    Fortress Maximus.

    Just saying it is epic. The epic toy is just more gravy as far as I'm concerned.

    Fortress...Maximus.

    Just epic.

    Some of the classic "big gun" great ones:

    Ironhide
    Ratchet
    Starscream
    Skywarp
    Hound
    Optimus Prime
    Megatron
    Shockwave
    Grimlock
    Inferno
    Cyclonus
    Scourge
    Ultra Magnus
    Rumble
    Ravage
    Frenzy
    Dirge

    As for bad names, I'm not a big fan of names that end with "er." Just sounds kinda silly to me... Cliffjumper, Sunstreaker, Roadbuster, Windcharger, etc. Ironically, my favorite Seeker is Thundercracker, but I think his name is pretty awful... I wish way back in '84 they had gone with either Thunderclash or Thunderwing. But it's too late, he's stuck with a silly name forever.

    Powerglide is also one of my favorite characters, but I hate his name as well. Go figure.

    Devastator. There is no question what that 'bot does. Fortress Maximus, Optimus Prime, and Ultra Magnus all sound regal and important. And for someone not named before...Trailbreaker.

    And ditto on Erector and Big Daddy.

    Arrrrnhide. (That's how Ironhide says his name, and when you've got a butt made of thick metal it fits)
