    How about go and away?



    BM Thrust started it, so Thrusters?

    I vote for Wheelbots.

    Upstanding members of society. Don't demean their plight with curt little labels.

    I think Wheelformers is the most appropriate

    We had Bayformers, Cometformers so why not keep up with the tradition?

    Its catchy.

    You'll hear it in a conversation like this:

    "so which one of these wheelformers is Sideswipe?"
    or
    "wow, there seem to be a lot of wheelformers in this movie"

    I don't recall anyone using the term "cometformers" for the protoform TFs.

    they were typically called by two very different, vulgar names. that I won't repeat here.
