    Default Worst name EVER?

    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.

    Decepticharge.

    At least Erector has some comic value.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    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.

    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.

    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.
