By Dana McKay Apr 8, 2021 A Georgetown man says he is hiring an attorney to fight the Old Georgetown Board over the Transformers statues in front of his home on Prospect Street. Dr. Newton Howard, a scientist at Georgetown University, put his Optimus Prime and Bumblebee statues outside during the pandemic to give kids walking by something to see and talk about. "I felt that in the times that we’re in – being incubated in your own house and what not – it would be nice to have an iconic thing for the kids to enjoy as they walk by and what not," Howard told Fox 5 DC.
