    I think he was announced at the tail end of FOMO mania. Now that the aftermarket has cooled, idk if NRD will continue to be a thing.

    The only thing on the slides with any indication is Hoodlum which we can try and extrapolate, but that isn't very precise. I have no idea what info may have been given to be said since I didn't attend, and didn't see video of the panel.

    My knowledge about history may very well be wrong but I assumed he was named after that guy who rode elephants over the alps. 40F95199-2DD1-4BAA-A28C-0C4AE0BCB04D.jpeg

    I think it's referring to Hannibal Lector.

    I assumed they named him after Hannibal Barca.

    While Lecter really makes no sense, I thought it was named after it too. I fail to see the reference if any, that is.

    That is probably a more intelligent conclusion than mine, the one I came up with was John "Hannibal" Smith. That led me to try and think which A-Team members the other Autobot Headmasters might be, though it left me 1 short anyway so I gave up.

    Fort Max is a leader, Hannibal Barca is a leader... That's the only connection I could make.

    Huh... After seeing all the other responses I always assumed it was a reference to the "A team" especially after other American references such as the Aerialbot and Stunticon names.

    Guess we will know if the other Autobot headmasters have A team names as well.

    Yep. I fully expecting the headmaster for Scorponok/Zarak to be named Scipio

    I think that is the guy who rode the elephants, no?

    He rode atop a great beast.
