What's in a name?

Weapon: Particle Beam Rifle
Out of curiosity...Are there any Transformers that you feel have the wrong name, or that there name does not match their personality and/or present characterization? Conversely, are there any Transformers which you feel "Yes! That name fits perfect!"?

For me, I have never liked the name 'Ultra Magnus'. I don't have any particular reason, but for some reason it -- at least to me -- is not a good match with a law-enforcing, truck-transforming Autobot. As for an alternative name, the jury is still out...

I usually think the names are neat for most characters. I will say that I only know of one unfortunate name and that's for an unreleased toy called "Buffalo Dump".

Imagine a kid asking their parent if they can have a Buffalo Dump, loudly, in the middle of a store.
