    While yes transformers have had a lot of wierd names that are just short every day words. Stinger just doesnt sound good to me.

    If it is a stunticon as alot of queues seem to suggest why can they just give these characters stunticon names really is there a big issue with changing stinger to Dead End. Dead End still from pure aestethic stand point sounds way better and definitely means business. As where stinger is like oh ouch he is going to sting me i better watch out for that lol.

    Michael Bay reportedly changes Grimlocks name to Sharptooth. lol Thats basically direct example with a more popular character and everyone would lose their shit over it. I liked dead end alot but no love for him in the movie.

    i think I'd rather have the Pagani stay Stinger than be Dead End because every time I'd see it in robot mode, lookin like Bee, it would activate me that Dead End did not have his own unique look. As for it looking like Bee, I'm sure there really is a good reason and it will have to do with a major plot point of the movie. The Pagani may not be the only look alike either.

    Let me pose you this:

    He's named dead-end

    BUT he acts and sounds and looks nothing like dead-end.

    He MAY not have any lines.

    He MAY get killed off like a fly.

    Would you still want him to be dead-end?

    Stinger
    is actually a pretty cool name. I like it. Maybe the name is just a codename for now, and the real name is going to be Dead End or something?

    It is indeed a damn shame, like really.

    Well most people from here seem to have it set in their heads that blocky blocks posing as robots and acting as shenanigan filled as they did in the 80s would make a good movie lol.

    First movie was great, DOTM shoulda been the follow up..ROTF should have been vanquished to the pits. But this movie seems promising from what we've been hearing, which says a lot since every time Mark Wahlberg talks about the movie, it sounds like its something completely different from last time

    Come on guys! Everyone complained about all the Bee repaints throughout the last 3 movies. So Hasbro said "Okay, we will get you all! We will give you 8 Bumblebee clones in the next movie but make them all different car modes." Lol, now deal with Hasbro's wave after wave of Bee Reshells lmao!!

    Stinger is such an awful name. Hopefully Hasbro will think of something better for the toy.

    Wait wait wait wait

    wait

    wait

    ...

    wait

    People constantly bitch and cry and moan because Michael Bay is raping their childhood because the movie "characters" are nothing but nameslaps. Now we get a new name for a new character....and people bitch and cry and moan because it's NOT a nameslap?

    Like....my brain is bleeding though my anus right about now!

    sorry bud, but may want to get some medication for that ;) 

    On a serious note, I don't know why anyone is getting their hopes up for re name or getting pissed about the name. As of right now, it could just be a production name. Until its officially revealed on Bays site as to what the name is, there is no reason to get all up in your feeling either way over it lol

    It's best not to try to understand the missing logic of Bayverse haters. Plus, responses to any intelligent discussion will usually be countered with "well Michael Bay just sucks."
