Pretty sure that is just here, and only a couple of posters.
Kinda cool, though.

Sherman really changed his twitter handle to Optimus Prime

Sherman also provided the voice-over work on Michael Bay's Transformers 2. Not sure why the nickname took so long to come around, seemed obvious.

Sherman was actually the inspiration for the original character in the 80's cartoon series.

Sherman needs to check himself, because this is just ignorant. I'm embarrassed that a player on our team would make this mistake.
Megatron killed Optimus Prime.

Wha?? But Optimus is the good guy.
Are you saying that evil will prevail?

Per Wikipedia, Optimus Prime is "secretly plagued by self-doubt and a conflicted sense of pacifism that often makes him an extremely reluctant warrior."
Doesn't sound as though sherman really thought this thing through too much.
Maybe the John Wayne handle was already taken.

Sherman came up with it, or at least someone we don't know did, in any case. It's not a .net thing.

I was calling him OptimusSherm in some thread about a nickname for him earlier this summer I believe it was, so Iam taking full responsibility for this!

In the real Transformers, Megatron kills Optimus. He is later defeated by Rodimus Prime (of whom we shall not speak).
So, yes, I'm saying that Sherman has picked a metaphor in which he is doomed to failure.
"Megatron's only weakness... is cream cheese, in Season 2 (part2 for dvd owners) where Tracks gets smashed up and that guy fixes him up episode. near the end, Megatron picks up the little guy and when Megatron is bartering with the Autobots, the kid just flips open Megatron's chest and sprays cream cheese in there, then Megatron just falls over. I was laughing incredibly hard, but then a sudden depression fell upon me as now one of my favourite villians just fell to a product by Kraft."
Sherman is now "Cream Cheese"
