lolz, you forgot g2 "windbreaker":p


...."heavyload".....

Back in 07, A friend of mine pointed this out with the first in that quote list but I didn't know it goes on and on...



It not just G1 and it's not just a coincidence.

Some of those are pretty funny. 3rd Parties get in on it too. Uranos, secret toys garden? What the heck? Or Hardbone? It's not limited to transformers either. Cracked did an article a while ago on perverted children's toys/toy names. One I recall was, "Balzac" with the handy slogan, "you can wack it, you can smack it...Balzac!" The article is here if you are interested:

Doesn't stop there either. Older Ontarians may recall A&P Meats. Their ad used the jingle, "you can't beat, A&P Meat"

Someone should have caught that.

Finally remember the Conservative Reform Alliance Party, or CRAP?

...wow

Nothing tops "Powermaster" Slapdash who can't transform until you insert Lube into him. Though I guess he's more of a bot in that configuration...

Just remembered this.

"Where no oxen are, the manger is clean."

No poop jokes.

"But much increase comes by the strength of the ox."

And there lies the brand strength. LOL
