Hasbro disavows DHS Transformers posts.

Posts from the official DHS account on X marked “Made with AI” show Optimus Prime with “ICE” and a DHS logo on him, along with the Transformers logo above “Age of Deportation.” Hasbro’s response says they were “done without permission” but didn’t mention any specific action to take them down.

A Hasbro Instagram post reading: “Optimus Prime is a beloved character who represents humility, leadership, compassion and justice. Hasbro is aware of the recent posts using his likeness. These posts were done without permission and do not represent the Transformers brand or Hasbro.”
