Yup. I believe IDW's ongoing G1 uses "Breakdown" rather than "Brakedown." Also I think there's different laws for different kinds of toys too. For example, for action figures like the TF movie toys and Animated Hasbro had to use the name "Autobot Jazz," but for Alternators (which may also count as a miniature car replica) Hasbro were unable to use that name so they used "Meister" instead.

didn't they call alt Jazz Meister cos' they didn't want another Autobot [Blank] in the line?

Yep...Originally Posted by Gutsman Heavy
Due to trademarking, Jazz toys are generally prefixed with the word "Autobot", to reinforce Hasbro's rights to the name in the "Toys and Sporting Goods" trademark category. However, Aaron Archer has stated that since Hasbro had already used the "Autobot" prefix for the two previous Alternators figures, "Autobot Hound" and "Autobot Tracks", they instead elected to use the Japanese name rather than repeat the same pattern with "Autobot Jazz".

I'm really liking these designs, I think the way they've been done given them a solid, rugged look. Looking forward to this game a lot!
