How likely do you think it’d be to get a character in a western Transformers show called Convoy, or having that in their name?

Because honestly I think the name Convoy sounds nice and like a good name for a character, but like. That’s because it is, it’s just Optimus’ Japanese name

And it’s like for that reason, are they able to have a character named Convoy in something over here? Because then there’s the question of what you call the character in Japan if Optimus is already there and called Convoy over there

I mean I think the Western and Japanese sides of the brand are relatively separate, so I mean maybe? Though I don’t really know how it works on the toy front. Or how any of this translates into using the name elsewhere in general

Hmm, I really don’t know. Does anyone else? Because I’m thinking about this now

#like okay I could just make an OC called Convoy if I really wanted to use the name #but I’m also aware that it’s just Optimus’ Japanese name so isn’t that just technically Optimus?#I’m a weird stickler about canon things at least part of the time #I’m also probably butchering everything I’m saying sorry about that #brain not good at words #and realistically if there were to be another character named after Convoy they’d probably be connected to OP in some way #but it is just a nice name and I want another character with that name #I guess there’s Lio Convoy? But other than his name I don’t really know anything about him #other than that he’s from Beast Wars 2 #but yeah anyways #transformers #tf convoy #optimus prime #questions #random stuff
