Optimus Prime Gets A Ticket?

Remembers those Optimus Prime photos we brought you from Toy Fair? According to Movieweb Optimus Prime was cited for blocking traffic! Barricade's revenge?

To read the original story click here! There are also a couple of quotes from an interview with DOTM's Rosie Huntington-Whitley, but nothing all that revealing about the movie.

In other Transformers: Dark of the Moon news, Optimus Prime himself visited the American International Toy Fair in New York and received a $115 parking ticket.

The screen-used tractor-trailer version of Optimus Prime was parked on 41st Street near 8th Avenue in front of Times Square after being dropped off on a flatbed in two pieces from Los Angeles. New York City drivers had a hard time making it around the 9 ft vehicle, which was charged with blocking traffic.

Apparently, the truck is only drivable on a movie set, and not street legal. Although Hasbro, who had the truck and trailer shipped in for the Toy Fair, had all of the appropriate street permits, Optimus Prime still received a ticket. There is no word if Hasbro will pay the ticket at this time.

He should have diplomatic immunity, but he doesn't have his diplomatic plates, and his little Autobot flags weren't properly displayed on his front fenders.

If Hasbro refuses to pay the ticket, I'm sure a group of Transformers fans will take care of it.
