Over the years, a number of Transformers characters have shared their names with G.I. Joe characters and vehicles, primarily due to the fact that are both made by Hasbro in the US.
(Note: This list includes a few Takara Transformers characters as well, because why the hell not?)
Similarly, several other non-G.I. Joe Hasbro lines have shared names with Transformers.
