Hell, given how easily people can make anything sound dirty ("I'll Waterlog her Undertow, HUR HUR HUR" ...eww), it's a wonder ANY name is suitable for a kid's toy.


It's been proven Hasbro always Googles names... with Safe Mode on ;)
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

It's only a word get over it.Words can be offensive depending on the context that they are used in. In this case a name of a robot to me is not offensive. Damn PC Brigade. To quote this bloke:

This incident does not deter me from liking Power Core Combiners to the fullest extent of Cybertronian and Earthican law and beyond! The only reason I don't have any wave 2 figures yet is because I can't afford any TFs right now, what with the Christmas season and all that.

BTW, still hoping for my Technobots, Terrorcons, Maximals, Predacons, Buildbots, Insecticons and Omnibots!

My goodness...... I thought Backwind was a ridiculous name, but Spastic?!? Really!? Possibly the most widely used offensive playground insult in the UK... well, back in my day anyway. These aren't getting released without a rename, no way, Hasbro will be all over the news.

This truly is one of the most short-sighted and offensive things I have ever seen a company do, albeit through ignorance rather than genuine bad intent.

As it points out on that Wikipedia entry, the word "spastic" truly is "one of the most offensive words ever to British ears". This is not simply "political correctness", nor is is anywhere near in the same league as Slag or Slapper!

An equivalent I can think of would be if a TF toy were named the n-word or the c-word. That genuinely is how bad this is.

Renamed in the UK or not, Hasbro will find itself crucified in the UK press over this. Just imagine how a disabled child would feel, finding from the news or the internet that one of his favourite toylines has named a character after one of the cruellest and most offensive words which may be used against him.

Truly, truly appalling.
