The fact is that Octone is far more relevant - being Octane's Japanese name - than Tankor. Especially when Hasbro has slapped that name on about 8 toys in the last decade.

I'm not saying Octone is fantastic, but it sounds much better than the now generic and cheesy Tankor.
I'm more inclined to use english language trademarks of words that have been changed to sound more toyetic than engrish of western words, or japanese pronounciation of western words.
