Name 12 iconic TFs character names

08. Skid-Zed

Even though it's spelt Skid-Z isn't it pronounced Skids?

I thought even thought he was fairly new you'd find a way to put Spastic on that list.

If it weren't hypenated, then it would be "Skidz" which would be pronounced like "Skids" (and actually be a more phonetically correct spelling). But as it is hyphenated, I've always pronounced it as "Skid-Zed." I suppose Americans would be calling him "Skid-Zee." What about in the Robots In Disguise dub... how did they pronounce his name there?

No matter what, I'm still calling him Skid Zed. Not to be confused with our Lord Zed.

Yeah, he hasn't been around long enough to be "iconic." Once he hits shelves then totally.

His name is pronounced Skids in RiD

Then I'd accept the pronunciation of his name as "Skidz" in the cartoon dub, but I'd still regard the toy name as "Skid-Zed." Much like how Jetfire is called "Skyfire" in the cartoon, but the toy (and every other incarnation) calls him Jetfire.

Thanks to all those who submitted (serious) entries, so far. (you can still add to this topic at any time)

Tallied up scores at this time, of the most Iconic Transformers names, according to you guys:

17 Megatron
17 Soundwave
16 Optimus (Prime/Primal)
14 Bumblebee
14 Starscream
13 Grimlock
9 Jazz
8 Shockwave
8 Unicron
7 Devastator
7 Ironhide
7 Galvatron
6 Hotrod/Rodimus
5 Dinobot
5 Ultra Magnus
3 Prowl
3 Jetfire/Skyfire
3 Wheeljack
3 Thundercracker
3 Skywarp
3 Cheetor
3 Arcee
3 Fortress Maximus

Most of those have existed throughout much of the 26 Transformers year history, with multiple toys of each, in several different sublines/series.
Some sorely need new toy versions/homages, while others are already on their way in the next 6 months.
