    I don't know if anyone else has seen this but... in an apparent homage to an old G1 episode (ok, maybe not), Optimus dunks a basketball into a hoop, shattering it utterly.

    It showed up during the first few minutes of the 4th quarter of Game 5 for the NBA Finals just now, so I don't have video of it unfortunately. But, I lol'd :lol 

    EDIT: Found a really crappy quality version of it, I'll update if I can something better.

    I saw it out of the corner of my eye when my band was playing out on Saturday night. Does anyone have the video posted anywhere?
