The tank is called Heavy Tread, the helicopter is called Windsheer, the jet is called Runway, and the combined robot is called Centuritron.
At this point we have yet to discover the names of their Hasbro's counterparts. Hopefully we will get a look at their cardback soon, which may reveal their names.

Comparing names alone, is Megatron any less cheesy?
That's kinda unfair, saying that all old names from years ago have monopolized the "-tron" suffix.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Mkall wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:And Centuritron? REALLY?

Megatron is iconic. So are Tigatron and Banzai-tron to an extent. Now, any other name with "-tron" just reeks of laziness and fail in epicness.

Well, when was the last time we got a new "-tron" name? Thundertron? Or, what of before him?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:That's kinda unfair, saying that all old names from years ago have monopolized the "-tron" suffix.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Mkall wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:And Centuritron?

Not saying that. It's just I'm tired of seeing "-tron" used for new names. To me it seems like an easy way out of having to come up with a new unique name. Kinda like using "-bot" or "-con".

Yeah, but, those were the renames Takara used, since the TF brand started in America in 1984 and was brought over to Japan in 1985 (even though the Diaclone and Micro Change molds themselves were of Japanese origin originally). So the terms "Autobot" and "Decepticon" are the original faction names.T-Macksimus wrote:Wouldn't it kind of make sense to have a fair number of characters with the "-tron" ending? I mean, look at the original faction names. They BOTH end with the "tron" suffix.
For those of you confused by this, likely those of you in the States and are newer to the Transformers line, I'm talking about the Cybertrons and Destrons, or what we in America know as the Autobots and Decepticons.
