I was about the argue that Ultra Magnus never successfully unleashed the power of the Matrix, hence he was never transformed by it. But Minimus Ambus^Optimus Prime opened the Matrix at the end of Season 3 which covered the Earth and eradicated the Hate Plague, and he didn't change so... there goes that theory.

Someone needs to make a parody where Optimus Prime's chest is opened and they find the two decayed corpses of Diaclone pilots.

That made me Moist.

Then there's the live action movies where...
* Brawl is called Devastator (which could've been corrected in the subtitles for the DVD/BR release, but wasn't)... and Devastator is called Devastator?
* Scavenger and Rampage are called Wheelbot and Skipjack respectively
* Michael Bay always calls Scorponok "Scorponox."
* Scorn is called Spike
