Millions of shoppers are eagerly coming through Amazon looking for Prime Day deals - but it bears remembering that, in the geek world, the word "Prime" has other significance. Long before Amazon made shopping an exercise for your thumbs on phone screens, the world "Prime" was most famously associated with the greatest leader in history: Transformers' Optimus Prime!

In honor of "Prime Day" Transformers fans have taken to social media in attempt to create their own trending topic - one that leans a bit closer to the Robots in Disguise. Check out the posts honoring Optimus Prime that are currently popping up on Twitter alongside the best Prime Day deals:

The Sick Irony

The sick irony in all this, is that of all the many fine deals that Amazon is offering on Prime Day, not one applies to Transformers merchandise! That needs to be corrected by next year!
