Did anyone find out why octane was changed to tankor
Posted: Fri May 02, 2008 1:50 pmI was wondering if anyone who went to botcon found out why they changed the name from octane to tankor.

Ironically I filled my truck up at 63.9 this morning. Disgruntaled, now former, employee went out with a bang.
But as for Octane as a name. Hasbro couldn't trademark the name Octane because it belongs to a substance or something like that. Or was it that it's a toxic gas?
One of the two.

Posted: Sat May 03, 2008 6:47 pmI can understand that they lost the rights to use "Octane" on it's own as a name, but why didn't they go with their normal trick of sticking the faction in front as his "official" full name, as with Autobot Jazz, Decepticon Brawl, etc? I'd far rather have "Decepticon Octane" than "Tankor." I'm not a GoBot collector, FFS.
