Yeah, it's kinda like how Armada Demolisher is IroHide in Japan.

Outside of the staple bots, names get tossed around all the time.

Trademarks, not copyright, trademarks. *has hammer ready*

Anyway, yes, names are reused all the time between non-connecting lines. Mini-Cons and other small figures are insignificant enough for their names to be reused within connecting lines however.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- 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
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl
