Man Legally Changes Name to 'Megatron'

Yes, I know, lots more interesting Tf news to report about...

But we also need to report on the lighter side and the more human side of the hobby, and remember it can never be taken too seriously, or in some cases it can...

I'm sure everyone remembers Scott Nall, who in 2001, officially had his name changed to 'Optimus Prime' to honor his childhood hero. He is a member of the armed forces who served in Iraq, and is a very devoted Transformers fan. A hero very worthy of the name. (Check out an interview of Mr. Optimus Prime at Botcon here.)

Well, O ptimus Prime now has his rival, Megatron to watch out for. July 2nd, Jason Michael Burrows went in front of a judge at a Seattle courthouse and legally changed his name to reflect his childhood hero, Megatron. Jason is as of Monday, legally named Jason 'Megatron' Burrows. See the article here at gizmodo.com.

So what will we see next from the fan base of this new summer blockbuster? Only time will tell when we see a Mrs. Starscream, and a Mr. Bee... Bumblebee.

That's the lighter side of the Transformers news! Now back to your regularly scheduled serious Transformers news. :)

Join us in Seibertron.com's Transformers General Discussion to talk about some more silly and serious things related to Transformers!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Oh boy, I guess if Optimus Prime and Megatron ever meet, the laws of the geek universe decree that one shall stand and one shall fall

Then they should probably meet at a roller derby.
