In the Transformers universe (i.e. all fictional representations, be they toys, comics or cartoons) which transformer and which human share the same name?

This may be sneeky but...
Skids - its the name of a TF and its the name of a mutant linked to X-force which is the Marvel universe which is where the TFs are as Spiderman was in forst few issues - right?

Sparkplug was the first name that came to mind with me, but technically that's a nickname rather than a name. (At least in the comics, who knows with the cartoons?)
There's a Japanese Micromaster called Joe. There's bound to be a human Joe in the mix somewhere.
Then there's the Godmaster, Buster, who shares his name with the young Witwicky.
There are various Transformers who share their names with GI Joe members' codenames, if not actual names, which co-exist in the Marvel universe. (Depthcharge, Shockwave etc.)

Good answers there, Nigel, but none of those match the one I am thinking of.

There's a whole pile of Joes and TFs a with the same name: Shockwave, Crankcase and Payload spring to mind

Hang on a minute, G, you can't ask a question and then discount all the correct answers!  |

Let me see, what other correct names are there that Graham can ignore?
Billy (Cobra Commander's son was called Billy.)
Rad.
Any of the human Animorphs.
Various Masterforce characters.

So really, the question was not 'which Transformer shares the same name with a human?" but rather "which Transformer that I'M THINKING OF shares the same name with a human?" Graham should own a casino Pete |

Various Masterforce characters. That would have been my answer as well. All of the Headmaster Juniors and the Godmasters share their names with the Transformer they control (Graham never said that it had to be a sentiant Transformer). Also, if you stretch the point a little the English dub of the Headmasters cartoon featured a few Transformers with human names like Billy and Willy for instance. |
