The Energon Pub

OK, just to keep this entertaining, since someone out there will more than likely post a whole list, let's try to keep it at a 3 name per post maximum

. But seriously, which toys have never seen a name reuse due to copyright issues, or Hasbro just not reusing the names? There's

Powerglide
Warpath
Cosmos.

(I know there was a Powerglide homage in LOC Fireflight, and I know about Classics Cosmos. Just so people don't respond about 80 times telling me something I already know

)

Neliz, sorry to say, dude, but Roadbuster has been reused. Roadbuster is the Japanese name for Energon Ironhide.

There's also:
Trailbreaker
Overkill
Slugfest

Heave and Erector, thankfully. Those are HORRIBLE names.

Also, Quickswitch, which WOULD be a good name for a transformer with a lot of Automorph-style gimmicks.

Sixshot... Though of course there is an obvious reason why that name has never been reused.

Energon Sixshot?

News Credits: 3 · by **Damolisher** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 4:59 pm

Sixshot was reused in Energon. Remember Shockblast's "Brother"?

by **DJ_Soundwave91** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 5:59 pm

OMEGA SUPREME! Oh wait Energon...
Umm...What about Astrotrain? And God Ginrai?

Opps forgot about him, lol.

My excuse is I got back into tfs at the arse end of energon, and we never got a lot of the repaints in this country. (And what is the crack giving a tf that barly has 2 modes the name Sixshot?!?)

Astrotrain got used as a club exclusive and as a Classic, so he got used after G1. On God Ginrai, I don't think this thread was about Takara names, just Hasbro ones.

He got a Classics update

How about Kup?

News Credits: 972 · by **i_amtrunks** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 7:49 pm

Tap Out
Quake
Pyro

And Kup has never been re-assigned (other than his Targetmaster figure, which is the same character anyway). It's a shame, as Kup is awesome-sauce.

by **publicvisage** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 9:51 pm

Gears
Huffer
Springer

By the way, are we only using names that appeared in the show?

by **G1 Blaster** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 10:01 pm

Blaster. I have always been the red guy that transforms into a boombox. And Broadblaster doesn't count.

News Credits: 32 · by **UltraPrimal** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 10:20 pm

Do gestalt names count?
Abominus
Menasor
Computron

People can up with a bunch of "fan" modes for Shockblast, so I guess Hasbro desides to name the repaint Sixshot. Though they never included the addtional modes in the instructions to the best of my knowledge. Still not a fitting use of the name to me.

dinobots slag and sludge I don't think these three were ever reused.

by **Vega** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 12:28 am

Hooligan.

Menasor, Huffer and Springer were reused in Classics. Hooligan wasn't in G1. There was an unreleased design for a Beast Mchines Quake (redeco of Ultra Tankor). Slag was reused in G2. Sludge was reused in the "Dinobots" line in 2003 as a redeco of Beast Wars Neo Sling.
