Aha Moment: Optimus Prime
If you were a kid in the 1980’s, chances are you (or your little brother) played with Transformers. The mind-blowing thing about the action figures — if you were, say, nine — was that you could fold and twist them from a robot into an object, like a plane or a gun. This weekend, the new Transformers movie comes out, and no one is more excited than the man who owes his very name to one of the characters: Optimus Prime. Produced by Dan Kramer.
