New Hasbro Trademark: Prime?

Not Optimus Prime, not Transformers Prime. Just "Prime." In a bold move, Hasbro is attempting to secure the exclusive trademark rights to use the word "Prime" in reference to "toy robots convertible to other visual toy forms." Are more Primes on the horizon? Is this a pre-emptive move to make sure nobody can Machine Robot Rescue them on a key term in the modern Transformers mythos? No way to tell, but keep reading to see the details of the filing by way of Transformers@TheMoon!

For those who don't know or may have forgotten, Hasbro trademarked the term "Machine Robot Rescue" in the early 2000s in order to prevent its use or the use of similar names by Bandai in the Machine Robo revival, Machine Robo Rescue. Nor could Bandai use Machine Robo's previous US name, Go-Bots - because Hasbro owns that too!
