You read that right, this is a real headline I did not think I'd ever write. It turns out that on June 4th, the Texas police arrested a man named Optimus Prime Blakely who was driving a stolen car in Austin. It turns out that Optimus Prime is indeed the legal name of the 37-year-old who has been charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Blakely is being held on an $8,000 bond.
Here is a link to the original story from Fox Austin: https://www.fox7austin.com/news/optimus ... stin-texas

Optimus Crime seems to be a pretender shell.

I wonder how many real people have legally changed their name to O.P.
I also wonder if The Onion has ever ran that same headline. I recall one about Bumblebee refusing to transform into his VW alt.

Not the first time an Optimus Prime has broken the law.

I know around the time of RiD back in 2000there was a real life firefighter who changed his name to Optimus Prime. Seemed like a fairly law abiding citizen though. Anyone who tarnishes the name by committing a crime Should automatically be forced to go back to their original name.

I remember back in the early 2000s a US soldier made headlines for legally changing his name to Optimus Prime.

Nope, Megatron didn't condone this either: https://twitter.com/Megatron_decep/stat ... 3012594883
People of Earth, today you must have woken up to the truth!
Please take a good look at this and see why we Decepticons are sometimes forced to act evil!
Yes, the Autobots were evil and the Decepticons were righteous!!!

As for the subject of the article, I'm not surprised. At all. Basic behavior.
