Re: Bad tf names.
Ultra Magnus literally translates as "Beyond Great". That's even more egotistical than Optimus Prime!

Check out this story by my friend Thorn Queen, "The Name Game" for more fun with TF names!

Re: Bad tf names.
Erector is pretty bad... when you can't google it at work you know how bad it is

I don't like the names of some of the Dinobots too... "Swoop", "Snag"... they sound like something from a 3 months old "Ma ma Da da Snag Snag Swoop"

Most people don't know what you are talking about anyway Only a few know "Camshaft" is a bad name for the RX-7...

Apparently "Slag" is an actual swear word in the UK. According to my relatives over there, it means roughly about the same as "slut" over here. Which is kind of funny considering all the times the Transformers themselves use "slag" as a swear word in fiction.
