Would you confuse an Asus Prime Transformer laptop with Optimus Prime leader of the Autobots? One is a rather swish laptop that “transforms” into a tablet the other a Decepticon destroyer (play spot the difference above) – the legal bods at Hasbro do have concern, have probably noticed that inboxes in the department are a little sparse and so have challenged the Taiwanese computer giant demanding damages and an injunction on sales of the product until an agreement is reached between them both.
