Because that's what Takara's calling this toy.
Plus, TakaraTomy has been shying away from Japanese names for 5 years straight now. So no more Convoys.
Except for at least the Masterpieces.

Masterpieces represent the G1 versions of the characters. Only new iterations of characters get the westernized names.

United and Alternity (Goldbug, in particular) use G1 characters with Hasbro names.

Just United. Alternity still had Convoy, Bumble, and Cliff, though they bucked the trend with Goldbug.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him
)
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

Hence why I singled out Goldbug. He started the change for this line, but it happened that all post-Goldbug releases were characters that either had the same names for both markets to begin with or lacked a separate name for the other market.
