What makes a name sound like a Transformer

Transformers names are English words bolted together. Most tell you what the robot turns into or how it acts: Bumblebee is small and yellow, Ironhide is tough, Starscream is a screaming jet. Autobot names sound bright and loyal, Decepticon names sound like a threat, and the greatest Autobot leaders carry the title Prime. Teams end in -bots or -cons, and when they combine they get one big name. Describe your robot, its alt mode and its side, and the generator writes original names that would fit on a toy box.

5 tips for naming a Transformer

  1. Start with the alt mode

    A truck, a jet and a sports car need different names. Axlebright, Talonjet and Dashplate tell you what they turn into.

  2. Fuse two words

    Most Transformers names are two words in one: Iron + vane, Spark + mend. Pick a part or a material and a trait.

  3. Pick a side

    Autobots sound heroic and warm (Gaugeheart, Bravecog). Decepticons sound cruel and cold (Voidrend, Spitefire).

  4. Use the big titles sparingly

    Prime is for an Autobot leader, -tron or -us for a Decepticon tyrant. One per story is enough.

  5. Check it is not taken

    Hasbro has used thousands of names over forty years. Search yours before you post an OC, so it is not already someone's toy.
