Transformer Robot/Famous Toy Mash-up

After they released "Darth Tater" it was only a matter of time before Hasbro would get around to making a Mr. Potato Head and Optimius Prime transformer robot mash-up. And in their typical punny style, the new toy is named "Optimash Prime". It looks pretty cute, but we really yearn for the old days when we actually used a real potato body.

By the way, on restaurant menus translated into English here in Japan we sometimes see a "smashed potatos" side dish. We're sure Optimash Prime would do exactly that to any of his opponents in very short order.

We're surprised they didn't do something with the "Transformers, more than meets the 'eye'..." angle though.
