What are you looking at, ya hockey puck?

Mr. Potato Head is not your ordinary Earth tuber. He can adopt a menagerie of disguises and has taken the form of several Transformers!

Potato Head's true allegiances are a mystery. Though some have claimed that this mysterious spud holds good intentions, Potato Head has been known to freely abet known villains such as Cobra Commander and Megatron. It is advised to keep your eyes peeled for this tater-ous character when he's around.

Vector Prime vouched for the character of Optimash Prime, noting that he would always listen to anyone and that he was to look out for. Ask Vector Prime

When Worlds Collide

[edit]

When Cobra Commander and Megatron stole the Matrix of Leadership, Mr. Potato Head aided the two villains as they made a getaway, pointing them to a portal that led to Hanazuki's moon. When Optimus Prime picked up reinforcements, Mr. Potato Head prepared to battle Hanazuki before the children controlling the adventure were called to dinner. Potato Head hoped that they weren't having mashed potatoes. When Worlds Collide

Commercial appearances

[edit]

Mr. Potato Head was tuning up a familiar-looking truck in his garage when a transmission came over the radio, telling all Autobots to roll out. In response, the truck split into pieces and combined with Mr. Potato Head to form Optimash Prime! He got a bit more "mashed-up" winding up with a Bumblebee helmet and a Starscream chest plating. When he was finally ready to go, his "Optimus Prime" legs sped off without him! Mixable, Mashable Heroes commercial
