the sad thing is that i had a lot of these...
i am jacks waisted life.
Goose said:
I can't believe that Nexus Maximus is not even on the list, never mind he isn't number one. He shares his name with a sex toy for crying out loud!
Dacshiggy said:
Policeman Pete's head looks like that big dude from Mighty Orbots that ate everything.
Good list, though, Drill Nuts has always been a favorite of mine, right next to that racoon with the clock in his stomach and the huge ball sack.
Bruticus replied to Dacshiggy:
Heinlad is just sheer plastic awesomeness *nods*
Yoga Fitness replied to Kevin:
Agreed.

Optimal Optimus?
Kevin said:
To be fair, Nexus Maximus sounds like a proper Transformers name. Lord knows why it was also given to a sex toy.
Eh, a friend of mine has a sex toy named "Bill", which happens to be my own name. She likes to tease me about how often she uses it.
Anyone or anything can have a sex toy named after them.
suboken said:
Seeing as how he's pulling a Goatse on his chest there, Ultra Magnus has bigger issues than his name.
And Clench seems pretty accurately named, given his facial expression and posture.
fishman2020 replied to suboken:
I thought the same exact thing.
Urizen replied to fishman2020:
Actually, Clench is the one on the right.
;)
Dread said:
Coffee must not have taken effect yet. Why is Bombshell a bad name?
Not bad, but, as Wiki states it:
The term bombshell is a forerunner to the sex symbol and originally used to describe popular female sex icons.
Yes, I know what the term itself means. I just don't see how it's an unfortunate name when compared to the rest of the list. It's not like the character's name is Rim-Job or something.
UAF replied to Dread:
Oh god, Rim-Job really fits the transformer's naming scheme.
I bet that one day we'll see a Transformer by that name...
The Amazing Rando replied to UAF:
Actually Rim-job is a transformer, It came with one of those transformer mini playsets. He was the tow truck that came in the Garage playset. I actually still have this particular set. It make for some funny stories around Christmas time.
Arcane replied to UAF:
I always thought the -job suffix was more of a GIJoe thing
Garyx said:
Damn it, Breast Force! You and your deceiving name!
Doublas M2 replied to Garyx:
Japanese fan art has tried to fix that particular deception. Let me see if I can find a link...
Ah, found it, second result on Google Image Search for Breastforce (no nudity, but could be considered NSFW):
http://media.photobucket.com/image/breastforce/metalformer/Bforce01.jpg
Korbl replied to Garyx:
Actually, given that five of the six breastplates turn into mammals, and that the origin of the word mammal is mammaries.... they technically do charge into battle with mammaries all over the place.
I can also see how it may have come about fairly innocently, since they all have "breastplates" that become "beasts" I'm sure it was meant as innocent word play. However ill conceived it was...
Snakeyes22 said:
My favorite Transformer for quite a while was a Headmaster named Hard Head. At age 10, I had a kick ass, accurate costume(The best in the whole school!) that my dad made out of cardboard for this obscure character nobody recognized...and had to explain the name to just about everyone.
The perfect age for some dick jokes. But kids tended to be in too much awe, gawking from behind their shitty smock/mask combos.
Kevin replied to Snakeyes22:
That is awesomeness. Much better than the crappy, store-bought, cheap plastic Optimus Prime costume I had.
Snakeeyes22 replied to Kevin:
I also had a pretty great Hot Rod/Rodimus costume the previous year, also Dad-built. it would seem I was way into the dick-themed characters.
Found an old pic where I was wearing an Optimus costume at age 6 that he built too. i think it was before the cartoon aired, so it looks like the toy and box art. Damn, I was king-robogeek as a kid.
Skirkster said:
The best part of this article? The tag "immaturity".
THE PR0F3550R said:
*LMAO* DRILLNUTS *LMAO*
demoncat said:
seeing this list has me thinking that when hasbro named some of these characters they did not bother to ask their japan counter parts their meaning not relising that they were winding up making the line a litle perverted as for drill nuts the name should answer what he or she does to his enemies.
Ginsu Shark replied to demoncat:
iirc, Drill Nuts there is actually the Japanese version of the toy. America's had the considerably less hilarious name of Drill Bit.
This is true of Powerhug and I think Gas Skunk as well (whose US versions were named Retrax and... I believe Stinkbomb).
demoncat replied to Ginsu Shark:
still find it itneresting japan acutlly managed to name a transformer drill nut for if hasbro actully used that name for the thing some pc parent would have a fit and be screaming that transformers are trying to harm kids
Ginsu Shark replied to demoncat:
This is the same country that named a Zoid "War Dick", after all...
Carl said:
How about "Side Burn?"

