Optimash Prime....WTF!!!



What the hell were they thinking when they made this? Marketing thought process; "Let's take the most beloved icon of the Transformers franchise and lets make a Mr. Potato version of him." Seriously they're smoking some crack when they made this. I hate when they take cool characters and totally ruin their image. I like to call it the "Disney Effect" or the "Disnefication" of iconic figures so then it can be mass-marketed and sold to everyone and anyone. Hey grandma look what I got you, a Star Wars Light Saber walking stick. She'll be the hippest grandma in her 55 and over adult community. Look at the Optimash Prime box closely (oh man it hurts even saying that), its for kids ages 2+. Okay!!!! What 2 to 5 year old is even going to go watch the new Transformers movie. The movie is rated PG-13 and with the Pussification of America, I really doubt that parents are going to let their kids even go watch this movie. So making this stupid potato toy makes no sense what soever.
