Worst name EVER?

[SilverDragon]

Simple: which Transformer character has the worst name? Which ones make you wonder 'How on EARTH did they think that was a good name?'

I nominate Erector.

[Tober]

Decepticharge.

At least Erector has some comic value. :D

[heroic_decepticon]

I can think of a few: Big Daddy, Slow Poke, Hubs (sounds like a teddy bear), Aquafend, Road Pig, Space Case. I can't say for certain which I think is the worst, but uninspiring names like Slow Poke or Road Pig would surely turn me off buying the toy.

[Paulbot]

W.A.R.S.

His full name is "Wicked Attack Recon Sportscar"!

[Pulse]

Big Daddy

What? Big Daddy is the greatest name in the entire TF Universe... :D

Scattor. The only thing it can possibly mean is that he deficates. A kids' toy named by someone with either the sense of humour of a ten year old, or the vocab of one.

Nothing else comes _close_ in my opinion.

At least Erector is a crane... and can erect things. Prowl 2, R.E.V., X-Brawn, Mega-Octane, Tankor are all pretty bad (hmmm... most of those are RiD) but aren't _offensive_ and _inappropriate_ for a toy marketed to children.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Anything thats an acronym or hyphenated.

It's just that a vowel problem; if his name was "Scatter" it'd be fine.

I've always disliked Movor.

W.A.R.S or any acronym name also rates a big no in my book.

[Borgeman]

Optimus Prime definately.....

George

It's just that a vowel problem; if his name was "Scatter" it'd be fine.
But a vowel change can make a world of difference! The first vowel in "Shothole" to make it into something extremely inappropriate! :D (although it's probably still pronounced that way in NZ :p)

According to the now defunct Trannies Awards, the one name that Transfans kept on voting as the worst name year after year was Windbreaker. :)

"Bad dog!!" http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/transformers/images/thumb/9/92/G1_ZapWindbreaker_toy.jpg/150px-G1_ZapWindbreaker_toy.jpg

[Me Grimlock!]

Gotta agree - Windbreaker for the win!

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I always laughed at Dreadwind!:D

Hey I still do!

[King Atlas]

I agree with Pulse, Big Daddy is a pimpin' name! Lugnut sounds dopey but it doesnt really annoy me. Tankor is probably the name that I dislike the most. Also Nemesis prime is so overused now, it's starting to irritate me a little. It's just doesn't sound right, maybe it's the nemesis part. Why couldn't they stick with Scourge or even Black Convoy? He was such a bada$$ in RID.

TC: Did you ever write into Dread Tidings and tell him that?! He'd probably shoot you down for being a silly "hume" (as he calls all humans) ;)

LOL No, I am not crazy enough to tell a (large or any for that matter) Decepticon that his name makes me think of farts.;)
