Not in 1986 I didn't! I'm not sure when I became aware of that, but I don't think it's immediately obvious (as evidenced by Lord_Zed's and 1AZRAEL1's comments).Quote:

+ Gusshar's Anglophone RiD name is Slapper -- and we all know what that can mean. :D
+ Night Slash Cheetor. It's Cheetor evacuating his bladder after dark!! (^O^)
+ RiD Prowl's voice actor's name is Wankus -- which _is_ actually an amalgam of the words "wanker" and "doofus"... the RiD ending credits actually list him as "Wankus", and not his real name! :D And if you think he's the first adult film entertainer to become a TF voice actor, think again. ;)
It was in the aforementioned Universe #4, which came out in newsagents here in the same month as TF: The Movie. But you're right, it's not obvious at all, particularly since it was my first exposure to the phrase 'pickup truck' and I didn't actually realise what one actually was until years later. I thought he was like a garbage truck that picked things up from the side of the road.
In Australia, he should have been called LIT. (short for utiLITy. Ute would be too obvious. :p)
Blacker from the Transformer Victory Series!
Not a Transformer, but I saw this one today and thought it amusing - Gobots 'Dumper'.

Browning. So called because he transforms into a Browning F1910 pistol. ;)Quote:
