CUYAHOGA FALLS -- The Cuyahoga Falls man who changed his name to Optimus Prime, a Transformers toy and leader of the Autobots, has been granted leave from active duty in the Gulf. In addition to a death in the family, a fire destroyed the house where he planned to move.
"The Red Cross message came through and they got me right out of there," said Prime. "I only had a half hour to pack to come home. I was on a plane back the same day and it was about a 28 hour plane ride to get back here."
Prime's girlfriend and four children lived in the house that was destroyed. He'll be home until Sunday.
If you would like to help Optimus, please call Vanessa Martin at (330) 990-6233.

Since he doesn't seem to have very good coverage, perhaps his fire insurance agent was a Decepticon.
