Check out this BBTS listing for Legends Asia Exclusive Motormouth. Now called Motorbreath!

Could this be a mistranslation, or what?

Sadly, that's the new name. "Motormaster" on its own can't be secured by Hasbro, so we've had:

- "Menasor" for his Classics and canceled Universe 2003 toys
- "The Motormaster" for BotCon 2011

And now we have Motorbreath. I still say nothing beats Trenchmouth when it comes to extreme names...

Just so you know, the packaging is completely in English for these toys.

Trench mouth! That is completely awful!

My favourite still has to be Windbreaker.

they should have called him Motorhead, and sculpted on a wee robot handlebar moustache/mutton chops combo.

I can imagine the other Stunticons calling him that behind his back.

Also, this. I'd be honestly surprised if the joke was never made at least once!

Yeah, but now Backwind is giving him the runs for his money.

But it's pronounced "wind" (whine-d) as in a winch. Not "wind" as in moving air.

Of course, that's an easy mistake to make. Poor, poor Backwind.

The universe cannot contain that much Awesome.

Oh, that's what Hasbro says. But I choose not to believe them.

Ha! Backwind. Ha!

Feel bad for Searchlight, he's the one with backwind stuck under his nose all day.
