Really? With all the frivolous lawsuits that are won daily. You think this is stupid? Wow. I cannot help thinking of the toys and movies when I hear the name of this tablet. I know I can't be the only one. That's why Hasbro doesn't like it. I must agree with this lawsuit.

I'm glad this was the out come. Too many people and companies get away with these ridiculous lawsuits.

Yes it is stupid, dumb. All they hope for is to cash in fast without lifting a finger...
Sure, you think of the toys when you hear the name...If anything, they make them free publicity....Or you tell me that you'll buy the tablet only because its name is associated with some kiddie toy, and you secretly hope your laptop will transform in some dark shiny bumblebee...And while you stare at it with immense hope, waiting day after day to become some alien entity, nothing happens...So you decide to sue Asus...

Actually I think Hasbro was right on this one. The name has been clearly taken from Transformers.
