Nickname for supercon Optimus Prime from the Transformers series Armada. Named Bendy Prime because the original version of Optimus Prime in this series was brick-like and unposable. This version had much more articulation and in the collector realm naming it Bendy Prime saves on any confusion as to which version is being discussed.
Person 1: Do you have Optimus Prime from Armada?
Person 2: Which one? I have a few...
Person 1: Ya know, Bendy Prime.

Get the bendy prime mug.Commonly considered as one of the most influential metal bands of all time, Judas priest was created in 1968 with members Al Atkins (vocals), K.K. Downing (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Ian Hill (Bass, Backing Vocals)and John Pattridge (drumkit). Originally their songs were blues based, though as time passed and members were chopped and changed the band adopted their own genre of heavy metal.
By 1989 their current members had joined the group including Rob Halford (Vocals), K.K. Downing (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Glen Tipton (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Ian Hill (Bass, Backing Vocals)and Scott Travis (Drumkit). Recording twelve studio and two concert albums to large degrees of financial success, Judas Priest has sold well over 30 million albums worldwide.
Late in 1991 Lead Singer Rob Halford left the group and went on to form a metal band of his own by the name of Fight. Rumours had started as early as September 1991 as to his sexuality and the tensions within the group. Fight produced three albums, combining the classical genre of metal with the new edgier style of popular band Pantera. Halford officialy left Judas Priest in 1993.
After a 12 year break up, Judas Priest reformed in 2003 performing a live tour through Europe in 2004. The band continues to perform globally even today.
Interesting facts to be noted about Judas Priest:
1. Rob Halford revealed himself to be homosexual in 1998 in a interview on MTV. This came as little surprise to band members as by that time, the rumours had spread worldwide.
2. The band Judas Priest was involved in a subliminal message trial. The following is an article from the site Wikipedia.
In summer 1990, the band was involved in a civil action that alleged they were responsible for the suicide attempts in 1985 of 20-year old James Vance and 19-year old Ray Belknap in Reno, Nevada, USA.7 On December 23, 1985 Vance and Belknap got intoxicated then went to a playground at a Lutheran church in Reno. Belknap shot a 12 gauge shotgun under his chin dying instantly, and Vance followed, but survived with a severely disfigured face. He died approximately three years later due to the effect of his painkillers.8
The boys' parents and their legal team alleged that a subliminal message of "do it" had been included in the song "Better By You, Better Than Me" from the Stained Class album (actually a cover of a Spooky Tooth number), and that the command triggered the suicide attempt.7 The suit was eventually dismissed on its merits, as the band had pointed out that if you were to play any song backwards and tell someone there was a message, it'll sound as though there actually is.7 One of the defense witnesses, Dr Timothy E. Moore, wrote an article for Skeptical Inquirer chronicling the trial.7
The trial was covered in the 1991 documentary Dream Deceivers: The Story Behind James Vance Vs. Judas Priest. In the documentary Halford commented that if they wanted to insert subliminal commands in their music, killing their fans would be counterproductive, and they would prefer to insert the command "Buy more of our records". Regarding the prosecution's assertions Halford pointed out that "do it" had no direct message, commenting "Well...do what? Mow the lawn? Have a drink? Watch some television? Wh-wha...do what?"
In popular culture comedian Bill Hicks used a similar notion in one of his stand-up routines, asking "What musician wants his audience dead?" He further performed an apocryphal sketch in a British accent mimicking Judas Priest being "fucking sick of their immense wealth, power, and fame" and coming up with the subliminal message as a solution to their problems. Also comedian Denis Leary also commented on the trial on his album No Cure For Cancer, saying that heavy metal bands should put more subliminal messages in their records: "Kill the band, kill your parents, then kill yourself".
Jay Leno also mocked the Judas Priest trial, in a somewhat milder form than the comics above-referenced, by saying that Judas Priest forward, sings about cannibalism and devil worship...."So what's it gonna say backwards that it doesn't say forwards? 'Go to church with your family?'"

To summarise, Judas Priest rocks hard. It is in my opinion that they are one of, if not, the most influential metal bands of all time. The sexuality of Rob Halford does not phase me when i say "Listen to Judas Priest, They Rock"
Thanks go to Wikipedia for their article on the Subliminal Message Trial. I suggest you read it, some of the things said are pretty funny. (Hehe disfigured)

Get the Optimus Prime mug.A very highly advanced sexual manuever. Starting in laying down doggy style, man on top, you slowly as a team move to crouching doggy style. Once that has been completed in one swift motion she swings her leg around, while insertion is still taking place, into a crabwalk position. This is not for the weak of heart or decepticons.
Hannah: What happend last night?
Brent: You kept asking me to fuck you optimus prime style.
Hannah: Oh. That's why Willie kept saying "autobots roll out!" while I was leaving this morning.

Get the Optimus Prime Style mug.StarfishPrime is a postmodernistic rock band from Cologne.Their sound is influenced by David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Can and also many modern acts such as The Mars Volta, TV on The Radio and Circa Survive .At the same time they use a lot of balkan like grooves yet definitely create their own, unique style. Especially the color and usage of the voice is pure authenticity and melody at its best.
