Revision as of 14:03, 2 March 2010
Over the years, a number of Transformers characters have shared their names with various characters and vehicles in other Hasbro lines.
This list includes a few Takara Transformers characters as well, because why the hell not?
Shared names with G.I. Joe
Shared names with other Hasbro lines
Similarly, several other non-G.I. Joe Hasbro lines over the years have shared names with Transformers characters.
Trivia
- 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?
- The Beast Wars name "Tarantulas" actually came from an unproduced Joe-series "Manimals" toy, Tarantulus.
- Contrary to fan rumors, the name Kobushi was NOT originally intended for an unreleased Xevoz figure. The unreleased Xevoz figure was named "Scarabushi."
- 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 Generation 2 Go-Bots, named after the Tonka GoBots toyline, and Armada Leader-1, named after the leader of the "good guy" Tonka GoBots.
- Hasbro and Tonka also shared certain GoBots names when they were still in competition. Blaster, Rumble and Warpath were both Transformers and GoBots.
