    Gingham, Loafer, and Vroom are indeed major offenders. I was also never a fan of the names Galaxy Shuttle and Storm Jet -- something about the unimaginative literalism of having your altmode BE your name, it's a bit much.

    I can't believe I forgot about CLENCH. That's truly one of the worst. Perhaps, maybe, the worst of all.

    Wait, is it Brakedown or Breakdown? I thought it was break because he was always this close to breaking down.

    Deathsauraus: He turns into a bird-thing, not a Dinosaur! Also, it's hard as hell to say correctly, since I want to add an "A" in-between Death & Sauraus.

    Piranhacon: Not one of his members is a piranha, and the combiner itself can't transform into a piranha.

    Also, it's not technically a Transformer, as it's a group of Transformers, but the group name Pretender Monsters sounds really bad.

    You wacky guy. Deathsaurus is an awesome, badass name! And he turns into a dragon, that's dinosaurish enough. And on top of it all, his name was originally DesZaras -- "Des" as in "Destron" (Japanese for Decepticon) plus "Zaras" as a modification of "Zarak" (like Lord Zarak, MegaZarak, Black Zarak).

    Piranacon (no H) is fine. The name evokes a terrifying underwater predator type Decepticon. Plus, Piranhas attack in groups, making it more appropriate for a combiner.

    Bah. Nothing wrong with that, it's just a classification. Pretender Vehicles, Pretender Classics, Pretender Monsters... why not?

    Now the BREASTFORCE... Oy vey.

    The Monstructor Six do need an actual name.

    Glitch (did the naming machine get one?)
    DeathBringer (sounds like something from a 10 year old's fanfiction)
    King (bad name, scary robot)
    Arachnid (a spider that turns into a base named for the classification for spiders and scorpions)
    Watch-bot
    Wasp
    Brainstorm (some people with epilepsy seizures find that offensive, though now a days what isn't offensive to someone?)

    Sky High (micromaster) for the sole reason that I had to type "micromaster" just so you'd know which character I was talking about.

    Huh? To "brainstorm" means to collaborate which makes it a very appropriate name for a Headmaster.

    Pretty much every Beast Wars name. I hate when they name themselves after their disguises...does everyone on both sides except the mission leader change their name every mission?
