    Default If Cybertron had a phonebook which names would be common?

    I bet many a page of that book would be devoted to -Blast, -Burst, -Storm -Wave and -Wing. What do you guys think.

    Jet, Knock, Prime, Black, Wild, Over, Bomb, Fire, Tron, Bot, Thunder, Grand, Master, Wind, Night, High, Con, Roll, Shot, Hot, Sun, Tail, Iron, Jack, Land, Side, Road, Sky, Cruncher, Long, Metro, Wheel, Power, Rat, Scrap, Red, Sea, Crusher, Strong, Terror, Bolt, War and Prowl (Prowl's just a really common Cybertronian name, like Mirage.) It would be interesting if any of those names on Cybertron shared a meaning with any common Human prefixes/suffixes. Probably not 'son of' though.

    (And you could pretty much combine just about any two of the above and generate a random Transformer name.)

    Oh definitely, "bolt" is up there in the phonebook with Smith and Lee.

    The 'Nemesis' and 'Dark' clans would have good representation in such a book
