    But other than that grimlock sounds perfect for the look of that truck.

    I'd vote for Grimlock. He's silver with gold trim, he's tough as nails, he's cute and loveable. Sure he wasn't a truck originally, but there aren't too many robotic t-rexes around to name. Plus, it's a pretty well-known name even among casual fans, and is also (IMO) a charmingly silly name.

    Second choice would be Ironhide or Trailbreaker... two tough truck dudes.

    Incidentally, if you want to name something Arcee, I'd go with your bike. It's a spitting image of the Scout-sized Arcee figure that came out with the movie. Linking to megatroptimus' review thread:

    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=132860&highlight=arcee

    Although I'm guessing your bike already has a name, too.

    Good luck, and let us know what you pick!

    (Incidentally, it goes without saying that whatever you end up naming your truck, you have to get a tiny figure of that character and hang it from your rearview mirror.) :)

    Call it "non-transformable drone with a pilot". Or call it "Bitch".

    You have to name it like they would name the toys. It would be "MUDSLINGER" or something descriptive. Unfortunately I didn't name my Camaros my friends did. The Z28 is Rad Racer, plate said RAD RACR but now says ZN RED. My friends call the SS "the Monster", so my plate says MONSSTR. My beater is called and the plate says DA BEATR.

    "Bluestreak often talks incessantly and inanely. Lightens the situation for all Autobots with his good-natured manner. Despite formidable weaponry and blazing speed, he hates war. Haunted by memory of Decepticons destroying his home-city. Fires bombs up to 8.3 miles and lightning-like 80,000 volt beam up to 12 miles of limited accuracy. Often inhibited by his disdain for combat." from http://tfu.info/1984/Autobot/Bluestreak/bluestreak.htm

    Don't think "level-headed" fits too well... "brave" might be a stretch. ;) 

    I think Grimlock is the way to go. Why would you name a TRUCK after a car transformer? Naming a truck after a T-Rex is SO much more appropriate. :confused2

    Ha ha, yes, i read that same thing on wikipedia but thought I smooth it out a bit...

    But yes, i should have written: Pacifist, cool, brave nevertheless, friendly, guy next door.
