I beleive Optimus Prime (Transformers) was red, white, and blue. I wonder if that motivated them to make the "Optimus" red, white, and blue...

Yeah colors are getting harder with all the rocks out there.
Optimus is very intriguing and the HS well should be like butter..

Optimus specs are nearly identical to the (I assume outgoing)Marvel Pearl and even has the same coverstock.  I will be very interested to see how the new tri-sphere core differentiates from the Centripetal's ball motion.

It rolls like the Byte.  Storm needs to do something other than just change core shapes (which is really just marketing in the first place). 
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?

The new movie is coming out, so it makes sense.

Whether you like it or not, they are in the business of selling balls, which they obviously do quite well.

There stuff clearly rolls well across multiple styles and surfaces, so if you don't like what they are doing, just don't buy/sell their stuff.  You will still be in the minority.

Lol I'm not saying it doesn't work, Storm is arguably the best company out there right now.  I'm just saying that the R2- coverstock has been around for a long time.  The Hyroad name is pretty played out.  A lot of their releases are getting really repetitive.  Now it's new stuff that acts like the old stuff, and the old stuff is really good, so that's why people aren't complaining much, but I've had several people comment recently that they keep releasing the same type of stuff.  Yeah it's getting that way across the board in bowling, I don't think ball technology really has anywhere else to go, but when you keep a ball like the Hyroad in production for as long as they have, that sends a couple messages.  Number one it says that if a 5 year old ball is better than anything else they've been putting out, where is technology really going?  It's a simple ball with a simple core, why pay more money for anything else?  The Hyroad will also work on the majority of conditions the majority of bowlers see. 

Storm definitely has the corner on the market, I just worry that they're milking the same cow too long . .
