Simple, someone posts a picture of a Transformer and whoever guesses correctly first wins! The winner posts a picture of a Transformer for people to guess and then so on...

Lucky for you, I won't go for the obscure ones (I'll leave that for Sabrblade). Here's a good one:

Be more specific. In G1/G2 names were reused quite a bit.

G2 Drench?

If I say no, I'd automatically declare Amelie the winner: It's G1 EU Drench to be exact, despite the G2 symbol.

Here's a small explanation: while Transformers ended in the US, the line kept going in Europe, with several new sub-groups. During the "EU interim" the G2 symbols made their debut, despite it still being G1 technically (one theory is that the image trademarks expired and Hasbro UK didn't have the authority to renew them, being a separate company at the time. So they designed new ones, possibly after the Leader figures of the time: Pyro and Clench)
Two of the new groups were the Aquaspeeders (Autobots) and Stormtroopers (Decepticons), which shared the same water-spraying and color changing gimmick. The Aquaspeeders were brought over to the US as the G2 Color Changers and split between Autobots and Decepticons. What's really confusing is that names were reused between regions, from both groups, "Drench" being one of them. Even I get a headache from them! :BOOM:
