For Turbofire/Hotrider and Zap/Windbreaker, heck, any 1993 toy whose name was diffrent between Europe and the US, which shoudl be the primary name? More people probably know the character by the US name, but the European release came first. The Colorchangers are even more complicated:

US Drench, an Autobot, uses a Decepticon's name, UK Deluge's mold, and UK Aquaspeeder Jetstorm's specs US Gobots, Autobot, uses UK Jetstorm's mold and UK Deluge's specs US Deluge, Decepticon, uses an Autobot's name, UK Speedstream's mold, and UK Hydradread's specs. US Jetstorm, Decepticon, uses an Autobot's name, UK Aquafend's mold, and UK Drench's specs. --FortMax 15:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I believe we're going with American names first as a rule. For example, Stepper's entry will be called Ricochet, despite the former name having about fifteen years on the latter. --ItsWalky 15:46, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Although I generally agree with the "US names first" rule, I would think that the 15 years would be more than enough reason to make Stepper an exception.... (are there any other cases like this, where we'd have trouble drawing the line if we go this route?)--G.B. Blackrock 16:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
