I've thought about the Transformers being an MMO, and one question that always came to mind was "How many registered and trademarked Transformer character names will be created as NPCs or simply blocked by Hasbro from allowing players to create characters with those names?"

As I understand, there are lots of Transformer characters... so the list will be ... huge.

It might end up like this...

[Enter your character name]: Optimus Prime [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Megatron [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Soundwave [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Starscream [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Ironhide [ENTER]
[Error]: Name disallowed
[Enter your character name]: Iron-hide [ENTER]
[Error]: Name too similar to disallowed name
[Enter your character name]: Iron Hide [ENTER]