Dacshiggy said:
How is it Hasbro hasn't used the name Skidmarks yet?
JayT replied to Dacshiggy:
The only reason Hasbro never named a Transformer Skidmark is because they saved that one for GI Joe:
http://www.yojoe.com/action/88/skidmark.shtml
☆☆☆ jaganar ☆☆☆ replied to JayT:
well in their defense , it had to be a JOE with a lame Codename like Skidmark.
we got , metalhead, snowserpents, Zartan (tarzan if your cool) and lord knows about the rest of the kick ass Cobra toys .
@ Retarded XD i couldnt help myself but think of the Tropic thunder Skit

jag
badd ass list TR ^_^
Farglesnarf said:
I lol'd at your comment on Drill Nuts...then I got a mental image and stopped laughing. O_O
scott hall said:
wow this list has a little bit of everything!
it has a little bit of humor mostly, a very little bit.
Bill said:
this whole thing is one big WHACKITY SHMACKITY DOO
EL FRANCO said:
What no SEASPRAY?!!!
I remember getting lots of snickers for that Transformers name!
Meat In A Roll said:
At least in here in the UK, Arcee. I get it meant to be R.C., as in Remote Control, but I'm sure you lot have watched enough British sitcom to know that 'Arse' in the British equivalent of 'Ass'. When you're a kid and your mum's just got you the video of the Transformers Movie you've been desperate to see, it's hard to explain why there's a new character you've never seen before called Arse-y.
NameofRain replied to Meat In A Roll:
ROTFL that is AWESOME.
Bingo said:
Breast Force? Ha ha. This name is clearly the winner.
Decoy Brian said:
at least the other Seekers have better sounding names
(Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet, Dirge, Sunstorm, Acid Storm)
TS said:
Thundercracker was my favorite jet, but his name sounds more like he should be a fat 1970s trucker from the deep south who's always on the CB.
I didn't think TR would come up with any worse than Erector, but... damn. (And Erector is worse than Nightbeat.)
Best line (among many):
"Hey, what's Huffer doing out in the garage?" Lol.
choHIlqoq said:
Still better than Bayformers. =p
Tentakilla said:
I hereby claim "Tentakilla" as my rap star name.
Karma said:
I demand that you remove Ultra Magnus from this list. You clearly don't appreciate the awesomeness of that name.
It's almost as awesome as Starscream.
soj replied to Karma:
I second this statement.
It makes me smile every time someone calls him Screamer.
Arn!e said:
I've always been fond of Slapdash and Lube, myself.
Nick Danger said:
Giggle Factor of over 9000
Ginsu Shark said:
Spealing of unfortunate names, how about the Japanese Transformers with names no one has any idea how to spell? Like Deathsaurus/Dessaras/etc or the Japanese version of the fuzor Injector (whose Japanese name is a jumble of "r"s that no one even seems to be able to come up with a coherent romanization of)...
T-cake said:
Erector isn't number 1?!
Matt said:
Ultra Magnus
My brother's name is Magnus.
Black Snow said:
Wow, fart jokes? Really? When did "Topless Robot" start employing elementary school children?
Jarga the Hutt replied to Black Snow:
Since the first day....you're new here aren't you?
Radlum said:
When I was a kid I had the Breast Force transformers; back then I didn't know its name but now it kind of weird; it's sad that I lost most of the pieces besides the left leg.
Ladydchaos said:
what about RC and Slag?
Ginsu Shark replied to Ladydchaos:
Slag gets double points, his name's an expletive in-universe too!
Necronomic Forecast said:
I don't get that Huffer joke...
Kevin replied to Necronomic Forecast:
Look up "huffing." Just don't get any ideas...
noirakita said:
Okay, being a girl, I'm not well versed in all things Transformer, but seriously, the ones with the everyday names? Alan? Joe? At least Drillnuts sounds robotic. What the hell was going on there? are their stories behind those transformers?
Vrahno said:
IMO, nothing beats the official name they gave Breakdown for the original release of the Marvel comics in Hungary: Vibrator. I wonder if the translator had any idea...
rickicker said:
DRILLNUTS gives BREASTFORCE a RIM-JOB!!!
Stop me now before I make a Porn Movie out of that.
John Johnson said:
I was surprised when this list was actually funny. The Megaman boss names list blew, but I got a few good laughs out of this one.
