How dare you forget the Autobots! Leaper, Sandnado, and Longside are timeless characters with flawless names!

There's also Megatron who has one sick scowl on both his Leader and Voyager toys.
Menasor's pretty angry, so is Blades; the Torchbearers all have some smile going on, and Offroad in particular stands out as suitably creepy. Not to mention some of the Titan Masters; Thunderwing's crazy, Rodimus is old and Nightbeat needs psychiatric help. There's some range of emotion if you look hard enough.

No but seriously all of the Hasbro generations toys that have come out recently have no emotion at all the only one I can think of is Bumblebee's small smirk.
Say what you will about RID but at least their warrior figures have something on their faces most of the time.

Rook is frowning, probably because of his ushanka/ football helmet hybrid

I don't own Megatron (yet) so I wouldn't know but anyways now we have stare, angry, a couple of smirks and whatever expression Nightbeat is supposed to have.
I despise that expression on Nightbeat a lot it really should of been Siren/Loundmouth since that would actually make sense for him to be "yelling" in fact I think that's what was supposed to happen looking at the the two of them but the colors were switched for toy accuracy despite the fact that no other Nightbeat has had the toy face like ever.

Unfortunately, I think this is simply another symptom of the current design team's rampant toy-accuracy. Blurr's colour scheme, Hardhead not having a face... and Nightbeat not actually looking like how he looked in every fictional appearance he had ever. But it's fine because he looks like the toy a handful of people had as a kid and half of that handful were annoyed he didn't have his shades from Marvel.
Sorry if I seem bitter; it just seems like Barber and his team could use a bit of tact every now and then.

I wonder if Octone and Octane are related.
Re: Collector Cards for Transformers Titans Return Octone, Blitzwing, and Slugslinger revealed

I've been hoping, since the very first point when the Nightbeat and Loudmouth TMs came out, that we'd be later seeing full Deluxes of each with the faces switched. At this point, knowing how part trees seem to work in this line and with just one Deluxe wave left to go, I'm optimistic for a mass retail release for either of those guys - but at the very least, I'm still super-hoping for a Nightbeat (with the Loudmouth TM face or a similar one) in one of the box-sets! Please please please

Uhm, yeah? "Octane" can't be trademarked, hence all the Tankors. At least this time the name's more fitting (and easier to hold since it's a nonsensical word) as it's the original Japanese name. It even has "Decepticon", analogous to the current "Destron Octone" the Henkei toy holds.

Octone isn't just Hasbro changing the A for an O in his name to avoid trademark ya know. His name in Japan is actually Octone so Hasbro is using his name in Japan instead to just calling him Tankor because they can't use Octane.

Yes I know Octane is a general fuel term and can't be trademarked. But why not something like "Decepticon Octane", much like "Autobot Jazz" or "Decepticon Brawl" where the name is a compound trademarkable phrase. Or just Tankor again.
I was not aware Octone was his Japanese name however.
In any case, Octone sounds weird in english. Tankor would have been fine IMHO.
Still, I can say I got a good laugh out of the potential alternate names for other triple changers.
