    In the Batman: The Animated Series 2-parter "Heart of Steel", the robotics company is called Cybertron. I can't get a screen cap right now because I'm at work.

    I know there are a lot of name reuses between TF and GI Joe, but what were they thinking with this one?!?

    "if we don't use this name again soon we lose the IP"

    "shit, slap it on a pilot and throw him in some jet. or jet pack. or hydrofoil. I don't really care. But I'm not filling out anymore trademark paperwork this year."

    I'm also sure I've seen short sleeved shirts with a logo saying Gatoraider.

    Not sure if the OP was being serious or not, but the term "Streetwise" predates the Protectobot. As do virtually all Transformers names.

    And this is why Hasbro has had had to start putting Autobot or Decepticon in front of so many otherwise common words that they used as names...

    And from the 'almost' category,

    -There's a city in Texas named after Galvatron. To circumvent the copyright laws, they had to call it 'Galveston'.

    -A wrestler named himself after Goldbug; but the same copyrights forced the respelling as 'Goldberg'.

    :D
