But he's not a young character like those two are, though.
Lad can also be used for younger men, not just boys. As a new recruit it seems like a fitting moniker.
Google says his name is based on Heimdall which is pretty funny if true.

He's actually older than all of the other characters, being a secret agent of Vector Sigma. He just acts like he's their age as part of his cover.
He was originally conceived as this type of character in the early stages of BWN's development:
"A mysterious individual. Appears suddenly from a time hole with a word of advice. Doesn’t like to fight, but in fact is one of the strongest Cybertrons. Once fought against Unicron. Knows this secret, but due to the shock of battle has lost his memory. Strict when it comes to time. Roughly 45."As for the "Heimdall" thing, that sounds more like an AI-based guess than anything.

Oh, there will be... a new Optimus/Starscream and Megatron/Bumblebee one year, then a different Optimus/Starscream and Megatron/Bumblebee the next year, then another Optimus/Starscream and Megatron/Bumblebee the next, and so on and so forth. That's all we're getting under this "Transformers: Timelines" label.

My bad. It was already mentioned here of Megatron & Bumblebee 2-pack.

So I guess these are just a timed exclusive for Pulse? The first set with Hearts of Steal Optimus and Starscream are now available at fan channel stores (or at least at Entertainment Earth and BBTS).
