Aha Moment: Optimus Prime

A child of the ’80s, Scott Edward Nall never really grew out of “The Transformers” — the cartoon where robots changed into guns and planes. Transformers influenced Nall so much, that as a man, he decided to literally become one of his Transformer heroes and legally renamed himself Optimus Prime. Produced by Dan Kramer.
