Powerizer), Dreadwing (Powerizer), FE Bulkhead, Voyager StarScream (Powerizer), Ratchet, Soundwave, Arcee, Voyager Megatron (Powerizer), Wheeljack, Thundertron (Powerizer), Ultra Magnus (Powerizer), Knockout, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee,Airachnid

Yeah, I am not trying to start an argument here btw. On the adult side, it REALLY bothers me because Prime does change into an automobile. Drinking and driving related in any sense of the word is just all around a bad idea to me.

MR Optimus Prime wrote:OH YEAY just what I always wanted. My childhood cartoons & toys associated with ALCOHOL ?!?

And we seriously need to do something about all those angry young people with their hoodies and baggy trousers hanging below their asses swearing rhymes in to microphones. You call THAT music?!

Then there's their 'Tom and Berry' ale! Can you imagine if some unscrupulous, angry individual drank too much and got in to a tussle with someone, whacking them in the face with an iron or dropping an anvil on their foot? The shame it would bring to the loveable Tom & Jerry name. :P

It's a clever little play on words. It's going to be around for two months, available ONLY in one small country, and not even in every single establishment that serves alcoholic beverages. It'll be gone before anyone knows it exists.

Be less wooden, good sir. You really don't think highly of your fellow man, do you? The slightest hint of ethanol and wheels, and the world will devolve into a drunken destruction derby. Is that how it is? No one who isn't already stupid enough to drink and drive is going to be persuaded to do so by this. At most, they'll probably run outside, shout "I'm Optimus Prime!", do the transforming sound and run up the street going "Vroom, vroom!" ;)

I'd have thought the general tone of my whole comment would've made it clear that I wasn't being serious. My apologies to MR Optimus Prime, but I was taking the mickey as his comments struck me as stereotypical 'old-man' comments, and so I continued with it.
