You say the words 'Transformer Prime' to me, and I think Hasbro franchise.
Probably the most profitable thing they make - I'm not surprised they're defending it.

For once I have to say, Hasbro had no option. Seriously. I'm slightly smack gobbed that no one at Asus saw it coming when they picked the name.

I think Asus could have got away with "transformer" or "prime", but not both together. Both together does instantly make you thing of the toys/cartoons/films.

Those are two normal words out of the dictionary and could adequately be said to be describing the tablet - it transforms for a start and it is their top model.

And a tablet has nothing to do with childrens toys, so I don't see it being a conflict.

The only way that could be any better is if Asus had actually made the PCB bright yellow.
