"An Army National Guardsman, who was called to serve in the Persian Gulf, has legally changed his name to Optimus Prime, the robotic good-guy warrior from the popular 1980s cartoon series "The Transformers."
"I got a letter from a general at the Pentagon when the name-change went through, and he says it was great to have the employ of the commander of the Autobots in the National Guard," said Prime, an Ohio native who switched his name on his 30th birthday.
Even though Prime has faced some teasing from friends, his new name is on his driver's license, military ID and uniform." NYPOST.COM World News: WEIRD BUT TRUE
