This was the scene last time the Nirvana covered the Optimus Prime story (November 2008):

Optimus Prime, recognized leader of the Autobots was found hung from the Nirvana boys’ bunkbed at 6:02 p.m., Sunday, November 9, 2008.
There was no indication of
foul play.
The homeowner, Texasholly reports that the scene has remained untouched awaiting the Major Case Squad’s further evaluation.
Texasholly went on to say that neither she, nor anyone else living in the house has any affiliation with the Decepticons.
Where is he now?
It appears that Optimus Prime may have had help in faking his death in an attempt to relieve himself of the pressures of Autobot leadership.
Despite the grizzly details from his November 2008 “accident”, he made a full recovery and has been living under the Autobot/Decepticon radar.
He now resides happily in the suburbs of Texas with a colony of faux-snakes.

Your house is scaaarrry! I just might keep my distance from Texas after that shot.
You know, I thought I saw this on the local news. This picture is far more graphic though, robots everywhere are hiding in fear and shuddering today.
How happy am I that I have no idea what any of you are talking about? Know if it was 10 years ago and the topic was Pokemon . . .!
NOOOOOOO! Not Optimus Prime! The horror! Will Bumble Bee take over?
A real loss.
I’m so sorry, I won’t be able to make it to the wake; my oldest son is too deep in mourning. I have to be here for him. Maybe another time, under more pleasant circumstances? I’m only a few hours away, after all …

Oh, hells belles. Poor transformers. Jojo (the clown) met a similar fate round here.
You don’t wanna see what I caught the G.I. Joes doing a few years ago. Disturbing stuff, yo!
Looks like a suicide to me. I’d say another victim of this economy. So many bots out of work.
I found some Barbies bound and gagged over here. Gosh, I hope these crimes are not connected.
