	*''~~G.I. Joe~~'' ~~Sideswipe is modeled~~ and ~~named after~~ [[~~Hasbro~~]] ~~employee~~ [[~~Andrew Frankel~~]], ~~who also worked on~~ the ~~''Transformers'' toyline... and used~~ the ~~handle "Swiper" while active in TF~~ [[~~fandom~~]]. ~~Funny how that works out~~, ~~isn~~'~~t it?~~		*Hasbro and Tonka shared certain character names when they were still in competition. Blaster, Rumble and Warpath were both ''Transformers'' and ''GoBots''. Similarly, "Scrapper" was registered as a [[trademark]] by Tomy's US branch in 1985 (waaaay before Tomy merged with Takara into [[TakaraTomy]]), the same year Hasbro released the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicon]] toy of the same name. That was possible because trademark law still worked differently back in the 1980s, and companies were less aggressive about protecting their products' names.
	*The ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)\|Beast Wars]]'' name "[[Tarantulas (BW)\|Tarantulas]]" actually came from an unproduced Joe-series "Manimals" toy, [http://www.yojoe.com/archive/unproduced/man95-5.shtml Tarantulus].		*The ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)\|Beast Wars]]'' name "[[Tarantulas (BW)\|Tarantulas]]" actually came from an unproduced Joe-series "Manimals" toy, [http://www.yojoe.com/archive/unproduced/man95-5.shtml Tarantulus].
			*Hasbro has occasionally used names from non-Hasbro toylines that were obtained via corporate buyouts and the like for ''Transformers'' characters, with the most notable examples being ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)\|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)\|Go-Bots]], named after the ''[[GoBots]]'' toyline, and ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)\|Armada]]'' [[Leader-1 (Armada)\|Leader-1]], named after the leader of the "good guy" Tonka GoBots. Along those lines, [[Shadow Striker (Universe)\|Shadow Striker's]] name came from ''[https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure?action=seriesitemlist&id=2617&figures=shadowstrikers Shadow Strikers]'', a short-lived [[Kenner]] toyline, because the trademark for "Silhouette" was unavailable at the time of her creation.
			*''G.I. Joe'' [https://www.yojoe.com/action/02/sideswipe.shtml Sideswipe] is modeled and named after [[Hasbro]] employee [[Andrew Frankel]], who also worked on the ''Transformers'' toyline... and used the handle "Swiper" while active in TF [[fandom]]. Funny how that works out, isn't it?
	*Contrary to fan rumors, the name [[Kobushi]] was NOT originally intended for an unreleased ''Xevoz'' figure. The unreleased Xevoz figure was named "Scarabushi."		*Contrary to fan rumors, the name [[Kobushi]] was NOT originally intended for an unreleased ''Xevoz'' figure.

That was possible because trademark law still worked differently back in the 1980s, and companies were less aggressive about protecting their products' names.
	*Hasbro didn't use the name "Onslaught" for 14 years following 1994's ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)\|Generation 2]]'' [[Onslaught (G1)#Generation 2\|Onslaught]]. In the meantime, [[Marvel Comics\|Marvel]] had created its own {{w\|Onslaught (comics)\|Onslaught}} character, with Toy Biz releasing their own toys of the character (the first as part of 1997's ''X-Men: Onslaught'' line, the second as the build-a-figure from 2006's ''Marvel Legends'' Series 13). By 2007, Toy Biz had lost the Marvel license to Hasbro, and the following year saw the release of ''three'' new ''Transformers'' "Onslaught" toys as part of the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)\|Universe]]'' line. While there's no concrete evidence and this might be mere coincidence, it's possible that Hasbro's lawyers wanted to avoid a trademark conflict until they had established a business relationship with Marvel again. Hasbro subsequently released a new toy of the Marvel Onslaught character with 2010's ''Handful of Heroes'' Series 2.		*Hasbro didn't use the name "Onslaught" for 14 years following 1994's ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)\|Generation 2]]'' [[Onslaught (G1)#Generation 2\|Onslaught]].

	*Furthermore, Hasbro released several other figures based on established Marvel characters as part of their ''Marvel Legends'' and ''Marvel Universe'' lines that share names with ''Transformers'' characters such as [[Venom (G1)\|Venom]], [[Spiral]], [[Cannonball (disambiguation)\|Cannonball]], [[Warpath (disambiguation)\|Warpath]], and [[Electro]]. They're listed down here because these characters are original Marvel properties and the toys are only produced and released by Hasbro under license. Coincidentally, the Marvel [[Venom (Marvel)\|Venom]] character was also part of the ''[[Transformers: Crossovers]]'' line-up, though.		*Furthermore, Hasbro released several other figures based on established Marvel characters as part of their ''Marvel Legends'' and ''Marvel Universe'' lines that share names with ''Transformers'' characters such as [[Venom (G1)\|Venom]], [[Spiral]], [[Cannonball (disambiguation)\|Cannonball]], [[Warpath (disambiguation)\|Warpath]], and [[Electro]].
