Optimus Prime Sings Discovery Channel Commercial (Updated)

In a rather odd combination, Optimus Prime "sings" briefly (at :34 second point) of the commercial "The World Is Just Awesome" promoting the Discovery Channel while over a scene from the first movie. I try to never miss Mythbusters (which is shown just before Prime). (from TFFINO via TFormers)



Update: It turns out the reason Prime was probably part of the commercial is the recent business deal between Discovery Communications and Hasbro to launch a channel sometime next year. "The rebranded network is
scheduled to premiere in late 2010. The network will feature content from Hasbro’s rich portfolio of entertainment and educational properties, and content from Discovery’s extensive library of award-winning children’s educational programming, as well as programming from third-party producers." Thanks to Katie for the link.

  1. That is funny. How did they get Optimus to do that? Better than that Letterman fiasco anyway.

    Hasbro and Discovery are joining together to make a tv channel (together).

    Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I meant why is Optimus in a discovery channel in the first place? Course I know it is a voice over.

  6. I want to know the same thing. It does seem random.

    People around here can be such jerks. Like, is it necessary to embarass yourself with a crappy attitude?

  7. Random, yes, and amusing too, but I'm surprised no one's yet mentioned the best part: the fact that TF got included in a recitation of things that are awesome. :D

  10. Makes me wonder if the new channel Hasbro and Discovery are starting will have a Transformers show on it. Maybe something new in the works?
