The latter is likely related to the Orlando version of Transformers: The Ride.
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.

This is Sabrblade we're talking about. His ability to store trivial information about TV shows is downright superhuman.

Other guys are rather generic names.

EDIT:

Hmm, Armorhide and Rollbar were recolors of two of the Combaticons; can't help but wonder if yet another Bruticus repaint is in the works. If that's the case I really hope we get better names than "Movor" and "Ro-tor" for the other Commandos.



What, you don't think Ro-tor is an awesome name? You don;'t hear kids crying that Movor wasn't in the live action movies? :lol:
In seriousness, those two and this Armorhide/Tow-Line/Grindor-type name scheme blows.

The Side_Swipe thing though has me hoping MP LAmbor gets the ol' domestic release.

So they own the rights to the name Transformers as a "brand" but they cant apply it to a "ride" without a new application ??? And people wonder why I say the whole trademark and copyright system is a load of crap.

One needs only study the history of things like the "copyright" of the Happy Birthday song to see just how large the crapload is.
