Optimus Prime is an icon. He has made his name by saving the day and beating back the Decepticons. Now Optimus has a new job as the Newspapers Association of America spokesman.

"Newspapers: The PRIME Choice for Information

The Newspapers Association of America (NAA) kicks off its literacy campaign with a selective list of celebrity talent. The legendary film and television star, OPTIMUS PRIME was chosen as a spokesman to help promote the importance of reading newspapers. This ad continues OPTIMUS PRIME’s rich legacy of public service – he regularly concluded his animated broadcasts with an intimate and encouraging public service message.

Well, that's random. Not that random is ever a bad thing. Shame the headline's three years out of date ;)

Notice the DVD ad on the paper. It even says that it's after 20 years. Hasbro is desperate.

One shall stand, one shall read.

I thought that you were made of more literate stuff, Megatron.

And reading is half the battle!

Autobots, transform and read a book!

OP: All we need is a little energon, and a lot of books...
Megs: More books than you can imagine, Optimus Prime!

'Till all are literate!

I would have prefered Grimlock as the literacy spokesperson.

"Me Grimlock think reading good."

...No he didn't! Unless you count the DVD's, or the season that he DIDN'T appear in, That's a big fat LIE, my friends.

Still, it's cool to see Prime back on civic duty. He IS a legend, after all. My 2 year old nephew knows about Optimus Prime. Score one more for the TransFans!
