We all know who Megatron is. He is a pass-catching robot who has traveled through time and space in search of world domination. You know, Calvin Johnson. The Lions star wide receiver earned his nick-name early in his career because of his skills and success. But now, he has an arch-enemy ready to square off against him. In preparation (and yes, a simple move like this falls in the preparation category) for the Seattle Seahawks match-up against the Lions in Detroit on Sunday, Richard Sherman changed his name on Twitter to Optimus Prime.
Sherman will go head-to-head with Johnson on Sunday. The Seahawks cornerback has been successful at defending the pass this season. He has 11 passes defended this season. He appears to be healthy, and Johnson appears to be healthy, so the match-up should be a good one. Johnson is battling a knee issue, but he is listed as probable for the intergalactic clash of good vs. evil.

Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports caught the change and pointed out Johnson's response to Sherman's Twitter handle.
Faith takes you everywhere you want to go, continue to have it and there are no limits on how much you can accomplish.
