    The thing about the Driller is that it's not so much multiple heads as just one big worm body with several small appendages or limbs. They swarm around the main body like tentacles or arms.

    His name will be: DILDO
    But seriously I think they won't even name it and just pick some g1 name and stamp it on the package (assuming it gets a toy later on) just so hasbro can keep the rights to said name.

    This is a Michael Bay film.

    The worm will be named Skywarp, of course.

    Nice try at being clever. I'm assuming your remark was insinuating that the Transformers in the movies have the completely wrong name choices. Well, guess what, Hasbro chooses and or picks what can be used. I can't really think of anyone who's name that is way out in left field. If what you said was a joke then I'm sorry.

    Bay doesn't just name whatever whatever, Hasbro ultimately decides what works and what doesn't.

    And there's really not a single bot in the movies that doesn't have a fitting name. (or at least a name that doesn't fit) Unlike past series where the names really were just tacked on to whoever, every robot in the movie has a name that describes their personality, physical abilities or appearence.

    Skids.


    Sorry about you being really wrong and unfunny. I can't imagine how it is to be either...but I'm sure it's tough.

    Edit: And to reply in advance: Wheelie, Rampage, Frenzy, Jetfire, Springer, Depth Charge, Wideload, Divebomb, Scattorshot...a short selection of a much longer list, all names misused to varying degrees.

    Why are they misused names exactly? I think all those names are entirely appropiate for the characters they portray.

    Transformer continuities make changes to characters all the time.

    Megatron was a dinosaur in beast wars, Optimus was a wimpy mechanic in Animated, Knockout is an vein robot in Transformers Prime and Ironhide was a naive kid in Energon. If you have a problem with the movie making changes to new characters based on G1 then you should have a problem with every single series after G1.

    And your post wasn't that funny to begin with lol
